THE EDITORS* MEETING FRIDAY OF THIS WEEK - - ^ f - OOe of the most important meetings held in.this section of the State in some time will be that of the Editors and others of "Southern'Caro lina” which i 8 scheduled to take place at Ritter, and Walterboro Friday *f this week. This is the second meeting of the' editors and representa tives of the chambers-of commerce held in this section, the first b-iu^ held at Beaufort several weeks ago. » * At this meeting there will be representatives from the 11 newspapers published in this section, am) repreaentatives from the chambers of com merce of the county seats and other places In the counties composing Southern Carolina. In addition there will be several representatives from several leading dally newspapeis and other gentlemen of prominence In the State. .; -- Thia Willie the first visit of many of these prominent citizens to this county', and It. therefore, behooves us to make them feel welcome and to see to it that nothing happens to mar the pleasure of their visit in any w'py. Every citizen of Walterboro should feel a personal interest in the \iait of these gentlemen, and feel that he is a committee of one to as sist in making them feel at home, and giving them a good impression of Walterboro and Colleton county. ' • This meeting wlJJ. be an epochal one for this section, and there will doubtless be effected at it an organization which will do much develop thia portion of the State. We possess the climate, the sqjl and the geo graphical situation to make oun part of South Carolina a leader in the State, in the South, and the purpose of fhese -gatherings is to plan a method by which , these advantages can be made known and turned to cobtinued development. ^ Speaking of this meeting the following is taken from recent Issues of some of the leading papers in South Carolina. j* The Beaufort Bazette says: The Beaufort Chamber of Commerce is to be well represented at the meeting at Waite, borj on the 28th to promote the develop ment of Southern Carolina. At a meeting held on Monday nighTN a strong delegation was appointed to attend. It is proposed to get as many as can. to make the Dip through |be country by auto- - mobile and it is expected that several cars will be used for the occasion./Th? first of these meetings of the editors and repre sentatives of trade bodies of this'Vdion was held at Beaufort last month at the invitation of the Beaufort Chamber. The program of thia meeting will be as follows: All repre sentatives to said meeting will go Friday morning, the 28th. to Ritters, where, under the direction of the Walterboro Chamber of Commerce a Visit will be made to the development work that Is being carried on there. In the afternoon the phrty will go to Walterboro where a meeting and banquet will be held that night. At this meeting it is hoped to plan some organization for the de velopment of the counties interested. The great importance of this Southern Caroll^ movemeht was stressed and steps were taken to secure delegate from the towns of Port Rpyal, Bluffton and Hardeeville also. Mr. N: H. Crosby of Bluffton was prtftent and went hack to hi* .city de termined to secure representation from Bluffton If possible. The Hampton County Herald says: This week the watchword is "On -fo Walterboro." If the intention of thos# who are promoting this meeting bears fruit this willvbe changed in the near future to some such phrase as "On to Development.” Those who have been Interested in this movement will recall that it had its initial beginning In a meeting of the editors of outtu rn ( arolina in Beaufort some weeks ago as guests of the Beaufort Chamber of Commerce, for the specific purpose of lay ing some plans whereby the newspapers of this section of the State could get towhlpd all movements for the development of the section, and in a united way work for the upbuilding of these lower counties. As a result of this conference it was decided to hold a second meeting at which time an effort would be made to form some kind of association having for Ita aim the develop ment of the section designated as Southern Caroltni. ‘ To do this it will be necessary to have an organization in each county of the section. These county organizations can have representation in a central body that shall plan for developments that are commonly needed in the entire section. These plans ^tfan them be carried oat by the local county organizations. All these things wifi be diseussed at the meeting which i* to be held In Walterboro on the 28th of this month. It is hoped that not only newspaper men hut the representative men of each county *111 be present to hear and take part in these discussions. We .arc confident that if the rlspresenUtive men of each oouny in the ~ctlon are prs^nt at this meeting there will be no doubt .bout the organization of a trade body for the gectlon that will do more toward developing the section than ha. been done in the past twenty years. p The Hampton County Guardian saya: r T Dd K me * tl “* 0f lh# * d,t0r> of B^ufort.

Anyone with A bad back; any reader suffering from uri- ry troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement. J. 8. Jackson, liveryman. Black St.. Walterboro. says: “I had a dull, grinding ache in my back and paint through my loins. My back waa very weak, sore and lame. The kid ney secretions were usually discol ored and deposited sediment. Doan’s Kidney Pills procured at the Walter boro Drug Co., gave me relief at once. They straightened my back, removed the backache and regulat ed the action of my kidneys. I sleep much better nights and feel perfectly well now.” (Statement given March 30th. 1908.) On June 1. *19*4. Mr- Jackson said "I Haven'tT>een bothered, by my, kidnevs for some time. I still think well of Doan’s Kidney Pilla.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simplv ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills.—the same that Mr. Jackson has twice publicly rec ommended.

Padgett is a prominent attor ney and State Senator from Colleton county. In 1913 he entered the race for the unexpired term of the late George S. L e sar p . and came out a close third, with five trying for the same position. He is one of the ablest men in South Carolina, and if he succeeds in going to congress, the people of the rural district# may expect some benefits; as it now- stands, the congressman from the First district is/ looked upon as Charleston’s congressman and not as a representative .of the other counties which make np this dis trict. Col. Padgett will represent all of the people, and we bespeak for him a handsome vote in Clarendon. —Manning Times.
