TATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA EXECUTIVE CHAMBER. n the matter of the ^tition of the citizens f Edgefield county for nnexation to Green wood county, called ORDER ometimes the cut off if Plum J ?ranch to Greenwood county. , In this matter, His Excellency, IL F. Ansel, Governor of the state )f South Carolina, on the 18th day )f November, 1910, filed an execu tive order in which he declared, imong other things, that a petition aad been filed in his office on the 25th day of July, 1910, by certaiu electors, asking to have called an election on the question of annexing certain portion of Edgefield, county to Greenwood county; that commis sioners were appointed by him to ascertain and report whether the al legations of the petition were true and if the constitutional require ments in such cases had been com plied with; that the commissioners, made and reported to him that all of the constitutional requirements had been complied with; but that he refused to order an election for said annexation of said territory to Greenwood county because there was pending in his office before the said date, a petition by certain qualified electors fo/ Edgefield and Aiken counties, asking for an elec tion upon the question of forming a new county, and he stayed the election for said annexation for said reason, among others, that the matter should be held up until the coming in of the report of the com missioners of the proposed new county from the portion of Aiken and Edgefield counties. Inasmuch as the report of the commission of this proposed new county has come in before His Ex cellency, Governor Ansel; and, inas much as he ordered an election in said territory, the order and procla mation for said election has been set aside by me for reasons stated in my order on the subject; Now, therefore, as it appears that all of the constitutional require ments for the annexation of the said territory from Edgefield coun ty to Greenwood county have been complied with, and the reasons stated by Gov. Ansel are out of the way for delaying the matter any longer, on motion of S. H. McGhee, Esq., attorney for the annexation, it is ordered that an election be held in said territory of Edgefield coun ty on the question of annexation to Greenwood county, according to law, on the eleventh day of April A. D. 1911, and a proclamation to said effect will be issued[io the_com "'ijiv??^nderu my "hand and the seal of the Executive department, in the city of Columbia, South Carolina, on the 2nd day of March A.
