You’d a chance and messed It. the special school levy The Press andf Btahdard 4s glad > Diat the special levy for the Waiter- boro school district carried at the '•lection held last Thursday. While we realise that to Increase taxes Is ■osaething which should only be done In cases of grave emergency, we think this kind of emergency had arisen In the Walterboro school district. The school has grown faster than the funds for running It, and faster than there seems a likelihood of the funds growing for some time to come, so the only thing to do In a case of that kind Is to try to secure additional funds, and this was only possible or feas ible here by means of an additional levy. No money spent for education is ever wasted. And there ^ was never a more prosperous nor a bet ter tluMS. to Increase expenditures for education than right now. HE PHKPAIIKI> TO VOTE We cannot understand why men will be so careless as to neglect to take care of their registration cer tificates, and necessary. papers to enable them to vote whenever an occasion arises. This fact was brought out very forcibly last Thursday In the election on the matter of voting a special levy, for the Walterboro school district. Many voters were disfranchised .be cause- they did not have the proper credentials, and it Is so -easy to place them where they can he found at a moment’s notice. They afo im- •s. H portant papers and should be as carefully kept as one’s life Insur ance policies, or land papers. Here was a momentous question, one which If it had been lost, would have disrupted the school system of the county seat, and yet there were more than a dozen men who wanted to vote for the levy who could not vote because they could not And their tax receipts or registration Certificates. All they could do was to hope the election would carry, and Indulge In vain wishes. 80. permit Thfe Press and Stand ard to urge every qualified voter In thq^county to secure a registration certificate and PLACE IT WHERE IT CAN BE FOUND Immediately #hen needed., This Is important. . OUR FIRST TO (JO N The Preaa and Standard uncovers to the first contingent to go from Colleton county, under the new draft law. It la a distinct honor to be among the first, and In future the historian will record, their names high ,. up In the annals of those who dared all and sacrificed all. Next after those hoys who un selfishly volunteered when the first call camp a few months ago, stand these intrepid fellows who. know ing net whst the God Of War may have in store for them bravely and unflinchingly go to the front as their country calls. May they ALL come marching home soon victor ious In the cause of democracy and freedom. Justly then they may point to their deeds and feel that they did a man’s work and a man’t duty. But should Ihey* not’return. It is given man to dte but once, and no cause ever railed for sacrifices more glorious than that which now challenges the manhood of th rt world. •- * Boys, wv wish you mighty well. canned 300 quarts In glass jars, and sold 13 bushels besides.

A NOTABLE RECORD The resume of the achievements of the Southern Carolina Associa tion during the past twelve months as given in The Evening Post yes terday will doubtless surprise even the members of that ^ wide-awake organization. It is. a good illustra tion of what c.o-operatlon can ac complish in community or sectional developments• Each of the four counties embraced in the activities of the association has felt the call of progress and the entire .State, aft well an other partft of the country, has been put on/hotiee that this section of SoiijJi Carolina Is work ing toward Jt-'ldg future, The asso ciation ha* done much to awaken the business men of the various communities in Its territory to' their advantages and opportunities, as weW juu the disadvantages which need ‘to be removed.' — It Is noted with regret that the association is to lose the services of its managing secretary at the end of the year, and that ‘a successor will not be employed for the pres ent, We do not know the reasons responsible for thi* ideejsion. but hope that. If possible, the associa tion will reconsider the maiter and make sure that the usefulness of the organisation will not be cur tailed. A capable executive secre tary la a moat important adjunct tq such an organization. and the ab sence of one usually means that it will not survive In a vigorous con dition long. Especially may the .publicity end of Its activities be neglected, and this should not be permitted If possible to preveait It. The association should not rest on Its laurels, but should strive to make Its second year yield even better returns than Its first.—The Charleston Evening Post. YES! LIFT IM Off PI!
