The decline in the price of cotton
has not affected in the slightest degree
the price of farm lands in NeWberrE
county. On the contrary, the price OF
land is increasing from year to year
and money now placed in farm proper
. ty anywhere in Newberry county is a
safe and good investment AS an lndl-
cation, as to how the Improvement OF
public roads enhances the value OF
farm property, may be seen from the
price at which Mr.. Beaurie Aull sold.
This is a very desirable location at
any time, but the value Of this proper
ty is enhanced fully so per cent. with
In the last two years, due in some
measure at least, to the Improvement
of the public roads.
Only few days ago, as will be
seen from the interview which The
Herald and News prints herewith with
. Mr., Jas. A. Burton, the real estate
man, this plantation containing one
thousand acres was sold for upwards
of forty thousand dollars. It is
fine place and the purchaser IS for
tunate in securing it at this figure.
However, it is true that it has been
only a few years wnen the valuation
OF twenty-five thousand dollars was
:, considered excessive.
