but how have they incroasedg An in.

FRIDAY, AUG rs, 1904.

There is a crying need for dwelling
houses in Kingstree, the lack OF
which keeps away many families
who would like to come here to live
if they could REM comfortable homes.
Whenever dwelling becomes vacant
there is rush of applications for
renting it and several wouldbe citi-
zens are now vainly seeking houses
to live in. 1t would prove an excel
nt..investment for some of our capi-
talists to put their money IN neat,
comfortable tenant dwellings and at
the same time there is nothing that
would contribute more materially to
the growth and prosperity of the
town.

Now that cisterns have been built
to furnish a supply of water the
next thing in order is the purchase
of an engine and the formation of a
fire company. We happen to know
that in the near future the town
will be re-rated by the Southeastern
Tariff association and if some pro-
vision be made for fighting fire be-
fore the new rates are fixed; enough
will be saved in the wav of insurance
premiums to pay for the equipment

not able to bear this expense We be-
lieve that every business man would
contribute something to supplement
this fund. The conditions are favor

S'"'iNl i''NOi''
The personnel of the aspirants to
represent Williamsburg county in

above the average, and it will be an
easy matter for the voters to select
an able and influential delegation on
the ::30th. All the candidates are
good men and ! have no doubt would
take a high stand in the general as
sembly. -.
1t has been my privilege to attend
the-sessions of the legislature the
past few years and to observe the pro-
ccedings of that important body. l
have been particularly pleased with
the dignifed and manly bearing of
the Williamsburg delegation. They
did not distinguish themselves by
"much speaking, but made earnest
and intelligent efforts to secure wise
and wholesome legislation. In this
connection | will make special men
tion of Hon. P S Wall, with whom |
was very pleasantly thrown during
his term of service as Il member of
the. lower house. | know whereof |
speak when / say that no member of
that body performed his duty with
more zeal and fidelity than Mr. Well.
He was always promptly IN his seat
and gave his support to all measures
he thought calculated to promote tho
interest of his county and state,
while he sought to defeat suca lcgis-
lation as in his judgment would
operate against the welfare of the
people. He was especially careful
to fulfill his pledges to his people at
home, and all matters affecting their
interest received his promp. aud per-
sonal attention.

timony to Mr. Wallis able and eff
Gent service as a legislator, and [
think it would be a graceful act on
the part of the voters of the county
to return him for another term.
