Informed as to local matters com
ing before the delegation, and will
treat these as news Items.
The Colleton delegation ,1s com
posed of Senator Jas. O. Padgett,
who is serving bis first term, har
ing been elected in 1914. Col. Pad
gett is the senior member of the
law firm, Padgett A Moorer, and is
considered one of the leading mem
Iters of the State Senate He Is a
graduate of The Citadel; an able
and fearless debater. He has many
friends in both branches of the leg
islature and Is frequently consult
ed as to legislative matters.
Representative John C. Goodwin,
of Smoaks, is the only stra'ght-out
farmer on the delegation. He serv
ed one term six years ago. not of
fering for re-election. Ilr. Good-,
win has been meeting many former
'rlend* in the House, and making
r.ew ones.
Representative W. W Smoak is
one of the few newspaper men In
The House, and is serving his first
term, having been elected In the
first primary last year.
The following clipping is taken
from Columbia correspondence of
The News and Courier;
“Another well-known newspaper
man now a member of the House
from Colleton county, is Kditor W.
W. Smoak. of the Walterboro Press
and Standard. Mr. Smoak is keep
ing a close eye ou all legislation end
has many plans for assisting the
progressive people of his county. He
is one of the moving spirits of the
Southern Carolina Association, and
in conjunrtion with Kditor Mc-
Sweeney and the other legislators | Judges, a superintendent of the
from those four counties, is working‘.State penitentiary and three direct
to bring that fa'ored section to tli'-, ors :md for a Kiiperfntendent of the
attention of the world, and is xoing Sule Warehouse will he held, be-
to succeed, too .

The first meeting of the deleg* j ^ Sn '“ h - *' • of Smoaks. is a can
'.on wa* held Wednesday night at j
Tiie Colonial hotel. Senator Pad ;

To RepresenUllve Goodwin be
longs the distinction of Introducing
the first bill of the session from
Co’Vefoh. He' Introduced ~a Bill'
-creating a voting precinct at Pine
Grove in upper Colleton. ,
• • o
It Is a rather singular fact that
the three members of the Colleton
delegation are members of the Meth
odist church, and are connected of-
finally with their churches. Col.
Padgett is a steward and Mr_ Smoak
superintendent and teacher in Beth
el Method/.at church, WalterbJ-o;
Mr. Goodwin is a steward and teach
er in the Little Swamp church.
• * •
One of the interesting fights com
ing up at this aession is o n the
liqnor question. An effort will be
made to vote total prohibition, and
on Ibis question the Colleton dele
gation is a unit Iq favor of total pro
hlbltion. Palling in this they will
stand for a reduction to not more
than a qugrt a month. *
\ ’ * * •
A bill has been Introduced this
week by Representative Smoak, giv
ing the Walterboro school district
the privilege of voting a special levy
of not to exceed 12 mills. The pres
ent special tax levy is 7 mills.

The rounty government and sup
ply bill will doubtless be introduced
thin week by the delegation.

One of the matters upon which
the delegation agreed was the ap
pointment of G W Sweat as mag
istrate for Blake and l^twndes
townshipsi It will be recalled thal
this matter was the cause of con
siderable interesting discussion In
the meetings of the county oxecu-
tive committee and In the rolumns
of tills nets spa per. W. E. Capers
haw opposed Mr. Sweat’s appoint
ment and a letter was read at this
meeting ftim him. protesting
against Mr Sweet's appointment.
The delegation took the position
that- there was llttl»f discretion left,
as the aetton of the county exeeu
live rommtttee practically settled
the matter In favor of Mr. Sweat
Tn addition he has a petition signed
by nearly every voter and resident
of the territory
It \\ >s also decided at this meet-
Ing to p.t? . a license law tmrmftting

DINING SILVER FOR CARLISLE
When the Carlisle students anti
teachers went into The dining room
last Sunday morning, they found tin
tables all made at tract iv by a set of
beautiful new silver—the gift of
some Bamberg friends. The friends
of Carlisle are frequently doing nice
things, but they have done few
(.things more appreciated than this.
The big box that went up to the
campus on Saturday contained six
hundred and twenty-four pieces—
knives, forks. teaspoon*, table
spoons, butter knives and *i<g«ir
shells—each piece marked in script
“Carlisle.” The design is the very
attractive “Exeter" pattern of the
“Community” silver.
All this adds much in making Car
lisle more attractive and home-like
and Is highly appreciated by the
school authorities.—Bamberg Her
ald.
