The Pre^s and Stan«lard believe It Is the best ^tep ihe State just now ran have taken Kvery rtsouree• of our pt-ople should by htishande,! against wnate, and every rent spent for alcoholic beverage*, is a cen. wasted. There can be no gainsay ing this statement With the re cent decision of the Supreme Cptfr! on thi’ Webb-Kenynn Act. if Is now possible for any state to have what her people enact ijvto law South Carolina enacting a "hone dry" pro hibition law, there will be no Jack sonville ifr Richmond bars helping our people violate the Slate law. This in proper, and we shall have t real taste of real prohibition, if this law finishes the course so well start ed by the TToutd Fmo.;' In that fcplendld prohibition vote. TEACHING BOYS AGRICTLTIRK If the bill for teaching agricul ture, Introduced by Representative ftmoak and Representative Rector, becomes law. it is hoped that there wll Ibe several schools in Colleton county to take advantage of its pro visions It will be recalled that last year an effort was made to se cure the teaching of agriculture in five of Colleton's schools, but when It was found what the law was. it was decided to postpone an attempt to secure one of the teachers till the law Could be amended Those who have read.^he proposed bill in last week’s issue of The Press and Standard will see some of the- paten' changes made ine Toole/bill of a year ago, ff is now possible for i two-teacher school with an enroll ment of fifty pupils to come in un der this law. and no limit fa made as to the maximum requirements. The Press and Standard desires to call attention to this loll and I * urge the educational authorities to get in readiness to make application for at least one of the teachers for a group of schools Vnder the more desirable feature: of this bill, there will be a rush of application and Colleton must be ready with five of her school*. Mr County Superin tendent and Messrs Trustee*. t( is up to you to secure -this much de sired work in your school* r Permit us to call attention to two groups of schools ideally located for this work: Group No 1 Cottageville. Beth lehem. Stoke*. ^Tabor. Hudson’- Mill or Hendersonville. Group No . 3 l odge. Ashton. Smoaks. Strickland. Williams or Ruffin. The above classification doe* not Include all the sihools which will be able to come in under the provis ions of this hill, hut are merely suggestive Who will take the ini tiative and 1m> ready to comply first Group No 1. or Group No. Wt shall see Th« past week in the legislature waa one of the most busy of the ses sion. Quite s npmber of State-wide mattera were acted upon by one or the other of tl^e branches of tbe legislature, and others will be voted upon this week. ^ The forty days of the session will be out Peb. 17, but ft is thought the mmIou will extend beyond the ffrrty days, as it not thought potti Me for the balance of the work to bf done i n the tlmo remaining. The general appropriation bill will be reported early thla * week and ground this will be waged the prin cipal fights of the session. The Ways and Means committee of the -Hauec-end r+nanw confmtiTPe oTine' Senate have endeavored to hold down appropriations, but there have been unusual and heavy demands, so it is not thought possible to get through o n much under $3,000,000 and take care of last year’# deficit. A • * . ♦ ** Prohibit ion Wins in House. Tin result of the prohibition vote in the House was not a surprise. 'It Is nut known what the Senate will do but it is believed the "bpne dry” bill will pass in that body also. Governor Manning is not in favor of a lota] prohibition law. and some conjucture Ik felt as to his attitude. It is feared he may veto the bIJJ, * * * Woman's Suffrage Falls in Senate. Ry a vote of 24 to 19 the. Senate, refused to submit a constitutional amendment allowing women right of suffrage. This was a ma jority but it required a two-thirds 1 vote. »• ♦ .* * i* Rate of Interest Reduced. By a very derided majority the, House passed the Moore bill reduc ing the legal rate of interest from 7 per cent, to 6 per cent, and the contract rate from 8 per cent to 7 per cent. So, if this passes the rate of interest will be reduced 1 per cent. * * * Senator Padgett spent the week end and Salesday at home, the Sen ate having adjourned Friday HU Tuesday night at 8 o’clock. Representative Smoak haa not y«t returned to Columbia, having been .confined to his bed with a.severe at tack of grippe contracted In Colum bia. He hopes to return the latter part of the week. , # *• The following bills have been in troduced by the Colleton delegation during the session: , ■e , A bill to authorise the highway commisaioner and county treasurer to borrow money for Colleton coun ty.

Mr. Goodwin: To enable the trus tee* of school districts in this State to condemn land for the purpose of buildings and maintaining school house* thereon. DO Y OU PROVIDEF OR YOUR FAMILY?

It will be well for our farmers to remember that in war time food stuffs sell well. HERE’S REM. NEWS OCR linMKdMRFKs For Reader* of The Frew; and Htawlartl.
