IMPORTANCE OF DRAINAGE.
I
Suggestion That the Farmers' Union
Take lTp the Matter.
hkiitor County K-ooi\l:
Having here f<?r some time in direct
touch with ttic drainage movement
u... uiiu v_i4^* i
turing the country from end to end ,
and particularly the North Central',
States. I am constrained to write ]
? ? - ? '.tl* . * M ho into ??ac? f 1
your paper suuieiuiug m i,u<r miuigi
of drainage here in our low couutry.
Drainage has come in the more ;
^ prosperous atid enlightened sections |
of our country to be considered the ,
most important single factor in reclaiming
and improving land. Aside '
from the staudpomt of sanitation,
(which in itself is sufficient to warrant
superficial drainage at any cost) .
drainage has come to be recognized
as absolutely esseutial to the produc- !
tion of a profitable agriculture.
Not considering for th i present 1
the unquestionable millions that !
?" w rn Hip wealth of our
VWSJKA 1U UV MUUVM vv ...N
county through the reclamation of i
oar wet and at present waste lauds, it ]
is safe to assume that the annual
crop production of Williamsburg is (
curtailed one million or even two j
million dollars. It is quite certain (
that by a judicious system of drainage
of the lands now in cultivation
that amount could be added annual- J
ly to the wealth of our farms. Such '
J )
a system of thorough drainage could
tax the farmers (property holders) ?
not more than half that amount, and 1
while the crop returns alone for one 1
year would thus more than defray '
the expense, there could be no real 1
appreciation of the intrinsic value '
contributed thereby to the lands of
our county. The State of Illinois is '
perhapi the pioneer in the laud dram- 1
age movement and today the lands in 1
that State are worth more than three '
time* those of Iowa, Missouri, Kau- J
sas or Nebraska and all due to the 1
institution of land drainage through- *
out the State. 1
f Our sister State to the north, for |
which so many South Caroliuiaus 1
have maintained an air of superiority, 1
I (lam speaking of North Carolina) I
I has set the pace for us in the South i
by the enactment at her last General
Assembly of a State-wide drainage ?
law enabling communities to organ- i
ize special drainage districts. The I
necessity of such a law is apparent in <
order to take care of the interest of
all concerned and provide means for
assigning benefits and assessing damages.
It seems nothing short of ridiculous
that Charleston and a few oth- j
er sections in this State were forced ^
anniv fnr a snppial act to make <
w - -r I
such improvements as commou sense I
has taught so loug as absolutely es- j
geutial to health and civilization.
I have written personal letters to ^
our Representatives in the effort to
arouse their interest in the matter
and it would be a matter of profound
gratification if we of Williamsburg
could lead the movement in South j
Caroliua. 1
Drainage is far more important I
than the price of cotton or of flour
and is well within the control of our
people. The Farmers' Union would |
ingratiate with the county by adopt- i
ing the movement. 1

Farmers' Union Meeting.
The Williamsburg County Farmers'
Union will meet on Friday,
October 1, at Kingstree in the I
court house, at 11 o'clock a in. All

Union members are invited to attend.

Care In Preparing Food.
In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas?
ured largely by its purity; the result
is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out prominently
as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
/the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be Is Quaker Oats; ,
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of i
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company ' ]
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal (
that has satisfactorily solved the prob- j
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when 1
other brands are eaten.
For hot climates Quaker Oats is
packed in hermetically sealed tins,
keeps fresh and sweet anywhere. 1
HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Towns Likely to Consolidate-Engines I
Collide on G. &W. R. R.
Harpers, September 0:?A large,
mass meetiujr will be held here to- 1
night at 8 o'clock by the citizens of 1
iiai^eis and Rosemary to consider 1
the matter of consolidating the two !
towns. Resolutions have beeu passed !
by both places and it is possible that '
they may yet become one. The '
readers of this paper know the con- 1
ditions that surround these two little
towns, and it is to be hoped that 1
the whole matter may yet be satis- 1
factortly settled to the good of both i
towns. 1
Mr J B Johnson, of the Cedar 1
Creel, neighborhood, died on last
Friday, Vr 3. He had been 1
confined to .. ^ for three years. '
He leaves a wiuo?. and three small 1
children and a host of friends to '
mourn his demise. ^

railroad, spent several hours in town

The Atlantic Coast Lumber Cor- j
poration had a serious accident to f
happen recently on the Marion c
branch of the G & W railroad. Engine
No 116 was standing still on
the maiu line, the engineer and fire- t
man both having left it at the same I
time, when it dashed off with no one 8
' I
in charge and ran from Warr's
Crossing towards Black river down a
very steep grade, under a speed of 60 g
ir 70 miles an hour. While speeding
?t this terrific rate the runaway engine
mot Engine No 112 on the main 1
line. The entire crew on No 112
jumped and the two large engines ?
ran together, completely demolishing ,
Eugiue No 116 and damaging to the
imouut of several thousand dollars ?
Engine No 112. Fortunately no one
vas hurt in the collision. This is a
leavy loss to the lumber company, .
nit we suppose they have all their
oiling stock insured.
We are suffering a serious dry ;

Cross Hill, September S:?The W

night. They were initiating a newmember,
ami the whole town was
aroused about 12 o'clock bv shootiug

got frightened, ran and the
whole membership ran after him,
and it was some time before he could
be caught; he was scared nearly to
ileath. In the race ihey ran uear a
negro house, knocked down the negro's
garden and scared him and his
family about as badly as the new
member. The uninitiated are at a

Nervous
Prostration
"I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended Dr. Miles'
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself recovering,
and am to-dav well."
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickn^ is of nervous
origin. It's thw nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach digest
food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
I
i ;
Don't mistake tbe I ause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect their
1 kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
[ with all the other symptoms of kidI
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It
cures ail ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Residents
of this vicinity are constantly testifying
to permanent cures.
P O Fulkenstein, 415 Darlington
St, Florence. S C, says: '-Doan's
Kidney Pills are in my estimation an
excellent remedy. I suffered almost
constantly from a dull ache in the
small of my back. I also had sharp,
ehooting pains in my loins aud upon
arising in the morning I was very
lame and sore and it was quite a little
while before the stiffness disappeared.
I came to the conclusion that my
kidneys were disordered as the secretions
were highly colored and coufuino.1
a .larL: i m.?n f J n<4f>d slboilt
a box of Doan's Kidney Piils and
they acted promptly, removing the
lameness and soieness from my back,
and regulatiug the passage of the
kidney secretions. My back is now
free from pain and you are at liberty
to publish my statement in return
for the benefit I have received from
Doan's Kidney Pills."
