~ murai MOT. A VERY PROSPEROUS AND RAPiDLY DEVELOPING COUNTY. . As Potrayed in the Eollowing Columns , It is Marked as One of tne Banner , Counties of the State. A splendid country, this broad,! beauiiiul and fertile country of Williamsburg, with its clear -? ~ c /"\ i 1 ^ .)ir H | (i . , SI rtNUIl>, j;cuciuur> .--iiii.-, ........... . cent lbrcst, genial climate, unequalled society and grand agricul-j tural possibilites. A region that embraces more of j the elements of cheap, independement and enjoyaale human lie-1 ing and offering more to the itivester and enterprising settler than any other county in South Carolina. The wealth of soil and capabili ; ties of'product ion have long since; characterized it as the k,desirable poriion" of the Palmetto state. TIMBKKThere are magnificent forest of j short and long leaf pine, red and white post oak, fine cypress espec iallv, ash walnut, etc. The tim' e being utilized by some of the finest nii'ls in South Carolina. SOIL. The soil of Williamsburg county is varied, being composed of red, lands, gray sandy, black sandy, black sticky land in some portions, all very productive. The surface is genera'lv rolling and is well wooded. Cypress and an abun dance of other woods abound. WATER SIPPLY. The county is plentifully supplied with water for all purposes. An abundance of excellent water can be secured by ARTESIAN WE ELS at a depth of from 112 to 350 feet, j This is a blessing that but few counties -can boast of. and the citizens of Williamsburg should , take advantage o this "work of j, God," by utilizoig the wells for irrigating purposes, and thereby! increase the natural production; per ce,Nt. Wells are being bored in all parts of the count v and the I HEALTH wis never known to be better./ That dread monster, malarial fe-15 ver, has been forced to seek other 1 territory, for it can not, live where : such pure artesian water is to be j found, "health is wealth," and ' happy for us our diseases are mild ' 1 a m.. i i... _i_:n t ami easily mauageu uy uui muji ed physicians. ' TRICKING. ' Having a climate and soil that are adapted to the trucking inter- ; est, our farmers are making a great 1 mistake in not following this industry more closely. Being near 1 the Northern markets and having! such excellent railroad facilities, the peerless through freight of the Atlantic Coast Line, here is in deed a Klondike for lhe farmer.!1 SOCIETY. It is indeed an erroneous idea that the people of the North have j the advantage of the state of so j1 cietv in this section of South Carolina. Here are advantages unex celled, our citizens are trustworthy, law abiding, and having such ; an excellent SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS, under such able management as Prof. X D Lesesne, our society can be none other than lirst class. CHURCHES. I Our country is well supplied with all denominations, occupying large, commodious ond comfortable edifices. POPULATION. The population of the county is between 27,000 and 30,000. LANDS. Improved lands sell from $2 to $10 per arcre; unimproved from $1 to $3 per acre. Nowhere in South Carolina can better or more fertile lands be obtained at such prices.) Notice. We have on hand for sale a quanity of 4,unknown" pease. Will be glad to supply any one wanting them. ( ooper Bros., Fowlers, S. C. i | Our I s and.... ( i ....Other Eyes. \ J Our I's are just as strong as 5 1 they were fifty years ago, when J 2 we have cairse to use them. > / But we have less and less cause f i to praise ourselves, since others | t do the praising, and we are ' i ' more than willing for you to see I | us through other eyes. This i I is how we look to S. F. Boyce, j i wholesale aud retail druggist, ]' 1 Duluth, Minn, who after a S \ quarter of a century of obser- \ 5 vatiou writes: 11 r "I have sold Ayer'9 Sarsapa- | ( rilla for more than 25 years, 1 ', both at wholesale and retail, 1 | and have never heard anything ( 1 but words of praise from my f 1 | customers; not a single com- I V plaint has ever reached me. I V I believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla to f 1 be the best blood purifier, that 1 \ has been introduced to the gen- \ I eral public." This, from a ' I man who has sold thousands of ,1 I dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I j is strong testimony. But it 1 only echoes popular sentiment 1 I the world over, which has, J \ "Nothing but w ords of praise > ) for Ayer's Sarsaparilla." f 1 Any doubt about It?

Spanish advices report no dama: e done. June 11: A detachment ol Marines 000 strong has landed at (juantinamo, about 40 miles from Santiago, and the stars and stripes now wave over that city. This is said to be an excellent base of operations for the American army. June 11: Orders have been issued for the embarking of ti e army of invasion immediately. June 12: The President will appoint about 200 second lieufen mis, graduates of State military academies being preferred. June 13: The first army of invasion to Cuba is now well on its a-ay. Thirty-two transport steam diips, bearing 15,000 officers ant men, left Key West this morning U daybreak. June 13: It is stated by the foreign press that Spain is now for peace on any terms. She realizes that her fight is a hopeless 3tie, and that the sooner the war leases the better for her. Any peace proposal that does not em anate from the enemy win ue ac cepted. However, tiie international mediation which would be especially welcome on the part ot Spain would be in the case of the initiative being taken by Austria or France. Jan 13: Gen. Lee has been in" St meted to prepare an army of lorty thousand men to move on IIavanaa. The proposed army it is bought can be raised in thirty days.

Once he was safely u ? *11 on this side of the Atlantic, of e course he had to be got out of the way before tlie real business of ending the war by solar-plexus i blows could be prosecuted. After wasting twenty three days on Cervera we had the good fortune, thanks to the genius of |,( Lieut. Ilobson, to transform him a | from a lively menace into a Jielj)- h less corpse. Cervera is dead, and he knows it. We "put him out of the way" and don't know it. Instead of goi' g about our business, here we are kicking and stabbing away at the corpse with t ludicrous ferocity. e Anything to prolong the war. c Anything, even clownish dancing v on Cervera's grave, to save our- ? selves from the necessity of really t doing something. i The storming of Santiaca would F be ghost-dancing, not war.

However, this T j' bit of depressive news is partly re( moved by the statement that one " > of the lieutenants with the party i "wore the uniform of a light brown crash." Crash has a military sound f at last, and as it was about the only war word in the Post's account we dwell upon it and shall remember o it. 3 In the mean time,as this grand ! special train rests in Tampa, while I lie general of the army occupies a a j suite of rooms at the best hole], it v 1 would be ungracious to recall that some of the North Carolina vol- 1 unteers are about barefooted and a without uniforms and guns.? j Asheville Citizen.
