Got. Aasol Orders Xfew
Sumy for Csllioua County.
Op Monday the commissioners fox
the new county of * Calhoun met in
1 Governor Ansel's office in Columbia.
ai/?oa vam well ivmrflapntpi? and
many arguments were made, both for
and hgainst the proposition. The
issue before tfee ^Governor, however,
was a dispute about the boundary
lines, one of wmch*runs through the
incorporate limits of the town oi
Canmron, which is contrary to the law,
governing establishment of new counties.
The reports of the surveyors
were placed before the Governor, and
after going over every detail in the
matter,he ordered that a new surveybe
made and, to-do away with all future
disputes, which are not at all unlikely
to arise, the Governor ordered that
an additional surveyor be employed
to go over the lines with the men who
made the survey before, making three
surveyors in alL Thus the election is
still debarred for, possibly, several
months yet. II

The millinery opening at Fitzmaurice's,

beautiful sight to see. Never before
has an opening of this kind been at1
tended by so many of the laides, and
ne^er before has Fitzmaurice had
such a fine array of ladies' ready-to-wear
hats to show. The sfcore was
crowded from early in the morning
until the dosing hour, despite the bad
weather. Every style known towo1
man's art is represented in this great
feast of millinery at Fitzmaurice's,
and, really the styles are beautiful
and the prices low. Laaies, call and

Mrs. Blair Gets 2Tew Trial.
Mrs. Ethel W. Blair, who was convicted
of manslaghter in the Richlar.d
court last week for the alleged murder
of her husband, Conductor Blair, of
the C. N. and L. railway,. has^ been
granted a new trial by Col. George
Johnstone, the presiding judge.
Col. P. H. Nelson, as leading counsel
for the convicted woman, made a
strong and irresistable argument in
behalf of his client, covering grounds
that have never before been covered
in cases of this kind.
It is very likely that Mrs. Blair will
not be tried again under a year. In
the meantime she will be out on $2,000 '
bail. \
