The Value of Location Location Practically Determines the Value of Land Anacre in the heart of the business section of Sumter Recently brought^ $60,000. An acre equally as good in other respects, but two miles out, will hardly bring $60. Farm lands injhe thickly home-settled sections of Marlboro County are bringing $150 an acre. Equally good lands in Northern Williamsburg County scarcely bring $15 an acre. Sumter County has the best railroad facilities of any of the fine land coun? ties of the Upper Costal plain of the section that embraces tke best com, cotton and general crop soils of the State. Lands throughout this territory are going to bring prices in the near future that: will be eye-openers for the "OLD TIMERS." The tract of 300 acres, 3 miles from Sumter, which I am offering for sale at ?12,500 gives some man who appre? ciates the value of good location, the opportunity to get something that will respond to proper treatment. A vear under good farming will add 50^ to the selliug value of the property; 60^ of the tract is in cultivation, and prac? tically all free of stumps. A good six room dwelling, barns and stables and () tenant houses equip the place with all necessary buildings. If you have $1 2,500 01 one-third of that amount to invest in a farm, this is your opportunity. N. B.?Have sold 14 tracts of farm lands in the past 60 days, but have forty or fifty left for sale.
