Oth er towns ere growing Into cities by using team work, why not Wa!ter- boro? Oo into a live community and you feel the enthusiasm which this team work generates. “Glad to see.you. This Is the beet town in the State. Hope you win come and lo cate with us; we-re go: the best town you ever saw, and there’s a mighty Dae opening here for you, or any basineas man.” Do Waiter boro busi ness men talk that way? Why do they not? Walterboro :s a good town and a growing iOwn t and has some mighty good folks in it, but they need to awake from their Rip Van Winkle sleep and get to doing things—public things we <*- One of the things hard to compre hend is why the people of the town will not attend a meeting such as that given Tuesday night at the Court House, when Supervisor Tate delivered a most instructive and entertaining lecture oa the school conditions in South Carolina. Sure ly the absence of nearly all of the local teachers, of eveiy memrvv of the local board of trustees of every member of town council, and of .*5 per cent, or more, of the patrons of the town cannot be traced to indif ference—yet they were ,absent- why? They would have seen enter tained, instructed and enthused. How can Walterboro lead education ally in Colleton County in tne face of such monumental indifVere'tce? How. IT CAN BE DONE. There Is much to be commeaded in the way Magistrate -Houston Towles, of Oreea Poad. has cleared up a tough jolat at that place, eepeclally as regards the Illicit able of liquor. Soon after he wai sworn In aa mag istrate he let It be known that the Oreea Poad blind tiger must go. add we are told te baa ’’went.” Magis trate Towles took right kold of the situation and many gallons of the stuff that bad been purchased for the thirsty, was poured into tho ditch. Not only has ..Magistrate Towles stopped the Illicit sale of liquor but he has broken up the pernicious habit of negroes who were accustom ed to loafing round the depot at Green Pond. Charges of vagrancy, under the vagrancy laws of the State, Nvere preferred upon the worst of fenders. and only a few days ago eight prisoners were - sent to the county chain gang to serve terms for this offense. It is said that the qual ity and quantity of laoor in this sec tion has been greatly improved and increased, and drunkenness is almost unknown. The Press and Standard h&tt con tended all along that the sheriff and the magiatmtes of tL^- county could stamp out (he illicit sale or liquor if (bey would do ttieir sworn duty a* officers of the law. The t. <omplinh- ment of Magistrate Towle# ih only confirmation of this assertion. If he could .clean up Green Pond there is not a sec tion of the county where the best of order cannot be Viriutaiued if the mayistmte wt‘.«. yet h'jry and simply do IiIk plain duty. It will take nerve and fearlessness, but surely the people of the county and town ships have elected men who have backbone, and who do not need ner vine as a tonic. We be lieve they will dean up the county, and we are awaiting news of the neat clelaning UP v r W P * % # ' WALTERBORO NEEDS BOOSTING. What is it that makes one man succeed and another fail? we have seen two men go into business to gether as partners and in a few years one amasses a conaiderable fortune and the other barely man ages to keep body and soul togeth er. What quality it it that brings success to the one and failure to the other? Two men open business in adjoining stores with equal capital. One forges ahead and success crowns his efforts; the other goes to the wall * Location or ravors did not make the one succeed and the other fail. Fh^n what was it? Two farmers, brothers, are given equal portions of the old homestead, and settle down to make homes. The one succeeds and gruws weil-to-do; the other gets behind and is counted a failure. Why is it? A young man goes into a commun ity penniless and soon gains a foot hold and prominence, while dozens of the "home boys” are marked fail ures. Why is this? There must be some reason. is It due to the lersoual magnetism"of the^ne and the lack of It by the others, and if so what is this personal magnetism? Is it some quality tha: can be culti vated? Is It due vto a stricter -tense of honor and honesty that some men succeed where orners fall? Per haps. Then why uot all men who are honorable and honest suc ceed. U it luck? Certain it Is that some men suc ceed and others fail under almost identical circumstances. Tben it would seem to be a proper course (or the youtb to pick some examples of ssccessful men and study their carreers Make It a business to flni ont why tkoy have succeeded and why their companions have failed IKSUK TUMBI , i Who «rs "Just Ready to Drop."

Miss Lag Dumas writes from Me lons, N. Y., saying: “I was Ih a badly run-down condition for.ssvpral weeks, but two bottles of Vinol pat ms on my fast again and mads ms stroog and wall. Ylnol has done mo mors good than all tha other medicine 1 over took.” If tho careworn, haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and feeble old folks around bars would follow Miss Dumas’ example, they, too, would soon be able to say that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and Iron remedy, had built them up and made them strong. — It Is a wonderfully strengthening and Invigorating body-builder, and wo sell it under an Ironclad guarantee of satisfaction.

For instance one man is breaking bis land with a two-horse plow, going as deep as he tan. and turning under every bit of vegetation on tne land. An other has picked up every piece of corn stalk and is turning his land two or three inches deep with one horse. One farmer breaks all his land broadcast; anotber follows the old rows going only «wo or three times to the row, leaving half the land unbroken. Seldom do we see the same method employed by any two farmers though they be brothers plowing adjoining fields. r A little later the same variety of ways of planting will be observed. One man will plant lua corn in drill, another in chetk*. one will have an rows five feet apar;; another t.ix jr four One v.ill plant below the '.evil; tV,e other on h ridge, and do. Surely in all these things one :v is b:st and right, with excep tion* as tj varied soil and elevation }f lied:'. Why then w ’.! net farm 's decide wkuh way .s brst and follow that plan? Sui pose it is different from th t v. vy ”po planted corn or cotton”, if the better ie- sulta follow a new method, then use the now method.
