Does Anybody Know to Where They Extend t The words of the act of the Legislature <le- ; fining the corporate limitaare In these words: "Its corporate limits shall extend one mile and a quarter In the direction of the cardinal points from the Court House in said town as a centre, and form a square," Last week we published the opinion of Mr. R. E. Cox, that the distance from the Court House to the nearest point was a fraction leas than nlnetentbs of a mtfe. His theory Is that If a line be extended for a mile and a quarter toward each of the cardinal points, forming a square, the result well be as fol I /__ Q _\W Mr. O. A. Douglass, who Is ft surveyor. takes ei different view of the matter and says that the corners are not at the cardinal points, bat that they are the starting points from which the lines most be ran to the oorners which. must be one mile and a quarter each way from the cardinal points and leaving them in the middle of the straight lines between the somen, thus: j*???^7 ? ^///////// 8 Mr. Douglass says the line mast be itralgbt from the Court Hoase to the Insorporate limits, without reference to crooks n the route which may be travelled from one o the other. Or,* ohoihAF Mr rviT or Mr. TVins-lfUW be i igbt, the shops being bat a little south of , ivest, are all right, and are within the corporate limits. -3 Even if they should be beyond the llmlU in act of the Legislature could easily remedy tbe difficulty. The reader can observe the difference in the pictures and take bis choice of construction. Abbeville will have the shops anyhow. The question as to limits interests only those who may, or may not, be liable to town taxes. According to Mr. Cox's estimate tbe incor- i porate limits consist of two thousand acresaccording to Mr. Douglass tbe limits Include j four thousand acres. ] DAVID A, WABDLAW. i|| A Noble Tonng Kan Goes to His Grave.
