Thanks to some agency this was entirely absent from the meet ing and the crowd attending. The police of Walterboro could have taken a vacation with propriety. One can well feel proud of such a gathering and of the spirit of fair play in evidence all round. There are no wounds -to heal, and no bit terness to lie lived down.

Guest, The Greenwood Index has been patting itself upon the hack upon tbe excellence of its advertising. Re cently very complimentary remarks have been made of this publicaiton by some of the country’s greatest newspapers, as to the quantity and quality of its advertising. The In dex is indeed in a class to itself when Ik comes to country weekly advertising. The merchants of Greenwood deserve also some of the praise, becanso they furnish the '•ainews of war" for this splendid record. / \ M - . . Federal Aid For Roads. The newest newspaper in South CaroMria-was - * Issued Sunday morn ing in a new building belonging to the Charleston American Newspa per Company, located on Meeting and Society streets. Charleston, It came out In four sections containing 7 6 pages, bearing the name "The Charleston American,” and will be Issued as a morning dally. The In ternational New* Service will supplv the telegraphic reports, and a corps oT correspondents will furnish the State newrs! The first issue -was quite an ambitious one. and carried a large amount of display advertis ing, as well as a number of inter esting special features. John P. Grace, formerly mayor of Charles ton, and a n attorney of recognised ability is named as the editor. The American hopes to wield an Influ ence in South Carolina affairs, and has for its editor a fearless writer. At last there Is to be Federal aid In road building in th r Cnlted States. 175.000,000 has been appropriated to be spent In five years on condition that the States expend a similar amount, which will result in an ex penditure for public roads in this Country of $15*.00O;000. Rules governing this expenditure will he announced within a few weeks. South Carolina's portion of th.- first $5,900,000 is $74,100, and to avail ourselves of till* amount it will he necessary for the State to have a Slots. IJigh way Commissioner, and make an appropriation of a similar amount. This will be left In the hands of the legslature at Ms next aession. That Campaign Meeting. The Press and Standard desires to fomplment the large crowd which was in Walterboro at the State cam paign meeting uphn the orderly and *ell behaved manner in which the •peeehes wet,, heard. There was ap plause. mostly clapping of hands, for different candidates, in fact all of them received some applause, hut very little swooping ’em as has been In evidence at former meeting.; In Walterboro. The speakers. too. were on their good Vhavior, and de serve to be also complimented. Lit tle that was said could bave been criticised. The speakers^iojmied to realixo that the rrowj was not In the humor for any foolishness, and that they were present for the pur- . i* 0 ** hearing issues and not men .discussed. On the whole it was a mighty good meeting. One other thing which was most noticeable, was the absence of liquor drinking. s Thett» may have been some few men drinking, but th* editor of The Preaa and Rtandari did not sc* one who had the appear- ance of having taken a drop of liquor. This is a remarkable occur- • u Wanted—A fanning Factory. There has been some talk recently of a canning factory for Walterboro and some of the business men here have expressed themselves as will ing to take som* stock in such an enterprise. It is thought that such a business here would help to tak.? care of some of the waste products of th* farm, and that it would fur nish a market for many things now going to waste on the farm and in tiie gai<lcn. Tlieij>a few acres could b*> utilized In the vicinity of the can ning factory for growing crops to be canned. It would be surprising -to kno the number of cans of stuff ordered from other states which could be grown at home, and which would add to the revenue of the county. In addition to the canning of corn. Peas, beans, tomatoes, beets and oth er crops such as these. thei> is a vast field for canning syrup and sweet potatoes. This is considered a delicacy in trmny parts of the country, and t her * is nowhere on •he globe where better sweet pota toes can be grown than in this coun ty. So Instead of being a purchaser of canned goods let Colleton counfy become a seller, and bring in money instead of sending it out. The presence of the canning clubs in this county this year has served to demonstrate what can he done. A conservative estimate of the num ber of cans to he put up in the coun ty this year would he 29,000 3-pound cans.x, L* t us supplement the indus- try of the girls and utilize the small amounts, on each farm hy establish ing a canning factory in or pear town The cost would l»e small, and the-returns sure and certain Mr. Smith’s Withdrawal. The Press and Standard is pub lishing this week a communication trotn K: Rosser Smith, who is nnvr a mcnihei of the Charleston Light Dragoons, in camp at Styx 'Mr. Smrth announces his intention of withdrawing from the race for Rep resentative. on account of his hav ing enlisted in the army. Then* can b* n* one who does not admire, thw manly action of this young man in enlisting and the sin cere tone of his communication an nouncing his withdrawal. He is making a sacrifice to serve his coun try. That he is sincerely desirous of serving his county in the halls of the legislature is evidenced by his having been a candidate two years ago. and again this year. If* also announce,, that he will be a candi date two years hence. His exper iences and training will qualify him well for entering the political arena. He is a young man yet. and this bit of experience will prove of great value to him, *nd serve to broaden his vision and make him a more val uable legislator when his time comes The Press and Standard desires to commend Mr. Smith's patriotic service and his manly stand in with drawing from the race—thus put- ting Psidfr-tor the time being, pe^ sonai ambitions. We predict for him an honorable career, and a useful life. NOTE SOME OF OtlR CUT PRICES On Ladies’ and Gent’s Palm Beach Suits BEFORE $12.00, $9.50, $7.50, $5.50. NOW • $8.00, $7.00, $5.00, $4.00.

THE EDITORS SliOlLD KNOW SOETH CAROLINA The South Carolina Press associa tion hos just concluded a most de lightful and profitable meeting at York. There the editors., <1 ere de lightfully enrertained, and there they Named many things of a fine section of South Carolina. It ig announced that the next meeting of the editors will be held in the extreme lower sertton of the State, at Beaufort. This, m our opinion, is a wise sieec- rion. and it give* promise of contrib uting to the success of an idea that has be* n advanced previously. It ha« been suggested that greater unity on the part of the newspapers of the State in the matter of giving pub licity to the resources of South Car olina and to the material develop ment of the State should result in n great deal of good. By meeting jr. the various sections of South Cart, lina. the newspaper men may be come better acquainted with thel: State and. being better Informed, "rite more forcibly concerning the things that are taking place.
