Editor The Pres* and Standard: Anent your complimentary invita tion, extended some months ago, to write an occasional letter to tho readers of The Pres:; and Standard. Leg to say my failure to respond sooner was not because of any lack of Iniereat. Oo the day of the ar- - rival of T he Press and Standard I find myself running through the news of Colleton’s activities, before reading my News and Courier. %^Qiose of your readers who know me personally are aware of my rather enthusiastic interest in public mat- ters and when I intuitively pass over State. National and international news to first read the news of "old . Colleton.” they will take it as con clusive evidence of my special inter est in them, and the welfare of old Colleton. Every step of her march in the way of progress affords me peculiar gratification. The organization of the four coun ties into the Southern Carolina As sociation Is a fact much to be com mended as indicating an awakening that has come none too soon; and > every citizen should respond to your [ leadership, by answering any call j ’ made upo n him for furthering the ends of the association, which as I understand it is* to do man’s duty to a country for which has done so much. No man with mind cap able of vision into things destined to be accomplished which at present are only i n embryo, has ever come into this section, who has not been impressed with the wonderful nat ural resources. That great man. !>r. J. W. DaNiel. native of the Pied mont section, as ye scribe, sent as presiding elder to the Charleston ) district, a* he rode out into this ; territory week after week, caught the vikion of 'the country beautiful” \ and poured out hi? soul through hi? pen, entitling his thoughts, "The Hottoni Rail.” I wish the hook he \ rote were read, a® it should he. he everr man. woman ami child of this coattVai country. . Many have read it. an'Xno doubt the response to you. leadership. Mr. Editor, in the work of th^ Southern Carolina Associa tion i? due in a measure to the in fluence of thiV good hook. To those who\have not read it let me say it is a ntirror of the low country a« it has beyn, and is: a .de- „ tail of ways and mearX: and a proph ecy of what the country^;? to he. un der thos" rational forces Tot her de velopment. \ In the Piedmont country, \where we were brought up. the idea pre vails that this is a/country of mtvr- shes, am! pestilence, stagnation. dis\ ease, and death. Never was there greater error. True we have mar-; ; shes and swamps, but it is so in ev ery country where hills merg^rato the lowlands; along the beautiful rivers: and onl\ the skill of man i« needed to direct the coulee of wab-i to keep it moving, so as to arrest stagnation, and to make of these low country river plantations, the love liest. the most salubrious and pros perous homfls on earth, as indeed some of them are today. The temperance organizations used to have a prophetic motto “A Sc hool House On Every Hill Top. and no Saloon in the Valley.” We’ve about seen the fulfillment of this, thank God! but we want to go one better now. and add no stagnant |nw»I> in the valley. This is not the only- country where there is stagnant water, constituting stretches of swamp land, the more’s thp^pity! Read statistics in the government: publications on the subjmd, and see .

A man and his nearly grown daughter going to their deat.h in a nuagmire very near their home, while out on a Fourth of July pic nic with the family. That is not chargeable to the section, but to the fact that no man in Spartan burg couny ever saw the necessity of draining that piece of land. Same conditions obtain here, hut the Sou thern Carolina Association simply means that the time has come when such places must as soon as possi ble cease to exist in this country, when frugal families shall redeem tfiese waste most fertile of all acres.
