To the preacher, life's a sermon;
To the Joker, it's a Jest! .
To the miser, life is money;
To the loafer, life is rest.
To the lawyer, life's a trial;
To the poet, life’s a book;
To the doctor, life’s a patient
Who needs treatment riKht along.
Tfe the teacher, life’s a school;
Life’s a good thing to the grafter;
It’s a failure to the fool
To the man upon the engine
Life’s a long and heavy grade;
It’s a gamble to the gambler:
To the merchant, life is trade.
Life's an everlasting effort
To shun the duty to the shirk.
Life is what we try to make it—

WHY NOT FORM MM .DIKII ORGANIZATION?
Colleton county is being Oiled with returning sol
diers, many of whom went across and many only
serving at home. They all deserve great credit for
their readiness and willingness to serve their country
In time of crisis. The associations formed and the
experiences g'ained will prove of great .value to them
In after life. The county will b. better for their hav
Ing served their country us they did. They will
r*ake better citizens and they will be better men.
But this is not what we started out to
n. x 1C*
write. Now that these young men are back home,
v-(' have been thinking it would be helpful to the>s
and exceedingly interesting for them to form an
organization to be known as Colleton’s soldiers umi-r
aonie appropriate name. It might lie well for them
to hold regular meetings ami for the sake of-keeping
alive the knowledge learned through the months 01
bard drilling to which they were subjected, they might
•‘drill’’ at these meetings. A company or two »f
them organized into a national guard, and thus give
Colleton a member of the militia organization.
The above is a suggesth n which the. hoys in khaki
might think over and if they think well of it art upoi
MHTH CAROLINA LIVE STOCK SI I’lM.KMKNT.
The News and Cqprier last week issued a very line
piece of constructive newspaper work in a special s*
page live stock edition. . This edition contains a
number of articles dealing with the actual growth of
the live stock industry, and also giving facts and
figures to prove that thh) section | of the State la
the natural home for the best strains of live stock
to be found any wher^ In the country. The array
of facts marshalledis rather astounding to the per
son who has not been able to keep abreast of the
rather rapid development. ' Colleton county' shows
np well in this edition and there are a number of
special articles written by Colleton correspondents.
Among these are one or two by the gifted writer
James Henry Rice, Jr. We congratulate The News
and Courier upon this splendid edition, and we com.
mead the people’ of this section of the State for be.
coming live stock raisers of such prominence snd
no’te. As The News and Courier says this edition I*
used merely to whet the appetite of the people of the
country and show them what .is being accomplish,
afi. It Is worth while newspapering, and we trust
more of It will be done in the future.
The bill to force certain trains to stop at Green
Pond, a junctional point, introduced by Senator Pad.
gett, la aimed to correct a seeming Inequality Id
railroad service at which the people of Walterboro
have long chafed. 4 has been most provoking to
desire to go to one of the cities, and either have to
drive to other points, or to stand and see the trains
gr whizzing by. Senator Padgett is endeavoring to
do what the railroad commission will not do, and
that is to compel the railroads to stop the trains
at Green Pond.
The following is an editorial from The News and
Courier, and it v shows that other sections are also
alive to the need for this legislation. The News and
Courier says: * “> ^
For years Green Pond has had all ths attributes of
a railroad junction, but without facilities. ^ As
things have gone, the person going from Charleston
to Walterboro or from Walterboro to Charleston has
had to give way to the person going from Savannah
to Walterboro, or vice versa. Charleston and the
vay stations have ha<^ the long and tedious wai:
at Green Pond while persons bound to or from stations
beyond Greet Pond have had the benefit of a close
connection.
Ii appears that bill, advocated so earnestly
by State Senator James G. Padgett, of Colleton. Is in
a way to correct this fault, by having through trains
stop at Green Pond, thus making, this station in fact
as well as in name a junction for the Walterboro-
Khrhardt.Iiamberg connections. ' Operation bf the
measure will benefit/ Charleston, if anything more
than Walterboro and Ehrhardt, as Charleston dealers
will be- given a fair opportunity of establishing bet
ter relations with the trade in Colleton and Bamberg
Counties. . ~ w.
Persons who have had experience with the situa
tion as it has long obtained will certainly approve of
the .measure.
This bill was also the cause of a long debate in the
Senate, and the following is an account taken from
rne of the daily newsapers, and it seems that Senator
Pgdgett had the Senate with him?
Senators Padgett of Colleton and Clifton of Sumter
engaged in a debate that at times was rather heated
today in the senate over a bill by the former that
would require certain Atlantic Coast Line trains to
atop at Green Pond, the local Junction for Walterboro.
The senator from Colleton took exception to certain
ramarks mattb by the senator from Sumter who was
opposing the bill, and made a rather impassioned
speech to the senate. The senator from Sumter reJ
plied in a somewhat heated speech. In concluding
his remarks on the measure, however. Senator OU f -
ton disclaimed any intention of having said anything
that would ha\e reflected in any way on the Colleton
senator.
The itfR, was passed by the senate after some two
and a half or three hours had been consumed in a
discussion of it by the two senators. There, was
only one dissenting vote, that being east by senator
Clifton.

This is true beyond question. There is not now a
vacant house in toiwn. and the demand is great for
some place to live. Some remedy should be found.
Either let someone who has the means erect a num
ber of comfortable homes for rent, or else let us do
the practical thing and organize a building and loan
association and let the people do their own building.
Pamberg has had a successful building and loan as.
sedation in operation for several years, and almost
every town in the up country has one’ or more of
these helpful organizations. It is the easiest way
a poor man can build a home. The amount of money
\pended fof rent will In a few years pay for a home.
In addition to this for the man who does not care to
luild. no better investment can be made than to pay
for a number of shares, in a sound building and loan
association. . \ /
Will not someone undertake the organization of
such an organization for Walterboro and Colleton
county?

TERRIBLY SWOtliN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, ol
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lilting, he in
jured himsclt with a piece of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 1G5 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. lie
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black-
Draught. 1 made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once, lie got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught."
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you
to keep fit, ready for the day's work.
