\ WONDERFUL RESOURCES
OF OLD WILLIAMSBURG.
WE ARE IN TiiE MIDST OF GOLD
FIELDS THAT ONLY NEED DEVELOPMENT
TO YIELD FORTUNES.
.
'There is a time iu the tide of affairs
llTWh man's life, which, if
- rJrf" n , 211 I 1 ^
taken'at its coou win ieau vu iw
Saccess," etc.
This time, in the opinion of the
writer, is upon us now. Its voice
Hjv , cries aloud to every one. Shall we
ji.not ^ear
||rg, 4, The casual,or close observer, castV
v!? ing his eye over the landscape for a
radius of eight or ten miles around
tbis town may see spreading out be:
fore him a light, sandy soil, not too
well adapted to the cultivation of
cotton and corn, except wher^ under
the free use of fertilizer it'has been
made to vield and that more abundantlv,
aud he with wonder inquires,
"What use can be made of all this
light waste of soil ? " How can I,
? - 5 L _ 1
i where i aave maae sucn luveanucuto,
make it pay? Can a town situated
in such a community thrive?
My dear inquirer, do you realize
that we are in the midst of gold
fields ! Yes, gold fields. And how ?
It is just such lands and soils as we
L have described here that millions
jjf and millions of dollars in gold have
f been made from by tobacco raising.
Just such lands as have made Henry
' - county ofVirginia famousjthat have
, made the Pee Dee and Pudding
X swamp sections of our own State to
be known far and wide; that has
made Mullins the Danville of South
Carolina. But each of these sections
had to be developed into what
they now are, just as when the
discovery of gold has been made the
work of digging it out begins. Warehouses
were built in these several
floMmus or nlarps for the handling
of tobacco and in this way the community
was encouraged to plant the
"golden weed." As the result of
(vvi a suc^ Hn exPei'ieuce the community
KL . is not only prosperous and the towns
thriving, but farming lands have
advanced more than 100 per cent iu
' value. I have in mind now one
such community where 297 acres of
land sold for nearly $20,000, when
previous to the tobacco production
in that section it could have been
bougnt for $f-,000, Just such
transformations will take place here
among us. We have the soil, what
' * * -e j.u_
we Deecl is ine support, ui mc uuoitiess
man and the entire community.
In order that these things that appear
dreams may be realized it is absolutely
necessary to have a warehouse,
and then the surrounding
? .. ... country should have support and eni
couragment in cultivating the crop.
With soils adapted to the production
of such crops that will give new
business life to our town and our
community at large, cannot we hope
to have the support of each and every
business man ? Before the cultivation
of another crop begins let
us get together and discuss this
matter among ourselves and resolve
to make our own town "one among
many," of those as have prospered
with just such existing conditions.
Let us throw ourselves into the
4'Tide," and seize "Time" by the
forelock and see if this "Flood" will 1
not lead ou to success. Success to
our town success to our communi
ty. G. A. M.
rA Beautiful Picture.
Did you ever notice how really
beautiful gum chewing makes a
girl appear ? Take her de facto,
and gazing steadily, one eannot find J
a more ideal picture. With a sharp
* click ! click ! her teeth, so white and
pearly, are clashing together as with '
y?Airic h crW she masticates her cud. j
WT"" fc," >
Then, too, oue can note her healthI
tinted, well rounded cheeks as they
grow a little more rotund through 1
the material assistance of a big 1
"hunk" of gum. And really, who
can imagine a fairer spectacle than
that of her dainty up-turned nose,as
it gently rises and falls in wave-like
undulations over the abysmal depths
revealed at each pressure against
the mass? Oh, how deliciously
tempting that rosebud mouth is as
the maiden fills it with a soft, pliable
chunk, and champing like a
festive goat revelling in the luxuries
of the succulent tomato can, she
greets you in tones husky with gum.
Don't yon bachelors feel bad ? Ex.

is what Hon. Jake More
State Warden of Georgia, says of
Kodol for Dyspepsia: UE C
DeWitt & Co., Chicago. 111. Dear
Sir I haxe suffered more than
twenty years from indigestion
Abont eighteeu months ago I had
grown so much worse that I couia nt
digest a crust of corn bread and could
not retain anything on my stomach.
I lost 25 lbs; in fact I made up my
mind that I could not live but a
short time,when a friend of mine
recommeuded Kodol. I consented to
try it to please him and was better
in one day. I now weigh more than
I ever did in my life and am in
better health than for many years
Kodol did it I keep a bottle constantly,
and write this hoping that
humanity may be benefitted. Yours
very truly, Jake C. Moore, Atlanta,
Aug. 10,1904." Sold by iV L Wallace.
The poorest man usually has something
that a rich man would giye
half his wealth to own.
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is
good for cuts, burns, bruises and
scratches. It is especially good for
piles. Recommended and sold by
W L Wallace.

There is one preparation known today
that will promptly help the
atomach. This is Kopol. Kodol
digests all classoB of food, and it
does it thoroughly, so that the use
of Kodol for a time will without
doubt help anyone who has stomach
disorders or stomach trouble. Take
Kodol today and continue it for the
short time that is necessary to give
you complete relief. Kodol is sold
by W L Wallace

is in a bran new suit of store clothes

wearing a suit cat dowu from one

it is cross and Deevish. Cascasweet

mothers everywhere. Conforms to

If the congressional gentleman
who make up the new currency commission
will do as well by the people
in money matters as they did for
themselves in that little 50 per cent
salary increase, a lot will be forgiven
them.
