(From Legislative Proceeding? in The State of 18th inst.) Senutor LI ay's bill to provide for the resurvey and location of the lino between Lancaster and Kershaw counties was taken up out of its order to permit Mr. Richards to catch a train. Mr. Richards charged that the line had never been established by any authority of law. There was a survey fittoon years ago by three surveyors, one representing Lancaster, one Kershaw and the other being selected by the other two The Kershaw surveyor had never agreed to the line as run by the other t vo and the people of Kershaw had not agreed to it. The i:..~ .. i i- ?L . Iiuc YCwrtJU IM 11113 SOUtQ and gHV? Lancaster some of Kershaw's property. Mr. Foster wanted to know why this bill was not brought up hero fifteen years ago. The line aa survoyed had been accepted,for the people pay taxes in accordance therewith. The object of Kershaw county is to get a part of thto town of Kershaw through which the line nowr uns. Mr. Foster made a very good defense and asked for more time. The people of Lancaster county had not been given official notice of this move. He and Mr. Richards ongagod in a spirited but friendly interchange of questions and answers. , Tlio bill was then opposed by Capt Iiamel, who lives in the town of Kershaw, through which the line runs. Within the last 18 years this town has been built and is now a flourishing place. In 1889 the counties agreed to have the survey made, as the line had not been marked since 1875. It is true that the surveyor representing Kershaw county refused to sign the report. Capt Hamel asked for a postponement of this question. He had no official information that a survey is demanded. It is true that the coun? ty supervisor of Kershaw county d'd havo n line run last summer but no official notice had been given to the supervisor of Lancaster county. The house by a very good ma jority passed the hill, Lancaster People Hold that Disputed Lino was Satisfactorily ' Settled Years Ago. Special to News and Courier. Lancaster, Feb 19?Lancaster is just beginning to take some interest in Senator Hay's measure providing for a resurvey of the line between Lancaster and KerkViaw n.ntintiAQ There is strong opposition here to the proposed survey. The people of Lancaster regard the matter of the county liae as morally and legally settled?settled by the survey made sixteen years ago by direction of the boards of commissioners of both counties. The line as then established has since boen acquiesced :n. In that survey Lancaster county was represented by Capt James McJlwain, then a resident of Sum tor, though formerly of this county, andKershaw by capt. c c Haile of that county. These gentlemen, both of whom have since died, were veteran surveyors, having had many years of successful experience. As arranged by the commissioners of the counties, Messrs Mellwain and Haile called in and third surveyor, Mr Moses, ofSumter, and it was by these sur voyors that the work was done. , Of course it is understood that the bone of contention is the flourishing town of Kershaw, fourfifths of which lies in Lancaster county, according to the Mcllwain-Haile-Moses survey.
