PROPOSED ED1ST0
COUNTY ELECTION
DECEMBER 15.
NEW COUNTY W1IL CUT GOOD
SLICE FROM AIKEN COUNTY.
Aiken, S. C.t Nov. 17.?The state
and county election commissioners
have made all arrangements for the
; holding of the election on the ques|
tion of the formation of the new
J county of Kdisto, the election upon
which question will be held on December
15. The election managers
have been appointed, and there is
nothing else to be done in the portion
of Aiken county concerned but
to vote upon it.
Kdisto county will take a considerable
slice off of Aiken county, and
should the election be carried by
the promoters of the scheme, this
county will lose Perry, Salley, Wag
ener and seivern. ferry and Wagener
are bidding for the honors of
the county seat.
There are many very enthusiastic I
persons in the section favoring the
project, but there are also many who
are very much opposed to it, and
several gentlemen interested in the
matter who were in the city yester-!
day state that there is no change for!
it to be carried.
The proposed boundaries come
down as far as a mile or two from
Merritt's bridge. Those parties resident
there now as near, or nearer to
Aiken than they would be to either
Perry or Wagener, and for that real
son they state that they will vote *?gainst
the project.
j Another stumbling block is the
fact that Perry and Wagener both
want?the county seat. These town?;
are ?",nly three miles apart, and it
looks like the one that does not get
the county seat will be greatly injured.
The odds seem to be in favor
of Wagener. and for this reason
numbers of Perry voters are going
to vote against it.

in the Edisto county boundaries
says that in the event of the county t
being carried, his school district will t
lose something like $500 [a year, a- \
bout two thirds of the total amount c
now received by this school.
Another reason given by those op- I
posed to the formation is that there s
is not a cotton mill, factory, or s
scarcely an industry of any kind,
i large hotel, or scarcely any railroads ^
to help pay the taxes, which will, \
they say. fall almost exclusively on C
the farmers to pay. I
By those well acquainted with f
conditions in the proposed area, it is i
not believed that the necessary two- J1:
thirds vote can be polled on election ' c
day. All the voters are registered ; t
in the district of Aiken county, the 11
books being carried around only a
few weeks ago. j 1

BODY OF MB. FRED TYLER IS
BROUGHT HOME- A WORTHY
NEGRO DIES.
Aiken, November 17.?The remains
of Mr. Fred Tyler were
brought to Aiken this morning
for interment, from Augusta, Ga.,
where he died yesterday morning,
after a long and lingering
malady. The funeral was held today
in the Millbrook Baptist church,
two miles from this city, and the
remains were laid to rest in the adjoining
cemetery. Mr. Tyler was
the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Tyler
of the Millbrook section, where
he resided until five years ago,
when he went to Augusta. .Since
that time he has risen fast, and at
the time of his death was general
manager of the Augusta office of
the Georgia Railway. He was 26
years of age and leaves a wife and
two children.
Yesterday the ballots cast in the
first municipal primary were recounted,
unofficially, to find the apparent
discrepancy of twenty votes.
It was found that lour ballots were
counted the first tim.2, which were
illegal, and this accounted for the
difference. These four ballots contained
seven names instead of six,
thus creating a difference. The difference,
however immaterial, would
not have changed the result in any
way.
Yesterday old Uncle Jim Anderson.
one oi the best negroes in Aiken,
died in this city. He has been
keeping and running a little barber
shop in Aiken i'ui something like 25
years and came to be lookfcd upon
as a landmark. He will bar greatly
