THE SPRINGS Of LirREyS DISTRICT.


near this pace, and the uGduubted medicinal
qualities Of lis water has caused no incon>ider-
able talk and excitement in This community,
and like all such discoveries, for time. will en-
gross The conversation of the people which il is
calculated to benefit; consequently, many face
ious reports are circulated concerning IL and
those most enthusiastic in i!s praise. These re-
ports have Il tendency to create Il doubt in The
minds of those at Il distance as to the reality OF
the virtues Of the water discovered, and in too
many eases, such reports cause those unacqltain:-
I'd with the discovery 10 pronounce lit hum
bug. Such, however is not the case with the
Sullivan Spring. We have living, walking tes-
timony of the good properties of the water.
Gentlemen and Ladies of the first responsibility
in our community, who for years have been
suffering from different diseases, such as diseases
of the kidney, heartburn, debility, dyspepsia &C.,
are now praising the qualities Of the water, and
enjoying the most complete health from its use.
But us an evidence that such Springs do exist
in our District, we take the following from The
Geological report of Laurens District, BY Nj.
Tuomey, which, we ;hink is conclusive:
GA portion of The strata (hornblcndc slate)
contains sulpLuret Of Iron IN abundance, wic!
gives rise 10 some excellent chaly ybeate and sui
,phur springs One Of these occurs within y
e,iln--nf -Ereek-- sud known ma :;
tween Sandy Ford, on Enoree, and the village,
another is found, which is strongly su!phurettedss
water. There are, doubtless, others which u.
lid not see, but these are highly worthy of theis
attention of The Medical Faculty of The District"
The Cheeks Spring of which Mr. Tnomey
speaks, has long been known rs one of The best
chalybcatc spring in the county, and many are
the persons now living and known TO u, who
can testify to the virtue Of the water in severe
caculuus or kidney diseases. OF the spring
"betwcen Sandy Ford, on Enoree, and tho
village" We can only say that, 50 far as Tie anal
ys;s OF tic water has been made, it is one Of the
strongest Magnesia springs We have ever Seen,
and il is only three miles from this village.
These is also another cha!ybpaie spring on the
premises of COL J H. lrby moi more than half
mile from the village, which We consider fully
equal to tie Sullivan Spring, but probably can
not be made 50 available as public 'ratsrins
pIace, in consequence of its being located SO
near the dwelling of Col. lray but we doubt
not if il is necessary, the COL would improve
and make it beautiful and desirable resort, and
open its water to Ie use Of the public.
We ask not that our word should bc .aken in
this matter, but ii there are anr prrsoHs in the
State seeking such medicinal aids as are cod
tanned in these Springs, We invite them to visit
this place. and we have no fear that We shall DO
contradicted We feel confident that fair test
of the waters from the Springs around our vii
lagc will give them a reputation inferior to none
in the State or rountry.-Laurenssill Herald.
