With them they bronght the election returns from which there sseme but little doubt that the vote of Kershaw has defested the formation of the county. They wished to find before whom they would have to protest against Kershaw’s vote on account of its illegality, claiming that no regis tration or poll tax receipts were shown by the voters and that even the registration books were not at the polls as required by law. They were informed that the commis sioners of election for Kershaw county were the proper persons to receive and act on the protest. In speaking of the matter the geptlemen said the voters took very slight interest in the result, many of them not voting. In the proposed county there were 1,500 or 1,600 voters and bat very little over half that unmber of votes oast.
