Stan- Oil companies, whose represen tatives have been bu^y in Hyde County for the past two months, now hold leases on thousands of acres in the county and are ne gotiating for those tracks which they have not yet secured. Spec ulation is rising as to iust what will come from their activities. Some are optimistic and are looking for a boom in employ ment and business, while the more conservative think nothing will come of it. The oil men have leased the land at 10 cents an acre. The leasee is to get one eighth of the royalties if oil is found. The company assumes the cost of all damages. They have promised that one or more wells will be sunk in the eastern part of the State. Standard Oil, who has leased much land in Hyde and who has flagged to country from Columbia to Manns Harbor via Fairfield, Lake Landing and En gelhard, is under obligation to the State to dyill. The sinking ot an oil well in the county is a possibility and should it come to pass would mean a project costing up to $500,0015. Oil men have indicat- dard Oil, he said, was flaging Judge E. S.
