This will be an important election, and pertfcnlarlj so at Ibis time. The town is jnst potting off her swaddling clothes, and getting ready to step oat In a class of larger towns, end af this critical 'time la her life, as in the life of an indi- ridoal. she needs careful and pains taking guidance. The men who are to manage her affairs must be men Of progresslye ideas, ^nd men ol known prudence and ability. While the expenditures for running the af fairs of th<> town are larger now than they were, the strictest economy m*t be maintained or else th* town will saddle upon her bark a heavy which will hinder program. As the county seat of a large and developing county the new city ad ministration must be able to cement town and country, and maintain that feeling of oneness sd essential to the -success of the business life of the community. In -otjier words, the new council as a whole must be men who will make sacrifices^of their time and ttfouftht in order to create and maintain a friendly relation be tween those who do basin ess In the town and those who make possible the doing of business here, do far as possible the imaginary line be tween town and country must be eliminated and the . people of the whole county madc^to feel a pride in their county scat—^he capitol of their county. Then, in the way of permanent Improvements, such as paved aide- walks and streets, there shonld be a start. Instead of continuing to put down wooden curbs, and dift side walks. some permaent curb atones and paving Should be done, if only a little each year. Once start*-1 this kind of work will increan- rapidly. Waiterboro needs some siwaH manufacturing enterprises. . uctr as broom factories. brJc'*^ ru-.ds. spoke and handle factories, aii of wt>l«h might be made here cheaply sno furnish a market for a.number of products in the county now going to waste, thus putting in*o -Mr* uUt«oo money from the sale b> 'he people of the county of these products, mi also from the weekly pay rolls of these small concerns. The bringing of some of these plants to Walter- boro can he fostered by a progress ive city administration.* The above ere only n few of the things to be considered by the vot ers in selecting the men who are to guide the town in her larger growth. We trust that the dtlsens of the town who really desire to see a growth in keeping with our oppor tunities will aee to It that the right kind of- men offer for the positions which give them the right to de termine the policy of -the town, and „ to direct her growth. It is too im portant a matter to allow fa go by default. Fanning. Without iNttawh. There seem* to be much unrest sad apxlety among farmers as to the outlook for making a crop ^without potash." This is n hopeful xigo. for among other things it shows that at last farmers are waking up to . the ingredients of the Muff they have been buying in hags and nainff "to make crops with." It has been only a short while that many ..farmers have been using commercial fert*- llsora In a haphazard way olmplv because It was fashionable to use it. and without-knowing or raring what the analysis of*the stuff tiraa._ The higher the name sounded, and the more It co*t the better the fenter was pleased. Rut that sort of thing la getting old fashioned in Colleton sfeantyt. and the farmers now are ■todying the ingredients of the ferti- sere they, buy. nod are Inquiring sd learning what hinds they shonld use,on their farina to produee crops of eora and cotton. They hove about learned that perhaps the same ferti liser good for corn will not prove'ao good for cotton, and that tho ferti liser nsed for cotton will not do. for pindars. or for potatoes. Bat what we started out to say was that the farmers will find that they can make a pretty good crop without potash. - although tho soils la this section of the State a:*« weak est la jlrie plant nsw—By: There to just aa much potash now an there ever , Wheg the earth was com pleted and the Maker rested on the seventh day. . all the potash was made. Rince that time none hag been addel to the crust of the earth, and It has only been in recent years that any of it has been transferred from one part of the earth's surface to another. Previous to that time *re managed to make out pretty well, and we can do so again. . This does not mean, however, that we should not add any fertilising ingredients to the soil. Some of our soils have been robbed year after year of the plant foods, and to theee some fertillging material must be osed. This can be applied In the shape of cotton seed meal, acid phosphate, trash, stable manure, muck, strew, leaves, etc..-etc. The growing of legumes to take from the atmosphere, the unmeasured source of nitrogen, that which was most costly fertilixer Ingredient, has not been systematically followed In thi* section as 4t should have been, and until our farmers learn -to do this, they, will have to supply this in the shape of eottdn seed meal, or other high grade fertilixer. The use of the potash is in helping to produce the fruit, that it. the boll in efttton and the ear in corn. But. give to the plant a healthy growth and it will go after the potash needed to make a . good Vield. This is on the same principle that a sSrong. healthy and intelligent young man. when left to hia own resources will manage to make a living'for himself, and raise a family. So we would , urge the - farmers who read this newspaper to-get busy and apply to the soil those ingred ients which will make their groplhg crops have a healthy stalk, and when it cornea time to put on the fruit the yfeld will not be ha dUappointing>-as many of them now seem to think will be the case. We are a far away from the point where we shall make a poor yield. Burn nothing that will decay If turned under.’plant good seed, and trust to Providence. Do your part and Nature will do hers. Community CIiiHm. The possibility of service to their communities by community ‘idubs are manifold. It is. therefore, with spe cial interest and pleasurable pride that we note the organisation of t few in dlffnrent sections of the coun ty. There is no limit to the things they can accomplish, and the good they can be to the community. The meeting together once every fort night, or every month. If nothing were, dtocusaed, would pay hand- eomeiy. But .when discussing ques tions of an educational-value, apd Industrial importance as ia being done in thla county by thr clubs al ready organised, there can be no es timate placed upon the real value theoe clubs may W. The Press and fttaadard desires unqualifiedly to en- iome this kind of thing, and to urge every community in the county to organise a community club. Pleas* take time to read th* PM? Mrertisement of the United Bargain Hous'in thla Issue. It will pay you. ****** *,* ******** * MARRIAGES % * ****** ** ******** Breland-<Jlven». Ruffin.
