new COUNTY IN TANGLE
Calhoun County Proposition Still
Hangs Fire and Governor Ansel
Has Been Asked to Take o Hand.

Columbia, Special.-Another inter-
esting chapter was added 70 the his
tory of the fight ovec the Calhoun
county proposition. 1t came in tho
form of letter received at the Gov
ernor's Office from Chairman Keller,
Of the Calhoun county commissioners,
who reported that on account OF ire
concilable differences in the findings
of the twos surveyors the commission
was unable to agree. The commission
asks for a conference in person with
the Governor here next Monday. In
the absence of tie Governor from the
city Private Secretary Bethea answer
Ell Mr.. Keller that so far SIS he knew
the conference could be had at that
time. Chairman Keller says in his
letter, that Surveyor Stokes, after
making report adverse to the new
county, had gone to Alabama, and re-
fused to meet the commission, but
that Surveyor Handy had made re-
port favorable. The difference be-
tween the two surveyors, Chairman
Keller says in his letter, is due to the
difference in interpreting the records
in the Secretary of States office as
to the corporate limits Of the town Of
Cameron.
"We claim," says the letter, "tbis
is legal point and will have to be
settled by You alone"
1t begins to look likely that the
new county proposition will be tied
up in the courts for some time.
When Mr.. Handy was surveying In
Lexington county on the new county
he was held up by red-neckcd farm
er armed with a shot gun and accom-
panied by three stalwart sons. Mr..
Handy reminded the farmer that he
was sent out by the Governor and il
he intcrfered he would make trouble
for himself.
IT don't care who sent you" said
the farmer, flourishing his gun and
swearing q blue streak. ~ have got
the thing here that will stop you
making them marks on my trees"
Mr.. Handy, who had experience
with bad men in the Florida ever
glades, continued his work in his quiet
way, and the farmer finally concluded
that iti'would be the better part OF
wisdom to respect the authority which
MI. Handy bore, and went away.
