Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory IL the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The EXTRAORDINARY nopuIaritv of AM

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter Of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary. with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

without, the proposed new county.
Still another objection is that the
governor allowed the original petition
for the new county to be amended so
as to bring in new territory and new
people; that the governor had no
power under the law to allow such
amendme ent, and that therefore his
proclamation, ordering the election is
null and void andwithout force oflaw.
OF a much more startling nature
are some of the other points upon
which the court will be asked to halt
the election, and these points may
have far reaching effects in other di-
rectio1s than !, the new county mat
ter. One of the surprising statements
is that there are really no legal books
of registration in this county at this
time, which means, in fact, that there
are really no qualified legal voters in
Orangeburg county today.
This statement is based upon the
following facts:
First. The constitution of 1895 re-
:quires that there shall be new en-
.rollment of every voter once in every,
10 years. This has not been done.
Second. The constitution provided
that a separate record of all voters
registered before January, 1898, should
be made up and filed in the offices of
the clerk of the court and the secre-
tary of state. That was never done
in this county.
Third. The State law requires that
the registration books be revised be-
fore every election. The registration
books of Orangeburg county have
never been revised in any particular.
Fourth. The law of Februry, 1897,
requires that the supervisors Of regis
tration shall open their books of reg
istration in all towns of the county
containing more than 800 inhabitants.
This has not been done in Orange
burg county.

CALHOUN COUNTY FIGHT
TN SUPREME COURT.
Election Law Will be Tested-RuIe to
Show Cause Issued, Which is
Returnabie Tomorrow.

Judge Eugens B. Gary, of the Su-
preme court has issued a rule to show
cause why the election for the estab-
ishment of Calhoun county should
not be stopped. The order is made
returnable tomorrow, the. 18TH, and
the outcome is awaited with inter
est.
Last Wednesday Messrs. w. C.
Wolfe, D. O. Herbnrt and B. Fl. Moss,
attorneys from Orangebnrg appeared
before Mr.. Gary in behalf of those in
opposition to the new county.
1t is alleged that the constitution of
1895 has not been complied with in
the matter of issuing registration GER
tifcates. Some of the attorneys stat
ed that, should the supreme court de-
eide in their favor when the case
comes up on it's merits, the ehtire
election machinery of,the State would
be upset. But better so now, they
argue, when there is no congressional
election at stake, than next year, for
if,compliance with the election ma
chinery has been wrong, then the
evils may be corrected.
A statement prepared by attorneys
who appeared against Calhoun county
says:
The most important point that will
be raised is that the act under which
the election is proposed to be held in
Unconstitutional and therefore null
and void. This is the same point
touched upon by the attorney general
some days ago in his decision that
persons who resides within the terri
tory of the proposed new county, but
whoss regular voting places were out
side of this area, could not vote upon
the question of new county.
It will be stated to the court that
the.proposed lines have been run in
utter disregard of the lines of the
township and polling precincts of
OraDgeburg county, and in several
cases the townships and polling pre-
cincts are cut up and divided SO as to
include the greater part of the town
ship or polling precinct, and exclude
the polling or voting place, and such
is the case with Orange, Goodbys and
Poplar townships. For instance,
Dantzler's mill and Elloree are the
only voting places in Goodbys and
optdI co"llSlIIpS cuO tGucy arc lciU
outside of the proposed new county,
and those persons who vote at these
places and who reside within the pro-
posed new county territory will be de-
prived of exercising their constitu-
tional right of voting upon the ques-
tion. This is in direct conflict with
the provisions of the constitution of
the State, which upon the question of
the establishment of new counties
plainly says that all the qualified elec-
tors residing within the territory con-
shutting the proposed new county |
shall have the right to vote in such
election for or against the creation of |
such new county.
Another point of objection is that !
and lines of the proposed
lew county are not surveyed and
'plainly Marked" as required by law
with such clearness to enable those
to know certainly where
hese lines are located, and who
!mong those residing near the pro-
'osed new lines, are within and who

When the matter came up before. sew

and also giving us control OF the sched-

upon It.
