The voice of ten men is more powerful than tho voice of one man; tne voice of a hundred, than u* ten. or a thous and than the hundreds . Community problems- must b** handled by the community. School*, roads, problems affdeting the- en tire community must be handled by the community working together. The welfare of a eommunity is derived from the welfare of the in dividuals in the community obtain ed by striking an average. The man who thinks because he has wealth or a competence when others around him are in want and are suf fering and esn take -life easy, ow ing nothing to his neighbors. is mistaken. He cannot be happy un less all around him are happy. Think you that when you ride in your handsome automobile or live in your, falattsl home with the envious glances of those who know not what having a ride or a home is, that your .enjoyment is complete? If the pleasure of your ride or the ^.joy of your home is unalloyed.-then you are not a well developed human being. Some slip has been made in 'be mechanism of ytiur manhood. Now. what we are coming to is a corallory of our former proposition. We do not mean to sa^ a man should not have a handsome automobile nor a palatial honie. These are prop-r and should' be indulged whenever possible. But having these things entails responsibilities ind duties. The man so fortunate owes a reciprocal duty to those not so fortunate, and here is where your organised public welfare work comes in. No matter what your inclination or desire, you cannot alone accomplish what you propos**. You must have aid and co-operation. Tbsre are community and welfac'’ problems too big for one man's ac- ‘•omoiishment no matter how big the man. He must have and the combined effoita or others who have been brought to think as he thinks. "No man liveth to himself alone”—is true. To get down to individual re sponsibility and duty what are YOU doing for the common good ' How ^uuch of. YOUK time and thought are YOU devoting to up- / building YOUR community—to > making life better and more worth while. Should you die tomgJn. would your grave be covered, when your dust returns to mother earth, with flowers of gratitude from the gardens of service to others? Rob ert ingersol! said of his brother in that wonderfully eloquent tribute which he delivered over hla open grave. “If everyone • for whom he did a kindness were to brtag a sin gle blossom he would sleep tonight ’asath a garland of fl.omera.” ■ WOULD TOUT Methodist Church Rev.

Belton, June 28.—Editor The Press and Standard:—I received your paper thla morning and as usual. 1 laid down everything nn<k read it. The Press and SUndard is one of the best papers that co.nes to our office. It may be that I am partial to your paper, because I feel like it is from home hut laying aside the senitmental ideas. I believe that you get out the best weekly paper in the state. I am sorry though that you did not give our Belton boy, George Clement, a local this week. He says that he spent at least three days in the beautiful town of Walterboro and you -on account of the rush, I s ip- pose. did not mention the fact. George asked 1 me to save the paper this week for him and I will apolo gize for you will tell him that you had his wrile-up in type and did not haroom for^rim-—or it was side tracked on the galley—Morrow- goes to press in a ilfftT-. . I see with pleasure, that Waiter- boro will, in the near future, orga nize a Commercial Club. For good ness afc.ke call the club by another name. The Commercial Club by name is dead in Walterboro -I was a member of this defunct club and the name is dead—call your new club something else—Chamber •>? Comerce, the Board of Trade or anything else rather than the Com mercial Club. You have plenty of money. Three banks in the town and several in th« county and there i.s no reason why you shoilId not have a live band of members, who will work for Wallerboro’a interest. but call the rhtb something else rather than the Commercial Club. If Jack Smith joins, give him a job and he will work. If he is just a member, he may not puli, but if you put .lack in the lead he will certain ly, pull. Look at bis race for the legislature, you can't heal him. no matter who wants to—put him in your new organization and make him work—you have to vote for him anyway, so why not make him pull. Gas is ,a good thing these days, so says the Ford promoters— and I believe they are right. Jack is not dangerous, and when a man is not dangerous! he must be safe. Make old Jack pull. You. have several men who afe good pullers. Ed Lemacka. one of the best men in South Carolina, will make you a good member—he Is one. of the biggest Knights in the state and when you find a true Knight you can bet your bottom dollar on him. David Black is no slow colt. I know David—he is one of the truest men of the beantlful town of Wal terboro. I could mention at lea.it fifty men of your town who will lead, and pull too. and you want ’o got the best harness at A. Wich- man’s and fit your Chamber >f Commerce up in the .truest sens**. Count one. two. three and go to work for Walterboro and Colletoh County. You have the material and »!l fhat is necessary for Walterboro. is co-operation and your hoard of Commerce will be eeeond to none in the Stafe. The editor of The .Pres* and SUndard will puli, anywhere. He pulled for the Stale of Ken tucky as bard as he ever pulled for Colleton and South Carolina—he will deliver the goods. Get Rev. F. O. 8.

Editor of The Press and Stan dard:^—I saw an article in your paper in reference to the eradication of the rattle tick in the lower coun try, No doubt there may be enough to obatruct the stream of Edisto river, but 1.think it a feeble idea to think that tnepr can be* eradicated by dipping a few cattle when there are so many other animals that can not be dipped. This law is going to put the one-horse cattle raiser out of business so far as' raising for market Is concerned. He will not be able to go to the expense and trouble that' is rejuired. No doubt the men who have pastures can comply with the retuirements, but others cannot* Therefore, they are cut off. I would rather have what is being invested than to have the- proflt that will be derived. So much for this. I hav?*, been hearing lots of talk about Hje Holi ness revival meetings, 1 happened to spend the night in hearing of one of these meetings lately, which I hope Will not happen again.
