The desire of more than one-third of the qualified voters, as set forth in the petition of Rafting Creek school district No. 2f> (Pisgah) to annex that section of Sumter county to Kershaw county, if a majority of the voters so decide, in an election to he ordered by Governor McLeod, is set for.th in a (ftition tiled with Governor Mil. cod a few days ago. Th? citizens of tho Iri laiu o of Sumter County will, of course, regret to lose any of the ter ritory of the county or any of the citi zens who have been identified with Sumter county all their liyes, but if they tire convinced that it will be to their advantage to leave Sumter coun ty and affiliate with Kershaw, it is their right to take this action and no j one will attempt to interfere. It is not known here what is the actuating motive in the proposed severance of the iclations with this county, espec ially in view of tho fact that annexa tion to Kershaw will not relieve the property owners of the Pisgah section of any taxation that has been assum ed by Sumter county, as at present constituted, by the issuance of $2,000, 000 bonds for the construction of the paved highway system. The proper ty owners of Pisgah will have to pay their pro rata share of the * taxes le\ ied to pay the two million dollars of bonds, principal and interest, al though they may vdte that section into Kershaw county. The Petition to the Governor. We, the undersigned, constituting more than one-third of the qualified electors residing in that section of Sumter county, consisting of Rafting Creek School District No, 25 of said Sumter county, do hereby respect ful! v ? petit ion your Excellency .to pro ceed at your earliest convenience to appoint commissioners and to take such other steps' as are provided by law t'or the annexation of the afore said section of Sumter county, con sisting of Rafting Creek School Dis trict No. 2fj, to the adjacent county of Kershaw. According to our best information the said area of Sumter county pro posed to be annexed to Kershaw county contains between nine and ten square mile* and is represented by a plat of the same of record in Sumter county, as ' petitioners are informed, and that the proposed alteration of the division line between Kershaw and Sumter counties will leave both counties as to area population, proper ly values and otherwise, in full com | planee with constitutional require ments. Wc therefore request that your Ex ccllency appoint as the two commit ?loner* residing within the territory of Sumter county proposed to bo an nexed , H. ('. Dul're, and T. M. Rogers.
