DRAIN THE BLACK
BAYOU

When we read in the daily press
Of the movement started IN other
sections of this great Delta to drain
our swamp lands we believe our
planters. who own the lands in the
Black Bayou district, are making a
mistake by not organizing themselves
into a drainage district and starting
this work at once The small cost
per acre to drain these lands as cs-
tinaated by the Government is not d
drop in the bucket compared with
the increase in values for the owners
these lands will go to when drained,
besides the millions of dollars that
viii come from the fine timber now
on It. and, further, the new business
it viii give our cites and towns.
Washington comfy or its citizens
do not want to lag behind in the
great march of progress going on in
this land of ours today, and they
should take UP the work of draining
these lands before the new year

THE TIMES

Ihe Times object III putting on
It's Jamestown contest for the work
ing girls of the county was mostly
to- give three Of these young ladies
an outing that their financial circum-
stances would not allow but their
health demanded If it was in our
power we would give every contes-
tant trip, but this is impossible
There was also another object we
had in putting on this contest, that
at the present means more than mon
ey to us, and that was placing The
Times in nearly every home in the
city and as many in this and adjoin.
ing counties as possible In other
words the building up of our circula-
ton SO that we can have circulation
equal to any paper in the state, and
for this reason get better rates for
our advertising, which as a result
guarantees to you a better paper and
to us dollars in the future
SO, beginning Monday we have de-
cided to make each coupon five
votes, the votes for advertising and
job work to remain the same, but the
number of votes for a paid in advance
subscription for one year we will
increase to 400, for six months 200.
for old subscriptions 800, for six
months $50, less time in proportion.

CHEAPER
INSURANCE

Greenville should have a cheaper
insurance rate The small fire losses
justly it, the heavy expenditure the
city has gone 10 for a paid fire de-
partment, second. to none in the state,
and the big pumps now being in
stalled at the water works, demand
it.
Today the citizens are suffering
more from the insurance tax than tie
personal and realty tax The pro-
missed reduction in our insurance has
failed to materalize and the city
council at its next meeting and the
city's new Business League should
take this matter up and see if a re-
duction can't be secured
It is sure thing that unless .he
city asks for a reduction they will
never get it and we have stood It
long enough now. We have paid in
to the insurance companies Golfers
more of our hard coin than we should
have done and il is now time to be-
gin the fight for fair and honest rate
they are due to give the city.
We belive that the insurance agents
of the city will not only recommend
a reduction but will use their inf:1~
ence with their respective companies
to help the city get it. Cheaper in
surance the city demands, and cheap
er Insurance it must have

A QUIET
ELECTION
250oo IN 1910

The election IS over and as re-
suit Washington county has selected
competent set Of officials to look
after its affairs during the next four
years. They are ali honorable gem
tlemcn and will measure up in abil-
ity to those Of any other county in
the state.
1t was as quiet an election as we
ever witnessed. The only issue Of
any consequence was the fight made
upon the Hon Van B. Boddie, for
the legislature, but his overwhelming
victory over his opponents who fav-
ored future dealings, settles forever
Washington county's sentiment on
the future gambling question, and
gives his anti-future gambling bill
the only support he needed to pass
it By the next legislature, which The
Times hopes to see.
To the vanquished The Times wish
es to say: you made a noble, honor
able and honest fight. and while you
lost, don't become discouraged but
show to- the world that YOU have the
manhood and courage to turn defeat
into victory. The darkest hours in
ones life IS often just before The
dawn of success, and the man or men
who defeated you in one battle often
prove your strongest supporters in
another.

Men Who Do Things.
Nashville American. j

There are many men in this country who
do a vast deal for their communities who
never get any credit for it. There are
many other men who do little or nothing,
but who manage, by self advertisement, to
make people think that they are wonder
workers and public benefactors. We have
in our minds eye many men who are help
ing to build up the South, who are aiding
in the development of its latent resources,
who are patriotic and public-spirited in
every fibre OF their being, but who are
often subjected to unjust criticism by the
vicious and unthinking. Often these en-
ergetic, unostentatious empire builders feel
the shafts thrown at them, but that does
not lessen their efforts to help in the de-
velopment of their sections. They realize
that most men who do things may expect
criticism, because, there are always more
nom buiiders than builders, and the non-
builders are constitutionally envious. But
the men who do things are all over the
South, and even the shafts of the envious
cannot forever deprive them of their just
place IN the hall of fame.
