J MOVEMENT TO CUT LOOSE FROM
WILLIAMSBURG?PETITIONS
NUMEROUSLY SIGNED.
T -1- - p:*... If 1 O. T7 1
^ iiy, may 10.?ror several
months, it appears, there has been
growing in this section a feeling that
annexation to Florence county is desirable
and to the best interests of
the upper portion of Williamsburg
county. The matter has been spoken
of quietly for a considerable space,
and it has now assumed definite
shape. From all the information obtainable,
the situation seems to be
' about as follows: As said above, the
feeling of restlessness and desire to
get iiy o Florence county has been
increasing for some time, but positive
steps to express this feeling in
action were taken only lately. Last
week,on learning that a movement
was on foot to cut off from Williamsburg
the area lying north of
Lynch's lake, except that part of
Lake township lying southeast of a
line extending from T S Lee's
* I
place on Lynch's river to the
Williamson crossing on the lake,;
and add this to Florence county? !
on learning of this movement the :
people on the south side of the lake
and -vest of Singletary's swamp
R concluded that the present was the
time, to act and to go along with
H their neighbors north of the lake, j
Therefore, petitions were circulated J
asking that all of that part of;
j Williamsburg lying north of the j
following lines, to wit: beginning
on Lynch's river at Cat hole and
running thence in a straight line
to the mouth of Singletary swamp
Lynch's lake; thence up Singleii

This includes all the territory em-;

SUPREME COURT'S DECISION.
Dismissed Appeal to Nullify Rutledge
County Flection.
' State ex rel McFadden against
State board canvassers, respondent.
Petition dismissed. Opinion by D
E Hydrick, A J."
The foregoing brief paragraph,
which appeared in the daily papers
last Friday tinder the caption "Su^^"N^ons,"
marks the
c , at times heatec
,ne formation of
an to be named Kut- j
1 jdge , with Lake City as the county
seat. With the announcement of
this decision of the highest court,
what has been a foregone conclusion
in the minds of those best
posted on the stidus rerum ever
since the hearing was held in
January, becomes now an absolute
certainty, and the effort to form the
new county along the lines contended
for has ultimately failed.
The next move of the promoters
of the new county, we understand
is to hold an election looking to
the annexation of certain portions
of the "Rutledge" territory to?
Florence county. Petitions for
holding this election emanating from
citizens of Scranton and vicinity
are already in the hands of Governor
Ansel, we are reliably informed,
and it is reported that Lake City
will join in annexation movement.
All this means, of course, more
surveys, more expense, more debt |
and more taxes, which makes those j
who have to foot the bill ponder
as to where we are drifting and
how far we will have to go before a
halt is called.

Crop Conditions?A Bouquet for
The Record?Personal Notes.
. Benson, May 16:?This is the
month of grass and the farmers
usually have as much as they can
Jo to clean it out and let the crops
grow, but for the past few days
:he cool weather has materially
hindered both the young plants and
grass from flourishing. However,
we note considerably more im- (
provement in the stands of cotton
than was observable ten days ago.
Corn in this section bids fair for
a fine harvest, if no serious disaster
should happen. Most of our

are being; dwarfed, but the stands
are good and the soil is well [
broken, awaiting the application of
fertilizers.

ended in a romantic marriage to Mr
Harben, whose books are rare examples
of literary composition. The
circumstances of Mr Harben's life
have brought him into contact with
all kinds of people and with widely
dissimilar conditions, and he has not
failed to take advantage of the
opportunities thus afforded him.
