I j-y Ji4 4,’ . if Two Citadd Judges. The Citadel has furnished many men to public life, and In every walk of life now there:are many Citadel men, and they are usually making good. Just now on the bench In South Carolina Judge Mendel L. Smith Is making his mark as a learned and able Jurist. He Is more quoted -and better known for his pronounced jind correct positions than almost any man In public life n the State today. ’ Fate tried to conceal him by naming him Smith,' and 'his political enemies, by makfcu him Judge, but he will be heard from again. Another Citadel tnan Is be ginning to exercise the duties of "a judgeship, and if we are nof much mistaken,- another Citadel man will be quoted and wllf make a mark for himself as Judge Peurlfoy goes about over the State, meeting and helping to decide questions of weal and woe to Indlvlluals and counties A High Stand. “A king once said of a prince struck down. ‘Taller he seems in death.’ V This may be safd today of Hon Oeorge Warren, of our neighboring county, Hampton. Refusing a judge- ship to which he was elected by his compeers who were In position to know him, because * it involved question of honor, and turning dow a position which older and maturer men covet ns one of *the highest honor, Mr. Warren set an example and established a name for himself which will be known and quoted for years. He is stronger today lr\ SoiiMi Carolina than he would have bc' > n as Judge, and his future is bright for high honors which his irfends will insist upon bestowing upon him, Showing as he has done In this un- sedflsh act. that he possesses a hign degree of honor. Oeorge Warren will he called up higher and that soon. Colleton la Justly proud of her son, whom we have loaned to a sister euunty. but who now belongs to South Carolina. Wallerboro's Future. Walterboro needs the thought and co-operation of every eitisen Just How to give her the position which she should have as ,a^result of -the stra tegic point she occupies. The larg est town between Charleston and Savannah, with the possible excep tion of Beaufdrt, and situated on a health ridge noted for' Its freedom from A°r of the diseases usually found In the low country, and with all modern improvements found in larger towns, there Is nothing whied can keep her from going forward at a most rapid paep except it be in difference and sel flab ness of her qwn people. There la Wallerboro’s great est danger, and It is one which can so easily-As overcome. Let tbe Rip vaflWinkles, who have been sleeping, awake and rub the scales from their eyes, and then get Into the light for advertising the great resources of tbe town and of the rolinty. Walterboro now has a population of 2,500, but by 1S20 she should have at least 5,000. By that time we shall have, one or more new rail roads, fcnd a system of good dirt roads unexcelled in the States mak ing the town accessible and thus improving it as a residential site. By that time the great agricultural re sources of tbe county will have be come known amiT’thousands of peo ple who are seeking new homes and fertile soil will be knocking for ad mission Into the county, and Wal- •erboro will profit , by the increase of 'ier population. The people of Walterboro nes»lv to boost the town, boost the , county, bbost the people, boost the sHiools. boost the people, boost the schools, and everybody, and break every ham mer except those used in building. i ^ .

The ques tion Is submitted to the people foi^ approval next month. ,A commis sion of eight Is to execute the pr**- visions of- the act. One of these is thc^fcounty supervisor, with a chair man. appointed by the governor, up on recommendation of the delega tion, and one member from each- of the six townships ‘ of the county, elected by the people.
