buckras" are signing for cheap and
secluded place to sojourn, feel call

formation to the tired multitude.
1t is said that during this summer
thousands of our people have sailed
for the old world, and it cannot be
estimated how much of our coun-
try's money will be spent over there.
What a grand privilege it is to be
able to go abroad, but alas; we are
not all able to enjoy such luxuries.
And to those who are not able to
20 anywhere for the summer, let
me say that we also have some pref
ty sights and pleasure resorts in our
own dear country, if we will only
try to find and develop them.
Let us not be like Naaman of old,
who became wroth, because he was
told to perform the simple act of
dipping himself seven times in the
river Jordan, in order to be healed.
Because that river had become so
familiar to him, he failed to appre-
ciate it's value, but he would gladly
have believed that some distant
place,and some unheard-of perform
ance would have healed him. So let
US not pass by the wonderful bless
ings and privileges which God in his
infinite wisdom has bestowed upon
us, because they are near us. 1t
has been said that it is the ineradi-
cable part of human nature to give
our attention to something afar and
more wonderful, altogether ignoring
the fact that MANS greatest bless
ings are nearest him, lie close about
his feet
Sometimes a man with a keen
foresight into the future intends to
develop the blessings which God has
given him, and forecasts the de-
velopment of hill or shore or spring
to the benefit of himself and hu-
manity, but soon bumps his nog-
GIN against some impossible OBJ
stacle, and so discouraged, disorgan-
lied, and unimaginative, like Esau
of old, he sells his birth right for a
mess of pottage."
have found the door of entrance
to grand health resort in Barn
we'll county, and I want to lure an
appreciative crowd to come and see
what God hath wrought. There
is always in natures store house a
remedy provided for every ailment,
and it remains for those remedies
to be sought out. One of these reme-
dies provided for suffering humanity,
by the loving hand of nature is to
be found in the water of "All Heal
ing Springs" which gushes from the
bosom of mother earth, about
four miles from Blackville, Barn.
we'll county, on the land of Mr..
Luther P. Boyleston. 1t is natural
flow of fine mineral water, breaking
four or five fet above the surface.
The water has been carefully ana
lived. and is as fine mineral water
as is found any where.
This spring is on the site of an
old Indian camp, and has been in
perpetual flow as far back as the
oldest inhabitants and their fore
fathers can remember. 1t has al
ways been noted for it's healing and
curative powers for various ailments,
especially Indigestion. If it was con-
venient right now to get testimonials,
l could furnish hundreds of them
from people who owe their lives to
the curative power of this wonder
ful water, and the fame of it is slow
ly but surely spreading far and wide.
The time is not far distant when sick
people far and near will turn to this
water for help.
The owner of this valuable spring
has begun the erection of hotel,
and will soon be in position to
convince the people all over the
country, that there is no better
mineral water on the market than
that of "All Healing Springs"
Right near this spring is dis
trict or country town called Heal
ing Springs" where great many
cultured and prosperous people have
made their homes, and where every
convenience is at hand-school,
church, telephone, etc. There IS a
great deal of competition here among
the farmers, and some very up-to-
date farming is carried on. When

ing it's earliest development in South
