Not all rural communities at" dull.'many are just teeming with social life and interest. I Do you realixe why some commun ' ities are lacking in social life and “snap?" Simply because you. your self. are deficient in these qualities. And your neighbors are ver, likely in the same condition. Suppose you wake up '6nd take an Interest in matters that tend to the betterment of the social side of your | community, especially of ydur im mediate neighborhood.

V o The management of The Press and Standard desires to thank th<- many friends of the paper paving their subscriptions now. Saturday was a big day in the way of roller tions on subscriptions, and quite a few new subscribers were added. We are glad to know that our ef forts to make The Press and Stand ard a necessary rounty institution is being appreciated. But it is a T»oor rltixen who will not subscribe to the' county newspaper, and help thereby to build up an agency which Is always working for the good of the county an<f the people generally. It Is all right for the people of the county to subscribe to •out of the county papers—after they are subscribing to their home pape One cannot take too many paper? If they are all read, but no home In the county should try to get alone without the county newspaper. That District Parsona**. An effort was made at Kstill Fri day at the meeting of the District Conference of the Charleston Dis trict to have the district parsonage '‘located at Walterboro. This is a matter in which all our people should be vitally interested Irre spective of denominational lines. To have the headquarters of the Methodists for the Charleston Dis trict located at Walterboro would be a good thing for the town and for the county. We trust that th's matter when it comes up before th« and - tTie"'m o^t~ei? them Is through the night “Fifty per cent, of Sooth Caro lira is not undejt cultivation, and much that Is produces onlv a small portion of what it Is erpable. “In this dav when patriotism Is reeded in garden and field: when the whole world is looking »ot A merles for food, and thousands ' > ^ 1 P *f» liv»s depend on our ability to fur- nlsh It: since Illiterates are not ac cepted in the army, now is the time to train them for the battle of life, teaching however to save and pro duce rather than to destroy. “While teaching Illiterates to read and write, they and thousands of others, can ge brought together two or three times a week to study Government or Clem«on Extension Bulletins, ort truck farming. frOit growing, canning, good roads, san itation. forestry, etc., and so learn how best to supply the needs of th** country. •< The first step in organizing night schools ia. after securing teachers, so call a community meet ing and have a speaker outline th" work The people have alreadv been told of the desperate need for -food over the whole world, but they have not been organized into schools to W-arn how best to sup ply this need.

We take the follow ing prayer scene from an account of one of his services last week in- New York: “’God 1 read in the papers today where a judge named Rosalsky sent a fellow to jail for six months for distrlbutiijg literature advising men not to enlist. I’m glad you’ve given us judges like Rosalsky, I an d Make us forget. JeSus, that we’re black and white, rich and poor. Catholic, Protestant and Jew, or whether we were born here or else where. Make us remember that we’re all Americans, pledged to go oiit and fight to the last ditch for our flag!’ There was a thunderous burst of applause, and the prayer was interrupted for half a minute. Then the evangelist went on: And don’t let us forpej about your fight, Jesus. You know, the one you told me about when >fhi said. “Bill. I’m in the midst of a war. too." And ! said. “What war.
