uated at Wofford College in 1817, j
taught school for several years, was j
v admitted to the bar in 1901 and be- y
gan practicing law at Kingstree,. \
In 1904 he was elected to the Leg- 1
t
islature In 1908 was elected Solicitor j
of Third Judicial Circuit, re-elected i
in 1912 over opposition and again in [
1916, v ith-out opposition. When war t
was declared he offered his sendees j *
. c
and in the fall of 1917 he received an
appointment with the rank of Major
in the Judge Advocate General's Department;
on October 1st 1917 he t
resigneu as Solicitor and reported to i '
Boston for active service. He served ' <
as Judge Advocate of the Northeast- i1
ern Department for some ten months' ;
when he was transferred to Camp1 j
Devens and assigned to the 12th
regular Division; soon thereafter he 1
i *
was promoted to the rank of Lieut- i
Colonel, he was honorably discharg- t
I

For nine year Colonel Stoll was x
County Chairman of the Democratic (^

He has for a number of years t
been President of the Kingstree! *
Board of Trade and in many other1!
ways connected with orginizations j J
for the betterment of his community, j
He is not "swell-headed". Rather j j
modest and reserved, yet his activi-; t
ties in all matters of public interest!
! i
have been marked. He has never c
failed to respond to a call to serve 1 ?
his fellow citizens. j J
Phillip H. Stoll has been weighed jN
* i
in the scale of efficiency and was, c

There seems to be a dearth of candidates
for offices to be filled by,1

nomination at the municipal primary; (
election on Tuesday August 26. The j s
' offices t'? be filled are: Mayor, one [
Commissioner of Public Works and ! 1
five Aldermen. It is distressing to j ij
see such a lack of interest in this j \
important matter on the part of!

Tobacco And The Reformer.-*
If the Wets really believe that the
Drys are now sharpening their tomatawks
in preuar ?vion for a determined
attempt to get the scalp of Lady
\'icotine they will do well not to,
make too much of a clamor ab?-utiti
it once. Should they expose at this I
lime a plan of the Drys to send Lady j
N'icitine to the same place where
John Barleycorn now languishes
they may cause the Drys to abandon:
this new project; and that would be
ibout the worst thing that could hap-;
pen from the viewpoint of the Wets,
rhere are a great many people who.
A'hile they would not lift a finger in
Dehalf of J. Barleycorn, will fight
like wildcats in defense of Lady N;c)ci:ie.
Should the become convinced
it this stage that the same ardent
eformers who have abolished liquor
ire now planning to abolish tobacco,
they will show their teeth so impressively
that the reformers, perceiving
liscretion to be the better part of
valor, might well abandon their projected
anti-tobacco crusade. And this,
is just now remarked, would be a
calamity from the point of view of
;he Wets.
For John Barleycorn's best hope of
it least a partial restoration to his
throne obviously lies in the extension j
>f radical prohibitionist activity to
lew fields with the powerful reacion
which this would bo sure to provoke.
Let the prohibitionists really
set to work to outlaw smoking by
onstitutional amendment and the
end of the Great Drought will be in
sight. But if this is to happen the
conspiracy against Lady Nicotine
nust be real and not faked, it must
>e actual and not merely projected.
l'he anti-prohibitionists must be able j
\o convince the country that such a
conspiracy really exists, that the
same forces and influences which
lave outlawed liquor are really uniertaking
to outlaw tobacco.
We doubt whether the country can
ie convinced of this at this time.

strong, the reformers have not gone
:ar enough with their anti-tobacco
jlans?provided they have any. If
;he Wets are good strategists they
vill not do anything at this stage
vhich might deter the reformers
from carrying out those plans?
igain, provided such plans exist. On
;he contrary, they will pretend to be
ooking the other way so that thealeged
plotters against Lady Nicotine
nay be encouraged to draw their
iaggers and lift their hands to strike,
rhen, and not till then, will the Anas
emit a wild yell and, drawing
jack the curtain, bid the public gaze!

0 I,
Men of Williamsburg County ;
I
In representing the timber and'
;ie department of the Atlantic Coast1
l.ine Railroad, I wish through the;
ourtesy of The County Record to
?a!l your attention to the urgent
ieed for crossties.
The output of this material, so
iuduiui*uv uu nit* j
ind efficient working of our roads.;
ia< fallen to a dangerously low point, i
Large quantities of ties are needed
this fail and winter and the highest
prices ever known are being of-\
"ered by the Company.
Although the splendid primeval
"o'.'csts of Williamsburg county have
)een largely cut, fortunately its I
voodlands still abound in many va- \
ieties of timber suitable for ties.
In addition to limited quantities oi
vhite oak and heart pine and large j
juantities of heart cypress, whose
inequalled qualities for railroad use
ire known to all, an abundant sup>lv
of so called inferior timbers, sap J
>ine, shortleaf pine, ash, hickory,; (
naple, elm, hackberry, beech, birch, J,
ind many varieties of oak are found I
;hroughout the eastern counties of j,
South Carolina.
These varieties, although regarded j,
is unsuitable in the past are now be-!
ng readily accepted by the rial road
idministration. (
Let every tie cutter, every farm'r
and every timber land owner who
s in a position to do so, assist in ]
his vital and important work.
I say vital, for is it not vital to ]
>very one that our crops, (the great- (
;st and most valuable in history)
ihould be moved with promptitude
md dispatch, is it not vital that the
nerchandise and necessities on which
ve depend, should be delivered in
food order to oui warehouses and
>ur homes, is it not vital that each
ind everv one when on a iourney
ihould be carried in safety to their j (
oum< y's end. Of a truth it is vital i
ndced and assuredly it is important, i
It cannot be done, however, with;
he all pervading thoroughness which 1
his imperative need requires and |
teserves, without the co-operation
tnd assistance of the people.
In assisting the railroads your are <
>roinot!ng your own welfare and j
afety. and assisting yourselves,
fherefort, let everyone who can '
telp rally to this call. 1
Let all that are interested write 11
o the Timber and Tie Department!>f
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad,
iVilmington, N. C? and they will
tear of something very important
tnd something very much to their
id vantage.
G. F. Ogilvie.
We g ive publicity to the above for
he Denen* 01 our reauers wno
lave a quantity of tie timber which
hey may wish to got rid of for u
onsiueration that may prove prod>
ible. It will be noted that the Raiload
Company is now willing to ac- i
ept ties cut from varieties of t'm>er
that have heretofore been re- j
tardeti as practically unfit for c ross- i
ies. aiu; of which our swamps J
l bound. I
