I L/C?>UUiUVI v wm j ^ As was well known there wai a serious split in the old board eon sisting of John H McCaskall, S. J. Lewis and Supervisor A. C. Murrell. They disagreed upon several important questions arising in the office over the expenditure of certain funds and the location of a certain bridge. They could do nothing because of these serious differences for many months last Summer and finally as above stated there were no regular meetings of the full board at all. At the present session of the Legislature two new members of the county board were appointed, to wit, D. V. Richardson and Chester Hooks, they with Supervisor A C Murrell, to form the board. Roth of the new members of the board we understand, had received their appoint men ts from Gov. Blease, but although they have made their bonds, as the Herald was unformed, still they were without commissions when the board, the new board, -hould have had its first meeting on last Tuesday. Mr. Richardson was in town on that day but stated that oe had not received any commission. Vlr Hooks may have been in town out he was not interviewed. So the month of February will no doubt pass away still without a meeting )f the board. Many holders of county claims are needing their noney, but they cannot got it from ffie County treasury until their daims have beehi audited and aooroved. and no claims can be audted and approved until a board lolds its meeting after all members mereoi nave oeen commissiuutju uuu luly qualified. Whether the com omissions have been held up in the ollice cf the 3overnor, for reasons political or otherwise, is more than anyone knows. And still the Ion# suffering public will be put to inconvenience oy reason of no regular meetings of the county board. * 17,000 FIG TREES PLANTED. Orchards Company Will Set Out 17,000 Others Soon. It will be romembered that a few nonths ago announcement was Bade that Messrs, G. D. Altman tnd C. M. Grilling had been comuissioned a board of corporators for ihe Orchards Company, which ivould engage in the sale^of real es ;afce in tracts of five acres planted < ,o fig trees, thus promoting com- < nercial tig growing in and around i Charleston. While a charter has lot been applied for, the corpora- i .ors have not been idle. Mr. Alfcuau stated yesterday that te had purchased a tract of nearly 5,000 acres of land in the vicinit}', ind ha9 now just returned from the ; arm, where more than 17,000 trees 1 '1 ?* Laa ?-* %-v I a n nrl lave uirettuy uccu [hmu uru, . Tbese trees are two to three and j hree to four feet sizes, and are 1 ilanted sixteen feet apart each ways < >r about 170 trees per acre. Mr J Utnian stites that this many more, < >r 35.000 trees, will be planted the, J easou. The Celestial variety has ' icon and will be used exclusively, this kind is better adapted to his soil, climate and the ooxpany's ises, which is canning and preservng, than any other. In order to promote this industry m a worthy scale. Mr Altman sta- ? es that he proposes deeding this ^ iroperty to the Orchards, which 1 vill be a 150,000 corporation. 1 Mr C M. Gr fling, who is secre- f ary and .treasurer of the Grilling ( brothers Company, of Jacksouxille, ( 'ha , aud perhaps, the best versed t an in figs and fig growing in \he c >outh, will be president of tho new } orporation, which will have its of- i ices at 46-48 Broad street. I It is stated to be the purpose of i he company to erect preserving, . >lants on the property to take care if the fruit as it comes in from the ! rees. Inasmuch as figs are prolific ] producers, and as a trade in the raw ruit has not been built up, owing , o the fact that it is not a good ship ?*r pvt.ftnsiv? nreservintr nhints I rill, therefore, be necessary when | he trees are older. Literature is now being prepared, . ,nd it is stated that the five-acre >rchards will be placed on the marret in the near future. These will >e sold on the monthly instalment dan for $1,600, beginning with a mall initial payment, the balance >ontinuing over the cultivation and levelopment period. m m m i I Before selling your cotton- and iotton seed, be sure to see George j Marsh in the Spivey Building, , vho is in the business to stay.

Fowler who Issued Ihe Original Papers,--Til man Blackburn Now Considered Better and Will Likely Recover, --Case Will Hardly be Tried at February Term. Ross Blackburn and John Prince, who were lodged in jail here some time ago on a warrant sworn out bv Talmadg* Edwards' people, charging assault and battery with intent to kill, were admitted tc bail last week by Magistrate G. M. Fow ler, who issued the warrant, and the two boys wore turned out of the jail in time to take the afternoon train for their homes on last Friday. Talmage Edwards at last accounts was still coufined at. the Burroughs Infirmary, but was said to be improving and immediate danger from blood poisoning had passed and that he would likely recover. Tilraan Blackburn, who was seriously wound ed by a deep wouud in the lungs, at last accounts, had lingered between iife and death for many days, but seemed to be improving, and the physician believed lie would recover after a long time. Neither of the wounded parties will be able to be present in the court at the February term, and the cases against them in the shape of cross indictments will likely have to stand over until the Fall term of the criminal court. Many peopio in the Lor is and Tabor sections of this county seem to take interest in the outcome of those cases, and both sides are not without friends and sympathizes. M. I). Blackburn was in Conway one day last week to take his son home when the bond was filed with the clerk of the court. ILLUSTRATED LECTURE TO-NIGHT At Epworth Hall Instead of the Burroughs Auditorium,?University Series. Dr. L. P. Chamberlayne of the University of South Carolina will lecture in Epworth Hall to-night (Taursday) at 8 o'clock. His subject will be ' A visit to Greece." He will display a very lint; set of pictures from Greece. This is a very timely lecture not only because of classic lore but especially as Greece is one of the countries now at war with Turkey. This lecture is given under the auspices of the Public Xiibrary, and is tne second of the University F.xtension Lectures iu the series planned by the Library. No doubt a large and interested audience will attend. W? announced last week that the lecture would be delivered in the auditorium of tbo Burroughs School, but later it was found, necessary to change it to Ep worth Hall. So the latter place has been fitted up with a fine lantern and screen, where a large audience can see the picturesl with the greatest ease. The admission will be 15c and 25c.
