The election commiaaionera met in Darlington Tuesday to tabulate the rotes for the new countr. The Salem people were repreeented by Messrs. Townsend and Floyd and those opposed by E. Keith Dargon and Geo. W. Brown. After listening to eloquec t appeals pro and oon from the attorneys the commissioners retired to settle the question and the re suit is that the new county is killed at feast for the present. The following is the rote as tab ulated: Ashland; Tea ** No 18 Scattering 6 No not counted by managers 33 No from HarUville box counted by managers 8 Total 157 Name of county Salem $8 7 County seat BishopTille 98 Vote not naming county seat 1 Total 99 The Harter ille rotes were . oast at the Ashland box. i Cypress: Yes 70 Yes scratched 4 No tickets counted t by managers 3 No vote# not counted by managers 40 Total 123 Name of County Salem 79 Name oi county seat Bishoprille 63 - Wisacky 18 Lamar: Yes 4$ No 77 Total 126 Name of county Salem 98 Name of oounnty seat Bishop ville 10 Wisacky 88 Thus it will be seen that the new ooun$y received 328 rotes to 172 against It as the rotes not counted by the managers were counted by the commis sioners. The name Salem re- ceired 278, Bishoprille as coun ty: seat 171 and Wisacky 106. Messrs, Townsend and Floyd hare filed a pretest and will appeal to the Legislature *t its next session. The Legislature will hardly fererM the decision, as it is perfectly erident that Salem county could not secure the requisite two-thirds majority except by meant of teohnicaU- tiest which wed* defeat the Intent of the law, A splendid Sourenir edition of the Anderson InUUigtnMr has been issued by Messrs. CUnckscalefi and Langston, the enterprising proprietors of the /nteOspsaoer. This special edi lion contains 84 pages in large pamphlet form, and is profuse ly Qlastrated with pictures of buildings, man dee., in Ander non oounty. Not only is the town of Anderion corered in good stylo, hut nU of tha small tonna in the county are treated in Hs* manner. The proprie tors of tha luitUignoer and tha of Andernon art to bo «pon thti feoet exe$ t piece of work which cent out to tha world iujntterto Too latest oa docket is to the effect that John Gary ia to be elected Chief Justice of South Carolina. There ie, however, a feeling among all claeaee of people, regardless of faction, that the Gary family has had its full share of public pap ana that the family needs no more offices to reimburse itself for the failure of Gen. Gary to be come Governor. It is probable, therefore, that the time is not far distant when the heads of the Gary family will begin to fall one by one into the basket, indeed if it has not already be gun in the defeatof John Gary Evans for the Senate. And now comes a complaint from Lamar about the working of the roads. Dr. Hayden, in hie article in Thu News feat week, claimed that the money paid by, oitisens of Meohahics- ville for read tax hadbepn spent in Lamarhnd ether town ships— bat a citixen from Lamar says that the roads have been work' ed very little i n t h e town ship of Lamar and that ths roads in this com mnnity are in a very bad con dition. And so it goes—ths law doss not seem to work sat- isfaotorilp in any part of ths oounty, it matters not where thetronble isor wbois to bfeme. If there ie as much complaint in other parts of the State as there is in Darlington, the Leg islature ought to amend the law or change it in someway so that it will meet the require meats of the people better. The old system of working the roads was bad enough, bat, as things stand now, the new is worse. An effort is being made to have a bill intrduoed in the Missouri Legislature making it a misdemeanor to play foot ball. If those who play foot ball would conduct themselves like gentlemen instead of en gage'ng in a rough and tumble, flgut there never would be any oocasion for such a law. In spite of the roughness and danger of the game it is not wise to try to regulate boys and young men by law in suoh matters. Let the College faculties take foot ball in hand and let Leg islators let it alone and attend to other things of vastly more importance. The Kershaw election com missioners hare met and over ruled the protest against the election for the new county. If the new county fails in one county it is dead, unless there is some higher power to refer the question to. Charles R. Crisp has been nominated for Congress to fill out the unexpired term of his father. As them it no oppo sition to him he will probably be elected and serve as Con gressman until March 4th next. •m* hi • • The football championship now lies between Gfemson and Wofford colleges, the 8.

Mrs. Allston on account of her age was seated in the hall. The President upon seeing her inquired who she was and beg ged to be presented to her. This was done, and Mr Cleveland making a 16w bow, assured Mrs Allston that be esteemed it a high honor that she should have graced the occasion with her presence. Further on the account reads: “The President also spoke to one of the gentlemen present of the honor done him by the pres ence of Mrs. Allston, who at her great age had driven twenty eight miles to do honor to the man she admired for his stead fastness and principle.” Mrs. 1 Iston’s remains were laid to rest in her family tomb in the churchyard of the parish church of Prince George’s Win- yah on Saturday, in the pres ence of her son, the Rev. Ben jamin Allston, of Winnsboro, and her daughters, Mrs. John Julius Pringle, Mrs. Charles Albert Hill and Mrs Arnoldus Vanderhorst, of this city, and numerous relatives and friends. —Netoa and Courier.

B Y ORDER OP THE COUNTY board os commissioners I am instructed to say that unless changes are made in the law by the next Legislature, there will be no extention of time for the collection of commutation or road tax for the fiscal year 1897, which will commence Jan uary 1st next, as there will be no law or excuse for so doing. The. road tax can be paid to the Treasurer from now until Dec. 31st, 1896; and not later, as the county or township commission ers will have no authority to allow the Treasurer or any other person to collect said taxes after that date. The com mutation tax will be one dollar for the year 1897, or work on the roads and bridges four days during the year, as directed by the Township commissioners. •A eeatomar whew wlfa mad ‘MotW* Friend, •ay* that it Mm had to to through the ordeal aaia, and there were bat four bottlee to bo obtained, and tb* ooet waa *10040 per bottle, b* wonldhavothoMT Gao.Lattok,Dayton,Ohio. •bW information and voluntary tnatimooinU.

The County Super visor has no authority to ex empt or excuse persons from road duty . Certificates from doctors do not exempt or excuse persons from road duty. This fiscal year has been changed from Nov. 1st to Jan. 1st. Claims will be received and placed in the present fiscal year against the county until Doc. 31st, 1896. After that date all claims presented will go into the next fiscal year, or the fiscal year 1897. As will be seen the present fiscal year will have fourteen months instead of twelve and no spe cial appropriations for it. From experience, it is known that work done on the roads during the Winter months is not profi table and the Township com missioners are instructed to do only such work as is necessary to fix the roads so that the traveling public will not be stopped or placed in any dan ger by traveling the roads.
