Those Fussy Automobiles. The most disturbing element at the campaign meeting Saturday was the noise created by automobiles. It would seem that* owners of cars attending a meeting such as this would be a bit more thoughtful of the proprieties of the occasion ami come a little ahead of time, or at least stay until it is over. Several of the speakers Saturday had an awful time trying to make them selves heard above the din of earn coming up near the stand or leav ing. This was especially noticeabh? at the conclusion of former Gover nor mease's speech and the begin ning of Mr. Cooper's. The latter candidate had a hard time ti7ing to make himself heard, and it was dis tracting to those who desired to hear his speech The man who can invent a noise less t’ar will make a fortune. W, W. Smoak. editor of the Wal- terbore Press and Standard, has de cided to make the race for the Hodse of Representatives from Col leton county.

MILLER’S ANTISEPTIC KNOWN AS OIL The Four-Founty Fair. > •'■to*. One of the greatest things the Southern Carolina Association will accomplish during it’s first year will be the staging of a four-county fair at Walterboro this fall, it w*8, in deed. an important decision the counties made to agree to this four- county fair proposition. The'meet ing and commingling of the people of the four counties will have a far reaching Influence, and will result In much good to the counties Interest ed. This section of the State muat Btick together and work out prob lems confronting the people. This can be done only after one has a thorough knowledge of conditions and of the resources of the section. This can be gained better at a fair exhibiting tne products of the sec tion than In any other way. The Press and Standard Is delighted that the fair will be staged ‘ks a four- county affair this fall. Walterboro and Colleton county especially should profit by this Southern Carolina Fair. With her fair grounds and buildings already erected and equipped, the matter of holding a fair will npt entail any great expenditure of time or money at this time. The benefits, to be de rived locally will be Immeasurable. To begin with there will he *ev«wal thousand people of the other coun ties who will come here to attend the fair. They will come targoty by automobile, and they will see the county at first hand. They wil see Walterboro and will enjoy the hos pitality of her people. It will be a time when much work for the fu ture development of the town and the county ran be done. That our people will measure up to the re quirements we do not doubt for an instant. Hut It must not be forgotten that thla county will be in competition with three other counties, and Col leton County MUST make at gooff a showing as any, if not the beat. We can do It If our people will get busy and determine to do so. We must have the best exhibits from the county we have ever had. Every citizen can help In'thla. and we be lieve Hvey will. If only a good ear of com, or a fine atalk of cotton, or a Pig or anything worth exhibiting is sent by each .fititen we will make a finr showing. Urass Hand For Walterboro- ■ — N, Walterboro should hav«. a brass band. That there to need for a g< baad here is not questioned. Ever; year there are hundred* of dollars sent out of Walterboro for music which might as well be made here and save sending away of this mon- ^ ey.. Then thcVe is the matter of x a public place, for band concerts which should receive attention. The peo ple of Walterboro and the sur rounding country would welcome some place where they could g<f once and a while and hear some good music. With the sdv<uU of the electric light In Walter^ors> it Is possible to light some area in a cen tral part of town well enough to have a band stand and a few rustic ’ seats for those who wish to go out to hear the music.

THE 8MALL TOWN’ PEST Mr. Editor: Have you ever met that small town pest, who meets yoar newly ar rived friend or prospective citizen and tells him what a rotten town j this is? -* I know you have and I’ll leave it to you if he isn’t about the worst of our pests. He usually starts off and tells Mr. Stranger that he remembers the time that he could have bought the ground that the court, house is on for about $10.00. but that he <Md not and is glad of it. He knows everybody and pro ceeds to tell Mr. Strqfciger that so and so is a crook and tfiat you can t put any confidence ip this man and the othey fellow. He knocks the town, he knocks the people and he takes a rap at everything in the country. We have often wondered why in "‘tarnation" he doesn’t movq. No body’s asked him to stay, but you’ll always find him sticking around with his little hammer. But jasf let soni“ body start a move of public benefit and he is especially active. It’s no good; it’s a graft and the fellow that promotes It Is a ^rafter. But at the same time you’ll hear him say that no osie ever tries to do anythiog for the town. We have been in a good many towns and whenever we didn't like the town or CAildn’t stand the peo ple. why. we quietly folded our tent an ( | stole away, minus the hammer, however. I wonder if Mr. Knocker ever stopped to think that any little town is a good little town when a fellow attends to his bnslness and gives the other fellow a chance to do thf same. It has always been our motto to boost the place that we were in if it was pot for hnt a week’s stav That’s the way to get along.-> Of course people are crazy about you- when you tell them what a rotten town they have and and that their leading citizens are a bunch of crooks. Oh yes. yes indeed. We once visited a town where, when on* went In there was promin ently displayed the following sign; "Welcome to our city.” On goinz out there wa« another sign: "If voj don’t like onr town, there's the road.” We think it too had , that all towns can’! have that same sign printed for the benefit of Mr. Knock er. In conclusion let’s advise him to sell bis hammer and buy a horn. Being a sore-head never got a man anvthing l^t’s all tell every body that we have the best town on earth and If everybody talks that and thinks that we will soon have that same town every where. Tha world has no place for n knocker. His time is past; its hand is stretched out to the fellow •gho’e a booater.
