On that day the Graded and High School began its session in the handsome new building which was made possi ble by the bond issue.

N '- jn* COTTON SELLING There are a apeciea of tottdn aail* era to this community who need sympathy, if it would do them any good r but it will not, we fear. We refer to thdt clase of cotton eellerd who every year preach the doctrine that any ootton market in the coun try beata Walterboro as a cotton market. Now we candidly delict believe this, and when it comes to getting us to believe it, we are from Missouri. Whenever we have taken the trouble to investigate the matter we have found that on corresponding days Walterboro was paying just as much if not a little '‘mucher” than * any adjacent market. Now we do not care so much if cotton is sold in this county whether or not it comes to Walterboro, though Walterboro is a good place to sell cotton, that is not the point. Colleton cotton should be sold in Col- j leton, not in Dorchester, Bamberg ; or Orangeburg couftties.' We be- 1 DEPARTMENT STORE SALE V ‘ i..* 4 . .

We are informed that another of those periodical attempts to get up a petition to annex Warren township to Bamberg county is now being made. We are not alarmed over this attempt, because we do not be lieve that the intent is very serious. In fact, from what we can learn, the petitions are being carried round b> those who have been promised re- muneration bf certain of the pro-1 er . here paid i:|5-16c.

We I believe they are fooled. An example | of very recent occurence will prove this.

We desire to endorse the plan of taking the road work of the county out of the hands of the county sup ervisor and commissioners, as at present, and placing it in the hands of a competent road commission, to be appointed by the governor. This will have the effect of removing this very important work from the realm of politics and placing it on a busi ness basis. Road working is not a political- work, but an engineering and practical science. There are men trained in the science of road building^JM will be demonstrated when the mile of road being con structed in this county now by the United States expert, Mr. Wells, is completed^ and we opine that if we are wise in Colleton we will endeavor to continue the good work and will see the wisdom of employing just such a man as Mr. Wells to direct it. The more we see of the work done by Mr. Wells and his methods the mdre are we convinced that it re quires just as much trained ability to build good roads in Colleton county as it does in New York, FTMce or Germany. It is time for us to get rid of the idea that '‘any body can build a good road/’ for it to pot true. / Balt aw uacd funds -with which to apd. tfcb brings us back to a Lyceuiji Association at. Still water, Minn., which is now in corporated and a part owner of (Tie fine schools in that city. President Weld has had the man agement of a Lyceum course for twelve yeys and now, at Moor head, conducts one of the. best in tne state. His opinion as to its value has weight: “A course of Lyceum attrac tions affords instructive and wholesome entertainment at moderate cost. Such a course of entertainments has a distinctive mission, and it reaches a large class of individuals. An effective lecturer exerts a stimulating and very direct influence upon the minds of his hearers, and, in directly, he touches the lives of many other people. The value of good lectures to the moral and intellectual life or a community cannot be estimated. The town which supports a Lyceum course is trying to keep abreast of the times, and many a community, believed to be dead to things in- tejlectiial, has been aroused to enthusiastic support of all good things under the guiding influ ence of a Lyceum course. There are very few towns in which a Lyceum course may not be made a success. A little work, care-; ful advertising, and a judicious selection of lecturers and other attractions will insure good re sults, always. Strong attrac tions always bring the hest re turns from every point of view. A Lyceum course is a success, if the enterprise breaks gyen. The best returns to a community are not in money values. It is an encouraging sign to note - the active interest which small com- munities are taking in the Ly ceum course, and the prediction may be safely made that the Ly ceum Bureau will continue to exert an increasing influence in the shaping of conotming tint tad wholesome entertain ment" ^x ‘ OU ! lit 15th of October.

THE HAND THAT POINTS. * Seldom has this paper ever dbne a bit of more effective work than that of sending out the papers of those whose subscriptions have expired stamped with a hand pointing to the following words: “Your Subscription Has Expired—Please Remit”. The response to this stamp has been very satisfactory. There are yet a few who have not responded, and we must remind them that if we do not hear from them soon the hand will point again.
