which caused a lowering of hia moral
charietar*tn anch a degree as te
bring him to the commission of a
crime which stirs society to Us foun-
dation. .This la only one instance et
the terrible havoc being wrought by
the demon drink. It may be an ex^
trenao instance, it la true, but- U Is
nevertbsless typical of the mighty*
power for evil that liquor possesses
and with which it Is attacking the
foundations of society. It has wreck
ed wo or perhaps more Uvea la this
•no instance, ruined a home and
placed a stain upon a cemmunty that
years cannot remove. -
In view of these facts we would
ask. where Is the advantage of toler
ating this evil? Some will say, “Let
men drink, they will do it anyway.*’
We would ask whether or not we
have any right to sit thus convers
ing with ourselves while this evil is
umlermlnlng the foundation of our
commonwealth?- Let every man in
South Carolina rise jJu> strngth
of his manhood and exert nts influ
ence for the eliminatioli of this great
evil. Let every one who is only a so-
called moderate driaaer beware lest
he be tripped in the terrible snare
and his Ufe wrecked. Let him not
declare himself with me thought
that hs can stop when he desires.
Thompson did not start out to end
where be is now, neither does any
other man who falls a- victim to liq

stop when they desire. The great
trouble is that its influence is so sub
tle and their desire so weakened that
they suddenly find themselves bound

We wish to say for the "benefit of
our readers that Mr.-W. Smoak
is In Anderson, S. C.. ami all person
al communleations to him should be
addressed to him at that plaee. Any
thing intended for the Press and
Standard should addressed Wai
terboro. It seems to be the general
impression that Mr. Smoak has re
turned to Waiterboro, but as was
slated in a previous issue he has sim
ply again purchased the paper and
placed it under the management of
the present editor while he still r*
tains his position with the Anderson
Hally Intelligencer. We will appre
ciate the same support that would
be glve n Mr. Smoak were he here in
person, and will enaeavor to nerve
the people as he hltr.fieK would.
A WARNING.
it seems that quite a number of
boys have the habit or swinging on
and off tile trains as they come In
and go out of town. .Several have
come near getting hurt. This, it
seems, is a dangerous and annoyin;;
practice. It is uncalled for and
should'be stopped Not for the ben
efit of the railroad or its officials, al
together. but for the safety of soup*
bright boy of this place. If this
practice continues sooner oj- later
some boy wll be badly hurt or per
haps killed.
.N 0 one can stop the* as well as
the parents of the boys who are qi
the hpbit of doing rnts. Perhaps
they »to not kjro* it is going on* but
it would bn wise for every parent to
ee if thyfr boys are not among the
^r>t. Jx>ok into this now and do not
^ air until your "boy has reaped ii!o
ybi.sequence of his r.. k.
What does IS D.” flunk of th"
new primary rules?
‘A. I*. 8.” might mean "at present
silent,” but does it?
"One vote and only one”- -was the
slogan of the recent state convention.
If enforced by the county executive
committee that end will be accom
plished.
fturely the trenchant pen of Rev.
J. C. Lawson need not remain silent
for so long, and we’U wager John C.
Goodwin can write something which
could be read.
We started, to sey something about
the Civic League and what It might
do for electric lights in Waiterboro
and paved sidewalks, but we shall
desist till we learn their plans.
What South Carolina Democrat*
need in their primary is ihe Augfra-
Itan ballot system. It will come
sooner or later, and t:ie septner the
better. Z'

"In calling on tue for an address,
your county superintendent evidently
shares the popular opinion that a
preacher can speak at any time and
on pny subject, whenever called up
on. It is related that a'clergyman
from the country once served as a
temporay supply for a city church of
ritualistic tendency. Among/ other
things was a boy choir robed in their
white clobthes. This especially at
tracted the attention of the minis
ter’s little son who accompanied his
father on one of these visits. On his
return home the littto fellow asked
his mother;“'Did those boys In their
nighties gef^sld for th^ir singing?’’
"Yes,” said the mother. “I suppose
they do.” "Rid father get anything
for preaching?’’ asked the boy.
"Ye#.’ Replied the mother. "They
paid hfm, too.” "Well.” said the
Ilttlp fellow, "it is all right to pay
tb* boys, hut father should not get
cent, because we all know how
father loves to talk."
I do love to speak, and yet I am
painfully aware that I am no orator
like Brutus. And could I loose the
bands that hold this stammcr'ng
tongue and speak to you this morn
ing as I would like to speak speak
to you as angels speak—then I would
be sure that I had not Wasted tbe
time which has been allotted to me.
I do not feel like a stranger in this
presence. My grandfather was a
teacher My father devoted many of
his years to teaching, and was at one
time superintendent of education for
for his county. I was trained for a
teacher and at the age of eight 'en
was honored with a license to teach
in any active county in Virginia.
There and in Maryland 1 taught for
many years before pursuing a higher
study theology the science of God
