Midland County. During the lrst few months there j| . has been some talk through our 'contemporary, The Batesburg Advocate, < about the formation of a new county out of parts of Aiken, Saluda and Lex- j ington, with Snmmerland as the coun- j *v oAat. TTd to the nresent we have V -t -- i refrained from discussing the matter, because we had been most reliably informed that but few people were ngi- j tating the proposition. The Advocate i last week stated that Mr. Percy Norris, of Aiken, i9 now making a preliminary survey to see if any territory can be secured from Saluda county. This is all well and good so lcng as the people of the proposed area are willing to pay for the 6urvey, and this no doubt they will be glad to do. But, seriously, we doubt if any territory ean be secured from Saluda; for it v will be remembered that when that county was formed it was necessary to run the line through the suburbs of Batesburg on the north in order to secure the desired and necessary area for Saluda. We would advocate the move if we thought the times and the people demanded thi9 new county. But, while admiring the energy with which the promoters are working, we fail to see the necessity for "another county, and our information leads us to believe ;hat maD.v of our people?in fact the majority oi the people in the territory-?are opposed to the formation of this new county.
