THE “TALK” STAGE IS PAST There Is no doubt in the minds of this newspaper that the people of the Southern Carolina district, which comprises the counties of Ueau fort, Colleton Hampton and Jasper, will support liberally tbe movement to boost this section, and to bring into it the agencies so essential for it> rapid development. This was evidenced by the quickness with which tho movement as first proposed was seized upon by the thinkers in the conn' ties of the proposed district. The Beaufort meeting when the movement 1 as proposed by Tht^J^ess and Standard held its initial meeting, followed, by'the noted gathering Tff Coll* Son only a few days ago, and this in turn by the impressive and encouraging gathering at Hidgeland last Thursday night, indicates that our people ar^ alive to the Importance of this or ganization and the need for the work it proposes to do. But It has passed beyond the “talk" stage and the time has come for action. Klsewhere in this issue of The Press and Standard is found a blank form for making a subscription to this laudable undertaking, and it is hoped that the response will be immediate and liberal. There is not a man in the county who cannot well subscribe to one menfbershlp and not miss the money outlay. There are many who can afford to make subscriptions for ten. twenty, thirty, forty or fifty memberships, and ths returns, we confidently believe, will be astonishing to them. A live secretary for this section, acting along the lines of commercial secretaries in larg-> towns and cities, can do a world of good correlating the resource.* of the section advertising them, inaugurating new movements, and organizing community clubs, and doing the hundred and one things a live man will find to do. * ■ » *U I • vf • tholract is n*K cl woodlafec In the counties represented by the new appellation, "Southern Caro lina'*, are approximately 8,000 square mile of territory, and contain over 100,000 people. There are many thousands of acres of the richest lands in the world lying idle awaiUng the hand of the husbandman to make them blossom as the rose, and add to the wealth and comfort of tbe peo ple now residing in this territory. To make this wealth of climate and soil attractive to settlers it will be necessary to do at least two things on a large scale, that is drain the low lands and build good roads through out ’the section. Then should follow an advertising, campaign for fcood white settlers in numbers to come in anj help make our broad acres yield their full harvest, and thus multiply our schools, our churches and our wealth. With such a need for us and so much to do, there should be ho hesitancy In getting to work on Ihi* proposition. Another matter in this connection and this is the local side of it is that Colleton county must not be behind the otber counties in raising her quota of the money necessary to carry on this great work. Beaufort. Hampton and Jasper are ready to subscribe to their quota of member ships. and if Colleton is to retain her prestij^ in this matter her peopl muft not allow this county to be behind the others in subscribing to a large number of. memberships. The Press and Standard has faith in th people of this county, and we believe that we shall be the first county to raise our quota of the money to begin this work! 0 We. therefore, confl dentially ask that YOU. Mr. UKABEH, fill in the blank in this newspaper and mail or send it in to some.menifeer of the local Board IMMEDIATELY IT IS YOUR FIGHT JUST AS MUCH AS IT IS THAT OF ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD IN THIS OR ANY OF TITE COUNTIES. «**»»*« « » ****** » * # * Personal Mention * ********* ****** * Mrs. M.

Quite a lot of new land hat been taken up and most of the farms are in good shape. The farm, ere have good stands of^ cotton and corn and with little rain these cropr will help to raise the^gloom of the war. The oat crop Is short owing to the dry season, but some think that It is not too late for this crop to make. The best field of oats that I have seen in Orangeburg, Bamberg of Colleton counties is owned by Mr. G. E. H. Moore, of this place, and Is pn the road to Walterboro. In this field Mr. Moore has a few acres • of early Fulghum oats that ar« ripe and ready to cut. Mr. O. E. H. Moore has purchased ract of land adjoining his and clearing up the small strip of d that separates the two places. Aftlr this is cleared and the two places Joined Mr. Moore will have one of the handsomest and most valuable places in this section. The families that reside In the nr: country are arriving in the vil- 1; g. ‘i&ily- Those who moved up last '.eek are G. H. Guess, J. C. Guess, Chas. McTeer, Mrs. Frank Guess. O. A.-Speights and W. E. Jay- cocks, R. E. McTeer, R. D. Robin son and W. A. Speights will come up this week. The addition of these folks to the village will liven things up for the summer. Mrs. John H. Marvin, of Sheldon, is spending a time with Mr. Marvin's father. Mrs. J. A. Marvin. Jr., will leave this week for a month's visit to her daughter in Georgia. .» Miss Dorris Speights spent the week-end in Charleston. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Drew. Sr., have returned home after a visit to their son in Sheldon. Ike Anderson has a new hat. In land Drew Is expected to get one this week. It is not hard to realize the fact that the politicai circus is near at hand. The famous old politicians are now rubbing their heads togeth er and men who never spoke to you before in their lives are now shaking hands with you on all sides. Fac tionalism seems to be taking a good hand again. The most disgusting and contemptible thing In tills whole world a man who enters a race for an office and is not man enough to run on his own merits, but tells the people they should vote for him be cause he is a Bleasite or Manningite. The quicker the people can such men as this the better off #>e ^country will be. They cannot control their own vote and mind saying nothing at all for the business of an office. THE ACHES OF HOUSE CLEANING The pain and soreness caused by bruises, over-exertion and straining during house * cleaning time are soothed away by Sloan’s Liniment. No need to suffer this agony. - Just apply Sloan's Liniment to the sore spots, rub only a little. In a short time the pain’leaves. you rest <cni- fortab.y and enjoy a refreshing sleep. One grateful user writes: "Sloan’j Liniment is worth its weigh in gold." Keep, a'bottle or. hand, use It against all soreness. N^u’i.1- ,gia and Bruises. Kills pain. 25c. at your Drug list. ' Mrs. H.
