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

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

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.)

', both at wholesale and retail, 1
| and have never heard anything (
1 but words of praise from my f

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 >

v Concerning the War.
June 10: Despatches have been
received stating that the Americans
to day bombarded Daiquiri.
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.

By kind-hearte.l Iv refusing to
take Porto Ii!co anil Havana in '
the first week of the war we
brought upon ourselves the bother
anJ trouble which Cervera has li
caused us. 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

uniformed staff. We are a bit fi
ne vous as we read that Gen.
Miles's special car is a luxurious 1
affair, the rear of it arranged for
observation purposes and the rest $
divided into compartments for
| sleeping and for serving meals; Bj
Why the rear only? 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
