AX APPEAL FOR THE CHILI) The Preaa and Standard Is a friend to every boy and girl in Colleton county. The Press and Stand ard wishes to do for every boy and girl in the county juat what is best for that boy and girl. The editor of The Press and Standard wishes to see the boys and ftlrls of Colleton county, r Mh ju*t as good advantages as are enjoyed by the boys and girls of any and every other county In the State. • The reason for this is plain. The future of the county depends upon the kind of men and women the boys and girls of today grow up to be. The kind of men and women the *''Vs and’girls of today are making depends upon the kind of advantages they have for full and complete* development. So when we make an appeal for them It is for the future that %e ask. and it is for the good of the county, and the State. That policy which would curtail any of the educational advantages of th<Vchild. r . hood of the county is not far sighted and Is destruc tive. That policy based upon whatever reasoning, which would prevent any boy or' glrj in the county from having every advantage which they might have Is short sighted and will not produce any beneficial results > • <• M w -- •« So much for the above premises. They are sound In reasoning., w> believe. The conclusion^ which should be reached shou]d likewise he sound. Let iie See If they are. , To be specific. The Press and Standard is an advocate of liberal support of the educational maohin- .ery of the State and county. Its editor njver voted against an appropriation for education, either us an Individual or as a legislator, and he has been in posi tion to cast a few very weighty votes on these mat ters.. >• The records will show that his vote and in flence were always ea*t on the side of the boy and the girl of the State. / The time has come for every cltlseti to become con cerned as to the future of the educational work in this county. And by educational work we have reference te every phase of it. lloyg- and girls are educated and trained In other ways than in the rudiments of learning found in the common text books taught be the ordinary teacher in the ordinary school work of the day. , We are of the opinion thaf the best of education la sometimes found outside these text books and certainly that which means more for the practi cal development of useful clUsenship is not found alone In the ordinary text books of the common schools of the State, The time has epme when the Nation and the progressive States of Nation are stress ing the practical. Hoys and girls must be taught to DO things as well as to recite parrot-like the text matter of the books taught. So the I nited Stat.-s government ham provided large appropriations fo Industrial training in the schools. Tbe I nited States has nls« provided large sums Tor the support nt that work "in the home which is akin to thVwork m the sciwtols. In both these l lie coopers tin nNuf the Stale, county and couinuinitx are mad ntl^L How has Colleton county been‘meeting the rondi lion in so far as the training for this large lif,. goes? Let us see For several years the oounn has been stressing .that rektled edueationul work found in th» home demonstrath n work. The record made by •the county has been enviable. She has been.a leadet Among the counties in the State. Colleton w:> among the first counties to employ a hetneNjeinor- tration hgent. and the very first county to employ tw< workers and provide--for them equal salaries and on portunlties. In addition to this the county farm , agent has been extremely useful in organizing the hoy of the County alone practical lines. Colleton hir been a leader among the counties in the large numbe* of boys and girls dbo hav.> enjeyed the advantages p* club work as demonstrated in the tomato and cannin * dubs, the poultry clubs and the boys pig and- corn clubs. ^ (treat good has been dene along these line*. •®(l We are and should feel proud‘of the successes ojir ' *>07* *nd girls have met with in thi» work. We have ■eat numbers of them as eounty winners tp- the short Courses provided, and the boys and girls'there have received visions of greater and broader Things in ptor . for them. They have come back home indued with the desire to be and to achieve somethitik worthy and useful. f The money value of this Inspiration never be computed. . ticn of the work which, has been so scucessful in the county. He wished to serve the people of the county as a law maker largely that hts influence might bd given to securing a continuation of this work. *Not having been successful there he now desires To utilize his newspaper to express the strong convictions he feels on this matter^ Coljeton county cannot afford to go backwards. 1 To stop the home demonstration work would be to go backwards It would be tu’ lose what the county has gained. It would be to ftavnaie. To curtail it will be almost as disastrous. Let us ■ffope, therefore, that this will not he done.- Lather let our legislators study this question and ris*; above petty politics and do what reason and progress would demand, I.ef 119 appeal to you, gentlemen, not cut the ap_ propriaticn, but rather study the question and see ,f its. worth to the county and to do the future of tv:r boys andg girls, does not merit a better support than has been -rtven in the past. We are growing. must keep og growing, and to stop the source for/this growth will not be ^srise at this partrrnlar time, hgther err on the si<|e of progress than on the side’e stag:: at ion and retnogression. The finite manhood and womanhood of the ocunty awaits your answ COLI.KTOA’S LIVE STOt K IMH STKY will Not a wiek passes now but. that a rtttmber of pure bred hogs are shipped into this county. Last week the record shipment of a car of fine Poland China begs wap made to the Combahee Company, at White Hall a news story of which was capped from The State. Last week several of the county’s hog breed ers attended the sales in (he State and 12 more pure bred registered Durocs were shipped into the county. Colleton county now is beginning to take rank along with the other hog producing counties of the South. A few of lh£ breeders in this county can begin to boast as fine herds of pure bred hogs as exist any where. All the stuff which is being shipped fnto the county is well bred, and the blood lines are among the best in the country. It is now possible to obtain just as well bred and Just as fine hogs in this county can be obtained in any State in the union. Tlris county is Just in its infancy in the pure bred teg business. Not so .much can be said of the cattle industry, but this is beginning to take on new lif”, and in a few years there will be many hundreds ’of pure bred cattle in the county. The-cattle tick ha* gone and this makes It possible to import puro^ breu stock. The organization of bull associations will mean that it will soon be possible to breed to pure bred bulls, and this will be a great step forward. If all the scrub sires could be outlawed a great step forward would be taken. With open ranges as we have in u portion of the county, it is almost impossible to con- ttol breeding of hogs or cattle. This would not b? difficult if there were no scrubs. The Colleton county l|ve stock association Jhas a fine field for usefulness, and we trust we shall se» great interest taken in its activities.- There should he several hundred members and the live stock indus try should be fostered i n every conceivable way.
