Gov. Ansel Orders New
Survey for Calhoun County.

On Monday the commissioners for
the new county Of Calhoun met in
Governor AnsePs Office in Columbia.
Both sides were well represented and
many arguments were made, both for
and against the proposition. The
issue before the Governor, however,
was q dispute about the boundary
lines, one Of which runs through the
incorporate limits Of the town of
sCamaron, which 81 contrary to the law,
governing estab blishpent of new coun-
ties. The reports Of the surveyors
were placed before the Governor, and
after going over every detail in the
matter, he ordered that new surveybe
made and, to4do away with all future
dispntes, which are not at all unlikely
to arise, the Governor ordered that
an additional surveyor he employed
to 90 over the lines with the men who
made the survey before, making three

Mrs. Blair Gets New Trial.

Mrs. Ethel w. Blair, who was cor
victed of manslaghter in the Richard
court last week for the alleged murder
of her husband, Conductor Blair, of
the c. n. and L. railway. has been
granted new trial by Col. George
Johnstone. the presiding Judge.
Col. P. H. Nelson, as leading coun-
sci for the convicted woman, made a
strong and irresistible argument in
behalf of his client, covering grounds
that have never before been covered
in cases of this kind.
1t is very likely that Mrs. Blair will
not be tried again under a year. In
the meantime she will be out on 81, 900
bail.
