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. * ■ »

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.

section of Colleton ia taking on a
more prosperous appearance than in
many years. 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

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.
