When, Why, and by Whom rhe
kershaw and Lancaster Line
was Surveyed.

Mr.. EDITOR: article in your
paper of Feby. 22nd, states tha
the survey of the Lancaster and
Kershaw line was made sixteen
years ago by Capt. Jas. D. Nell
waine and Capt. @. g. Halle as
surveyors. The line between the
counties was made in 1892 by
Capt. @. II. Ragsdale of Laucas,
ter and Capt. q. 9. Halle of
kershaw. The counties were
represented by Mr.. J H. Harper,
then county commissioner of Ian =
caster, and MIR Jas Mcdowell, of
Kersbaw. The bone of conten-
tion was not altogether the town
of Kershaw. About that time
kershaw and Fairfield counties
had under consideration advisable
ity of building bridge over the
river at Psay's ferry. Lancaster
county at that time claimed the
ferry 80 an Act was passed by the
Legislature to have he line be-
tween the two counties established
for the purpose Of deciding the
questloa in regard to Peay's ferry
az well as the town of Kershaw
About the year 1920 this line was
run by Mr. Boykln who was dis
trlct surveyor and lived in or be-
low Camden. Why has this ques-
ton been locked up so long2 The
question being ngitated now, We
must have a new county with the
town of Kershaw as the county
seat, which might give an excuse
to create one more jndgeship
No doubt the town of Kershaw
would be very pretty site for q
county seat The next question
would the little town of Heath
Springs accept such a prosposi

1t is difficult to overestimate @
the value to the south of the
Southern Cotton association. To
maintain price Of 10 cents a
pound and restrict production TO
consu nption will mean the brininp
into the cotton States over a hun-
dred million dollars a year that
will otherwise not come here.
South Cardinals share of that wilt
be not less tbanSs, 900, 900 year:
$4,000, 600 of new blood In circu.
latlon; in five years from S4O,-
600, 600 to $50, 900, 900, that will
go to staring thousand new in
dustries which, in turn, will mul :
t'ply wealth. The possibilities
are so great that they appear at
first blush almost fanclful. But
the scheme is not chimerical; it is
a sound business proposition.
Make this movement succeed; let
business men run it and
grind up every politician who at
tempts to clog the machinery, and
the south will quickly become the
wonder of the world. So let u,
get together. The State.

 Death Follows.

Louisville, Ky.-Bscause she piled the child with whisky and wine that she might sicken him and create distaste for the liquor, Mrs. Eliza Thurstond fiye-year-old son is dead. Coroner HsS- ris Kelly said his death was due to aeuts alcoholism.
 Thurston came into poeoession of c jug of wine and quart of whisky. and he and his wife indulged in . celebra- tion. When they reached the stase oe intoxication they piled the child freely with the liquor.
 Some time later the boy was foano- unconscious. A doctor was called ins but the poison had taken too deep . hold on the little victims system to bo shaken of, and dsath finally ensuao from convulsions. s'
 The mother told Coroner Kelly th0e in giving the child liquor she tACaSAS to dose him sufficiently to make hiu have a distaste for it. :.
 After Q full investigation the coroos1 is satisfied there was no criminal ins tent and that at the worst it Is . caao of ignorance in parents, 50 he will nct order . prosecution.

SWEARS HIS WIFE
 RUINED HIS HOME FORMER CHICAGO DOCTOR SEEKS DIVORCE IN OKLAHOMA. SENTENCED HIM TO HELL. Says Spouse Told Him to Put on His Asbestos Clothes-Drove Away
 His Patients and Ruined
 Practice.
SENTENCED HIM TO HELL.

Guthrie, Okla,-In his petition for q divorce from his wife, Dr. D. Rose, until recently of Chicago, makes the sworn statement that in 1901, at one O. clock in the morning, his wife rushed to his room in his Chicago home, rapped on the door, and in an angry way cried out to him: You are wanted in hell-put on your as- bestos suit.' The divorce petition was filed in the district court at Oklahoma City, naming his wife, Alice Rose, as defendant. Mir. Rose relates that they were married in Norfolk county, Canada, May 6, 1879, and that their one child, Edith, born in 1883, is now married.
 Dr. Rose, in his petition, says that in 1892 his wife made the statement: "I will ruin your business in Chicago; will spend every dollar you can earn and make life hell for you" He also says she has putfinto effect the threat since then. He alleges that ever since mar riage he has been apracticing physician; i; that he practiced his profession in Nor folk county until 1882. when he moved to Chicago and engaged in practice. He alleges that Mrs. Rose objected, and made therefore threats. He ayers that she strove to prevent him from success fully practicing in Chicago. and fre- quently told him she would be glad when business was dull and she hoped the doc tors would run him out of the city.
 In bis petition Dr. Rose makes the fol- lowing additional allegations against his wife: That when Edith, their daughter, reached the age of under standing, Mrs. Rose told her Rose was beneath his wife and her family; that all her aunts, except one, on her fathers eide were servants. That Mrs. Rose told Edith her father associated with improper persons and low women. and once said: T tell you, Edith, there Is not a respectable man in Lawndale, in- cluding your father

 Humphreys found the road in his front obstructed by fallen trees and held by few Confederates, who were merely on the lookout and were quick ly dispersed. After Humphreys had es- tablished his line and opened commit nications with Warren he learned from reconnaissance that the Confeder- ates lay in force behind some new in trenchments about a thousand yards from his front line. On the Confeder- ate flank tine troops were screened by woods. and the ground in front was swampy. A road led from the enemy's line over solid open ground to the cen ter of Humphreys position.
 General Lee had been promptly ad- yised of the movements of Grants forces to the south and west of Peters burg and promptly concentrated parts of the corps 0f General A. r. Hill and General John F. Gordon to save his threatened bread line The new Con- federate intrenchments seen in front of Humphreys had sprung up in s night for the defense of the Boydton road be- tween Dinwiddie Court House and Pe- tersburg. X little after p. n. on the Eth the Confederate artillery opened upon the center of Humphreys line. held by the division of General Smyth. and their infantry. screened by the woods of Smyth's right flank. made a determined attack. Opportulely Hun phreys had sent fresh brigade to the right to support SInyth's flank. and heavy and altogether unexpected mus ketry fire from that quarter threw the enemy into confusion. and the whole attack failed to shake Humphreys line.
 Although victorious in his first brush with the enemy. Humphreys prepared for another attack and called up a fresh brigade from General Miles and
