Walterboro Is getting to be a ver center of pugnacity.—Charleston Evening Post. IjET there be peace. Hats off to Editor Smoak and Foreman Grave* for upholding the pugilistic reputation of "the preM." —Summerville New*. We have besrd the remark sev- enul time* that The Prewt and 9 Standard force were flr-iHl, say ten or fifteen dollars worth for fight ing and thirty-five or forty dollar* for writing about It. Thn-t la one way to account for the amount of these fine* We desire to commend the In creased interest In education one sees over the county. Trustees are getting ready for the next school term, and are trying In many of the districts to get an Increased amount of funds with which to run tbelr schools. Several districts have already? voted special levies for this purpose, n-nd several more are contemplating this move. The sympathy of the newspaper fra4ernlty over the State will go out to Editor Aull of the Newberry Herald and News on account of the death of his wife which occured Fri day at their home in Newberry of typhdld fever. Mrs. Aull was a charming lady and was popular with the members of the Fourth Estate who will miss her on their aaaual gatherings. These days owe ’ ears much of the qppbtlon of universal peace, and the disarmament of nation*. In this question we are as much concern ed, perhaps, as aay people aa the globe, as a nation. But what we need aa a community Is peace at home. There are getting to be entirely too many breaches of peace In Walterboro aad Colleton county?, between the cltixens. Such private warfare docs not do our town or county angr good, and tends to sir* a black eye to our community. Let us advise peace, gentlemen. Try to settle your differeocea amicably and avoid the appeal to brute force. Nothing Is gained by such course. True there are times when men have to fight to protect their hon or themselves against attack. Wal terboro has had too much of this sort of thing recently and It is time to call a halt. I^>t there be peace. •HTOP MY PAPER/ MSSHBSPW Just Received | wanted—a lady V V^a Jgw S^MMkl, wood Freeh Ufi We have fine line of Can Goods. Drip*, 2 lb. eaa 29c.

FOX Sheriff, Colleton County*. The highest duty of an editor is to battle with wrong. This, of course, brings him in conflict with wrong-doers, and they are apt to show their spite In vbriou* ways It is quite common fo the thin- skinned or wounded to rush into the office ard shout "stop my pa per!" This class is pointedly shown up in the following fashion: A w certain man hit hia toe against a pebble, and fell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and un der Influence of anger and self-suf ficiency? he kicked mother earth right saucily. With imperturable gravity, he looked to see the earth Itself dissolved and come to naught but the earth remained, and only hia poor foot was injured in the en counter. This is the way of man. An article In the newspaper touches him In a weak spot, and forthwith he eerda to "stop his paper.!' With great complacency he looks to see the crash, when he finds he only hit his toe against the world that does not perpetually feel the shock, and Injures no one but himself. No sensible editor expects to please everybody. Such an editor lays no claim to Infallibility?, and may at times even fall into error. But an outspoken, independent journal, aiming to support the right and attack the wrong, Is such a power for good in ar<y community that well-balanced minds will look over little faults In view of the great benefit conferred. An editor who Is afraid lie questions for fear of offending somebody, may have an easy time of It; but he will never amount to much as a leader of opinion.

It la reported that a teacher ac cepted a school a few days sgo, one of the stipulations by the trus tees being that the school last from toes begin that the school last from 7:20 In the morning till 0:30 In the afternoon.
