C.. aa second c1m« mall matter. 4 Subscription Rates: Month*. Bl'YlMJ AT HOME Th? Pre?« and Starda'd taken occasion several times to anj*) that it Is better to buy at home rather than » send m.mcy n*ay for the purrha 1 ' <*f ar'lclea T'»lch have cauaht the fancy In some mac- ar.ine or cata<<>nac. If is berter from every stirdpoint. as It ke’ps t'.e money at .i me. adds to tire volume of buslnp*'' and creates a feellnic of cosr^deshlp between buyer and seller which is not pos sible when one seef* awnv from home fo* tbejie p ir^nase*. The fol lowing excerp* from an article Is appropriate: “When you contemplate making purchases away from home, first ate robtain if you cannot do aa well in vour local stores. If the prices ai-- the same, but at home. “If you cannot find the speclfi-' • article wanted Ip your local stores, ask your merchants if they will no» get them for you as cheaply an yon ran semi or go away for them. “If you are interested in the growth and prosperity of the corn- inanity In which you reside you should supply your wants in your local market provided your mer chants will offer you the same in ducements to he found elsewhere. “The live up-to-date merchant * can and will do this." to make a great success of his. work In this 8tate ; , ’ The 9athollc church is one about which the rapk and file of peop\ know but llttl*. and what they think they know is largely a matter of prejudice and misinformation. That it haa been able to hold Together for so many centuries and come out to day the strongest of any Christian organization i« an evidence of the thoroughness With which they train their priests and their members. Once a Catholic, always a Catholic, is said to be one of the claims made for their church. “Giva me th.- first ten years of a child’a life and training." it is reported that a noted member of this church sail! “and I care not what the teaching of the rest of his life is. he will di»* a Catholic.” ' Thi» cannot be sai ! of many protestant churches in thi-. day and time. It would be bette- if the other churches were to train their member* more thoroughly. There is work for Catholics as well as Proteatants to Ho in this country-and In this time. We trust that the bitterness of theological fights may always be eliminates! and that the members of the grea* church will join hands in doing the work which is the work of the church. For the good they do, w.- have only words of praise. We congratulate tho local mem bers upon the completion of thei- handsome new edifice. ENROLLMENT DAY THEY’RE MAKING GOOD The Press and Standard doe* not believe in waiting till one i* dead . before placing in his hands a posy, or saying good things of him, but rather do we cling to the phllos opby of saying nice things of one while alive and while it can be ap preciated. Keeling thus, we trust that our young friends who will be the subject of this editorial will pardon the liberty we take of sav ing some thing* of them, we feel their due. LoRoy and Raymond, brother*',, the sons of John V. Meach. who live*, near Walterboro, a few weeks ago went to Judge Peurlfoy and rented 40 acres of land on his farm near town. They moved out and began work, living in a cabin on the farm, doing their own cooking an I housekeeping, and all the work on their farm. At this time they have as pretty prospect for a good crop as there is In the county, and if the proper season comes they will come out away ahead of the game Thes ' young men seem happy and arc taking as much pride in their crop, as if it were a new automobile Their mules are fat and sleek, and show good treatment, and they arc- really enjoying the life they ar" living. We desire to commend the man bood and the stamina ne«essar> for these young nti*n to leave thei- omforkable home and tackle thK proposition, but we are of the opin ion that they will come out of thei! year’s work with a storehouse filled with choice experiences gained dur ing the year, and they will also have their harvest to pay them financial ly. We could not help thinking how much better It is for these young men to do thi* than to loaf round town, as we see others do ing. with no visible means of sup port. and depend upon some rela tive to foot their bills. This is man hood. and will pay big dividends in manhood, health, happiness and in dependence. We trust that the result of their year* work will not be disappoint ing to them. To other young men unemployed we would say go and do thou like wise. K1HHOI* RlSCiELL’S VISIT Walterboro was fortunate in hav ing a visit Sunday from Itt. Rev. William T. Russell, of Charleston. Bishop of South Okrolina in charge <>f the Catholics in this State. Rishop Russell impresses one a* n man of great strength and of splen did ability. That he 1* n»w a bishop of his church is an Indication of the ♦ steem in which he is held by Cath olic* in authority, and that he will fill the high office with honor and • redit is not to be questioned when one sits under the spell of hi* ora tory through a sermon or an ad« dreas. , learned In theology, and in history and enthu*ed over the work hia church has done, and the outlook for the future, he is cure Next Tuesday the people of the nation will enroll for war service, the age* being between 21 and 31. This matter of enrollment will not be one of choice, but of necessity, and there are severe penalties for failure to enroll, if one i* of proper age, This enrollment will be for all races, black and white alike. The country is the home of all races, and if naturalized citizen* everyon- of these ages will be called upon to share in the burdens and responsi- hilitle* of the war. This is the only time since the War Between the State* that the negroes of this _ IT off country have been called upon by the National government for ser vice, and we believe that they will measure up to their responsibilities and will not seek to evade enrol! ment, or to evade service when cal! ed upon after In-ing enrolled. Theh white neighbors and those who know them should miss no oppor tunity to get them to go to the polling places on next Tuesday and enroll, It will he an act of kind ness fo r anyone to notify any per son who is not informed. . .jC'. ' . WELCOME TO WALTEKROim The Press and Standard desire- to join in the general welcome to the gills of the county who are t > he the guests of the town and of the people of the town in their homes. We people of Walterboro consider it an honor to have thes- young ladies conn* into our town and homes, and give us the oppor tunity of becoming better aequain* ed with the young ladies of th- county who are learning to DO things, who aie living PREPARED for life'* problems, and for a caree- of usefulness. We Dust that you* stay with us will be pleasant and that you will carry away with >o-t only the kindest recollections of Walterboro and of Walterboro hos pitality We welcome you. And we wish this welcome to be hi dal enough to ineliide the officials of the demonstration forces of the State. But for you and your work tiiis gathering would not he pos sible.
