That question settled, there will be the usual rush to secure lots. Atlanta, Birmingham, Norfolk and other cities which have but little advantage over Columbia in point of population, or prospects of future growth, have already advanced the value of choice suburban property to prices ranging from $40 to $125 per foot front, and the time is not remote when Columbia's choice suburb will be held at correspondingly high values. We therefore most confidentially expect College Place lots to appreciate very rapidly in value, claiming as the following reasons will justify that it is -T 1.1 i. _ 1 ii r L.* LI ? snurwy to uecome ine iasmonauit; suburb of this* growing city. Lots now selling at $7.50 per foot front should bring $10 next year and $20 per foot front within five years, and not less than $50 per foot front within 10 years. These estimates are very conservative supported by the following correct observations. First. Its location north of the city is the direct path of the natural growth of the city. Second. It is situated on an elevation 55 feet above the city, having Negroes "Will Han? Friday. Ned and Brack Toland have only two more day9 in which to prepare to meet their maker. On Friday next, between the hours of ten and two, they will be led to the scaffold by one of the bravest sheriffs that ever held this high office in South Carolina. Sheriff Corley will bring the prisoners over from Columbia on the early morning train Friday, which is due to arrive at 7:30. They will at once be locked in the jail, where they will be kept until the hour of execution. The hanging will be strictly private, as Sheriff Corley will see that the lnm fViia r\n?f i Atil n? ia nnmn /\?if law xii iiiio jjdi uv;uiai to uau icu uuu iu the letter. He has had hundreds of applications for admittance, and while the Sheriff would like to have the hanging public, the law says not, and he will follow the law at any and all hazards. It is quite likely that the prisoners will be accompanied from Columbia by a very strong guard, as was the case when they were brought here for trial. Ifet Awful Deatli. Laurens, April 25.?Mr. Edwin Hill, a young man of the Cross Hill section, was killed yesterday afternoon in a ino9t horrible manner. He was ploughing in a field some distance from his fathers's home and, it is presumed, unhitched his mule from the plough, mounted it and rode toward a spring for water. The mule ran away with the young man, throwing him and dragging him all around the field and through the wood9. The tracks in the vicinity show that the animal was headed towards the spring and also that the body of Mr. Hill was dragged for a considerable distance. The mule went to the house about dark and, of course, caused fears on on the part of the family. A party went out in search of young Hill and at 11 o'clock found him in an uncon- i scious state near the field where he I had been ploughing. His body was horribly cut and mangled, beaten almost to pieces against the trees and rocks. He never regained consciousness and died last night at 2 o'clock. Mr. Hill was a hard working, industrious young man, 18 years of age. He was a son of Mr. J. C. Hill, of Cross Hill, and a member of one of the largest families in the county. Money to Lend.

This is a most important factor in selecting a location for a home. Third. It being beyond the city limits, a saving of about two percent, is made on taxes. Fourth. The improvements far excel those in the older portion of the city, and are now soon to be completed at no additional cost to the lot owner. These improvements, being of the most artistic and substantial character, argue most convincingly in favor of College Place becoming the select residential suburb of Columbia. Fifth. The splendid Columbia College is a permanent and substantial structure, and destined to exert a j most wonderful influence in drawing i to that locality the be t class of purchasers. The culture and refining influence of this institution will count i for very much in t&e advancement of j College Place values. Reasons may be multiplied indefi- j nitely for locating at College Place, , and it should be noted that it costs j no more to erect a dwelling in a ! choice location than in an inferior ; one, and the difference in the out- j come is as wide as the poles.
