THE OIL MILL CO
Soon to Commence Building? A
Land and Improvement Enterprise.
Without any flourish of trumpets
the executive committee of the
Williamsburg Oil Mill is moving
forward and steadily and suiely
pushing its plans to completion.
The location that was first fixed
upon having been deemed unsuitable,
the committee chose another
site for the building. The plant of
the oil mill will be erected on the
west side of the railioad, just opposite
the depot. From the standpoint
i of convenience it>would be difficult
' to find a more desirable location.
We understand that all the machinery
has been ordered and the contract
for the building will soon b*
i let out.
Just in this connection we are
informed that a land and improve[
ment company has been formed and
it has purchased about 50 acres
adjacent to the oil mill property,
which will be cut up into bnlldijitf
lots and sold to homei
seekers at a moderate price. Everyone
in town realizes how difficult it
is to secure lots for building purposes,
which state of things has long
retarded the growth of the town.
The effort on the part of our enterprising
business men looking to the
removal of this condition is most
commendable and will doubtless result
in the material growth and development
of the town.

RAVAGES OF CONSUMPTION.
Colored People Said to be Fast
Dying Out in This County.
The negro seems to be peculiarly
subject to the ravages of consumption.
The governor yesterday received
from Mr J Davis Carter of
Leo, Williamsburg county, a letter
telling of the alarming condition
among the negroes in that county.
The letter has been referred to the
State board of health through the
secretary, Dr James Evans of Florence.
In his communication, Mr
Carter, who was formerly a member
? ^ 1.-.1 4-? ?am/1 fn llio nrnvfii*
UI LUC IL'glSlillUlC, M1U IV l/UV JV/1Wnor:
"I wish to call your attention to
the fact that there is a section oi
this county where the colored people
are fust dying out from what
seems to be consumption.
"In a radius of five miles I think
at least a dozen or more have died in
the last twelve months, and many
more have contracted the disease,
All are young, say from 20 to 30
years old, they being poor and not
able to have themselves treated. I
think the State should at least investigate
the causes".?The State?
