On tha Htli ln«t. Mr. Jamaa U..Jack-
fton, a prominent buaineaa man of Au
ftuata, and other jfentlwnen of charao*
ter, presented petitions to Governor
llerw*r.1 asking the ordering of an e>
feethm upon the question of urenting
. Hammond County—according to the
boundaries given in the advertisement
In this paper.
The petitioners allege that the pro-
aaunty will have a |»opula-
15,0(10 persons, taxable property
to two and a hnlf mllllot)

torney D. S.
Tked audience from the
Governor on Friday for a committee
seeking the creation of Calhoun County
to Include |K,rtlona of Abbeville. Edge-
field anJ Aiken Conntles, with Me*
Cormtck as the county seat. Itoth
projected counties w ish the same teri
I’ltory from Edgetlcld, and a part of
the Siting Aiken acres.
On our table there Is the last copy of
'•Southern Education,” a Knoxville,
Tenn., publication, having thedevelop-
ment and foateriugof the publicachools
of the South ns its one purpose. This
nuinb-r goes ant under theawsplce# pf-
the South Carolina Sute Superinten
dent of Education, U. U. Martin, and
1 rents principally of conditions in this
State, It might very we)l be called tbe
South Carolina Hand Book of School*.
In ore of Its tables the areas of all
the counties are put down in plain
^ jrtgures, and two of the new counties
created since the adoption of the new
cnn«trrtutlon are credited with areas he-
- • low tba uilnimiim ordained and essen
tial under that supreme instrument,
tine of these new counties la given d(Ut
iqiinre miles, the other 'ttll square
miles, while the constitution requires
at least itXb
If Mr. Martin's figures are wrong he
should clear, or competent authority
should clear, the clouds cast thereby on
the titles of the said counties to exis
tence as separate political division*.
'If Mr. Mat tin's figures are right then
the Legislature has made In case of
«acli of these two new too small coun-
- tie* “a pretty kettle of fish,” and who
Is prophet w lee enough to fell the fu
ture consequeqfes? Sometime or other
111 the future there is likelihood of
trouble to innocent pvople and proper*
ty bolder*. #
In inAttersof such moment It is
ter to go slowly and surely,
right of secession is recognised b

up a npw county there should be
which Has pro
duced u>o*i of the great men of tbe
world. About the year l?l* three
brothers came to this country from
Wales, and located in Philadelphia.
The younger. Evan Davis, eventually
wrent to the colony of Georgia and
t lie re married a widow by the name of
William*. The only child of that un
ion, Samuel Davis, enlisted at the age
of seventeen as a private soldier in the
War of the Revolution. he or-
ganleed a company of mounted men
and at Its head participated In most of
the hattles of the campaign that force I
Lord Crnyuvallfs^it of the Garoliim*.
At the close of the war he married Jan.'v
v’ook, a girl of Bcotch-Irlsh descent, oL
humble station, but noted for strength
of character and great personal beauty;
and they s.Mtled «>n.a farm near Au
gusta. Ga. In ihoi Ssmu.-l Davis re
moved with his family to southwestern
Kentucky to engage in stock raising

.Ghrlatlan county and not many miles
from the cabin where a few months la
ter Abraham Lincoln opened hhi eyes
upon the light of the world, Jefferson
Davis was born, June S^LlKW. The spot
is now in Todd comity and uikmi It,
stands the Baptist church at Kalrvlewr
While he was still an Infant, the hope
of there better providing fot a- numer
ous family caused his father to seek a
new home on Hayon Teche in Loutst-
ana. The country, however, proved un-'
healthful, and be remained there but
a few months. He dually Imuglit a
farm near Woodvllle, In Wilkinson^,
county, Miss., where he spent tbe ny''
malnder of his long life, |K>or, but . re
spected and esteemed a* a man of flin*
sense and vlerllug eharacter.
djB.fferson Davis’s tlrst tnition was at
a log school-house, near his home, b
the educational advantages of thit
time and place were so meager that
when seven years old he was sent to a
Catholic institution known a* ST
Thomas’College, and there under the
guidance of that truly good man and
priest, Father Wallace, aftei ward Bish
op of Nashville, his eduoatlen really
began. After some years In this school
he entered Transylvania University, at
Lexington. Kythen the principal col
legiate institution west of the Alle-
ghanles nod famous many years there
after as the alma mater of a distin
guished array of soldiera and states
men. I a November, -W^- svhan in .iyis
senior year at Transylvania, through
the efforts of Ins brother, Joseph Davis,
he was appointed by President Monroe
a cadet at West Point. The following
year he entered that institution and af
ter pursuing the | cuftomary course of
four years, was graduated in July, 182H
with a very low class standing,— '!he
Pilgrim.
bnt-
the
set
an
amicable understanding between the
mother counties and their daughters
that all the requirements of law should
bft ‘»trlclly compiled with, and that
nothing bn dono in a hurried, half
baked way. 8o far, we Relieve, all
new counties formed have been created
in a.i exparte way. Instead of making
a wedding feast of such separations
and settings up of new housekeepings,
giving presents and throwing rice and*
~old shoes after the departing ones ran
away quickness has been preferred,
perhaps to end In repentance at leisure.
fp&Vc-
II. C Middleton of Clark’s Hill, who
began the agitation In favor of the
havnnah Kiver shoe string county, has
written a strong letter to Aiken and
Kdgetleld papers, urging people to vote
against It until the North Augusta
people aairee to give as good public
buildings as other new counties ln|ve
received a* inducements to their crea^

Land Company, composed largely of
Nortbernjcapltalists, will he the bene-
lltted through the increased values of
rhelr Untied property, and that they
•hould make a better offer than a $3,000
wocrIsMI school house. If the shoe
airing county should be created and
liave to furnish its own public build
ings M yrill he burdmied from the be
ginning by iDheavy 1 debt and high
taxes.
Heretofore this proposed new county
lias been spoken of as a shoe string
proposlllon, and perhaps* it may be like
one In brittleness, hut a little study of
t wmap shows that it bear* moro resem
blance to a gourd than to any otker
tjilug in existence.
And It occurs to us that the descend-
sinu of the great Senator would not like

gerryriiander, and they * have some

HOW TEXAS SUFFERS,
Congressional aid will probably be
sought this winter by Texas farmers
who have lost millions ol dollars from
the ravages of the boll ^eevil, a pe*t
which they have Imen unable to exter
minate. According to later reports,
which seem* to have some foundation,
the Insect has soread to Arkansas and
Louisiana and the problem of getting
rid of'it Is the han1e»t the agrlculfural-
ists have ever been called upon to
*olye. When U was first intimated
t the enemy was at work in Texas,
the Idea prevailed that it was merelv a
report started by speculator , bu: de
velopments of late,prove beyond doubt J_clnim
that it Is a greater danger than was at
first anticipated. Indeed, it is claltiled
that the damage In. Texaa alone
amounts to $»0,0U0,(XK) a year, which
will account for the tremendous desire
to have Ihfi weevil wiped out.
It was suggested to the Texas.J>eg-
islatiire by experts of the Agriculture^
Department that no more cotton lie
planted along the Kin Grande River
for two year* so that the a*sa**in could
bo starved out. That looked to be a
simple way.of settling the difficulty,
but the plan was not available when It
was remembered that river farmers
would have to plant or l»e star ved tliem-
selve*.—Greenville News.
THE COMMONPLACE GIRL.
“Many think the commonplace girl
is a social failure, hul she is not,” says
an observing woman. “As a rale, the
brilliant and unusual girl* receive more
than their fight share of praise; but
we cannot help loving the common
place girl for the nice little part she
!>laya in life. Yet we seldom tell her
so.
"Th*commonplace girl—I mean the
girl who has nothing noticeably bril
liant in her life—Is so apt to underesti
mate her worth. You know that from
time to time she lias come to you for
comfort because she dtclared she wa*
a social failure and so bf.iinary and
cotntponplace.
“Why, It is Just these dear, bright,
little comnionplace girls that make up
the greater part of the world; it D the
commonplace men ami women w ho at
tend to the stiiall but necessary matters
that go to make up the greater suttv to
tal of our lives.
" The geniuses are too busy to pav
attention to these small affairs; and,
beside, they are very rare. Men are
always struck by the sweet simplicity
and absence of vanity In the coniinoa-
place girl, and, as a general rule, she
iMhe girl who captivates their hearts.’
