Stand by Your Town.

We owe 1t to the community in
which we live to do everything We
we can in every way possible that
will be to its advantage. Our neigh
boris prosperity means great deal
more to US than someone's who lives
elsewhere. We should bear this in
mind in buying our goods. We can
afford to pay our home man 4 firm
price for his wares rather than send
our money away, knowing as We do
that every dollar our own citizen
makes will help in sustaining oul
schools, churches and public insti
tutions. 1t pays richly to patro
nize home industry.

by Rabid Pet Dog.

Four children of Mr.. z. w. Kerr,
who live in the Prospect neighboT-

that rhe animal was undoubtedly
mad, and Mr.. Kerr left for Raleigh
to place his four children in tn2 IN
stitute for treatment.
1t is stated that mule, COW. pig
and a number OF chi.'.en.. were also
bitten by the canine and much eon-
cern is felt in the neig1borlopi over
this fact. Mr.. Kerr was advised oy
the State chemist to kill all the aui-
mails bitten by the dog.

TELEPHONE DIRECTORY.
The New One Has Been Delivered
to Subscribers.

to SuDSCr1DeIS.
The new directory of the South
ern Bell Telephone Company has
been delivered to the subscribers IN
Orangeburg by Manager M. E. Mat
thews. The new directory is attrac-
tive in appearance and contains all
the changes and corrections in list
ings that have been made since the
last directory was printed.
The number Of new names appear
ing in the list would indicate that
there are constant additions to the
number of subscribers in Orange
burg and vicinity and the telephone
development is continuous.
The Southern Bell Company mas
evolved a plan whereby 1t furnish.
es telephone service to farmers and
the rural residents on an economf
cal basis. AS result the telephone
is now the rule, rather than the ex'
ception on the farm, and farmers
in all sections of the State are in
stalling telephones in their homes.

CENSUS PRELIMINARY WORK.
Enumerators Will Get Busy on No.
yember First.

With the coming of November, the
preliminary work for the taking of
the thirteenth census will be gotten
under way, though the work of emu
meration will not begin until later.
Considerable work of preliminary
kind is required before the real work
of the census can begin, and this is
the part OF the work that will be
taken up on November l.
One of the most important things
to be done is to name the enumera-
tors who are to be the first hand
work of the census-taking. There
are large numbers Of applicants on
file for these places in this district
and it will require some time to COM
plete this work alone. This will
be done as early as possible in or
der that the enumerators may have
an opportunity to become acQuaint-
ed with the details Of the work.
The next census will be taken on
April, instead Of June /, as the GUS
tom has been hitherto. The official
fore engaged in the taking Of the
census will be greatly enlarged for
the coming census enumeration. 1t
Is estimated that the total number
Of employees, including both enumera-
tors and supervisors, will approx
mate $4,000. The total cost Of TAX
ing the census will likely reach as
high as s14,000,000.
The Constitution of the United
States requires that census be TAX
en- every ten years. The first census
was taken in 1890 under the super
vision of the president; subsequent
censuses to and including that of
1910, were taken under the super
vision of the Secretary of State. In
1S49 the supervisor of the census
was transferred to the supervision
of the newly organized department of
the interior, and continued under
the control of that department until
the passage of the act of 1903 Gre
ating the Department Of Commerce
and Labor. BY this act the census
office was transferred to the super
vision Of the new department. Con-
gress, by act approved March 6, 1902,
made the census Office q permanent
bureau Of the government.
The work Of census taking is not
confined to the enumeration OF per-
sons but has reference also to the
taking of vital statistics such as re-
ports on manufactures. agriculture.
the insane and fesble-minded, deaf,
dumb and blind, crime, pauperism,
deaths and births in reg
istration areas, social statistics of
cities, wealth, debt and taxation, re-
ligious bodies, electric light and pow
er, telephones and telegraphs, trans-
portation by water. street railways,
express companies, and mines and
mining. From this 1t may be seen
what a colossal task the census-tak-
ing is.
The new census law makes 1t the
duty of citizens to answer to, the best
of their knowledge all legitimate
questions asked by the census Of
ficials concerning any phase of the
census work. This point is more
clearly dealt with in the new law
than 1t has ever been before. The
same thing Is true of corporations
and the officials who are at the head
Of these organizations.

which one claimed the other owed
and the other as strenuously denied
Both claiming directly opposite in the
matter in dispute, the atmosphere got
warmer and warmer until finally
things got entirely too hot to brook
the laws delay, and with an appeal
to he arbitrament of nations. the
creditor proceeded to collect, vi ct
armis, with his fists, full satisfaction
from the debtor. But the debtor ar
gued the matter very skillfully with
punch and counter punch and after
brief, but busy set-to, mix-up and en-
gagement, both combatants retired
from the field,somewhat battered, but
neither damaged. The casus belli
cause of dispute, the owe or don't owe

went his way in opposite directionc
was, You got to pay me dat dollar"
