Another meeting will be held
nex: Monday to try to perfect the
organization of tile Law and Order
league for Williamsburg county.
We hope to see a large attendance
at this meeting, which
should interest every citizen of the
county who favors the better en
forcenu-r.t of our laws. The meeting
will be held in tne court
house at 12 o'clock noon.

A man in Washington, D. C.,
is suing a bank cashier for $10,-1
000 damages, alleging that the;
bauker, to emphasize- an argu-'
meut, hit him with a "bunch of
money." There are about three or
four hundred 'Slow coaches ' on our,
subscription list who are perfectly
at liberty to pelt us with anything
like a "bunch of money," i
from one dollar up. Selah.
Las: week's issue of the Abbeville
Medium contains four
proclamations from Governor Ansel
offering rewards fur "the apprehension.
deliver} and conviction"
of murderers at large from
that county, the crimes having
been committed between 1900 and
1909. It would be interesting to
kuow how many murders were
committed all told during the
period referred to. and what the
authorities of Abbeville were doing
to allow four red-handed
,
murderers to escape.
The Little Gate City.
Florence, the little (late City of
the Pee Dee, did herself proud in
the entertainment given President
Taft, as well as the thousands of
strangers within her gates on Monday
and Tuesday. It was a pretty
big undertaking for a town the
size cf Florence to take care of
so big a crowd and give all a
good time, but the citizens [practically
formed themselves into a
corn Jiittce of the whole to see that
no visitor lacked attention. It
is only by such enterprise, backed
by the concerted action of its
people, that a town or a community
can accomplish things worth
while.
The Pee Dee convention was an
occasion icng to be remembered,
and among the crowds that
thronged the little city, we feel
sure that nom* went away with
other that. a dec}* feeling of kindness
for Florence ami her hospitable
people.
Not Overstocked.
It has been bronght to our attention
that the article published
in our news columns last weeV
with reference to the county dispensary
stocks on hand and lia
bilities is misleading, at least so
fur as this county is concerned.
The clerk of the Williamsburg
dispensary board informs us that tile
liabilities of the dispensaries in this
county on October 1 amounted to
but t?. r that debt
There was cash deposited in banks
amounting to about On
November 1, there was on hand
and in the three dispensaries about
*7,000 worth of liquor, which at
the present rate of celling will be
nearly all closui out by No win
ber 15. Moreover, we are further
[informed that at the winding up
of the business there will be somei
thing like $10,000 to be turned
? '
joter to the towns and the county.
The article referred to was pub'
t
lished in several of the daily papers
and was supposed to be based
; on data obtained from Auditoi
West in Columbia.
I
Letter to a Farmer Boy.
*
No man ever makes a big success
' in anything, by accident. If some!
body has stuffed your head with
[ the idea that men succeed in this
world by luck, you may just put it
down that somebody doesn't know
what he is talking about. Whether
you are going to be a farmer or a
College president, \ou must fit yourself
for whatever you are going to
be.
No matter what sort of work you
are doing, try to do it a little
better than the other fellow.
Emerson says somewhere that if a
man can do anything supremely
well, no matter if he live in a
wilderness, the world will make a
beaten path to his door. And this
is very true. I rode the other day
to see a farmer who lives not many
>miles from where I am writing and
found that the Governor of the
State had just been there to see
his corn crop, and a great number
of other men had come miles and
miles to see this man's farm. And
why? Simply because he had done
more with an acre than any other
man in the comity. .
If your brother wants to go tc
to.vn to clerk in a store and measure
calico U3 somebody else's hired
man, let him go. You Stay on the
farm where you can be independent,
living under your own vine
and tig tree, and where you car
take part in all these great movements
that are going to count foi
so much in human progress aud
in the world's development these
next fifty years.
We have had too many farmer
boys already, who have made secondrate
merchants and clerks, win
might have made prominent farmers
and men of influence in their connties.
It is a great deal better and mori
honorable to raise Southern meal
than it is to sell Western meat.
It is a great deal better and more
useful to be a leader in showing
how to make more cotton per acri
tliau it is to merely measure off i
certain uumber of yards of cottor
goods when a buyer wants it.
Don't give up the independence oi
furni life. In the city shops and
stores only a small proportion ol
the workers own their own homei
or have any chance to do work that
counts for much ia these great progressive
movements we have been
; discussiLg. The boy who is shul
up in a factory in the South ha;
only one chance of usefulness and
independence for twenty that you
and other farmer boys have.?Ral
