ATTENTION!. * 1 lii i* l r Vo The Press and Standard wishes to Carry as full a report as possible next Wednesday, showing the results of the prohibition election. To that end we wish every manager at ev ery poll would see to it that vie get the returns from his poll early Tues day after the polls close, or Wednes day morning before we go to press. Send, telephone, telegraph at pr*»?A rates, or mail us please the vote at your poll. ANOTHER VIEWPOINT -P ' * The editor of The Prees ami Standard recently looked over a few copied,of The Colleton Press publish ed in 1881, and among the tten«s of greatest Interest were the advertise ment* of those In professional or business life, and we were impress tjH by the fact thpt here only eould be found u record of the people of qat time. Tradition might keep dive 'the names of a few .but the many are forgotten. Fifty years from now the writer of history for this county will eagerly scaji Ibp columns of the files of The Press Standard to see who are now the Men of Mark" in this county. In a business way. what names are be ing handed down to posterity? What professional men will b? known to the searcher for historical fact? The answer is plain, and one which should furnish some food for thought "Those Who Advertise/' \ t_ ,• r OI K EAST WORD . > — —**r MV Voter: What will Influence your vote next Tuesday? Are you a church member?Sup pose the Master were a qualified voter in Colleton county, how, think you. would lie vote next Tuesday Is your mother looking down on you from the ' spirit-land? How would she have you vote next Tuea day? The dispensary Is making s drunkard of somebody’s boy.» Sup pose that boy were your boy. how would you vote next Tuesday? IT IM I P TO THE VOTER NOW (This is the last Issue of The Press and Standard before the elec tion on the prohibition rfeerendutn. In less than one week from today the decision wili.be made aa' to whether or not South Carolina will he entirely prohibition or. only par tially so. This is a nutter of more ronaequenee to the people of the State than appears on Us face—in . Ale 0 fact la la the moat import an i' ques tion the electors of this State will tyve to aettle In .many years. It ia of more Importance than who shall be 1 governor of the stete, or sheriff »he county. Yet were the ^election >n th*, selection of a governor or a iheriff, there would be no doubt as to the size of the vote. Will not the luaUfied electors of Colleton county lave as great Interest in this hHitter ind cast a full vote on this most im portant matter? Make, It a record breaking election for .this county, md let J*»ur\vote bq cast according to the.dictates of an enlightened conscience. ‘ The Press and Standard is un equivocally FOB prohibition. This ^aper has tried to present arguments A-hlch would appeal to reason. . It bas not written one word denuntla- ■j tory of any person—It has tried not o make any wounds to be healed, ■.nd we have not heard of a single Hsgruntled person as a result of lur campaign. W> have been censured by a few prohibitionists for selling a page of our advertising space to the Local Option League of South Carolina, but of those offering censure we do not know one who has done any thing at all for the cause* of pro- libitlon. They may vote for it but that said, all said. Many prohibi tionists have told us they have th< same view .of It we expressed—that is, that fairness’ to the other ride • » *v demanded that we should allow them to be heard. We do not be lieve a people should bo led to sup port any question by hearing only one side of It. and while we have not tried to secure argument againr; prohibition had argument been of fered we should have felt constrain ed by a sense of justice to have glv en space to it.' and when asked to run it for pay "W certainly would not refuse. That this county will give a largt? majority for State-wide prohibition is nowhere. questioned. The only matter of conjecture is. as to the size of this majority But this fact should not prevent a single voter going to the polls and galling his ballot in favor of^b-ohlhition.' .Then, after the state goes dry, le: not the prohibitionist feel that his work has been done. l f wt him preach and teacti^ temperance, and stand boldly for enforcement of the law, and see to it that law-enforcing men are elected to office from gov ernor on down. PLAY GIVEN AT SMOAKS % • Large and Appreciative Crowd At tend^ Presentation of “The Paduk Special" » Bmoaks, September 7.-—On last Friday night ct "the Stnoaks llaif a play entitled "The Paduk Special” was given by the school Im provement association of this plac**. The comedy was especially good, and wag praised highly by the lar^' qnd appreciative audience that at tended. The many jokes, and funnv sayings were well received and caus ed a continuation of merriment and laughter throughout the entire per formance. There were about twen- ly-flve players, and each would well deservt- special mention, were It not for the lack of newspaper space^ ' The public Was highly gratified to learn that the officers of the association had planned to give the play at other towns. They plan to take in Branchville, Ehrhardt, Colleton, Ruffin and WaBerboro. The people of these towns will doubt less be glad to have a chance >o enjoy this excellent comedy.

He was smiling and happy, but no happier than he was wen forty years ago when he walked five miles to ehuren every Sunday, and when he plowed all day In the week, and then walkel nine miles to the postofflce, at nigM. to get a letter from his best siii which never came. But that is not what \ve started out to say. 'The Colonel has been on a trip ut> north. He has been smoking L'ne ci gars and swapping jo’tes with drum mers. getting shaved and, a' bath twice every day/eating victuals at the swell hotels, and washing hit fingers in a finger bowl. But b ' has been seeing all the latest styles in the big markets, the newewt goodi and buying them at,low prices. •And that wasn’t "no pistol* nor no bottle of llcker" l\e had in hh hip-pocket neither. It was only list of the many bargain in dr. goods, notions, shims, millinery, for he has recently added a mlllipery es tablishment to his already larg*> business. And boys, a milliner will arrive tomorrow or next day, but boys don’t wear these kind of hats any w ay. so what’s the use. These new goods will bo in stock In a fe-v days and the list that he had in hi-* pocket, which bulge-dout like a big butter ball, is tjio llsf that he is go ing to publish in this paper from time to time.
