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

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,

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

writes: J have used Dr km# siNew

Tobacco Growers.
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. We v/ill make
i& to your interest to sell wit., us.

Attack Like Tiger.
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. This condition demands Electric
Bitters to regulate stomach,
liver and kidneys and to expel poisons
from the blood. "They are the
best blood purifier," writes C T
Budahn, of Tracy, Calif., "1 have
ever found." They make rich, red
blood, strong nerves and build up
your health. Try them. 50 cents
