But, if possible, we urge: HOLD YOUJt C OTTON. Of course we run the risk of ha*lag It said that It la none of our business etc , but we rise to a question of conomy n the man agement of the town's affairs. We refer especially to the employmeiv of two men where one would be ample to do the work, and where then, one salary could be saved to make sand-clay streets. The par ticular "Jobe* to which we refer are those of policeman and pump man. There Is abeolutely no rea son why the work of these two po sitions could not be performed by one man. In truth we believe this was done severs 1 weeks quite recen ly.' This Is spoken Mn the Interest of economy, and It will be well for the Tow?• (VmidHI to think seriously of this ma.tter. It is not. Tha tloa of a modem school building with Its aplendid equipment, and well trained, able corps of te£h- mu,'* provides facilities for high school and preparatory work at home, at a fraction of tke coot of sending pupils to school out of the qounty. In addition' to this n portion of each week can he spent at home, where hbme Influen ces caci bo maintained. ' Parents who have children, at this critical age, away from hdme, cannot feel perfectly satisfied. Aa waa said In last week's Issue, the school la now fully equipped an prepared to do a great work, not only for the town but for the entire county. Pupils from any part of the county will be admitted without tnltloa charges, to the high school department, which embraces the work to be done from the eighth grade up.

HOU> VOI R roTTON. There Is only a couple of months now until Walterboro hopes to welcome every Coilefon cltlten to o the Fair grounds, lej.vlng the latch string or< the outside for “the stranger within her gates." When the Fair opens, every one expects exhibits that will deserve the strongest exclamations of praise This Important part Is in the hands of the people of the county and al though It Is too late now to grow pigs growing, the calvea healthy* that sort, now la the time to look out for what la alreoiy provided. Select now what you wish to ex- w hlblt, and give It special attention until November, and the blue rib- bom which signify “Well done.’" will adorn your exhibits. Keep the prize growing, the calves healthy anal strong, see that the fowls are properly looked after during this, their moulting period. As all poul try fai.-iers know', the fowls should he fed very little during the begin ning of their moulting for a week or sq. letting them become very light. Then as the feathers begin to drop out, commence feeding again all they will eat. including a gen erous supply of sunflower seed in their ration. Soon kJI the old feathers are .out, and beautiful, glossy plumage tr.kes their place. If the good housewives need a reminder, we might suggest that the canning ar-d preserving season is on, and one of the most popular departments Is theirs, so he pre pared. good ladies, each to do your part toward making the fair a success. a ■v To the fancy workers, we might hlr< that from the little knowledge of the stitches we have, those In- '4* tricate and fascinatingly beautiful ■« * ' things your skilful fingers can •» fashion, are rot made In a day. *o don't put them off too long or they might rot he finished in time. To one and aJI, we might suggeqi* that amongst other thirds whifh the renowned Webster of the blue hark speller fame taught, one of I the truest Is the adage, “I’rocraa- j filiation is the thief of time," so idont put off anything which It is center of educational Influence in the county, which it should be and which it will be in the near future. TNiere were several high school pupils enrolled last term, r-rtd this year more have expressed a determination to attend. The boundary lines of the dis trict have been, extended thus takln in a greet many pupils who are to be gtven the advantages of this school. Plans are on foot looking to the organization of a teacher's association, to holding numerous contests among the schools of the county. Prof. Shealy, the new prin- cipr.J of the school is very much Interested li:* these matters and will prove an invaluable worker. He should have the co-operation of every teacher and trustee in the county. Before sending off your 1 boy or girl to another county, where it If the majority of the votes cast in said School District shall be "For High School, and not “Against High School,’’ the High School shall be established. Within ten days after the elec tion, the above named managers shall report to the Board the re sult of the election and furnish them with the poll Hat, the ballot box and all papers appertaining thereto.
