It would be interesting to know \

Speaking of liquor and crime, a
the Florence Time? tells us that
u
women cause more fights than c
liquor, yet nobody has gotten up c
a movement to exclude the women d
from the country". In passing, E
we may remark that it would not .
be a bad idea to exclude from the .
t
sou utry the class of women that
Muses more lights than liquor. (
The town oi Florence is mak- c
t
ing a campaigu against the re- ,
appointment of their negro post- c
master. Joshua Wilson, who has!s
been foisted upon them for a num-1 c
ber of years. The white people *

hope that their demand will be j
somplied with by the government. g

John Ratledge was undoubtedly
a sincere patriot and a very great j
man, being, we believe, governor
of South Carolina during the
itrennous days of the Revolution. ?

ledge, were he consulted, would he
entirely too patriotic to waDt
ne of the poorest counties of his
native State cut into two still
poorer ones to perpetuate his name
and fame.

The total area of Williamsburg
aounty, to the best of our information,
is about 950 square miles.
Take away one-third, as our Lake
City friends say they propose to
d<v and there would be left 63?
miles. The claim is made that
the one-third they want to cut
off contains $3,000,000 taxable
property. Since the auditor's books
!' "
ihow oaly about | $4,100,000 f? i
the entire county, it seems to us I
that to take away $3,000,000 of j
this amount would make the re-'
raaitider fall short of $2,000,000
required to remain in the old
louuty.

but by legal chicanery were'

je allowed to rest as it is? The
natter of constitutional amendnent
should be again submitted
o the people, making the sessions
[Uadrenmal, however, in lieu of
jieiinial. This would mean the:
lirect saving of 850,000 a year
,o our debt-burdened State, and I
ndirectlv many thousands more j
hat now being squandered by
fool" legislation.

Editor County Record: Some
ime ago in one of your editor*
ais, discussing tne new county
iropaganda, you suggested the
ormation of a county out of the
ower portion of Williamsburg
ind the upper portion of Georgeown.
The writer has bad the
opportunity oi discussing this
ssue "with many men of many
nindi" throughtoat this county
md have yet to find one who
roald not favor such a moveoent,
or who does not even reommend
the establishing of a
ourt house in that section. Inleed,
any impartial, fair-minded
nan finds little trouble in reading
such a conclusion when he
s induced to considei the mater.
Probably no section of South
Carolina needs and deserves
nore a court house within its
)ounds than does that comprelended
between Lynch's river
>n the north and Santee on the
outh and between lines conlectmg
these rivers, and ex- j
i 11_i . J t.
cuuiug jjd.id.11ei iu iinu lying
bout eight miles east and west
>f the railroad, which is being
iuilt from Rosemary northward.
l central and otherwise very
uitable location may be had on
his railroad for county site,
hus requiring no citizen to go ,
nrther than twelve miles by
irivate conveyance. ,
80 far as the Lake City movement
is concerned no one in the
iroposed area need expect any
enefit except he live in the vi- |
inity of the court house. Our
>eople have more sense than
ven hope for the contrary.
