LOOK FOR THE SOURCE.

In all our efforts to subdue igno-
rance and vice, to aid the feeble,
to restore the ening, to relieve the
oppressed. we need to look far
deeper than the surface facts or the
actual evils we would Danish.
What is the source?" should be
our constant inquiry, and against
that. when we have found it, should
our Chief efforts be directed.

The petition OF the Cherokee

be permitted to ~ithdraw three hun
dred and twenty acres OF land owned
by 1t from the corporate limits OF
the village of Williamsburg was
heard before Judge Cooper of the
county court one day last week.
When the town of williamsburg
was Incorporated. twenty-five years
or more ago: there was included
within its boundaries a territory
three miles in extent from east TO
west and one mile from north to
south. makiny the aggregate munich

and Judge Chas d. Bradley OF Flor
ence appeared as attorneys for the
petitioner. II was the third applica-
tionheard in the county court TO be
allowed to withdraw lands from the
corporate limits OF Williamsburg and
the superficial area of the town has
been reduced from six square miles
to one mile squae by the looping of
processes OF the law. There is a
special municipal tax in Williams
burg iris year TO pay for the new
water works system and. to that fact
was probably due the petition of the
cherokee-Pittsburg company for the
withdrawal of its property.
