Columbia, Special.?The papers filed in the matter of the petition to the pflVArnnr tn r>r.'lr?r nn lirinn ihp ! question of the formation of the new | county of Pee Dee out of the supper | portion of Marion county have been ! carefully examined and "have been found to be regular in every respect, meeting all constitutional and legislative requirements. The assistant attorney general went over the documents with the governor, and they were found in better shape perhaps than any filed in any new county matter. The map shows that the upper 4 ortion of the present country oI Marion is proposed to be taken, with the Atlantic Coast Line bisecting the new county, and with Dillon in the centre for the county seat. Governor McSweeney fixed January ICth as the day for the election to be neiu. ine aavocaies or me new county wanted an earlier date, but it could not be given for several reasons. The numerously signed petition Gled sets forth the following facts, all of whjch are sworn to in attached affidavits prepared in the proper form: "We, the undersigned qualified electors signing the petition and the duplicates thereof, and constituting moro than one-third of the qualified electors residing within the area of the county of Marion set forth and describe below, and which we desire shall be incorporated into a new county respectfully petition your excellency to order an election in the territory proposed to be cut off for a new county from the upper portion of Marion county, upon the question of creating a new county, and upon tne name ana county seat tnereof. We propose "Pee Dee" as the name of the proposed new county. We further show that by the United States census of 1900 there are In the 3aid county 0-" Marlon 35,181 Inhabitants; that there is more than one one hundred and twenty-fourth part of the population of the State within the boundaries of the proposed new county, to wit, 17,832 inhabitants, and there is left in the old county of Marion 17,34.1 inhabitants, and there are 992 square miles in the entire county of Marion of which there are 403 square miles in the proposed new county and 592 square miles left in the old county; that the taxable property of the entire county of Marion as shown by the last tax returns of the said county is the sum of $4,403,108, and of that amount there i3 in the proposed new county as shown by the said return the sum of $2,185,32G, and there i3 left in the old county the sum of $2,2f7,7S2 of taxable property; that tho pronnoorl Unco nf olrl new rniTTltV <lf? not run nearer than eight miles of any court house building now established b7 law." The governor's proclamation ordering the election reads as follows: "Whereas petitions signed by the qualified electors of certain sections of Marion county has been filed with me, and from said petitions and accompanying papers It appears that one-third of the qualified electors residing within the area of*each section of the said county proposed to be cut off for a new county have signed said petition, and, "Whereas, the boundaries of the proposed new county, the proposed name, the number of inhabitants, the area, the taxable property, as shown by last tax returns, and the proposed linos for the new county do not run nearer than eight miles to any court house building now established and set forth in said petition: "Now, therefore, I, M. B. McSweeney. governor of the State of South Carolina, in compliance with the requirements of an act of the general assemblv. entitled 'An act to provide for the formation of new counties, etc.. approved March 9, 1896, do hereby order an election in the territory to be cut off for the new county on Thursday, January 16, 1902, to be hold In accordance with the requirements of said act, at which election the electors shall vote 'Yes' or 'No' upon the question of creating a new county, and upon the name and county seat of the proposed county."

Johnson, of flarion, Passes Aw3y. Marlon, Special.?Hon. Wm. D. Johnson died at his home in this ;own Tuesday night at 10 o'clock. The enl of his long, useful and honorable life was peaceful and painless. The members of his family were ail in attend i ance at bis cleaui oca, oeing prep.ireu to expect the sad event In view of the advanced age of the venerable sufferer and of the grave' symptoms bis sickness had developed during the last few days. Chancellor Johnson was in his Mth year, having been Loin in North Carolina, Sept. 9, 1&1S. He came of line old Scotch stock, his ancestors on the maternal side belonging to the prominent Dalrymple family. They followed the fortunes of the Stuarts, and when the hopes of the "bonnie prince," were blasted at Culloden some of them joined the Scottish contingent of exiles that sought refuge along the | banks of the Cape Fear. { Mr. Johnson was educated at Davidson college and at Princeton, and after his graduation located at Bennettsvllle. He studied law and was admitted to the bar, and was thoroughly equipped for his life work. His high character and eminent ability soon found appreciative recognition at the hands of discerning electors, by whom he was sent to the convention that adopted the ordinance of secession, and afterwards chosen State Senator f mm Mgrlhnrn dlstrlpf When hia senatorial term expired the legislature showed its appreciation of his legal talents and his moral rectitude and integrity by electing him to the chancery bench, which he occupied vith credit and ever increasing respect until the Jurisdiction was abolished In 1861?. About that time Mr. Johnson removed to Marion and formed a law partnership with MaJ. J. M. Johnson, Mr. J. M. Johnson, a son-in-law of the chancellor, being afterwards admitted as a partner. This firm did an active and extensive business In Marion and the adjoining counties, and was kept up until a year or more ago when the weight of years and increasing bodily infirmity compelled the venerable senior member to withdraw from the practice. In the meantime the chancellor exhibited the versatill, ty of his strong genius by carrying on successfully one of. the largest agricultural enterprises In this section cf the State. His well known farm at Denoho was a model of scientific agrij culture conducted on a large scale. He was besides a learned authority ! on pomology and horticulture, and his I nraetical mind comprehended every detail of barnyard and'stock farm. A striking proof of the chancell >r's personal integrity, as well r.s his business capacity, is the fact that for more than SO years past through all the depression, uncertainty and vicissitude of that period he managed the affairs of a large tn^st estate involving many thousands of dollars so skilfully and faithfully as to avoid anv depletion of corpus and interest; and he was but recently discharged from the trust with the commendation of fhe court.* Chancellor Johnson married In 1?G1 Miss Sarah Elizabeth McCall of Darlington district, who preceded him to the grave nearly 25 $*ears ago. The surviving children are Messrs. N. M. I ? - ' J T\ 1?.? jonuson anu u. i><tu.rui|jic iiuuui and Mrs. J. W. Johnson of Marion. Mrs. S. A Woods of Darlineton and Mrs. W. McG. Buck of Mullins.
