“THAT THING.*
Indeed, an Intereetlns title, no
doubt, to the reader of thl» /who
has been fullty of the charges which
it will make, for it will make charges,
aecuaatldns based on a wide degree
of fact;
First; we must ask for a few detnl*
tloas. i What is a "dish-rag?"
What it a "sheet?” What Is "that
thins?'* What Is "that-
thing?" And many other such
terms could be proposed for defini
tion. ^We are generally Informed
here that the above terms have been
applied to our publication. But is
there a county paper in the entire
untvferse which escapes such flatter
ing names as these? Is it. not the
favorite custom of many, when they
have fome Imaginative ground for
being sore at either the Editor or
the policy of the pfiper. to apply
such flattering titles as* the above at
that which attempt to fill the journal
istic field In the rural counties? Wc
repeat, ,ts it not a great enjoyment
for many to roast noundly the agency
which works for the upbuildment of
the county? Also, do you not agree
with us that most oftbese titles, sml
especially the one "that thing"
originate^ from the failurt on the
part of the paper to do those things
of person’s! benefit to the UL.er of
such names?
But after ail. are such title 3 ap
propriate? The County Paper ts
the first to announce the arrival of
the young angel In the home; to
herald the doings of the youth at
school; to wish many years of hap-
pincos to the young bride and groom;
to proclaim the wonderful success of
the leading citizens; and to say the
last words of commendation when
death has sealed the lips of all; and
with of ,thi fl rlose relation to the'r
clientele, county papers are expected
to elaborate on the remarkable
aweetnam of that ankel; to add to
the laurels of the school child by pro
bably publishing a letter from It; to
Increase the bbeauty of the gride, the
the worth of the groom, and the
popularity of both by a' few high
sounding words, to enlarge upon the
progresslvenesa of the-leading rttl-
zens; and to throw the veil of charity
when death comes.
Over all bad acts, bringing out only
the good. Thus, th* relstionship
of the county paper with it* suppor
ters is indeed doss, but yet in* the
minds Of .some the paper is "that
things." s "dish-rag,” a "sheet, and
"that—— thing. Oh. human
frailty.
streets must come first, for even the
hamlet of 300 has good roadways,
and the county governments ar« able
to- maintain roads over their entire
areae. We repeat that any place,
however small, can have streets.
Then, with the size of Walterboro
and her vast resources should . not
she have good streets at least?
There are few towns of our size
la the South that has no lighting
system. „ It is ons of the marks cf
progress and a-characteristic of an
energetic, prosperous people. Bat
Walterboro with its progress and its
prosperous citizens has no such pub
lic utility. The writer of this is .in
formed by an officer of the Company
which now holds the lighting*’ fran
chise of the town that this company
is now ready to surrender their fran
chise to the town, provided the
-town will install an electric lighting
plant. ‘ And such a proposition can
be easily put through by a bond issue.
Other towns have done it; why not
Walterboro?
And then. w« are nearly ready for
an extension of our waterworks sys
tem and the installation of a sew
erage plant. Of course, this would
b« quite an ambitious scheme at this
time, and some may rig'&tly think
that this can wait. But whether
we are ready for such at this time.
It Is certainly an ideal to be worked
to aM-abjould receive careful thought
Thus with s comparatively large
town and that town with no lighting
plant. Inadequate streets and side
walks, and sewerage an attainable
ideal, Urould the most conservative
cltlsen deny that this is a municipal
crisis, one which will tend to hamper
or help our future growth as a town**
But what then Is the solution sad by
what remedy can the crisis be mads
to bslp rather than hamper? First
of all, he cl Use ns of the town should
demand that f every candidate for
municipal oRfe state in no uncertain
terme hie poeiUon on these impor
tant queeUep. Thus with full
knowledge or tne position taken by
o*ch. If these.positions do not ac
cord wifh the views of the citixens.
other candidstes - advocating those
t’uinga which the" town desir:s should
be brought forward. Would it not
be wise to secure candidates w ho are
pledged to street improvment and
the installation of an electric lighting
plant, and to investigate the practi
cability of sewerage? The matter
rests with the voter 8 of the . town
it is "up to (hem," and to them alone;
what will ge done about it?

For The Spring Season
WE HAVE IN STOCK, BRAND NEW, A FI LL LINE OF JUST WHAT YOU NEED
IN THE HARDWARE LINE at THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
Oil Stoves
\
The cool nights and mornings do not require a large fire, but some heat is necessary
You can get just what you want from a Revonoc oil stove, and the cost of fuel will be
very small. -
For the summer cooking there is nothing more satisfactory both from the stand
point of results and cheapness of fuel than a kerosene oil cook stove. They bake, boil or
fry without heat to the cook. We have them at all prices.
Paints
Your Spring House Cleaning will be incomplete without the use of paints and varn
ishes. Your furniture needs renewing for the summer months, and even the home would
be much improved in looks by a coat of paint. For this purpose, we carry the Leland
Moore and Low Brothers lines of paints, both unequalled in the paint world.
Crockery Ware
Your table this spring will probably demand a few new dishes, and we have for
selection a full line of crockery and china ware. The prices on thc-sd are very reasonable ill. I'
the grade of goods the best. VHBMMPMr ^ ^
We have a full line of everything you need in hardware, and it will pay you to vve
us a call.before buying.
