Salem's Protest Unayalling.

CAMDEN, Nov "a -Uoless the legs
lature chooses TO interfere Bisbopville
will not be county seat for at least
four years
At Camden to-day the board Of cleo
ton commissioners for Kersbaw county
met to tabulate the result Of the recent
election upon the question Of the forua-
tion Of Salem county The board con
sista of Mes>rs. w F. Russell, j N
Jones and G. W. McCaski] A con
test was made before the board as to
the legality aud regularity of the cleo
tiou in this county. The contestants
who favor the new county, were repre-
seoted by Mr.. H. G.. Patton of CcIuu-
bia Three boxes we're contested. aud
tie grounds of contest were 10 some in :
stances that the managers of electioo
were not sworn. 10 some that the regis
tratou books we're no: used to furnish
the list of electors. and some that no
evidence vas required that the voter
bad paid bis poll tax The board over
ruled all Of these objections. holding
that the elections for new counties are
held under special act. and that these
limitations as to suffrage do not apply.
The CONTESTANTS counsel then asked
the board 90 into the boxes aud reject
all illegal ballots-such as we're scratch
ed or defaced 10 any way. or for any
reason did DOT comply with tbe require
ments of the law. The board declined
to do this, claiming that they had no
authority to do anything more than
tabulate the vote
So the effort to secure new election
in this county mas failed; and as the re
suit OF the vote as declared is against
the formation Of Salem county, Salem
will no. be formed thl" year.
The only appeal from the decision Of
the county board is directly to the legis.
la.ure, which body may decide that the
election is void But even 10 that case
the legislature could not order new
election. as under the law only the gov-
nor can order an election on this sub.
jet. 1t IS probable that the legislature
will be appealed to.
Messrs J. T. Hay and G L Wink
Ter were the counsel for those opposing
the contest. E. G WITHERs.

points of distribution there is 90 change

able weather prevents a more active
distribution Of clothing and heavy
goods and the volume moving is small.
er Where business has beeo more
active, it is due to filling in orders and
to the demand for holiday goods Con-
6deuce ia the revival OF demand
which has 20. yet appeared, was respoo-
sible for the starting up of some mills
and factories, which are dissatisfied
with their prospects The most en-
coura giug reports are of an improved
