"Walterboro is going ‘wet,’ ” said one. “It Is a sign there will be a long “reign of prohibition,” sang out Postmaster Murray. . . DR. BLACK HAPPY. Dr. ftlack is among those most de lighted over the victory fojj prohi- btllon. Ho has been working ar.u talking for months to help bring about this result.t *»■ OCR THANKS. “Tho"Press and Standard desires t>) thank all those who helped got the election returns in so promptly yes terday afternoon. Considering the facilities the results were fine. ONLY SIX IN TOWN- • i ■■ ■ One who knows states that in Walterboro only six Honor votes were c , ast by residents of the incor porate limits of the town. While 17 votes were for liquor, 11 of these were by men living outside of the town limits. The people of Walter, boro have real prohibition and they like it. , ; ^ THEY COVLD NOT YOTE Some real regrets were seen yes terday, when a number of prohibl- 'dionists could not vote because they could not find their registration certifhoitcs. and these men live in tin shadow of the Court House. Sup^ pose prohibition had lost by on!, few votes!. i x, * ■/ AT LAST PKOlltlllTIOV (By an overwhelming majority ^! leton county^ and the State wonts “dry” in the election yesterday. South Carolina will now be number ed as the nineteenth ‘prohibition State. In this victory CoHetne county did her pari nobly. By a vote of almost 4 id 1 this countv went for prohibition. While the vote wa not so large as might hav. been, the percentage of thos?., favor ing prohibition is perhaps represen tative of the statement in theVouaty for it stands to reason tkat one dot partisan enough to vote is not strong ly in favor of either side. It is a great victory 'and Sourn Carolina should indeed rejoice. r> ,At last the people will get what thei' Ion* have songht. and ail sections of this state will have, one law. It Is fine and a great step forward bn a great moral Issue.. But in this hour of rejoicing one must not forget the consequent duties of law enforcement. In order to secure real prohibition, the tlleg;., sale of liquor must be kept down, We' bellovb this will be done. There ate only a few men who will endesf'vor to violate the law and il legally sell liquor, and these must be restrained at all hazards. Th« sen timent fa here for prohibition, and prohibbltlonists must have the cour age of their convictiop—they must . . . V ^ C hunt down and destry all Violator*. Colleton county. The Press and Standard congratu lates the State on Us great victory^ and esepeclally do we congratulate Colleon couny. WILL THEY PLAXY.jWHEAT? - A meeting wil be held Saturday afternoon at Stoked- for ti»e p-.irpo** df getting the farmets of the.t sec tion to state how much wneat they intend to plant this fail. If they will plant enough W. C. Saunders v. ill put In a roller mill ar.d win manufacture the crop jof this a n, l other sections this year. .The fact Colleton county , can produce wheat has ben ,-hown nbundanfiy tills year, and the result of larger acreage and larger experience will demonstrate yet more that 'he soil of this county can poduce wheat. The farmer of the coming day will diversify, and grow more crops than one. He wUl plapt those crop# which can 1m* grown prqtltably and make returns in those things which have now to be bought. The farmer this year who has made enough wheat to supply flour, for the fami!/ during the next year is indeed for tunate. With a short cotton crep. and that at perhaps a low price, the farmer who can live without buying anything to eat Is better off than the cotton farmer who has to buy everything. The Press and Stand ard would urge the farmers over the county to plant wheat fcnd cover crops this fall. What the Stokes farmers are go. tng to do can not the Walterboro farmer do? If enough farmers plant wheat we frel sure that some of tjie milling eoncerna at Walterboro will add a roller n-JJ! and. be prepared next spring to manufacture the wEefct croflfk What a splendid open- lBg*“!Usre fit county-wide co-opera tion! If only the people of the coun- y had eucb an organization gs/w 011 * 41 enable the central management of It to assemble these facts at one*, what a porter for good that would be. Such an organization must come. It tVtll come. The Colleton County Co-operative assoeiktion is here for such work, It only needs membera. WALTKRROHO MIST WAKE IP. The Press and Standard wants-to boost for Walterboro. This news paper wishes to help do everythin* It po«sibly can to keep thlrgood lit tle city In the forefront of progress and add to its, popularity In the county and among Other countlmi/ This *we’ are trying to do, but there Is one thing which must be 'done before, individual bnostinfj/cnn ac complish anything for Walterboro, rir for any communltyyfor that mat ter. Walterboro must show a reci procal spirit. She must arouse her self and shake olf her indifference and her reserve. Walterboro can not afford to draw around herself a cloak'of self righteousness, and “lioller than thou” attitude and ^ain the good graces of other ntfeces, and those who would contribute ** her success gnd prosepr; .Walterboro people are too reserv ed—too , selfish. They are too sat isfied wlfh themselves and J their glorious pa$K If they feHvthat they can stand aloof from other contmn. nttlea And have nothing to do fcRh them, and that these other romme- 'rifties must eontinue to bow to them In reverence and pour into her la* thetr golden homage, they are very nuwh mistaken. Time was unen this might have gone well, but that time has passed, and the town must stand forth noV and present a glad ►hand to those who may bg induced to respond. This is, the modern method of building cities. Shall Walterboro not grow n* other towns are growing?

To show them that Walterboro is in sympa thetic touch with the coontv at large? The business men of Walterbofh may feel that this Is a matter of no consequence, but The Press acl Standard states, *Jth a knowledge “T* ot what it takes to build cities, tha no. town will grow* with Its* peop!.* holding such ideas. It Is worth while to extend a cordial greeting to a sister tomnaunitr. and cement the ties that bind the county seat to the rest of the county. It win pay. *************** * * • B. K. A W.
