Following the disastrous flood of July last certain forward looking farmers, 'owning lands adjacent to Kingstree Swamp, instituted a move ment looking forward to the creation of an efficient system of drainage for Kingstree Swamp and the lands which drain-into it. Several meetings were held and a committee, composed of Messrs. W. K. Wilson, J. C. Young, J. W. J. Floyd, S. F. Stuckey and R. B. Fitch were appointed to tAke the work in charge and push it through to a speedy conclusion. These gentle men have conferred in committee several times and as a result of their * activity in the premises a -petition is now being circulated among the land owners, whose lands are to be within and affected by the drainage, ad dressed to the Clerk of the Court of HOW TO CHECKTHAT COLD When it is painful to breathe and fever sends chills up and down your back, you are in for a cold.

The idea, so far, is meetfig $th the almost unanimous approval of:those affected:-. Proposed Distriet: ' The proposed district. is approxi rately' twenty one miles long and three miles wide, obibprising within its confines practically all of theJands which naturally drain inBroad or Kingstree 'Swamup from the ~ point where.It inters into Blaek River, near Kingstre;;in Williamsburg .

PrelhnIuiaty Report. A preliminary investigation has al ready been corducted under the su pervisiongof the committee, working ir colaboratioh. with Mr. F. G. Eason, a United datates- Government Drain age engtfier and his detailed report, submitted to the committee on De cember 2 ad;, last, offers great en couragement to -those in charge of and interested in this progressive en terprise. By this report Mr. Eason estimates that a canal approximate ly fifty feet- wide at the River and approximately nine feet wide. at the terminus near Mimm's Cross Roads and about seven feet deep, following the run of the Swamp will be entirely sufficient to carry all of the water. The proposed excavation would re quire the removal of about five hiun dred .ninety thousans cubic yards of dirt, which could be done for the most part by and with improved ditching and dredging machinery at a cost of about seven cents per cubic yard. This canal would afford a main drain for about forty one thousand acres of land and the estimated cost per acre would not exceed one dollar and ten cents, according to Mr. Eason. He calculates vithin the above cost not only making the exca vation but clearing a Tight of way six feet wide on each, side of the ditch or canal and leveling the earth re moved. It is estimated that the en tire operation, from the time work is actually commenced .until it . is completed, having a due regard for the nature of the swamp and aver age seasons, will not consume more than one year. Cost and Payment. It is estimated that the total cost of the operation will not exceed forty seven thousand dollars, which will be distributed over and . apportioned among the forty one thousand acres affected, which will beclassified ac cording to benefit derived by the Drainage Commissioners. The aver age cost per acre, for the whole ope ration will not exceed one dollar and fifteen cents. This fund is to be de rived by the sale of Bonds, the rate of interest on which shall not exceed six per cent. per annum: The crea tion of a sinking fund with which te retire these bonds dloes not commence until after the expiration of five years from the date of the Bonds and theii run for a period of twenty years. hI other words nothing is paid on the principal for five years. 'To illus trate; suppose you have one hundred acres, class A. lands within the dis tricti. The total assenament against your land would be one hundred and fifteen dollars, payable in twventy equal annual installments, commenc ing five years after the date of the Bond and bearing interest at a rate not greater than six per cent. .per annum-or five dollars and seventy five cents per year for Lwenty years, ciommencing five years after the date of the Bonds and six dollars and ninety cents interest payable annu ally: if the Bonds were sold at six per cent. However, it is vnderstoodl that the F~armers & Merdhants Na tional Bank of Lake City has offered to take the Bonds at even a better rate.' The advantages when considered in connection with, the purely nominal cost, of installation seem to warrant the Immediate installation of this Mystem. The petitions are now being circulated and are being generously signed.
