Heath Spring is easily accessible
TO large section Of excellent agri-

roads which lead into it from five

brings a large trade to the place.

sold on this market. The Springs

Heath Spring, located on the South
ern Railway eleven miles below Lam
caster and seven miles above ker-
shaw. is one of the best located and
one Of the most healthful towns in
Piedmont South Carolina. A resident
pf Charlotte. y. c., who spent week
here two years ago, said The Lord
taid out this beautiful level spot, in
the midst of the hills, for town"
Upon such a site has been built a
town which for its healthfulness.
progressive spirit and successful en-
deavor is unsurpassed by any village
OF its size in South Carolina. While
the town is built upon level stretch
OF land divided by the Columbia
Charlotte highway, which runs
through the centre Of the town. it is
surrounded by gently sloping hills
which insure sufficient drainage to
reduce the presence Of standing wa
ter to a minimum. Thus we are COM
paratively free from malaria, and
it is rare thing that the presence of
a mosquito is noted. Under the
watchful administration OF our eff
cient board of health, II. P. Mob.
ley, Dr.. W. S. Moore, ]. E. Sims, c.
Z. Williams and II. A. Horton, as
sisted by Policeman 5. ]. Vincent, the
town is kept in a remarkable state of
cleanliness, and by the untiring eff
forts OF the latter, crime has been
greatly reduced and It is seldom that
an arrest has TO be made.
Heath Spring is a town OF mag
nlficent distances" the building lots
being so large that almost every
dwelling s surrounded by spacious
yards Excellent water is furnished
by a system Of wells, and d noted

dant supply OF water highly impreg-

versally maintained. Many of these
who who have come here to engage in
the mercantile or other business have
not forgotten their FIRST love" and
are still interested in the tilling of
the soil. the only difference being
that they have profted by the scien-
tific methods now being applied so
practically. with the result thai their
and others lands have been greatly
improved. farming made pleasant
and profitable. and real estate greatly

remarkably on all questions that look
to the building up Of the community
commercially, socially, religiously
and morally.
With all it's advantages, natural
and acquired, Heath Spring still lacks
many things, some of which will be
mentioned here. The cordial rela-
tions existing between Heath Spring
business men and the farmers and 9th
ers living in the surrounding coun-
ers should be maintained, increased
and strengthened. A fuller under
standing by both OF their mutual de-
psndence for prosperity would be for
the best interests of all concerned.
Heath Springs churches need better
Sunday School facilities; the town
should have more commodious and
well arranged public hall; and ten
thousand dollar school building is a
necessity OF the near future. The
greatest immediate need is that OF
an electric lighting system. II
plant were installed a number OF our
business houses and many residences
no doubt would avail themselves of
the opportunity to secure that which
will furnish the quickest, cleanest,
most sanitary and convenient lights
to be found. Our progressive town
council, consisting Of ]. A. williams.
Mayor, and w. T. Slower, A. ]. Mar
shall, E. F. Hammond and r. P.
Mobley, wardens, are already looking
into the matter, and considering the
possibility Of supplying this much
needed lack in the near future. With
this improvement Heath Spring
would still have the advantages Of
the country, and all the essential con-
veniences OF the city. A lighting
system for a community so progress
sive in every other respect is a GER
tainty in the not distant future.
While Heath Spring is a fine resi-
dental town, an excellent social com
munity and progressive business CEN
tire, one Of the things most to its
credit is the interest manifested by
its people in education. Besides the
widespread interest in the local
school, there is still wider inter
est shown by the fact that every year
there are not less than a dozen young
men and women from this immediate
neighborhood in attendance upon the
best colleges in the State, and
similar number of graduates in the
schools of this and other States.

1t was old Mrs. Martyr who rose to

tyn, when an alteration at the front
door arrested his attention. An old
lady and gentleman were engaged in
very angry disputation with the but
Ter, and, what is more, pushed that
functionary aside without ceremony
and came hurriedly along the hall and
into the parlor.

shouted the old gentleman, beside
himself with wrath.
The pair were obviously country
bred - prosperous farming people,
they seemed to be. The man was be-
yond self-control and, more ominous,
the old lady did not see manxious to
control him.

Mrs. Martyr, rising with dignity.

AS the old gentleman carried moth

was an obvious one. But, as he
turned, he saw Miss Summers come
quietly into the room. He hesitated,
but in a moment the old lady had
caught her in her arms and they were
sobbing on each others necks.

It's a noted fashion designer Of
fers you this advice and it's worth
needing. Miss Girl-of-Twenty, if her
ankles are slim, may safely tilt her
gowns to an eight-inch level above
the ground without offending the
most fastidious taste, but the woman
whose ankles have lost their slender
ness will prove her good taste by
adding three inches to the shoe-top
length.
The woman who wears short skirts
