US DOWN EASY ON THE NEW
COUNTY PROJECT.
/. i
J-ake CiTY, December 24:?!
With not one least desire to injure,
Williamsburg- and with feelings
only of the tenderest affection for
theuear old mother, the upper por-!
? tion of the county is going about:
getting ready to set up house-keeping
for itself. In the mind of our
people that time whicn was bound
to come sooner or later is now at
hand when a part of the county
must voluntarily withdraw and euter
corporate existence, or else he forcibly
taken away to unite with sections
of other counties for such existence.
Iu the natural course of
events it is impossible that Williamsburg,
with its uearly twelve huudred
square miles of territory, to remain
intact indefinitely. Dismembermeat
must come and we may as well
prepare to meet the invitable.
The movement to form a new
county out of the northern part of
Williamsburg is not a hasty nor illadvised
movement, but is launched
after mature deliberation and careful
consideration of the times and
circumstances. The plans are all
laid with care and definteness and
now the enterprise will be pathed
with no Ion of time and without relaxation
of vigor.
The project is to cat off of the np.
per end of this conntj the required
territory and not invade either
Florence or Glkrendon. The area
of Williamsbarg is so great that this
can be done and still leave enough
for a county about as large as Clarendon.
The intention is to take no
m/\?o than a aifa mnroin A ho VP the
constitutional requirement. The
"old homestead'' shall be cut no
deeper than i9 imperative. Therefore,
the dividiug line will begin at
< - the point where the western boundary
line of Williamsburg crosses
Black river; thence it will run
straight to the southern boundary of
the town of Cades and will follow
this boundary to the southeastern
corner; thence in a straight line,to
White Oak swamp at the point
where the old Georgetown railroad
i grade crosses; thence down the
channel of said swamp to its mouth
in McCottry's Lake; thence down
this lake and the succeeding lakes
that form a chain emptying into
Black Mingo; and on down the center
of Black Mingo to the George,
town county line. This will give
new county about four hundred
L and twenty-five square miles and
" 11 V?y-v miAn/1 /\1 kav
y win ica^c iaj tuu ^iouu uiu uiuuici
about six hundred and fifty. This
will give the necessary area, property
and population, and will leave the
old county in good and lawful condition.
We all wish we could keep the
dear old name of Williamsburg with
all of its tender memories, but that
may not be. Therefore, a new name
most-be given the baby and the
name whicli has been determined
upon is Rutledge. This is in honor
of John Rutledge. If there is a
name in all Sonth Carolina's galaxy
of the great and noble which has
not received the honor it deserves,
1
it is John Rutledge. He was governor
of the State before the Revolution,
and when, in March, 1776,

tion of independence of Great Britan
and all the world,and set np herself
as a free and sovereign nation, he
was made president of this State
republic. He was a member of the
f Stamp Act convention of both Continental
congresses and a leading
meujuer ui me uuutcuuuu mat
formed the constitution of the Unitted
States and was one of the fmrn-i
era of that famous instrument. Upoh
thev establishment of the federal
gdrernment Rutledge was made the
first chief jnstice of the supreme
court of South Carolina, and in 1795
he was appointed chief justice of
' the supereme court of the United
'States. These are only a few of the
leading facts of his lite. Sorely
this latest ooanty will honor itself
in perpetuating the name of RatI""""""
t. ; tata**. _ i r -
Rutledge county.
Luke City, of course, is to be the
county seat of Rutledge county and 1
this town pledges herself to furnish
the site and build a good, handsome
and convenient court house and a
good, safe jail, and give ail of it to !
the county. The court house will
be conveniently located upon a large
square. Already several thousand
dollars have been raised for the purposes
mentioned aud while the town
promises these county buiidi.igs,
many from the country and the
other towns of the proposed county
are assisting liberally.
An organization has been perfected
for the purpose of having tie}
matter carried on systematically and
thoroughly, and the different lines
lot w01 k nave oeen assigueu iu wm
! mittees. These committees have
gone to work vigorously, aud the indications
point decidely to a defi lite
determiuatiou within a few weeks
that the number of counties has been
raised one more. Not many moons
$hall wax and wane before Rutledge
county will stand beside his fortytwo
brothers, the youngest, reckoniug
by time, but the equal of any*
manhood, houor, patriotism ani
progressiveness being considered.
It is indeed with feelings of sadness
that we essay to leave the old
roof tree, but the times seem to urge
it; the coarse of human events ap- ,
pear to necessitate it. In the life of
every vouug man the time comes
when he mast bid the dear old
folks good bye, when he most go
oat iato the world and baild for
himself a home, when though fate
with bloody hands sweep his heart .

new man, new woman, new ties, new
affections, so also,;ia the day at haud
when Kutledge county must build a
new altar,around which shall gather
those who join with us in worship*
ing at the shrine. Go, it seems we
must; aud we beg to be permitted to
depart in peace with bitterness to
none,but kindly good will to all.

Johnsonville, D cumber 28:?
Of all the manj moves made by the
bishop at the recent Confereuce,oue
concerned ns more that all others
together. Sd great was our surprise
when.we learned that we had lost
our beloved pastor, Rev. T.J. Clyde,
indignation would be morec haracter-'
istic of the feelings which moved us.
We had labored for yearn trying to
make the most of existing conditions,
but progress had been rather "up
hill" business. When Brother
Clyde came we realized a great man
had been sent to us. We rejoiced
and were exceedingly glad.Throughout
the entire charge a deep spiritual
awakening was in evidence attaining >
its climax in far-reaching Jrevivals
in almost every church and resulting
in more than one hundred accessions
to the various churches. The
report this >ear was the best in
many years, both spiritually and
financially. Our young people have
been in close sympathy with the
church work, one of the most pro
nounced results of our dear pastor's
labor.
it is indeed a hard blow to us. ,
Just as we thought everything secure
and were happy over the great
progress in our midst, lo, our be
loved pastor is sent from as. 't
However, our loss is_but gain for
others. We can hope only that the <
people of his new charge can appre- <
ciate the love and tender care of this 1
noble man of God. They are blessed j
in having Brother Clyde in their i
midst. j
We try to be loyal Methodists and i
so shall support our new pastor }oy* ]
ally and hope his work among us
shall be wonderfully blessed. J

QUICK IN RETORT. 1
Stories of Some Masters of the Gontfo
Art of Repartee.
Senator Inealls was always quick
in retort, although he was himself
a subject of some sharp shafts. Once
he was attacked by Senator Eli
Saulsbury of Delaware, the second
smallest state in the Union. He
disposed of the whole matter by sayin?.
"I thank the senator from that
great state which has three counties
at low tide and two counties at high
tide for his advice."
John Randolph of Roanoke was
the most sarcastic man ever heard
in the halls of congress, unless David
A. De Armond of Missouri be an
exception. Both Randolph's and
De Armour's speeches driji vitriol,
but they are not epigrammatic and
are hard to quote. Randolph, who
flourished in the early days of the '
republic, when things were all unsettled,
was furiously attacked by a
Republican from Rhode Island who
had been a blacksmith. Randolph
was a descendant of Pocahontas and j
of the best blood of aristocratic Virginia.
He replied to the presumptuous
blacksmith: "What credentials
does the gentleman bring?
From whence does he spring? And
why has he left his leather apron
behind ?" The reply was hissed
back, "I sent it to Pocahontas to
? # ? I
make moccasins ior ma granacmi*
dren."
An illustration of the nimble and
caustic wit of Alexander H. Stephens
of Georgia in senatorial delate
occurred on the senate floor
during a heated argument with Robert
Toombs, also of Georgia. Stephens,
although possessed of one of |
the most powerful brains of his
time, was lame and had a wizened
little body. Toombs was one of the
largest men in the senate and was
of a blustering, sputtering type. He
had argued with Stephens until he
was hoarse and became so exasperated
that he threatened to fight
However, consideration of the size
of his opponent deterred him, and,
turning, he said, "I wdh't fight you,
but I could swallow you whole."
Stephens quickly retorted, "If you
did you would have more brains in
tTnim of/->ma<->Vi than van PTOr hlil itl
your head," ? Frederic J. Raskin
in Louisville Courier-Journal.
Th? Widow's Dog.
A case was recently tried in a justice's
court in which a common old
fashioned hound was the subject of
contention. This hound was alleged
to be the best dog after coons in the
neighborhood. Two men claimed'
the dog, and each employed an attorney
to assist in the case. At the
trial it developed that the dog belonged
to a widow residing in the
neighborhood, and the justice gave
the custody of the dog to the widow
and assessed a fine against each of
the litigants in the sum of $10.
They paid the fine, and the justice
gave it to the widow. She then said
that either of the litigants could
use the dog when he wished, pro*
vided that neither of them paid his
lawyer. It is reported that the at

At one time in a certain penitentiary
there was a renaissance in the
moral discipline of the prison, and
all were compelled to attend chapel
regularly. One of the prisoners
came to the warden one day and
begged to be allowed to remain
away from the chapel exercises, as
he wanted Sundays to wtite letters
to his friends. The warden looked
at the beseeching convict in amazement.
"VThat," he exclaimed, "allow
you to stay away from religious
exercises all the time! No, sir.
Why, man, don't you know that's
part of the penalty ?' And the convict
continued to worship regularly,
while the warden led in prayer. .
Superstition In Calcutta.
The grossest superstition exists 1
In Calcutta. Not long ago an In
dian gentleman residing in J son
Bazar sf&et had a lire goat flung
down from hia two storied house in
locordance with the directions of a
to oailed magician, who was called
in to cast out a devil with which a 1
ion was supposed to be possessed, i
Ihe poor brute was first fed with a
few bamboo leaves over which the (
aiaard mumbled some mantras, and
it was then pushed over the terraoe. J
Ihe animal was killed, and its flesh
ru distributed to the poor.

ARE YOU SDRE YOUR KIDNEYS ARE 1
HELL?
Many rht un at'c uttaeks are due ^
to uric acid in the blooJ. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove all
uric acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't dally with "uric acid
solvents." You might go on till 1
doomsday with them, but until yon 1
cure the kidneys you will never get j
well'. Doan's Kidney Pills not only (
remove uric acid, bnt cure the kid- ;
neys and then all lunger from uric j
acid is ended.
