The Meat of the Meat Question.

In the HartsviIle Messenger is a
letter from David R Coker, saying
that he has lately shipped to Rich
mond a carload of hogs for which he
received prices ranging from IL to
IA cents a pound. MIR Coker if salts
fed that raising hogs is profitable in
the neighborhood Of Hartsville and
he invites other formers to engage
in the industry, promising that, if he
shall have their cooperation. he will
look after the marketing side of it.
During the War Between the
States the people of the South, except
in the districts overrun by the Fede-
rails, who wasted what they did not
consume, did not suffer for meat 1t
was abundant for the people at home
and for the Southern soldiers, too so
long as it could be gotten to them.
Meat is selling in the South now
at prices almost prohibitive to those
who are not we'll to do or those who
do not raise it at home.
The majority of the people of the
South preferring to 90 without NUT
ton to going without the yellow dog,
there is little present hope for the
development of the sheep raising in
dustry, but it is practicable for all
farmers, tenants and owners of land,
white farmers and black farmers, to
own a few hogs and have a yellow
doc. too. The State.

OIL STRIKE IN MARLBORO.
Valuable Discovery Made Near
BenneiiSViile.

BennGttSVliIe.
CHI Jackson was digging PIT on
his farm at the Five Forks last week
in which to put machinery for flour
mill and distinct smell of oil was
noticed. He paid little attention to
it till Saturday, when the accumula-
ton of an oily substance was so pre-
nounced that he began an inv1stigs-
ton. 1t now develops that there Is
small quantity of crude oil seeping
through the earth's surface to with
in five feet Of the top.
Examinations are being made ans
it seems altogether probable that we
will have scme gush rs right here at
US.
The strata on which this oil is
found is the iiat lanGS, aud II 4 tru"
production Of craGc oil, theye is /"
very large territory affected IS tbs
low, fiat land is said to eXteEd from
near the fair grounds at Berbc:ts"i!''
to a point near Latta. Agreat deal
of it is covered with timber yet. A.
soon as definite surveys and tests arc
made there will be something doing in
this section, if we are blessed with oil.
Since the above was written by
the ADV ocate's Clio correspondent,
the editor went to Five Forks Tues
day afternoon and examined the oil,
which was found oozing from the
chalky clay at the bottom Of the five
foot excavation which Mr. jackson
had made for the foundation of his
flour mill. The odor and looks of
the oil show undoubtedly that it is
crude kerosene. 1t burns freely when
q match is appileu.
Water is also trickling into the
excavation, and stands about foot
deep. if not pumped off in several
hours. The oil floats on the top of
the water and forms yellow scum.
A sample of the oil was obtained
from the excavation and is on eXhi-
bition at the Advocate Office.
Mr. Jackson said that kilograms
had been sent to Columbia and Wash
ington for experts to come and make
an examination. He expects them
in day or two.
Mr. Jackson is son of Rod Jack
son, Of Dillon County. and nephew
of j NJ Jackson, of Bennettsville.
The 36O-acre tract of land on which
he resides at Five Forks is part of
the estate of his wife's grandfather.
Col T N Edens. 1t is between Clio
and Blenheim, about four miles from
each place.
1t is probable that there is large
quantity of oil down in the earth at
that place, and possibly over a large
area in that section, and is seeping
through the chalk to near the sur
face at that point. In oil sections
wells are often bored hundreds of
feet deep to reach the oil.
Dozens of people from miles around
were viewing the oil flow at Five
Forks Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds
have been there since the oil was dis
covered.--Pee Dee Adr0cate.

it behooves the police to aid in find
