petition, and said it included that a.
part OF Laurens was to be comprised

ing out Laurens had been made since
the petitioners came to the Legisla-
ture, and the people of Abbeville had
not been put on notice. There had not
been any formal advertisement of their
intention.
Senator Mayfield alluded to the
action of the House on the bill.
Senator j. G.. Evans: "Is this body
bound by the action of the House PD
Senator Hemphill stated that the

tho formation Of "bodies politic.m
under which category Il county was

CLOSING OF THE FAIR.

has been useful and Instructive and has

REPEAL AT LAST.

The Senate passed the Unconditional
Repeal bill last night 10y Il majority OF
eleven. There was n full vote OF the

shows how unjustitiable has been the
d"isorganizing action of the minority in
preventing a vote and blocking leGis-
lation. 1t has been n determined attempt
to overturn the principle of majority
rule.
The Voorhees, bin az passed differs
somewhat from the House bill sent to
the Senate and the House will now have
L, concur in the amendment. Tn"
principle of unconditional repeal Is not
changed or impaired, but the hill con
