Employed in the Low Country and What It Means to People---Conway Leads the State in the Number ? of Artesian Wells Dr H W Twitchell, State Geologists, visited Furman in Hampton county recently in order to inspect the deep well which has just been completed there. This well is 085 feet deep. The diameter of the boring is 3 inches and a line How of excellent water exceeding 150 gallons per minuie is now rewarding the progressive citizens of Far man. The well is owned by the town and cost about$l,000. Waterworks will be installed in t he near future so that every house in Furman will have its supply of this pure, wholesome artesian water. When the water bearing stratum was reached and the powerful 3 inch stream came out 1 -"i"4' /-in!to n number of lb UrUUt^uu uiv^u^ ijuivv. ? small shells and a lot of shark's teeth, thus proving in a very striking way that Hampton county and the adjacent regions in times past was covered by the ocean long enough to allow the deposits of majiue sediments to accumulate to a depth of nearly 1,000 feet or more. In all there are over twenty live of these wells in Hampton county. Wells in Other Counties. There are artesian wells in nearly all of the counties in the lower part of the State, Williamsburg seems' f to be the banner county, having over forty well6 200 feet or more in depth, most of them ranging between 200 and 400 feet. At Lake City there are more than fifteen wells Georgetwon has a good manv. most of them being between | 400 and 600 feet deep. The Atlantic Coast Lumber Co., at Georgetown, has eight or more for its own use, all between 500 and 600 feet ^ deep. The deepest wells of the State are those at Orangeburg, depth 1,160 feet, Florence, 1,215 feet Marion, depth 1,244, Sullivan's Island, Fort Moultrie, depth 1,808* Port Royal, Naval Station, depth 1,640 and Charleston, depth 1,260 to 2,000. The Charleston wells have the distinction of being the deepest and the first wells of this type to0 attract wide attention in this conn try. Although attempts had been made as early as 1808, the first successful well at Charleston was bored in 1876 on the "Citadel Green," its depth being 1,970 feet. A number of deep wells have been bored in the Piedmont counties, their depth ranging from 400 to 800 feet; but the under ground conditions under ^ which these wells exist dilTer radically from those of the coast plain counties, the obtaining of water being in the nature of a happy accident, whereas in the latter case the chances of success are much greater. Value of Artesian Wells. According to Dr v Twifcchcll it would be ditlioult to overestimate the value of a good artesian well to a community or to an individual property owner. From the standpoint of public health, how much it means to have as a Source of water supply a deep well of the coastal plain type, whoso water has traveled deep underground lor from 20 to * 60 miles so that it is absolutely sure of being pure! Unfortunately this cannot be said of the deep wells in the Piedmont region, as their wator ' may have come through cracks in the rocks from the surface in the neighborhood of the opening, as was proven in the case of the 2,000 feet well at Atlanta, Georgia. The water of the coastal plain wells is not from streams running from under ground cracks but from saturated porous layers of sand dipping somewhat toward the sea and extending for great distances along the coast and inland from the coast. Many . places noted as being unhcalthful have been changed completely on having a few artesian wells. Then, a faxxr Slir.h wolls I/ivGS all Q^WIU^ Ml & v vt .. _ ^ _ the needed water fcr domestic purposes, manufacturing purposes and fire protection and the value of this in the developing of a town is of the first importance. Irrigation. v To the farmer an artesian well will not only be a blessing as a source of water for drinking and domestic pur pose and for watering his stock but with a moderate expenditure for ditches or better still for piping he can irrigate his farm and be protected against droughts as we have had this summer. One farmer in Beaufort county has done this so he can spray from bis pipes directly 9 | upon his crops and is reaping a gol! den harvest. ? ? ... l.i Dr Twitched said that ne wouio be ready at all times, in his capacity as State Geologist, to give advice without charge to any ei'izm of the State as to th? chance of get-ting a . successful well, how deep it should I be and the probable cost. \ Thirty Years Together. Thirty years of association?think of it. How tbemoritof a good thing stands out in that time?or the worthlessness of a bad one. There is no guess work in this evidence of Thos Ariss, Corcord, Mich., who writes: J have used Dr km# siNew Discovery for 80 years, and its the best cough and cold cure I have ever used."

We wish to submit a few facts worthv of your consideration. From July 20th to August 1st, we sold 41 per cent of all the tobacco sold in Mullins, which only lacked a small fraction of sell in# half, and from July 20th to Augustlst we averaged $8.80 ])er thousand pounds more than the total average of the market. On one million pounds of tobacco, at our same increased average. we would pav to bur customers $3,800 00 above the total avera#e of the market. We made this record on the commonest tobacco in the crop, and with the same effort on #ood tobaccos we hope to do a great deal better, Tobacco is selling better this week than at any time since the market opened.

Tn fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little lighters are overcome, Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail.
