Hart, commissioner^ of election for Orangeburg county, have decided that the election held on Dec. 17th was void. Followis the decision of the board as published in The State: "We find some irregularities in several books, such as voting outside of right precinct/ not demanding proper proof of payment of taxes, etc., but , wa flnH t.hArA flrfl tint, ennnch of these < irregularities to change the result of this election. "We further find that about 65 or pore qualified electors, residing with- , in the area of the proposed new county of Calhoun, including, portions of ?! Orange, Good by s and Poplar townships, were deprived of the constitutional fight to vote in this election, ' as the said electors ire residents of , the proposed new county, while their , voting places are without, and the act , of the legislature relating to the for- . mation of new counties does not pro- i vide the means or the opportunity to vote in such case. ! "We therefore find that in depriv- , ing these qualified electors of the right j to vote the constitutional provision i has Jt>een violated, and on this ground j we do hereby declare this election noil and void." ; It is said that the matter will go j before the State board and probably to the supreme court before it is finally . settled. , 1 J. ; Coajrosaaaa Imr. < Col.
