Ala .. in letter enquiring the price of . dozen bottles, that he might not only have it for uss in his own family, but supply it to his neighbors. The reason some people get along without 1t. is because they do do not know it's value, and what vast amount of sui fering it will save. Wheree ever it b. comes known and used it is recognized as necessity, for it is the only remedy that can always be depended upon for bowel complaints, both for children and adults. For sale by ". H.

there is scarcely Il square mile of
strata III It's original position.
1t is to these assures and frac-
turcs thus formed that we must
look for any considerable supply of
water. -
Baron Nordcnskjold, of Sweden,
believed from his researches in
Spitzbergcn, that Il horizontal crack
would generally be found to exist
IN all solid rocks ut an insignificant
depth beneath the carth's surface.
He further believes such cracks to
be formed from variations in tom.
pcraturc, and finds them in granite
rocks from 90 to 1aS feet below the
surface. They yield from 600 to
1900 quarts of water an hour with
moderate pumping. In the gneiss
OF this State we neither look for.
nor do we find, any such horizontal
cracks, but fissurcs and fractures in
every direction through the rock,
and at any inclination to the SUR
face. ~s
How to locate these assures is
the one and only problem to be
solved. This problem, while not
generally understood, if at all, even
by the professional wcll-borer, adj
mlts of easy solution where the
rocks are exposed; because their
character and position, the nature
and amount of the disturbance
which has taken place in them, can
readily be seen, even by the un-
trained observer. But where the
soil covers them TO any considera-
bic depth, or where there are but
lew rock exposures, as is frequently
the case, it is often difficult to de-
termlnc whether or not to expect
to find fissures. 1t might appear
q
that valley or hill side shall al
ways be chosen for the location of
the well. If all valleys aud hill
sides resulted from one and the
same cause, viz., faulting, we
might reasonably expect fssurcs
and fractures to abound in the rocks
along the line of the fault, and that
drill penetrating the rock for
few hundred feet would, in all prob
ability, pass through one or more
hssurcs carrying water. Valleys.
however, originate in several WAYS.
chiefly as follows: Valleys of ero-
sIon-formed by the softer parts of
the rock wearing away faster than
the harder; valleys formed by the
folding of the strata; and valleys
resulting from dislocation of the
rocks, commonly known as faults.
Experience has shown that the
margins Of this last class of valleys
are good locations for artcsian
wells. S. l.. POWELL.

There is perhaps no other condi-
ton SO essential to the health and
comfort of a community as pure,
untaintcd water.
This need appeals more strongly,
doubtless, to people living in sec
ton of country where the natural
formation furnishes water subject
to surface pollution, than to resi-
dents in the higher lands where
pure mountain streams are fre-
qucntly the source of the water
supply. Much Of the so-callcd ma
laria common in certain localities.

IN comparatively recent years the
question of obtaining pure water
has been strongly agitatcd. 1t is
IN response TO many inquiries on
thc subject that this article is writ
ten. 1t is impossible at this time
to give more than a few principles,
as the space limit here precludes
anything like an adequate or de.
tailed treatment of the subject.
lnthc St. Louis Christian Advocate
Tor january 70, 1898, in an article
entitled " Artcsian Wells," Prof.
w. IL. Wallace states that artcsiun
wells have solved the question Of
pure water in South Carolina, not
only in the marshy, malarial sea-
coast country, but in the middle
and upper sections also, that rest
on granite formations. The state
mcnt is doubtless the truth, for it
has been demonstrated that an
abundance of pure water can be OBJ
tanned by boring at certain places in
to the l.Htircntian gnciss, which cov-
crs the greater portion of the State
from Columbia westward. The
problem is, where shall the rock be
tapped, for it is equally true that
water cannot be obtained by boring
into the rock Unfortunately, i. c.
just at any point.
The conditions Of securing water
here in the Piedmont region are
entirely different from those which
obtain in the Coastal Plain, where
IT IS only necessary to bore through
the unconsolidatcd strata of the
more recent geological formations
until the drill approaches The under
lying gnciss, over which the pcrco-
lating water finds its way to the
ocean. AS soon as this rock, or
some porous stratum, is reached the |
water rises in the well, it being an
easier path than making its own
way through the earth. The rock
''' f'i" tllC SclllIill ana western
portions of the State is technically |
called Laurcntian gnciss, popularity |
called granite. 1t is rcckoncd
among the oldest rocks of the globe
and is of unknown thickness, prob
ably 10000 feet or more. Although
81 scdimcntary origin, it is wholly
crystalline in character, and so very
that water bearing strata
src not to be found in it. No STRAIT
I'M is sufficiently porous to fur
rish any adequate supply Of water,
should it be tapped. Fortunately
hcsc ancient rocks have experienced
nearly all the vicissitudes throuph
which the earth has passed. The
'vcr accumulating forces of the
contracting crust of the earth have
'auscd them to be tilted, folded,
;rumplcd, fissurcd, faultcd and
r&cturcd, to such un extent that
