FOVRTH LIBKRTY IX)A\ Ten daya from today will mark the opening • of the three weeks' drive for the Fourth Liberty Loan Oolleton county will be called upon to do her part in this as she has done in all the other drives for the Liberty Loan, and War Savings ■Stamps, to aay nothing of the con tributions made for other worth - ' war purposes. For the third time T. H. JMtaf fer haa been named as chairman for the ^rive.'s He will have associated with him a number of hustling men Mrn. Geo. K.

The dates Me fiMa Mev^ M, a^ the time will fly all too qtlekijr. ^w* trust the people of the county are realising this and that ihfy will begin now. if they have not already done so, to get jeady to mfke exhibits and to show the world that Colleton coun ty is doing her fall sh^e in produc ing the neeemary. food'Mops to help Win the war. There should be an especially strong line of agricultural exhibits, and exhibits by the ladies of the county of their home canned products. Then a-showing should be made aFto what we are doing in the way of live Stock raising. The hog and cattle exhibits should be fine, and we believe they will be, c to aay nothing of the poultry exhibit, and we understand . that the Ualted States government especially desires that the poultry exhibit ahould.be a -strong-feature -every-fair- -this faH. ' Let us show the hoys who have gone to fight our battles in foreign lands that we are delng our best to keep thinga going as they Were when they wera at home. In other lines this Is being done, no why not along fair lines? v '. r -« TH* .NATION WIIX HK DRY One result of the great world’s war in which we are engaged is that It has brought nation-wide prohi bition several years before it would havq come by the rapid 'growth of sentiment in its favor. By ah or der of President Wilson, promulgat ed Friday, September 13th, there will be no more beer manufactured after December 1st this year, ru der the terms of the war prohibition bill aa adopted by the Senate and returned to the House fer ratifica tion. Jane 30. 1019. has been fixed as the date on which nation-wUh prohibition will go into effect, after which date there will.be no more booze, pt Mtoxlcating beverages ex cept for exportdtion, medicinal aprt sacramental purposee. The Press and Standard is de lighted that this Will be the end of thuT liquor traffic In the United States for all time. While the law prohibits only during -the duration of the war and until demobilisation of the aiuny, it means perpetual pro hibition, for by tbe time the war is over and the army demobilised, the requisite number of'states will have ratified the amendment to the Na tional constitution, and we ahall continue to have national prohityr lion, and the fat, aleek. unprinci pled German booze sellers, who have done so much in this country to wreck the manhood of the youth, will haae to find new schemes to make money. There will be no more beer gardens and saloons for them to preside over and debauch. And to all of this we say AMEN! accept subscriptions for two years from expiration of aubocription at ti>e presaat rate of 91.50 per year. Aay subecrtbkr who wishes to do so may ronow for tWo yean for 9S.0J and thus save II.CO. Quite a num ber are doing this, and others will’ do so before the time*expires. Watch your label and the date^/ - Henew before U is too late. , ’ • ‘ • i . —(Poetry.) - I DU'S 10W SHOWS IF Lie 00 SOILS ARE ACTIVE If Ooes, Feverish, Sick, .Hlltont.

When cross. Irritable, feverish or breath Is had, stomach aou”, look at the tongue. Mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless •♦fruit laxative.” and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you hare a well, playful child again. When Its lit tle system is full of cold, throat, sore, has stomach-ache, ’ diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember, a good "Inside cleansing” should al ways be th« first treatmenVklven. Millions of mothers keep "Cali fornia Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,” which has'direc- tlons for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups plainly oh the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here, so don’t be fueled. Get the genuine, made by "California Fig Syrup Company." Hie Branch House Man This is one of the Swift ft Company . Branch House Men. They ore oil pretty much alike in the ) way they feel toward their work—and that la what this id ia about. They know that moat people couldn't 7 ^ *et each food meet promptly aid in food condition if it weren't far the branch honasa of which they are in charge. * X They know that the branch hooaa la one of the moat important links in the chain of preparing and distributing mast for a nation. !.*•*• - * •* ' ' . < : They know that Swift ft Company mast haws its branch booses ran at the highest notch of oscfulnsaa; that even a Swift ft . Company branch house won’t ran Itself, and tbit h Ja np to the. braoch houM men to ran tt properly. Any brand) house man who doesn't serhla work in this light is transferred to soma other place with Swift ft Company to which he ia better adapted. They are picked men, these branch hooaa man. Every time you ait down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast, you can give a gratefal thought to the whole crew of them. And remember, in a general way, that everything that makes life etnoother and < more convenient for you,is the result of the thoughtfalness and effort of e lot of people of whom you have never heard. .. OCTOBER 1HT NOT FAR OFF YE EDITOR IS BUSY (More Shop Talk.) Th* editor of The Press and Staadard la having to forego maav Of the pleasures of this season of the Tear out in the county in ordej^to devote his time to work In the me chanical department of the paper. Th* war and other causes haa re duced The Press and Standard fpree to a minimum. The paper Is being itSued with a smaller force now than since it became a six column newspaper. There is only one ex perienced newspaper worker on the paper, E. Adame, who presides over th* linotype and directs the work I every department, doing most of thft type composition. The editor was the office "devil” for several weeks, till the services of Johnnie Hosts were secured for that moat impor tant positttfb. Miss Effie Linder meets every comer with a smiling face and can attend to most of the needs found in the front office. On the whole the work of the of fice ia going on pretty nearly a* ▼ell. end about aa much la being done aa ever. It la a bit harder on the members of the force, but they nr* doing: their beet with n good will In erder that the phblfc will not b« Inconvenienced. We ask only that our patrons remember that'we nre not free to “hope-bock" for ad vertisement* and job printing or ders, or to collect accounts, and to try to he ready for all these so that one call will suffice. Our time Is valuable and so is your. Conserve both by a little forethought. Uncle Sam will brine your orders and they will -receive out promptest atten tion. Yea smi all earnestly and honestly observe the rulings of the War Industries Board on October lt( there will he a marked saving of newspaper. We have no reason to doubt that they will do so. and thousands of news- papers will have to stop coming to dead beat subscribers over the coun try. Hundreds of copies of papers come to this county not paid for and these will stop. Other hundreds afe coming to perfectly reliable and responsible persons whose ' eredli standing is Al, but these will also have to stop unless they sre paid for in advance. So these agencies will cause the amount of mail mat ter to drop off materially, at least until the subscribers can get their remittances in to the newspaperrs Fortunately The Press and Stand ard will be aa little affected by this ruling as any newspaper In the State. We -have been on a cash In advance system for several years and we can present a dean bill of health, and a paid In advauce list of subscribers. About the only way in which this ruiling can affect eur subscribers tj, that we hare been permitting those whose subscrip tions expire about one month of grace in which to r*‘n**w. This we shall have to stop after the 1st of October, and on that date we shall cut off all subscribers whose label does not.show that they have paid In advance, or at least up to Oc tober 1st. 1918.
