Town lots aro as cheap now as they ever will bo in Laurens, and nothing call pay better than to buy and improve timm. It lu true wo have a boom, but lt is not of ail ephemeral nature, but the result of natural advantages and Increased rail road facilities, which makes it perma nent. The great improvement made in our town in thc past fow years has boon forced lipon us; but such an awakening hus been made that we sci? tho possibili ties of tho future, and those far-seeing business men who are ever on the alert, graaplngfor new territory, aitUthose who come Ural will reap the greatest harvest.

C., Oct. 1st, 1885. Mu. EDITOR:-Allow mo a short space in your much valued paper. 1 value it for its independence, ami that it dares to speak out on issues before tho connt ry, before consulting the popullar mimi, ami advocates matters of progress bold ly ami fearlessly. My purpose is to urge upon our pooplo tho importance of drainage. Thors is no question in which the prosperity of Mouth < karolina is so much concerned as tho drainage of Otir low and wet lands; not only as a source of wealth, bul as a hygienic inoasure. lu our State aro thousands of acres of river and creek lands lying waste and uncultivated, of tho greatest fertility, as rieh as Missis sippi bottoms, which aro now valueless so far us productiveness is concerned and are also hot-beds ol' malaria. This should not be so. Il eau and should be drained. Tho convict labor increasing so rapidly in our State, could not lie moro profitably or well employed than in re Olalmlng said lands, under tho Super intendant ami penitentiary guards, as they are worked ii. North Carolina and other States on railroads, most success fully. I know there is a slowly sentimentality prevailing in Souih Carolina, gotten up mostly l>v the*newsnapora and peniten tiary officials, that they should be worked alone in the pointentiary; that tho poor "creatures should bo doab very gently with, ?md kept in the peni tentiary to enrich a few Yankee con tractors, making stockings, shoes, Ac, to bc scattered over t he country, at low prices, to compete with the labor of our honest mechanics. Then again, the op ponents of letting them outside for Rail road purposes and drainage, aro aspi rants, or friends of thu officials who on loy rich, fal offices without much labor. Let* those officials amt their guards, (many sons of our gentry) go out into our swamps ami reclaim them and tit them for tho husbandman. Wo must come to this policy. Brain, ditch and level our alluvial lauds, tho expenso ioho paid by tho land-owners, by convict labor under Ibo immediate supervision of ibo officers and guards ol' t bc penitent iary. Thc pbm ? suggest is entirely practi cable, feasible, and in every way most dosi rabie for the wealth and health of tho country, and well-being also of the poor convicts. That it issu, I point to Worrior Creek, in Laurens County, ditched by convict labor a few years ago. It ls IIOW thc little Hgypt of Lau rens County, (iii plantations which be fore the drainage did not make eoril enough to food anil support Ibo place, this year the vield will ho from 9000 lo :t.R>U0 bushels ot* corn, and many places in like ratio. This region produced chills and fever in anv quantity, and often enough to interfere groatly with gather ing tho cotton crop; now its health ls unparalleled. These arc facts I know, coming under m v observation ns a phy sician ami agriculturist. 1 hope our people will arouse from the apathy which has so long possssed them, and look to their true interests. I,et no maudlin philanthropy or desire to pam? por and enrich a few lucky officials* In their places of ease and newer, stein the spirit of progress ami reform.
