MARCH 5. 1913. a FOREWORD. 1 As an initial message to the readers of The Press and Stand- , ard, ii is not my desire to elab orate on what I propose to do as Editor nor to outline at length those principles for which I shall stand. I would much prefer for my readers to see results from time to time rather than to an nounce any fixed policy in ad vance. Suffice it to say that I believe in results rather than dreams, and with such a belief I propose to do my duty fully as each day presents it to me. I congratulate myself upon casting my lot in such a county as Colleton, and am delighted with the reception which I have received. Truly that which Colleton lacks of being the great est county in the State is a few more years of development like that of the last decade. I de sire to enlist in the fight for a better and greater Colleton., and Mranb to assist the town of Wal- terboro In keeping pace with the county. To the faithful patrons of this paper through the long years of history, I mal^e the request that you v.'ill remain faithful; acd l prbmise to continue giving you the excellent paper which I find on taking charge of it. To ad vertisers and patrons of the job department, I promise the same efficient service which you have enjoyed in the past, and will strive 4o improve in every way. To all, i promise a “square deal” and only ask for the same my self. I have heard since my arrival at Walterboro that the town aftd county have factions. If such be true, I shall not attempt to learn the personnel of the differ ent factions. I enter this busi ness wearing the yoke of no man nor set of men, and all i pro- K pose to give the different fac tions .'s honest rnd fa ; r dealing alike with all factions. Pray , make my join) easy in its pv<- fonv.ni'.w and re.'ram hom aligning me with any faction. Thus, I enter upon my new duties as Editor of The Press . and Standard without fear or misgivings, and hope that in the [ years to come I*may receive your plaudits, and rest with the tense of duty well performed. More than six yean ago, W. W. Smoak became Editor of The Preaa aad Standard. During that period, be hae made kia impresaion. not only on the buslnees to which he came, bat upon the entire County of Colleton^ Faithful in the discharge of every duty, devoted to the eauee of right, and imbued with a spirit of progress, Mr. Smoak has indeed wrought well for the county and town, and for The Press and Stan dard. In leaving the fields of his labors for so long, he will carry with him plaudita from all, both friend and foe. ‘‘The writer of this' article, while he has not been intimately as sociated with Mr. Smoak, haa seen enough of him to appreciate his worth, and to know that he has al ways done what he thought was right, regardless of the consequences. Mr. Smoak bears the reputation of honesty of purpose. He haa never been a conce'aled foe to any man. >ut has always shown his hand when he thought,the occasion was ripe t,o to do. A man was heard to remark the other day that Mr. Smoak would do a favor for foe as well as friend. This, to us, shows the man, and, while he may have made some ene mies all admit that he did what he thought was right. Colleton and Walterboro owe much to the deyotedness of him whom we succeed. Ever desiring to improve, he has lead th many fights for the progress of the people among whom he worked. Llis real worth to the town and county will be fait after he ia gone, and there is no one who will refuse to say that hia work haa borne fruit. He. carries with him to that, dis tant State oF Kentucky; the best wishes of all. May the sun of sue- as ever shine about him, and may he reach the realm of his heart’s de sire. M urMtfe bo freight will bo csr- rtod. For several dkys, the morning train bos boon late, throwing the malt stUI. inter, nag inconveniencing the traveling public gedbrnlly. Also, It does seem that Ibis lino should have at,least one direct connection towards the South daily from Omen Pond.. Persons desiring to go to Savannah now have only one connec tion during the entire day, an dthat after a two hours’ wait at Green Pond, and those desiring to go South of Savannah, have, in addition to the two hours at Green Pon<L an all night watt in Savannah. In suggesting remedies, we must consider the different views of nil tbs people. But two small changes in the present service, Changes which would not injure the railroad, could be made. The first of these would necessarily involve the giving of one exclusive passenger train to this line, and the running of it on time. Another change, thoroughly feasible in every respect, would be to make connection with train No. 83 at Green Pond for the South. This would make the afternoon train leave Walterboro only about SO minutes earlier and would give a through train to the SoutfT In addition to the connections for Savannah and points below, this change would give a con nection to Columbia at 6 p. m., jo Xugiiste at about the same time, and to Charlotte by 10 p. n. As it is now. none of there points can be made in much l^-ss than a day. Many other suggestions <ould be made, but we believe the two above would materially help things. It is to be hoped that this move ment will result In better schedules and the improvement of the trains on the line. It is a matter in whhh ev ery citizen of the county is interest ed, and the leaders in it should re ceive the hearty co-operation of everyone. not deter him from doing kia duty. Walterboro will miss Mr. Smoak. —Greenville Daily Piedmont.

The visitors to the office of 1 he Press and Standard will uo*o on’y one change in the force, and that, the Editor. The present force h.-uc consented to remain with the paper under Its new management. Thus, we will be in position to give the public the same service that has been given in the past, and, wherever pos sible, this service will be Improved. The piesent force are all capable, and we sincerely trust that the change in the management will be perfected without loss to our pat- r f nB - ; . - . , : * <3, KUHNCKIPTIOXS. - Editor \V. W.

If ever a town was long suffering In the matter of better railroad factl- itie*. that tp^jn is Walterboro. Hav ing been bottled up by the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for years, its growth has'been in gphe of the rail road rather than with the assistance of it. On another page, we carry a brief account of a movement to better con ditions in the passenger service of the town and the entire railroad from Green Pond to Ehrhardt, and we wish to commend Mr. Wlchman’s ef- forts along this , line.

The regret will be felt ull over the state but most especially in Walterboro and Cejlle 7 toa county for Walterboro "and Col leton will feel his abeence from the rarer the most keenly. Mr. Smoak ha^heen a fearless editor This doe? not mean that he has attacked any and everybody and nnr" and every thing merely for the purpore of show ing that he was unafraid. This is not the ease. Put he has proven himself a fearless editor by not hesi- tat'ng to attack most vigorously all law lessnoss and all agents of lawless ness. He hn? fought hard against '•Korrect officials pr.d against incor rupt measures. His most recent fight has been ag.ilnst lawlessness • in Walterboro and Colleton county and we are han- py to say that it has not been in vain. Numbers of blind tigers in the town of Walterboro have been made to feel the lash ' of the law because of his activitler. He made an attack upon officials of the town Tory & Shaffer. SEE .
