SETTLED FAVOR OF ROCHELLE.
Abbeville Will Lose County Site OF
Wilcox.

Everyone in Americus remembers
the litigation and.trouble which. was
brought about few years since in an
effort to change the county seat of
Wilcox county from Abbeville to Ro-
chelle. This has finally been done
rather unexpectedly. The board of
county commissioners of Wilcox in
regular monthly session at Abbeville
Monday passed an order establishing
and locating the county site of Wilcox
county at Rochelle. They proceeded
under the act of 1857, setting up Will
COX county and the act of 1879 supple
mental to and explanatory thereof.
Both these acts declare that the coun-
ty site shall be established at some
central and convenient point. Unless
an Injunction shall be sued out against
the carrying into effect of this action
of the board it will put an end to a
long and bitter controversy.
