LOGAN, of Charleston, J Is not authorized to take advertisements for j this newspaper. j ] Wednesday, Nov. 22,1893. j i i Twelve [Pages. J < Shall the New County be Entabllsbed ^ tn the Wrons Place ? McCormick is centrally located for a new " connty, and it is said with authority that Mr. , C. H. McCormick will furnish the Court J Hod88 and Jail. With these excellent oppor tunltles we certainly ought to work for a new < oonnty. As to going Into a new county with Greenwood we would not be willing to go in ( with Greenwood If It would lessen our 1 chances here for a county seat. Any thing that tends to retard the formation of a county Beat here we oppose. There is no place more likely to get a county than McCormick after the area has been reduced. We cry out long and fierce to give us new counties. Any man who does not live 25 miles away, but close to the county seat does not know the vast lncon- * venlenceof going to Abbeville on a small case not worth the ride. Other States are highly pleased with small counties and we say give them to ub,?McCormick News. The above extract is part of an editorial in , last Thursday's Issue of our esteemed contem. < porary, the McCormick News. < Our neighbor must know, and surely doe6 ( know, that If the proposed Greenwood coun- t ty Is cut off from Abbeville, that neither Mc- ' nnrmicir Towndesvil!e or Honea Path will ] eyer be a Court House town. The survey of i the proposed Dew couuty tnay reduce Abbe- s vllle to the limit, 623 square miles, even If it does not reduce us below that figure, aDd of course old Abbeville would have nothing left which she could give to the other places, all of which need a Court House ten times as much as Greenwood does. As a matter of fact Greenwood stands less in need of a Court House than either Ninety-Six, McCormlck, Lowndesvllle or Honea Path. In the first place, Greenwood is only fourteen miles distant, while Ninety-Six, McCormick, Lowndesvllle and Honea Path are each twenty miles or more away from the Court House. Besides, being only a fraction over half the distance that1 the other towns are, two railroads run dally several trains each way between Abbeville and Greenwood. Citizens of Greenwood can come to Abbeville and return in a few houre, whereas it is a long Journey by private conveyance from the other towns, or if they come by Ihe car6 it requires about two days time. There are no doubt reasons more or less ur. gent why the citizens of Ninety-Six, McCor mlck, Lowudesvllle and Honea Path should " desire to bave Court Houses established at their respective places, but there Is perhaps { less good reason for establishing a Court House at Greenwood than at any other town t in the county. It lies close to us and sev- t eral trains will bring them to Abbeville and return them the same day. 1 Under the circumstances, the other towns really bave reason to ask for a Court House We do not see why the Legislature should ] pick out the very town, which of all the rest, needs It least, and establish thereto a county 1 seat. The fact Is, that the people residing in the 8 old county bave some rights, and their rights deserve consideration. Every citizen of the county has, or should bave some county pride, and it is nothing but r natural that those who are lnjuied should oppose it. * Even if the public sentiment should demand new counties, and even if the Reform . party should be willing to entail the additional cost to the State and to the county for the additional officer?, tbe act should be done with deliberation and wltb a proper respect for tbe rights and Interests of tbe people as a whole. To do this, there should be some general ( plan of redisricting the State?a plan by { which people llviDg in remote corners could f choose a central or suitable place for their Court House. In carrying this plau Into effect, Ninety-Six, Plum Branch, McCormick, Troy, Lownde8vllle, Donaldsville, and Hunea Path would be centres that would certainly accommodate a much larger per cent, of people than tbe proposed plan of destroying tbe symmetry of the county to establish a Court House in a town, only fourteen miles away, and which really has less need of a Court House than any of tbe towns named. The citizens of that town have much less trouble, ' expense, and loss of time in going to the Court House than tbe citizens of any of tbe towns of wblcb we have spoken. As tbe Constitutional Convention is soon to be called any hasty destroying of the old county lines 1b premature and ill-advised. If, * when tbe Convention meets to adopt a new Constitution, tbe people should be willing to establish new court bouBen In every nelgbborhood, and If tbe State should deem It wise to adopt so expensive a plan, then let NinetySix, and Troy or McCormick survey off a lit- 1 tie square compact county. Let Lowndes- ' vllle or Calhoun Falls do tbe same. Then ' Donalds and Honea Path could compete for 1 the Court House In that section. Such an ar- ' rangement would accommodate tbe different 1 neighborhoods, leaving Abbeville in good ? anan I 9 otviallo* A 1<m\ clHaH ow n r"? t tt da. ( .. OUiOHCl, 1VJ.

She and c her eeoort, one of the Professors, went sailing l In a little boat. A wind came up, and cap- | sized the boat, when the Professor and Miss ] Yeargin were drowned. Miss Yeargln was a woman of remarkable ability, and was distinguished for her great success in battling * against odds in the struggle of life. Without money, she labored with her hands, not only to earn money with which to educate her mind, but to relieve the financial distress of her father. She graduated with the first honor of her class in the Columbia Female College. and at the time of her dentb was a stu dent of Cornell, preparing herself for greater usefulness in the larger and broader fields of life. Though young in years, yet her great ability and the bravery with which she asserted her womanhood, made her one of the best known women of this State, aDd tbe remembranoe of ber career will go down in history, while tbe loss of her valuable life will be forever regretted. Cheap Rates to Augusta. Don't fail to note the cheap rates to Augusta?one cent a mile each way.

Don't miss the great Exposition now going on in Augusta. As Canal.

JONES AND THE NEW COUNTY. Soort Farming?Gone to Georgia? Preachers? Thieves ? Cotton? Turnips, Jones, S. C.. Nov. IS, 1S93. The surveyors have been through here this week blocking out the boundaries of the new jounty. We have been pla;ed in tho county )f Greenwood, but it seems to be about as aealtbyas it was In Abbeville. The people, ioo, are kind and accommodating, as much >o as the Abbeville people were. It tniiy be :hereare more chills down here than there were up in the old county, but then to maka jp for that the land Is a little better adapted ;o agriculture, especially to the growth of imall graiD. So upon the whole it doesn't leetn that our condition has been very much worsted by the transfer. Mr. A. R. Madden has sold his fiirrn to Mr. Prank Bramlett and will move to Georgia. Mr. Madden is a successful farmer and good iitlzen.and we regret to lose him from our :ommunuv. Rev. R. W. Burts, who has served Turkey ^reek church an pntuor for a number of years inderan indefinite call, resigned lust Sunlay, but was re-elected unanimously for an>tber year and has accepted. Some thief or thieves went into Mr. ivnigbt's store at Scuflletown last Wednesiay night and deprived the owner of a varie,y of merchandise. "Let him that stole steal 10 more." Rev. Mr. Wallace Nelson has gathered the jest crop we have heard of. With one horse le has made two hundred bushels of corn ind about eight bales of cotton, besides other valuable minor crops. Some of our farmers have been holding heir cotton for a better price, lut, as Is usu* illy the case, have lost. We are Indebted to Mr. Frunk Morrison or a basket of very fine turnips and potafoes. Hr, Morrison raises his own provisions at lome, and always thinks of his neighbors at ;atherlng time. Pompey. A fresh lot of ginger, spice, nutmugs, cloves, stc., In the bulk. J. H. Latimer. W.
