The following article, written by The State’s local correspondent, ap peared in the anniversary issue of that paper Friday: Walterboro. Feb. f7.r—Walterboro and Colleton county, one of the very earliest towns and counties of the State, with its early high standard of civilization, has always occupied on important place In the State’s history, furnishing to it governors and states man am) often leatiing in the shaping if Statewide sentiment. The^otinty still retains that UiteVest in public af- fairs - and in addition to many lesser officers has given the State within the last few years a governor. D. C. Hey ward. and a railroad commissioner. C. W. Gai*ris. The old ideals are atill strong in the county. During the last 25 years the coun ty has suffered by loss in area, and while still a large county, yet some of its choice territory has been ad ded to Charleston. In'agriculture the changes have teen many in number and revolu tionary in character. At the begin ning of this era this county was the seat of the,once famous Carolina rice industry and ^probably contributed a larger amount to the State yield than any other coupty. Its many low-cpuntry streams, "affected by the tides, finished the lyeans of irri gating vast areas of rice. During this period the industry has steadily declined until today only a very few- still cultivate this cereal. The" old rice fields have proved a problem for development, but by drainage it has already been demonstrated that they can he made into fertil 0 fields suitable for any crop. Their real utilfzation. however, .is a develop ment of the coming decade. Ituise.Much Cattle. Since the decline of the rice in dustry cattle raising has occupied the attention of many farmers, and this is today one of the greatest in dustries in the county f both from the* standpoint of numbers engaged in it and its production of revenue T n a few months now - the county will be free of the tick and this intfustry will probably thrive.as never before. Twenty-five years ago the county •was well supplied with an excellent growth of timber and the last quar ter century ha? witnessed the devel opment of many large timber enter prises for its utilization, among which may be named the Hjlton Dodge Lumber cc-nip, . y. operatin'-,- Th the tower nart of-Ai ’ coun'v, *h" Coihtoi) Mercantile and till ing ci t.ipany .ar.iftho WaU • boro l.umbtT oa’.pftnv operating i” f. '»• rr 1 belt, and .the iarre Colleton • rcso cpmpatty and Salkehatchie Lumber company, operating in Cm upper. part of the county. .Ml these companies hove larce ar.iou-nts if capital invested In them, and in jcdditibn to these there have be. n Operating many smaller mills. Of .*»irse. these mills have made va-t inroads upon the wealth of the for ests. but the supply is still sufficient to keep thhm running for several years, while a young growth of ‘-x-, cellent timber is following in the wake of the timbermen. l^argb areas of excellent lands are being opened up by the. lumber companies and vast numbers of acres of rut-over ^nds are now avaiiable-to the col onists of other sections., the attrac tions of which are being so forcefully • sented to them by the trunk lin»s of railroads which traverse this sec tlon. r ‘ ’ ‘ . Completion of Railway^ l^is period has witnessed the corns ptetlon of the Ehrhardt-Green Pond railroad, upon which branch.of the Atlantic Coast Line Walterbdrrt is lo cated. this road being Jater extended to Bamberg, at which point it con nects with the Southern, thus giving the county railroad'service in all di-» rections. At present large forces of hands are engaged In building the Seaboard railroad's Charleston to Savannah line thr*ugh the low >r •ortion of the county and a remark able development, such as now ex ists In the wonderful Yonges Island >nd Beaufort sections Is ^xpei ’- d for ’-e trucking Industry which is now in its infancy in the county. In schools the development hn« been great, and today In all of the smaller towns of the county exclient graded schools are running, while ♦he rural graded school exists in many country communities. Mag nificent buildings have in most cases replaced the school cabins of the oast, and in Walterboro truly one of the noteworthy achievements of the last quarter century has been in the erection of its handsonv l.’O.oqn building. This building Is now year ly oaid for, and It replaces a larg». awkward, unsightly and «}angerou« frame building, which was for many years known' locally as •"the acad emy.” Agriculture and the mercantile avocations ,have developed hand in, hand. Rfid as today th" verv best goods can be found dlsplayi-eKm- the windows of »he merchants ju«t so can be found the very best imple ments and up-to-date household goods on Ihe farmland in the home? of the planters. \V4th it all.^he pro gress in financial circles has-prob ably been the most wonderful. * quarter century ago there was one MR. IMHHI EXPLODES MYTH ' O Edtor Press and Standard: I have several -communications, from.friends in t’olleton. the purport of which is to disseminate what is clainied-to.be an ancient-prayer as follows: Dear Sir: ■ • The following prayer was sent we by Mr’ of—— S t .. with the ^quest-that I send U_ to -nine of my friends with the request that they send it to nice friend? within nine days. 1‘ am comply ing with the request and am sending it- to you as one of the nine-persons. An ancient prayer: ’’O Lord. I im plore Thee to bless aR mankind, bring us to Thee; keep us to dwell with thee.” TIPs prayer It to be sent all over the world. It was said in ancient days that all who wrote these words would he free from calamity and all who pass ed it would meet with some calamity or misfortune. Copy it and send it to nieve fi lends In nine days and. ofi the Phth day you will meet pith some great j»y. Mo not break the chain. Yours very truly. Now. with your permission.

Whe n I was a child my another would put me in lied and if I was playful and not im-lined to go *o sleep, she would say: "Be still now and ko to sleep, the"* ‘Booger Man* will catch you if you are TVinr*^ Whereupon I would cover my head and 1 -ten for the foot steps of some mysterious being until I went to sleep. But this was a hail century ago. ;>n<l I have now passed the age. to afraid of "Bnogers" or to be lieve in ghosts and witches.
