A little money Judiciously spent in advertising at the Corn Exposi tion in Columbia would have yielded great results for Colleton " A Two giant enterprises for the building of a larger Walterboro in one month, the ice and light plant and the building an* :aan associa tion.

Corn, aa Kiag if Agriculture. u>ng live the kiag! •> A GOOD MAN fMp'E. In the death of Congressman Le- gare, which occurred last Thursday, this district has lost an Ideal repre sentative aad the Democratic Patty a strong member. Fearless to the discharge of his duty, ever on the watch-tower in behalf of his constit uents. a strong man in high pa.ty councils. Congressman ’^esare's place will be hard to All. Whi'c a* ever kept before him the good of his own district, he believed that in seeking the good of the nation *ie 'vus best representing those who selected him. As It is necessary to cbooae his SttcCetsor immediately, why not send a man from Colleton county? it haa been a long time since Co'.^eton Was the home of the Congressman, and we claim that it is our time. There are scores of men in the coiu»> who could well Ail the position, and we sincerely trust that one of them at least will stnle for the po sition. _ - v , THE B. AND L. ASSOCIATION. The Press and Standard sincerely hopes that the business men of the tov.n and county will rally to the support of th* proposed i)utiding and Loan Association, and it has enonrh cotiGdenre in the business men to venture the prediction that the sup port necessary for such a venture will be forthcoming at once. It is true that Building andA«oan Associa tions from the standpoint of the man with money to invest does not hold out Aattering hopes of fabulous divi dends, but the interest paid on the money invested, usually about six P*r cent is probably better Income from Id^e enterprises do not call for a large outlay of money at any one time, the investment ottered for the spare dollar* w'ii h r.urht not be saved In Ay • u.er mauu ■<, mast «r<t be lost sight of. Bat why ih* appeal to the business mea when the most attrc:tlve pait of the eaterpris .s lie man i.i modec ata circumstances and o »ua saUiv? Simply because such an e^'erpriae requires th#., support and «'u~o::ra«;e- ateat of men who ha\o made a suc- •w*a hrith their own means, and must have the guidance sad adv<ec of more thaa one succeasful business auan. Farthermore. such an eater- prise will result in more money to the business Ran In the way of higher values for his reel estate, more peo ple to feed aad clothe from the a to res of the tows, more money to deposit in the basks, aad, la gensral. to tho larger fletd thaa afforded for haatoaaa t**a**m*g>. Alao, the ekrle aide moat not he overlooked- One of tho. boat adver- tlssMaata to any county and town Is Urn. fact that within their border* there fa a strong aaaoeiaUoa for tho bulMlag of mtro home*. Tfea hast adverttaeamnt for this couaty today la probably the quarterly atatoaMata of bar banks. Thea, let’s iacrense this' maQiod of advortMav by show ing the statements of tk* strongest Balldlag' ni»E>LDan Association poe- alMe for tho couaty. To tbs homs- sesker, on* of tho BM>st attrnctlve things that he can And In his pros pective home is such an association as la proposed Then, with the facts before us. does sot n daty devolve upon us? Should we not help tn a measure the prosperity of our couaty ...and town with the safe '.avestment of a little money? The appeal Is mostly to the business man, for the desirous home-builder will readily see his op portunity when the association is established. “A Greater Colleton" is the desire of all: then, let’s begin aright by the making of more homes through a Building and Loan Asso ciation. " THE CRITICAL MOMENT. This is truly the age of organiza tion. To be strong, business unites tbe bunch of reeds in order, as the old fable reads, that they may not be broken. Combination and unity are the propelling powers of all busi ness. With the above before us as our premises, let’s discontinue generalis ation and apply. What haa Walter boro and Colleton to offer the world? Have you ever thought of what the world wants which may be found in Colleton? Haa any organised move been made upon the part of the county and town to place the re sources of each before tue open eyes of tbe nation? In the north, almost every village and hamlet have Strong boosting or ganisations. Many of the Southern towns sre beginning to realise that the early bird really secures the worm, or that to secure any commer- cisl sdvsntages the people wsntlng them must be in the Aeld early and ask for what they want. This css be esslly illustrated by the mammoth parade held last week In Columbia during the Corn Exposition when many towns even smaller than Wal- terhoro, besides a Supply of advertis ing matter which was placed In the hands of people from the East, North. West and South, had beauti ful Aosta Illustrating tneir particul ar points of value. But what has Colleton to offer? First, without much organization, n r.a-i’TSl growth in industry In c try viich is really phenomenal. En terprises have sprung up fast :.nd thick, and in industry Colleton is well to the front already. Second, Colleton offers to the world, lands which In fertility are unsurpassed, and which will grow most any crop. The prices which prevail In Colleton are lower, probably, In proportion to fertility and adaptability than any other lands on the market today. With a climate suited for most ev ery crop, with soil adapted for any planting, either trucking or general farming, Colleton needs only to place her advantages where they may become known. Our enterprises are becoming more and more differentiated. The latest movements are fore an Icc and light ing plant and a building and loan association while new oanks ard op ening up throughout tne county. But while industry thrives, why not be gin a movement to secure new citi- xens to further the success of these enterprises? Then, are not our premises (rue? Are not organization, and unity nec essary? is not the solution of the whole matter ’Boosting." boosting ail the time, remembering that na ture has well supplied us with the things to boost? hardly the systam is raa lav that eotda aad Rt saly aad vitality gat a foot* that' the la to balld "I teak Vlnol for a _ which had lasted two hsars, aad the coogh set oaly dtep> paarsd, hat It baUt ap my strtafth as vrelL" Tlnol Is so effleacloas fa Is becaasa It contains In a delicious eonesatrated form all tho modidaal curative elements of cod Itvsr oil, with tonic, blood-bnlldlns Iron added. ✓ Chronic conghs and colds yield to ▼inol because It builds op the weak ened. run-down system.
