WILLIAMSBURG'S PROSPERITY.
Outlook for Our Town and County
Brighter Than for Years.

The following letter, clipped
from the Columbia State of No
vember 3, was written by the
president of the Bank of Kings
tree in response to letter of in
quiry sent to all the bankers of
the State by the paper referred
to. This letter speaks for itself
as to the prosperous condition of
our town and county.
Dear Sir: Replying to your
favor of 10Th INST, beg to say
that Williamsburg county is ad-
vancing in material prosperity
along with the rest of the State.
Good crops, with satisfactory
prices for cotton have stimulated
business along all lines. The
Bank of Kingstree has 90 per
cent more money on deposit now
than at the same date last year,
Notwithstanding that two new
banks have opened in the couu-
ty. The notes due the bank are
being paid when due, lany be-
fore they mature. The inten-
sive system of farming is devel-
oping the possibilities of our soil
to a wonderful extent. Truck
farmers and strawberry growers
have good prices and have con-
tributed largely to the prosperi-
ty in the county. Tobacco grow
ers who have handled their
crops carefully are realizing
good ..prices-in many instances
paying better than 10 cent cot
ton. The outlook for our town
and county is brighter than for
years, and on every side are visi-
BILE signs of substantial pro-
.gress. Yours truly,
D. G. SCOTT,
President Bank of Kingstree.

side of Deve.
Devo is the standard; mark it
100. The next-best-there are
several not far apart-are three
quarter paints; you may mark
them IS to Deve's 100.
The bulk of the paints in mar
ket are 40 or SO or 80; few are
better than 60; a few are worse
than 40.
How do they act? They cover
from one to three-quarters as
much as Deve; and they last
from one to three-quarters as
long as Dev@.
What are they worth? The
same rule don't hold; it costs
more to put-on some paints than
they are worth; they are not
worth anything; the "put-on''
costs two or three times as much
as the paint.

A distressing occurrence is reported

A distressing occurrence is reported
from Mont Alto, Pa. Mrs. Michael
Byrnes was visiting the family Of
Prof. G. G. Funk, when her little son,
FIVE years old, while playing in the
yard, removed the iron covering and
tumbled into the well, which was for
ty feet deep and contained eight feet
of water. The mother witnessed the
fall, became frantic, and unmindful
of the great danger, jumped into the
well few seconds later, hoping to
save her child. Professor Funk wit
messed the tragedy, and, securing
ropes and help, was lowered into the
well, and fifteen minutes later he had
the body of the child and the uncon-
scious form of the mother out of the
well. The child's skull was fractured.
Mrs. Byrnes in her plunge landed on
her feet, but is in a serious condition.

that the following. from Commercial

George o. Brown, the veteran poul-
try judge, owns an incubator. de
also had colored gentleman working
about his place. Brother Brown keeps
his incubator in a room in his house
and the colored man often saw him
carrying eggs to the house and fire.
quently saw him carrying newly
Matched chicks from the honse to the
poultry yard, where the breeders were
in use.
One day the colored gentleman re-
marked these facts and asked where
the chickens were Matched. 1t then
developed that the dusky gentleman
had never seen an incubator; he had
never even heard Of one. Mr.. Brown
offered to show his and conducted his
servant to the room where the incu-
bator full of freshly Matched chicks
was located. The darby could not be
persuaded to enter the room, but stood
in open-mouthed wonder outside the
door.
An hour or two later the colored
man went to Mr.. Brown and the fol
lowing conversation ensued:
