"What the Kershaw Era Has
to Say About the County
Line Survey.
Kershaw Era: The party of
Burviyors appointed by Governor
Ansel, in accordance with the
Act passed at the last session of
the legislature, to locate and
mark with permanent marks the
boundary line between Kershaw
and Lan aster counti"?, passed
through KershMw las' week, lo
eating the line through 'he town,
coming in from the NN'est side,
pasting hotwe-n the bou- s of
Mr. Jo n W. Truesdat and M:s.
Annie il. Horlon, leaving Mr.
Truesdal in the Kershaw side,
then across Mr E. D Blakenev'a
house and Mr. D. R. Fletcher's,
setting up a granite marker on
the pavement in front ot Mr.
F'.efccher's gate, thence through
Main street at the angle extending
from the north side of the
depot to the house occupied by
Mr. J. R. Bela ; then to the
north of Mr. H. W. Pace's and
Mr. L. E. Truesdal'9 and just
South of Mr. E. V. Truesdal's
house and on to the cemetery,leav
ing the cemetery inside Lancaster
county. So lar as territory
is concerned this practically di
viutj? me town eveniy Detween
the twocoun'iesj but leaves the
larger proportion ot the population
and taxable values to Lancaster
county.
We are informed that this eur
vev is beiug conducted at an expense
of about $60 or over per
day. This expense is to be borne
equally between the two counties.
Bad Roads Hurt Business.
(From the Kock Hill Record)
Editor Connors of The Lancaster
News, handed at some
strong talk in his last issue in
regard to the bad roads of that
Bection driving business away
from that town to other places,
t because they had better roads
leading to it
Rock Hill is sulTeting trom
that same trouble now. There is
plenty ol business goiiiir to othei
towns that might come to Rock
Hill it the road* were anything
like as /rood as the ones the
people i ravel on to other places.
Already the post ollioe author*
ities ate threatening to take off
the rural <reedelivery mail routes
on account of the bad condition
ol the roads. In this connection
you can find numbers oi good
farmers in good circumstances
along these routes who are op
posed to the law passed at
the last Legislature, which was
1 introduced by one of York
County's rep) eaentatives, provid
iug a plan wnereby we can have
permanent roads by taxation,
which is the only way whereby
we can get them, and which will
be more beneficial to the farmer
than any other party who uses,
the road, because it enhances!
the value ot his lands and prop- (
erty, 9aves his stock, vehicles,
and time, and enables him to get
lyi mail eacli day as though he
' f
were living in the ci'y.
