WILL FIGHT COUNTY I
CUT ^TO BITTER END.
SUCH IS SENTIMENT AT HAMPERS?NEW
COUNTY NEEDED BUT NOT IN
RUTLEDGE AREA.
Harpers, June 7:?People of this
community are watching; with much
interest the movements of the Rut*
- ? 11^ ?: _
ledge county promoters, vvenuuue
that if this new county is laid off
according to the amended petition it
will put our county seat on the extreme
edge of the county. As it now
stands our people here at Harpers
are 26 miles from the county seat.
Lake City,the supposed capital of the
new county, is only 15 miles from
Kingstree and they now intend to
ran the new countyftlines nearly to
the town limits of Kingstree. I must
think that auy reasonable-minded
man in the old county would oppose
this move of the new countyites.
Your scribe believes that Williamsburg
county is too large and should
be cut, but it should be cut so as to
benefit her citizens at large. I don't
believe this new county will ever be
created in the area where it is now
expected, because it will make matters
worse than at present. Let the
people of our old county wake up
and get busy and see that our county I
be not cut to the injury of our people
at large. It is no harder for our
Lake City friends to travel 15 miles
to the county seat than it is for our
people here to travel 25 miles. Our
people here stand ready to do their
part in this matter, but think the
citizens at the county seat should
set the ball to rolling. If the people of
this county sit in idleness our county
will be completely demolished
while we sleep. I voice the sentiments
of the people of this lower part of
the county when I say we will fight
this move to the bitter end, and let's
start the war by getting up and do
ing something now.
The farmers of this community
have some fine crops of both corn
and cotton, but the constant downfalls
of rain and rapidly growing
grass are costing extra expense aud
labor.
The bean crop i3 over and cucumbers
will be shipped now, also melons
will be on the market by June
20.
It is reported here that Harpers
and Rosemary will both go under
one charter and be one town in the
near futnre. The wi iter thinks this
will be to the benefit of both towns.
The name will be changed, but it is
not yet settled what the new town
will be called.
Mr Jack liruorton, the competent
Georgetown dispensary clerk, was
visiting friends in town last Saturday
and Sunday.
The home of Mr and Mrs L Z

Everyone would be benelited by
taking Foley's Oriuo Laxative for
constipation,stomach and liyer trouble,
as it sweetens the stomach and
breath, gently stimulates the liver
and regulates the bowels and is much
superior to pills and ordinary laxatives.
Why not try Foley's Orino
Laxative today? D C Scott,

Last,but not least,we,like othjers,
must make complaint of

would like to have him in our
part of the county to see the condition
of our roads. It is impossible
almost to haul fertilizers
every year. And as long as
they are worked as they are, we
will not have any better roads
in our section,

Women Who Are Envied.
Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or Kiduey poisons show in pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. For all such,
Electric Bitters work wonders. Thev
regulate Stomach, Liver and Kidneys,
purify the blood; give strong
nerves, bright eyes, pare breath,
smooth, velvety skin, lovely complexion.
Many charming women owe
their health and beauty to them. 50c

Call for Council ef Red Shirt Patriots
to Be Held in Anderson.
Anderson, June 5:?A call has
been issued for a council of that patriotic
army of men who wore the
red shirts in 1870 to be held in Anderson
on Tnursday, June 24, at 11

that infested the E the days of
Reconstruction has' ci.made for the
purpose of arranging a date and
place for holding a grand reunion of
the Red Shirt men of the State some
in A ncrnct

This council at Anderson on the
24th will also appoint a committee
to draft a constitution to place before
the August meeting for the purpose
of forming a survivors' association
ot the "men who wore the red
in 1876."
The signers of this call trust that
each county of the State will have a
good delegation at the council in
Anderson and that no Red Shirt
veteran will feel slighted by the absence
of his name from the call, as
it was apparent from the beginning
that a whole newspaper would
scarcely contain the names of all
those who wished to endorse this
call.
