It had lieen detennined by >- Friday's vote that there would be a s divisiim. Init the line of division was the matter for adjustment, i Kev. P. It. Wells, for the nnti divis1 ionists. made one final effort to prevent - division by the introduction of a resolution proposing post|Minenient cf di; vision until a committee might consider certain legal ijueslions and report its finding a year hence. This ^ resolution was laid on the table by a I 'urge vote. Mr. Ttirnipsccd then f made an argument for the line which 3 lie had proposed. Ib' was followed by ! e Mr. McJ.eod for his line. The two | f lines were voted on separately in an j . aye and nay vote. The vote on the ; . Turnipseed line stood 5- for and 1211 , against. The vote on the Me Lend line I 1 stood, aye 171. nay so. The Itisliop ? declared that Mr. Md.eod's line was - good feeling prevails. Mr. W. S. (Jray. of Laurens, who j hud lieen an ardent supporter of the < light against division, moved to make I ? F I rCC We ni tikt a special ds s Phone 84 ]VJgi c. the vote for the MeLeod line unauimoiis, and this was done. The light has been spirited, but the defeated take their defeat in good spirit and a good feeling feeling prevails. IP'V. P.
