To the Honorable the Senate and House Of Re
rcscntutiUcS of The Slute Of South CurOiina:

To the Honorable the Senate and House 0f Rep.
rcscntutivcS of The Slate Of South Curoiina:
The petition of the undersigned, citizens of
the counties of Edgefield and Abbcrille re-
Spectfully represents:
nothing of the expense, to which y large ma.
jority Of the citizens, embraced within the
limits of the boundaries given below, is sub.
jectcd in reaching the present county sites,
induces them to pray your Honorable bodies
10 establish n new county to be made up OF
the territory embraced within the said
boundaries, from Edgefield and Abbeville
counties, which include an are q requisite 1oI
the establishment OF Il county under existing
laws
And your petitioners furthcy pray that tho
county site of said county he established at
Knoxville and Savannah Valley Railroads
since the Court House and Jail will be erected
at that place without expense to the inlabi'
tantS Of said new county.

mittcd to the people interested for their sigma
mass 10 the support of the project and tina!
the Legislature will have it before them at Il

Mccormick Irrance.
OF course no such county as Mccormick
will be granted by the Legislature at its pres
cnt sitting. Lowndesville, Ninety.SiN, and
Honea Path, have equal claims to Il Court
House. If one is granted, why not grant all
and wipe out Abbevllle Court House. AS we
have said before. Troy is more centrally To-
Gated than Mccormick. 1t would be the pro
per place to put the Court House, if new ont
is to be built.

SOME of our brethren of the press seem to
be wonderfully wrought up as to the possible
ties that might result to the American people
in case of the death of President Cleveland.
We think the GrccnriUe Ne1ls spoke correctly
when it said that it would makcb but little diff
ference to the country If the' capital was to
sink, carry ing with it the entire cabinet. The
welfare of this country does not depend upon
any single man. There are ten thousand men
in the United States either Of whom would
make q good President.
