Ruffin, Jan. 2.—Little Frances Hentx Caldwell, the two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Caldwell,-Jr., died Saturday after- rioon, following an Illness of a week. The ’interment to*ok place in the family burial plot at Carter’s Ford church Sunday, the burial service being read by Supt.. L. A. Hiers. The death of this little girl is sad. and especially so as she was such & bright and hopefub-ehlld, with such a sweet disposition and lovable manners. ; ‘■'Ss I Spartanburg’s Itond Issue. * _______ It it, poled that the Kpnitanburg delegation to the Ceneral Assembly are agreed upon the proposition of placing a IKOO.OOO bond Issue oi^er that county for building good roads. Greenville county, adjacent to Spar tanburg, two years ago, was given a bond Issue of $900,000 by the legislative delegation This act vuut finally deviated constitutional by the Supreme Court and as a conse quence Greenville county is con structing the best system of good roads in the State, if not fn the South. Spartanburg will follow suit. Will Aid the Hoys. The Press and Standard desires to commend the two hanks of the “county who announce their readi ness to Ivnd money<*to the member of the boys’ pig chib with Which t > purchase pigs, (tanks are more anti more coming to rrcalize that they are agencies which can do much to build up the country: Just now I’probable Liquor legislation. That the General Assembly will at Its present session take further cognizance of the liquor business In South Carolina is generally eon ceded. The people of the State ev.- ery time they have been given nil opportunity to-do so have called for prohibition. The law makers haw iiniilsled upon substitution of some thing n IttMo different. Ho Irrtmd of nlfcolute prohibition of alcohol!) t eve rages, we have n law- which per mits a gallon a month to be import ed by eve-y citizen above certain age limit. The result of th s pro viso Is that the State is Importing entirely too much liquor, and the wil| of the people is thwarted. Tin* wholesale importation of alcoholic beverages during the past month has disgusted every sober, right thinking person, and the cry lias gone ,ip again for prohibition. Th • legislature may cut off another incu of the dog’s tail by reducing th • amount allowed to be imported, or it may cut It oh? altogether. Tin- Press and Standard has • * - thought of the matter carefully, an.I we have come to the conclusion that the people should have what thev hnre asked for—absolute prohibi tion. The legislature’ may, howev er. decide (o permit the importa tion bf one quart a month, with some more stringent restrictions, such as prohibiting women from re ceiving liquor shipments, and re strieting It so that only one mem ber of a family can get it. Legislation on tills matter will be watihed with Interest. We Cannot Understand It. A few men in this rominunity de siring to bring Into the community Hie uplifting and educational in llnences of a lyceum course, pledge-! they cannot engage <U more wortbv (heir i i.edlt to secure lire work than in fostering those pub lie enterprises which tend to up build * he resources of the county. The wealth of the country is de- of specially able talent, not for their financial or p<t-annul aggrandise ment, but that the community might thereby be made better and of pendent upon the welfare of the on | helped in Its Ideals. Four out tire people, and the hgnkn which make It possible for a boy to pur chase a pure bred pig to add to the wealth df the county by raising bet ter and more hogs, is performing a commendable public service. S k - One Hundred Memberships. The Colleton Cypress Company la its subscription to one hundred memberships to the Southern Car olina Association has put many of our citizens to the blush. This company has set an example which might well be emulated by others of our citizens and large moneyed interests. The Southern Carolina Association has fully Justified Its existence and is deserving of the most liberal support of all our peo ple. The period of organization, which is always tong and seemingly fruitless, has passed and now the association Is in position to do real service. If only one drainage district be put through in Colleton county dur ing the first year, the work of the association will pay. but thi» has al ready been practically assured, and In addRton other enterprises are being pushed of equal moment. The Colleton Cypress Company recognize* this fact and consequent ly was ready" to lend its aid in the progressive^ work being done. I*>t others follow the example, and not *•*>**•- • ! *>«• *o «,»>»«h«r*hi« hot assist i n the work of the associa tion. What Will Colleton Do? r The ryatem t?> of working roads In Colleton county up to the pres ent baa not resulted In furnishing • the county with good roads. In fact there are but few miles of first-class roads la the county, and not oae mile of realty permanent road So. v It mast be patent to any observer that tba preaant plan of working roads Is a fail are.

The committee, composed of nine men have, heen called upon to pay out of their own pockets $9.84 each to pay for the expenses of the four at tractions held. The attraction 4 have all been good, and not one of them hut has uplifted those wit i attended, and given them new Ideas, new ideals.
