urday by Sheriff Hunter for service on
the Lancaster county officials. The

risdiction OF the subject and appoint
a commission to determine and locate
the boundary lines between. the said
counties, according to the true intent
and meaning of the statutes dennlng
the same" etc. ... Mr.. ]. L. Whitaker

storm visited Kershaw and vicinity
last Monday afternoon. Crops on the
Capt. Welsh plantation and on the
