STATE FAIR 5! 55*I Umm Pendleton Wants New Cot The Pendleton correspondent of ,th Anderson Daily Mail: There can be tte doubt now but that a deterrined of- A fort will be made. at an early date tp . form a new county lout of parts of An. derson, Pickens and. Oconee counties. Such a step was forecasted in recent corAespondence in The Daily Mail from this place. A meeting of the people of Pbndleton - wao,held a short time ago and an organ ization effected. Since thiat meeting the executive comniittee having the matter of investigating the facts for and against such a project have gone into the matter fully with the result that the effort looking to the formati0n of the proposed new county, has so far taken shape that within a very short time petitions will Oe submitted to'the qualified electors of the different sic tions of the three old counties to be af 'ected. In the petitions to the governor. asking that an election be held on the question at an early a date as possible it will be shown by a map, corrborated by data furnished by the federal govern- - ment as also state and county author ities, that there will be from 408 to 437 square miles out of which to form a new county while only 400 are required, and that no old county will be reduced to 500 square miles as required by the state constitution. Furthermore, that none of the proposed new county's llirs will run nearer than ,eight miles of the court house buildings of Anderson, Pick ens and Oconee counties as prohibited by the state constitution. And still further, that the assessable taxable property of the proposed new county will be at least one million and a half and will leave in each of the old coun ties of Anderson, Pickens and Oconee assessed taxable property of over two millions. It will be recalled, that several years ago an opportunity was given the people of those secti., of Pickens and Oconee counties which join Anderson county, to become annexed to and form part of Anderson county. At that time, It was understood that, with the addition of the two sections of Pickens and Oconee to-Anderson county, an effort would be made to form a new county. The people of those sections, however, had no as surance that a new county would ever be formed, and if not formed, they, in the event of annexing to Anderson county, would be placed further from the county seat than they were already, and for that reason,'voted against the proposed annexation. The present prop osition, however, is different. It is claimed by those who have the matter in charge, that there is sufficient area in square miles, assessed taxable prop erty, population, etc., in contigious parts of Anderson, Pickens and Oconee coun ties to permit the formation of a new county under the state constitution and not violate any of its provisions rela tive to the counties from parts of which the proposed new county will be form ed. And it is further claimed that a large majority of the people in the sec tions of Pickens and Oconee proposed to be cut off and who were opposed to an nexation to Anderson county several years ago, are now in favor of the pro posed new county and that, not only will the petitions to the governor asking for an early election on the question, be -- signed by one-third the qualified electw ore of the sections to be affected, bdit that two-thirdls will vote in favor of' the new county df an election-is -held. It is understood that the municipal authorit' es of Penleton will shortly sub met hqustioni to the pe~ople whether the town shall he bonded in a sum suf Ificiont to dlefray the expenses involved in the effort to form the new county, as was . recently dlone in the case of the town of Wihaiaton. It Pays to Read the Local Paper From an Exchange. A man in another state was once. asked which of' his several investments paid him the highest rate of interest and he.promptly replhed that it was the dollar and a half he paid on his subscrip, tion to the local paper. "One day I wanted to buy a cow," he said, "and was intending to make a tr ipi of about 15miles to get one that I knew was for sale at a certain price. But. Just before starting I happened to pick up the local paper and noticed that a nearby neighbor' was offering bne of t he same breed at a dollar less than the other one. H~e really sold it to me for I$1 less. I saved a long 30-mile drive and $4 in cash, because I had paid a dollar andahalf for the paper. That was just. one instance, but as a matter of fact saved time and money in [iftee 'tweaty dlifferent ways dluring the, and all thru reading the ads in a that cost me a dollar and a half a y I consider that dollar and a half the best investment I ever made, and I am Investing as regular as the year rolls i'ound, and always with the most satis Sfactory results."
