Walterboro'a Town Council do- aaroi congratulatlona for the rcry liberal action it took Thursday nigh at the special meeting called to consider the hotel proposition. This action shows the right spirit—the spirit that builds cities and lm- proves communities. We trust that the example set will prove of en couragement along other lines till we shall have several very much weeded improvements Council as the mouthpiece of the town can do nothing better than to extend an invitation to prospective Investor tbst a welcome will await their coming, and no better welcome can ba given capital then a franchise For instance, we think an electric lighting plant would not only be a good thing for the town but would prove a paying Investment to the stockholders. Let Council pasa an ordinance remitting whatever H- oeuM feet would accrue for a period of five or ten years, and see if a plant will not be forthcoming. We believe H wilt That a hotel will be built as a result of the meeting Thursday night Is not to be questioned. This will be a starter for another bullld- ing boom in Walterboro, such as was started two year* ago by the arsetion. of the new school building. -—Ws are glad to see It, and we again congratulate Council. “RABID PROHIBmON IDEAS” efforts ia this matter. Thu tlmu soma wbea the couaty just must keep up In tha procession or be counted a laggard. Colle ton county Is not a laggprd, and the many Interested trustees and patrons who are also working on this matter will hear this out. The work his Just started, and the task is almost superhuman, where there is so much prejudice and stubborn ness as exists In Colleton county in matters pertaining to the schools 8f the county. Bat here a little, there a little, is this only way to bring about the desired reforms. Leis fight It oug along thl^ line ESTABU3HLU ib,6 Terry & Shaffer 0 Department Store. DRYGOODS DEPARTMENT (Prices on the-e Leaders for ttys week on!)) Si One of the readers of The Press and Steodard, and one In whose good Judgment we„ have much con fidence, characterises our stand for prohibition, and the arguments we have advanced In support of our prohibition sentiments as being "rs- bld.” This reader also thinks that the expression of these ideas has gone much to cause some of our readers to hav^ unkindly feelings for the paper and for Its editor. The former we cannot admit; the latter may be true, but for every •Many we ha we made because of our prohibition Ideas, we have made ten f^nda. We do not believe many of the people of Colleton oounty, or of R.ny other county will feel enirilty for that paper In .which is wuped s warfare for the cause of right and manhood. No father can be an enemy to thn.t which la fighting for hla son's welfare. If a few persons think that our views are "rabid" we cannot help it. They are honestly rabid. If they are, »>.nd we are glad to say that the great majority of our people ar also in >passes8i6n of "rabid" pro hibition ideas. The vote stood over five to one fn favor of prohi bition, and we believe another vote taken now after trying prohibition would be ton *o on . Tnu people of "olleton «ounty lave no desire to go back t'« the tu’e of liquor In sny form. If, however, we have made ene mies by the stand we have taken we shall have to take thei^ and we desire to give notice that views are Juct as rabid now ever. We are unregenerate. to use Grant's words. If It takes all a of the summer and a great many more summers. Supt. Tate also deserves credit for the Interest hie has In our schools. He Is do ing a great work In the State, and. one which places us under ever lasting debt and of gratitude. His letter follows: Mr. W. W. Bmoak. Editor Press and Standard, Walterboro/ 8. C. My dear Mr. Smoak: — - The last Issue of the Press and Standard contained so much Interesting educational news, and has so much space devoted to this important phase of development iq Colleton county that I should like to have eight or ten copies to send to a few County Superintendents In South Cexollna. Would It be possible for me to get them? i congratulate you on the edura- tiunnl awr-kenlng which you are bringing to pass in Colleton. that other (ouutles in South Caro lina will catch tlx spirit. » Good Grade Oaatou Flsmsrl Sc yd.
