Considerable interest has been ex pressed over the possibility of this county’s securing the services of an ncrlcultural expert, as mentioned in the last issue of The Press and Standard, and several persons have expressed a* willingness to comr'.huto to such fund. Their names will be found In another column of this is sue, and ft^eel sure there are many others who will hasten to offer their contributions. The time, however. In short In which to raise this money If It Is to be available for this year, or at least in time for it to be instru mental In doing our farmers much good this crop season. The Press and Standard would be delighted to Sadh this matter pushed to a success ful conclusion at once, and fcrill be gleaned to receive, contrlbutlpns for jtfeln purpose. Surely there are a hun dred farmers and busineas fnen in 'fhe county who would be wllilng to >eqatr!bute $10 each for this guropee. 'Jfi you are let us know, and we shall (he pleased to publiah your na^ne and’ the amount you will contribute. Let ws have the expert. BUILD1NU AND LOAN ASSOCIA TION. The Press and Standard is of the •pinion that there is nothing which -will add to the material welfare and growth of Walterboro more at this time than a building and loan asso ciation. A crying need of the town now is for more residences, and more home owners. The poor man and the man working for u moderate sal ary ran In no other way own his home.' The building and loan asso ciation will enable him to own his home in a few years for the same money he pays for r^utal. It ' 'll also enable the man of moderate means to build a home to rent, thus adding another family to the popula tion of the town. The man of mean* will, also be benefltted. especially If his means consists of rj»al estate—a market will be made for his vacant lots, and ft Stimulus given evci*y Industry of ‘•the town. A dozen homes going up In the town will give employment to scores of skilled workmen. The builders will buy builumg material—<• business for the saw mill man. shin gle man, hardware man. ■fne con tractors and workmen will need homes—business for the hotels, gro cers, dry goods, cloth.ng. shoes and furniture stores. The owners of the homes will become real residents of the town—fixtures—deserting the •‘floating” element. They win, there fore, be tax payers, will ..patronize the schools, will become cnurch mem bers, Masons, Knights, Woodmen, Elks, Red Men. Some rew of them msy actually become subscribers to The Press and Standard. They will b« depositors in our banks, clients Of our lawyers, patterns of physicians, buyers of drugs.'and so on. Thus It will be seen ^ that every phase of life In the commuillty will be touched ffhd bettered because of such an as sociation Walterbor<r-must havf a building ftnd loan association, and will have .B our prediction. So let everyone begin to think of this and discuss it, and when approached :o take stock, do it cheerfully and thus co-operate to build s greater Walterboro. WBY NOT HEED TRK CALL? An aKIeto Is published on the from of The Press aOd Standard this week relative to the culture of to bacco in Colleton county. It will be to demonstrate whether or not lo- beeeo eftftld be aeeeoasfaUg grown In this county. The company planted several acres jaat ontal0e the Incor porate limits of Walterboro, and n splendid crop of tobacco was grown. Unfortunately for the enterprise that year happened to be e bed year for tobacco, and the gricee received for thb crop were sack no to prove dis couraging to the stockholders, and thft company was disbanded, at a 1 Anaaclal loss to the steokhald- No one of them had caoagb mo'Scy In It worth while to pat np another margin to recoup the next year the lorn of the first, and as a consequence no tobacco" has been grown In Colleton since. This effort, however, was not In vain, for it was demonstrated beyond doubt that the soil or this county is an ideal one for the growth of the weed, an dthat if proper efforts were weed, end that if proper efforts ««*»■« be assured. Buyers will come If the crop Is grown, and la a rew years Walterboro would be as good a to bacco market as Muiilns, Florence, Kingstree, or any of these Piedmont towns. Not only will the soil of tbe county produce tobacco, but we uo not know of a better in the State ror the cul ture of cantaloupe and watermelon. Wherever gall-berries grow, straw berries will make excellent yields. Why say more? Why will Colleton farmers confine themselves to cotton and corn, when here are fields for harvest which will yield far richer returns? Get out of :ne rut,” Mr. Farmer, and diversify. Have some thing to market ail the time, and thus let your income be spread over the entire year and not over three months as is the case with cotton farmers. Are there not a few progressive farm ers who will' try a few acres of these products this year? Be pioneers. Produce prosperity. Cease complain ing and tap the wonderful resources the Creator has placed c.: your finger tips. It would-be well for Governor Rteaae to write a book giving his opinions of his career and his ver- ion of his successes, anc much cheap er for the tax payers of the State who have to pay for printing in the journals the numerous messages he sends to the legtslsture. Not only is It expensive to the taxpayers of the State but he delays legislation by consumlqp^so much time of the General Assembly listening to his numerous utterances. Had the Gov ernor contented himself * with, his «?*,jBbssage the historian could have formed a far better opinion of him. This message wan s splendid paper and contained some good suggestions, tootf of which The Press and Stand ard favors and has favored. / Who Are They, Brother? A. number of street lamps have been broken recently about town and it has been difficult to get proof to bonvkt the guilty parties. Last Saturday night about i0 o’clock as one of the Aldermen was going borne a lamp was smaahpd on George Avenue, and as he proceeded toward the boys they rsn right into his arms. As the officer closed in on one of them he managed to secure a fountain pen from the pocket, but the fellow broke loose and ran. The fountain pen led up to the iden tification of the boys. In the May or’s court Monday morning two of the three were flned $50.00 each ahd the third was given fl00.00. A few more doses like this will probably put a stop to this evil prac tice.—Dorchester Eagle. * Mrs. W.

Last week the horse and some of the hogs went raacL from the ef fects of the mad dog s bite. Tbe horse was confined in a stall of plank. A portion of the stall was kicked and pawed down, so more substantial ar rangements had to be made In or der that the horse might be Iqipound- ed during the paroxisms brought on by the hydrophobia. Quife s number of Mrs. Strickland's neighbors came to hey aid. Tbe horse c;ed about 12 o’clock Friday night. A. J. Smosk lost h:s residence by fire last Friday night.
