We appreciate the many kind things said about the Trade and Industrial edition of last week by the people of our town and county generally. It Is gratifying to know that ones efforts toward building up our town and county are appre- appreciated We feel encouraged nt the reception given this edition * a to try to get out others of a similar nature In the future. We have a splendid field t^ exploit, and the co-operation and support of the business people of the town and county, which mr-de It possible for ns to get out this edition, shows a ready spirit to assist In the work of • exploiting it. It is not the duty of the newspaper only to do this kind of work, hut every citlxen should Jol» In. This Is the way cities are built and t are put on the map. serves great credit for the splendid showing made, and numerous com plimentary remarks have been hear / as to the progresslvenesa of this little city so recently put upon the map as one of the most progressive In the Btate. pot ns la •f humanity.

If you wa-nt to ‘ rise In- business, raise the business you are in. A house cannot rise sad keep down the man who rais ed it any more than a man can rise out of the water Mid keep dow the life preserver that raised him.” No man can do a dollar’s worth of work for a dollar. To do a dol lar’s worth of work for a dollar and aomething more you must work for love of the business or for the love of something'—for something more than the dollar. A mere hire ling never does more than fifty cents worth of work for a dollar, because he has nothing to work for but the dollar. He may meet the requirement aa to quantity, hut never aa to quality. He hitches his wagon to nothing higher than his pay envelope. There are none of us but want ' to rise, and rise as rapidly as we csn. Whether we are schoolboys or bank presidents, whether we are schoolgirls or women of influence and wisdom, the desire of every on of us is to rise. Hut there is not much chance to rise unless we know what we vant to rise to. The mac* that we see walking rapidly down the street is going somewhere He has a purpose So we should be !n our work. We should work tor more thtui the men' money that we are to receive for our work. We ‘ should have an aim. one that will lift us higher than money ran lift ua. For it takes more than money te take us happy or successful. GOVERNOR OAJTT FIND PROHI- BITION. At Pogls’s Min la Oraagsbarg # A. couatp Governor Bleaae recently made a' speech at the Farmer’s Un- tea pic He there, aad among his re marks ho la reported to .have made the foUowIng: “I eoald disease vlmt some people call prohibition aad I am sorry to toll yoa If ther f»! shy la Booth Carolina, I am jagablq to flad It.” He hae not hden In Colleton county, searching for It, because If he had been • ' » « • down here he cOnld have found * * a pretty cloee resemblance of It, de spite the fact that a few blind tiger » fostered becaues of (he sympathy of the Governor. bt.ve opened their places of business In some of the sections of the county. The fact that there are not s great many more, considering the absolute'erin- dlfference of the officers of the law of this county ( Is one of the greatest arguments In the world that we have a good quality of pro hibition In thlac ounty». Even Bleasc would find it hard to get a drink In Walterboro and In a gree*t many other sections of the county. But this remark of the Governor, wslde from being very improper in the Chief Executive of the State, is not borne out bv the facts. At Filbert, in York county, a few days sgo there were assembled about four thousand persona at ft picnic, which waa to have been addressed by> the Governor, but he was absent, unexplalnedly ( ?), and the absence of any drinking was so noticeable that the YorkviHe Enquirer com- ♦v mented a4 some length editorially upon the fart that prohibition had worked wonders In that community This Is not an Isolated case. for the same thing Is true in many sections of South Carolina, a-nd In Colleton* county. Despite the few blind tigers here and there, there is not one-fifth the liquor drunk here that was consumed under the dispensary, and this is not all there Is being created In Colleton county a sentiment that will very soon put out of business the ffw blind tigers that have reared their heads in the bushes of backwoods communities. But why* notice the vaporings of a Governor whose sympathies are with the liquor elements in and out of the State- - a Governor who is reported to ha*ve stopped at a blindh tiger and treated a coterie of ■friends the morning he was^naugur ated as the Chief Executive officer of the sovereign State of South Carolina? r SPACE (CONTRACT) RATES (To Ra Used Wtthia a Tsar) IBS to MR IaPP or .1# .14 .IS .IS twemly-ftre celts, five cento a liar eoch laucetloa.

This time the difficulty resulting la blows was at the Walterboro hotel Monday evening between J. R. Law recce and E. L. Halsey. It seems that there had been some differen ces between these gentlemen a few days ago, and when they met at the hotel Monday evening, Mr. Halsey brought the matter up, and Insisted on settling It then and there. Mr. Lawrence disclaimed having anything against Mr. Hal sey but the lattei 1 said he had some thli-c against Mr. Lawrence, and they had as well settle It. T^ey then came to blows and Mr. Law rence struck Mr. Halsey, and the latter fell out of the door on hit head, making a bad bruise. Friends of both parties Intervened and separated the belligerents.
