to prepare ami lntrixluce the
bill iu accordance with the re.
quest of the lioard of commis
sioner*, which I did. In view
of the fact that Allendale county
is chargeable with its pro rata
portion of the expenses of run
ning the governmentof Barnwell
county until the officers of Al
lendale qualify and take office,
it occurs to me that the request
of the Barnwell county board
was eminently proper, for I can
not conceive that any citizen of
Barnwell county would wish
Aljeudale county to bear its pro
rata portion of BarnweM cotin-
tyb expenses and not receive
anything in return. I might
state further that the act ip
question expressly states that
such portion of the ehaingang
shall be maintained at the ex
pense of Allendale county.
For the further comfort of
any good, but mbit formed citi-

the ;*rtq o-itioii of withdrawing
from the portion of Barnwell

lendale eoutity, the chuingang

committee of citizens of ‘Allen

that go therewith, there is in the
Act creating Allendale countv
no,provision for Allendale coun

of the ehaingang of Barnwell
county. This in the face of the
fact that Allendale county will
be chargeable with their “pro
rata share of the expenses of
carrying on the Barnwell gov
ernment. .In view of these facts
the board thinks it equitable
that some ^provision be made

Edgefield, April 15,—Reports

zen of Barnwell county, I might
state that, from such informa
tion as I have been able to
gather from the commissioners
of Allendale county, there will
be no disposition whatever on
the part of Allendale county to
evade the payment of a single
penny due to either Barnwell
or Hampton county upon the
settlement to be- had between
such counties. In fact, so far
as my information goes, ihertf
are certain claims that could be
made agi inst the old counties
that Allendale county expects
to waive, thereby evincing its
desire to be manifestly fair to
the old counties.
However, tlii+<«pirit of fair-
uets on the part of Allendale
county cannot be expected to
thrive, if the good citizens of
Barnwell county persist in the

uninformed people, that Allen
