Several meetings were held nd a committee, composed of Mesrs W K Wilson, J C Young, J W J 'loyd, S F Stuckey and R B Fitch /ere oppointed to take the work in hargeand push it through to a speedy onclusion. These gentlemen have onferred in committee several times ,nd as the result of their activities n the premises a petition is now be- I recirculated among the landowners, < /hose lands are to be within and af ected by the drainage, addressed to he Clerk of the Court of Common 'leas of Williamsburg county, revesting him to appoint a board of Viewers, to be composed of two disnterested freeholders and a compeent engineer, to cause a preliminary urvey of the proposed district to be nade and to report upon the feasi>ility and practicability of the plan, rhe idea, so far, is meeting with the ilmost unanimous approval of those tffected The proposed district is approxinately twenty-one miles long and hree miles wide, comprising within t8 confines practically all the lands vhich naturally drain into Broad or tingstree Swamp from the point vhere it enters into Black River, near iingstree, in Williamsburg County, jxtending through Williamsburg into md across a portion of Clarendon bounty and up into Florence County :o the point where the public road eading from Olanta to Mimm's Cross Roads crosses the swamp. A preliminary investigation has ilready been conducted under the mpervision of the committee, workng in collaboration with Mr F C Ea?on, a United States Government Drainage engineer, and his detailed report, submitted to the committee )n December 22 last, offers great mcouragement to those in charge of ind interested in this progressive mterprise. By this report Mr Eason ;stimstes that a canal approximately ifty feet wide at the river and approximately nine feet wide at the fprminna at. Mimm's Gross Roads and jbout seven feet deep, following the run of the swamp will be entirely sufficient to carry off all the water. Hie proposed excavation would require the remoyal of about five hundred ninety thousand cubic yards of iirt, which could be done for the raost by and with improved ditching ? J J ? J? ?L! inu ureuglUK luav-'inuery at a uusi ui about seven cents per cubic yard. This caaal would afford a main jrain for about forty-one thousand acres of Kind and the estimated cost per acre would not exceed one dollar and ten cents, according to Mr Eason. He calculates within the above cost not only making the excavation, but bearing a right of way six feet wide an each side of the ditch or canal and leveling the earth removed. It is estimated that the entire operation, from the time work is actually commenced until it is completed, having a due regard for the nature of the swamp and average seasons, will not consume more than one year. It is estimated that the total cost af the operation will not exceed forty thousand dollars, which will l -1*?a.? a.?1 1 i!.- 1 oe aisinouiea over aau appurwuuru imong the forty-one thousand acres iffected, which will be classified according to benefit derived by the Drainage 'Commissioners. The averige cost per acre, for the whole operation will not exceed one dollar ind fifteen cents. This fund is to >e derived by the sale of bonds, the *ate of interest on which shall not exceed six per cent per annum. The creation of a sinking fund with vhich to retire these bonds does not commence until after the expiration >f five years from the date of the )ond8 and then run for a period of wenty years. In other words, lothing is paid on the principal for ive years. 10 illustrate, suppose ou have one hundred acres, class A, ands within the district. The total ssessment against your land would >e one hundred and fifteen dollars, a y\ 3 )ayable in twenty equal annual initallments, commencing five years tfter the date of the bond and bearng interest at a rate not greater * ) ;han six per cent per annum?or five lollars and seventy-five cents per J rear for twenty years, commencing It * ive years after the date of the bord ?1 ind six dollars .and ninety cents ill- flfl ;erest payahle ?Jinually, if the bonds were sold at six per cent. However, . r t is understood that the Farmers & * * ? 1 n i- r V jaerenanis iNauonai oanK 01 ljar.c 3ty has offered to take the bonds ?t even a better rate. The advantages when considered in connection with the purely nominal cost of installation seem to warrant the immediate installation of this system. The petitions are now being circulated and are being generously sigued. NO COFFINS TO BUSY DEAD.. England Urges Compulsory Cre mation to Protect Health. A recent dispatch from London says: A new public danger threatens England in the difficulties of bury iL- J J T-a. !. J 1 mg me ae&a. it is causeu uy uue scannty of undertakers, coffin makers and grave diggers and has re* suited in delaying funderals for days, a condition which if aggravated by an epidemic would become very serious. To forestall that danger rfnd also to remedy the present situation compulsory cremation is being advocated. The tribunals which sit in all parts of the country and hear appeals for exemption from military sefvice | have pressed into military service \ every man whose work is not indispensable to the existence of the nita-' TIL 1 j. iL.i Xl lion, ine result is mat uiey imvc "combed out" the undertaking trade, and taken most of the skilled grave-diggers for another sort of digging.' It seems also that the shortage of coffins is country-wide. The head of the largest undertaking firm ia London which used to turn out be* tween 600 and 700 coffins a weec says that to add to the difficulties the railroad authorites have made a A new regulation that nothing is to be sent over 112 pounds by passenger train. This means that coffins witli a few exceptions will have to be shipped on freight trains. "Bodies," he said, "are waiting at every London station for hours for lack of labor to fetch them away." The Daily Mail has taken the lead f in the campaign for cremation. It also sees a danger in too many cem-j.?i? "Ti. ,_:ii i J .. t eieriea. 11 win iibyc lu c.ucuu uu once to compulsory cremation, and. . eventually to the wider and even more important consideration of the ever-growing encroachment of cemeteries upon land needed for building or agriculture." A VALUABLE RECIPE. _ Methods of Sugar Curing Hamu and Bacon. ' When the meat is cold, rub eacfc piece with salt and allow to draic over night. Then pack it in a barrel with the hams and shoulders in the bottom, using the strips of bacon tc fill in between or to put on top, A Weigh out for each 100 pounds of i ? a i- .e U r% _ a meat 8 pounas 01 sail, & puunus ui brown sugar and 2 ounces of saltpe* ter. Dissolve all in 4 gallons of water and cover the meat with the brine. For summer use it will be safest to boil the brine before using. In that case it should be thoroughly cooled before it is used. For winter use it is not necessary tc boil the brine. Bacon strips should remain in this * brine 4 to 6 week8,hams6to 8 weeks. This is a standard recipe and has given the best of satisfaction. Hams and bacon curee in the spring will keep right through the summer ftf. a, ter they are smoked. The meat wil'. be sweet and palatable if it is prop erly smoked and the flavor will be good. The above methods for curing meats have been tested and found to be entirely satisfactory. Amanda Edwards, County Agent. ? ?
