The Press and Standard feels a keen sense of loss over the depart ure from tjila county of Rer. J. C. Lawson and his family, who are go ing to another county to make their future home. For years this good roan and able minister has stood up right in this county and urged the people to right living. You could always tell where Lawson stood on any great moral question, and when he took a stand it was one of prin ciple, and he was there even though the waves of opposition would beat upon him with great strength %nd fury. To lose such a man in such times as these is Indeed a leas. We ^Irust that he 0ha)l soon return and we desire to «ay to him that w$ shall welcome his return if ever he comes to us again. But since be is going we commend him tb the good people of his new home, and we trust that his stay there will be as pleasant aa we wish /for him. He carries with him, we know, the good wishes of a whole county, and we are *ur^ every think ing man 4md woman feela a deep personal loss in his departure. Cloainff of Schools. ■■ ■■ ii This is the season of school com mencements and closings. It is an epochal time In the life of the coln- munity, county, State and nation. Many boys and girls are winning their flrst great victory, and when they return to their homes with a diploma from any institution of learning, it means for them that they have fought a good fight and won. Every student In every school who has faithfully hone a year’s work in any of the grades is a win ner. it matters not whether or not he or she ever graduates. But there is no reason why every boy and girl with capacity for learning should not be the proud possessor of a di ploma from some institutlM. They can if they have grit and enough per severance. Rooks are cheap, and labor is plentiful. Any strong and 4 energetic boy or girl can make thnlr own way through college if they pos sess the desire and the determination to do so. AND IT IS WORTH WHILE* The Press and Standard desires to offer congratulations to the many young men and women, and to the many boys knd girls who are finish ing courses in institutions of learn ing this seaaon. But we would urge that they do not lay aside their books and feel that there is no long er any u*<> to study, There la yet much to learn, even tf you do think you have delved deep enough. Let every day’s descending sun go down upon sonve new fact you have ac quired by reading or study durlhg the day. No matter where you are graduating you are Just now ready to acquire an education. The Uni versity of Hard Knocks hss enrolled you as a student, and you will have many, many years of study anjl worfc before you will win a diploma from that institution where so many men and women are tried, and. alas! found wanting. A diploma there is what will count, my young man. mv young woman. Win it./ You can. Will you? To Organize Livestock Men We desire to commend the effort on the part of Demonstrator Risher to perfect an organisation of the ett- itens of Warren township into a live stock association, and as one of the units in the Southern Carolina As sociation. The people of that par ticular township have nothing to S lose by getting together and working for Um Spread of the livestock ta- duatry. Situated aa the/ are to near to Orangeburg it will be an easy latter for the people of that eeetloa to keop la close touch with tbo pack ing bouae there and secure highest prices for their ^product. Then agaio the lands and location are Ideal for railsing cattle and hogs In great num bers. These la no other outlet for the people in that section, and for that matter, in any other In the county, except In agriculture and livestock raising. The erection of the packing house at (Jrangeburg means as much to the fanners of Warren township as it does to the people of Orangeburg county, . and there can no longer exist the excuse t that there la' no market lor cattle and hogs. < ’ By all means let the people In that township get together and organize a branch of the Southern Caro- J ( Una Association and let'their activi ties be directed towarda the live stock industry. We welcome this evidence of Interest on their part Will everybody attend thla meeting* 1 Are you interested? W T e shall see. The Peanut Industry^ The raising of peanuts, or plnders. for commercial purposes is destined to play no small part in the develop-, ment of this county. Ip a few years there will not be aa much cotton- plaioted in Colleton, whether or not the boll weevil comes. It is being as certained by progressive farmers here and there over the country that there are many crops more remun erative than cotton, and every year •cores of them are turning from the one crop system and are planting other crops. In some counties 'already the pea nut industry is looming large. It Is not perhaps generally known that there is very little difference be tween the product of the peanut and cotton seed. A meal la made - for feed purposes, an oil and other pro duct* very similar to that of cotton seed, but more valuable it appears. A cotton seed oil mill can crush pea nuts with the addition of very little additional machinery, ahd if-the farmers of the county begin to plant in large areas, there will be no trouble in getting the Walterboro Cotton Oil Company to install the necessary machinery to crush the output of tho county. This industry baa already started in this county, and this year there are several farmers planting on a large scale. R. If. Wichman is planting 35 acres; Jas. E. Peurlfoy. 40 acres; H. D. Padgett, 10 acres, and a large number of other farm ers are planting on a small scale. Mr. Wichman is enthusiastic on the proposition and made the statement to the editor of this newspaper that an acre of peanuts fertilised wtih 91.50 of land plaster would yield greater returns than an acre of cot ton with $5.00 spent on fertiliser and with one-fourth of the labor necessary to cultivate and harvest. Peanuts are great land builders, and are almost as valuable nitrogen factories as peas or velvet beans. So farmers will do wall to study this question, and get away from an all cotton crop before the advent In two years of the bqll weevil. Get ready and you can ffefy his coming; refuse to prepare and disaster will greet you as sure as fate. PAUK BEACH ADD KEEP KM Are The Ideal Summer Clothes For Men, Women and Children.

Lodge, May 23.—The Rural Grad ed school closed its most successful fceasion on May 19-21. Friday night was the beginning of the commence ment exercises by the primary and Vntermediate grades. The selections were Cabbage Hill School. Down East Courtship, Crown Drill, etc., followed by school quartette and some charming music from piano. The audience was the largest that has yet attended any commencement at Lodge. Many said that the en tertainment was simply good. On Saturday night the audience was entertained by the graduating class. M. P. Howell, Esq., of Wal terboro. delivered the address to the class, and it was a real txeat. having divided his theme Into three heads: Success. Happiness and Sal vation. The school wants Mr. How ell to visit it whenever he can. Next fin the program was the class pro phecy by Laurie Fender. It was a fine paper, causing much laughter by Its comical arrangement. Class Will was offered by Pattie Miley; Class History by Blanche Jones and the valedictory by Vera Jordan, The message to the graduating class was delivered by the youthful, but brilliant, eloquent principal, C. C. Garris. There were four in the class who won the "sheep sinks.” The commencement sermon was preached by Dr. W. W. Daniels, of the Columbia College. It is a rare privilege to sit under the doctor’s voice, and his theme about man’s being surrounded by a cloud of wit nesses. was very ably presented. The Methodist church was not sufficient to accomtiHHlate the audience, many listening through windows, doors and from automobile*. The large school auditorium could not hold more than half of the people. On Suodqff night Rer. J. C. Law- Mft. the r«Uring Baptist minister n? 1 *- Pjwached t fiAC sermon -at the Methodist church, by special invita- tloa to a large -tuttience on the sub ject of Ever hqldlnf^*4J|*Jr«ith.
