I? 1708 it was extended to its prcsont limits, with some diftV-rcnoo on the southern boundary, covering about 1200 acres. In 1K7'2 another extension wan made so an to iuolndo Kirkwood, an addition of about GOO acroa. Four atone posts, marking (ho northern line of thin extension aro standing, 0 three-fourths of n mile north of Boundary Street. Tho run of Horse Branch aij'l Littlo I'ino Treo Creek constituted t tio boundary on the ?'aKt. Although tho net, of a carpet ban legislature it in now apparent that it was a p;ood measure. On January 14th, 187H, u called meeting of citi/.ona wan hold to pasn upon the question of again reducing i the town toils former limits. This <v was indifToP'nl lv at'onded, uurl those ^ in favor of reduction prevailed. Col. Shannon strongly opposed re duction, and paid prophetically "that in the near future Kirkwood would becorno tlx;, principal place of reai ilenee in tho town. If we remand Kirkwood to our old position, ii we never ouraolveK, what will become of our streetH and roads? Wo will have to ha\ea corporation of our _ owb. Ho believed it for the host in ^ * tcrests of tho whole people that the limits should not bo reduced " vf'he Kershaw Gazette of that date deplored the action of the meeting as "disintegration,'1 and aaid : "If those wlio are, or oaght to be in ? terrstcrt in Itio. wellfare of the town had beon present, it is not believed that such conclusions would havo been reaohed " Tho satno reasons for the union of Kirk wood and Camden apply Rlill mere forcibly t.o day. Sinoo 1878 tlio increase of Kirkwood in populu lion and vahiHH 1ms boon very considerable. Threo largo hotels, two la'ge factories, threo miles of railroad, a depot, water- works plant, many residences and cottages have grown up. On a rough estimate the tax as sessment value of property, real ami personal, in K rkwood is about $350,000, that of Cumden is about ] $675,000. V Sinoo tho separation thero has] boon amongst iib a lock of co opera tion, if not positive discord, duo not a little (o tho disconnection of the ! two communi ies. lv ilk wood has missed tlio advantages of incorpota ticin, Camden the resources and nam j t bers of K'rkwootl, and both have suffered from tho loss of mutual support. If tho terms ho not too strong. thero h<v< been an under lying resent in ? ut. between the two, I flppnreut'X chronic, butwhieh huppily ! is utiont to disappear, before a spirit j o( unity and progress, so tdnkiogly manifest in other quarters of the: Stuto. and which seems to have fully j reached us. The cordial wi Iconic given by the oillciaU of County and City and by tho citizens to the recent proposal for betterment of tho Charleston and Dailiugton r <v#d s has convinc ed those who stirred the subjeel, that the time U ripe and our peo ple ready to adopt and execute all reasonable plans of public improve ment. The zeal and concert of ac tion developed was a revelation to Ihost* in conference. The steps taken to carry out this project have proven how ono idea Jeada to another, and how any un dertaking earnestly heguu brings to light other essential work. It| has pointed out inoio clearly the ^neflta oi the coalition of Kirk food and Caoxtan. The largo con-j fibmion guaranteed by Camden kuld be felt ay a much lighter rtt distributed ovor both ter*j But the special work no?| >?r li bat first sup* t* agtner. of lajprotsaaot, Wfcloh h tit* begun at the point of wont ur gent neud.

Hut that is erroneous. The proximity of Kiikwood and Cam den is such that their interests are identical. How many in Kirkwood have business directly or Indirectly iu Camden? Hut Kiikwood will certainly wish to nee the nundbeds, called ro&dn, in Its midst and around, ) clayed and haidened> Iu population ift coming to the point where it will need municipal government, liglitw, police and fire protection. It would bo certainly more advisable that i' consolidate with Cuimjrn than have a separate organization. --"Hut the matter of moat serious import remains for mention. A modern sewerage system for Cum deu and Kirkwood must hooji come or our progiCHS so well begun will bo stopped. Our obeorvant busi ness men aro coming fast to realize that suwerage is an indispensable condition of much furthe r prosper ity here, especially us a reft or I and industrially. It can only bo estab lished by bond*. Neither Kirkwood nor Camden is strong enough alone to have its independent ays', en. Their drain*gH is intimately con necled.

A great deal more might bo said, but this article is sufficiently long, and is intended mainly to arouse public attention.
