agraph the opinion says:
"The village was LAID out in

of the owners of the land. The
plaintiff became purchaser
from those persons several years
afterwards. The deeds under

village of Lancaster; they call for

Mr.. Samuel Dunlap was call
ed. The witness was a very old
man. He said that during the
time the county court was held
at Lancaster, a village was laid
out there. He did not know by
what authority. John Simpson.
VIM. Simpson, VIM. Barkley,
Ell Alexander and himself were
the commissioners. He after.
wards understood that another
plat was made out, whether ac-
cording to the former he did not
know. Some of the streets in the
hrst plat were named differently
from the latter.
MIR. Ingram saw a plat of the
village seven or eight years ago.
Mr.. Belk saw one eight or nine
years ago; does nos know what
became OF it except by hearsay :;
was present when Purdy applied
to M'kenna, the plaintiff, for the
plat; he refused to let him have
it. MIR. Bar was present when
the public land was first laid out
for the county court. The main
street was then run out.
1t ought here to be remarked
that it did not appear that any of
the streets were ever actually run
out during the time of the coun-
ty courts, except the main street
and perhaps one cross street, nor
were there any buildings except
on those streets. Mr.. Crockett
saw a plat of the village about
'"elNS years ago.
Mr.. Perry built a house in
Lancaster about twenty years
ago on Gay street; the lot was
SO feet front and 164 feet deep.
Thomas Lee received the origi
nal plat of the village from Jno.
Simpson about fourteen or fif-
teen years ago. The writing at
tached to it was in the hand of
MIR. Eli Alexander; does not re-
collect who else signed it. A
deed was here produced dated
1913, referring to the plat of the
village. Mr.. M'Daniel was EN-.
ployed by MIR. Purdy, (who is
since dead) to lay off piece of
ground for him. He wanted the
plat of the town for that pur-
pose. Purdy told him he once
had it and had let M'Kenna have
it. He went with Purdy to
M'Kenna to get it; Purdy de-
manded it of him bat did not get
it; some warm words passed be-
tween them on that occasion. He
heard M'Kenna afterwards re
gret what had happened; he ac-
kno wledged that ne had it, but
said that it was mislaid and he
could not then find it. Colonel

Lancaster's EARLY History.

When Established. An
Old Decision of the Consti-

Carolina.
Unfortunately, but compara-
lively little is known of Lancas-
ter's early history, which fact
has prompted Mr.. III. Hines, of
the Lancaster bar, to call our at
tention to an old decision of the
unconstitutional Court of South
Carolina" in case carried m
from this county, then district,
which in its statement of facts
contains interesting information
bearing on the towns original
location or establishment. Tie
case was heard in Columbia at

w. M'KENEA V COMMISSIONERS OF
ROADS, LANCASTER DISTRICT.
In 1S0l,W b. and j. s., the owners
OF the land on which the present viii
iage or Lancaster is situated, petition
ed the legislature that village might
be laid out and established; by a res
olution of the legislature, this was or
dered to be done and plat of the viii
lage to be returned. BY an act of 1920
the Commissioners of Roads were di-
rected to open the streets OF the viii
lage according to the original plan.
which they proceeded to execute
Pialntlh, who had been in possession
OF the land over which the streets
were attempted to be opened and who
derived his title from w. b. and J.
s., declared in prohibition against the
commissioners, who pleaded the Act
or 1870, and that they acted in con-
formity thereto. Plaintiff replied that
there was no original plan of the viii
iage; upon proof of the existence of
such plan, and verdict of a iury to
that effect, prohibition dismissed. The
Act of 1920 was no violation of the
constitutional right of the plaintiff.
The declaration in prohibition
stated that the plaintiff was
seized and possessed of certain
freehold, near the village of Lam
caster, and that the commission
ers of the roads, without tender
ing him compensation, were
proceeding to lay out many
streets, which the public good |
did not require, in violation of
his constitutional and legal
rights. The commissioners Jus. |
tilted under an Act of the Legis-
lature passed in 1920, authoriz
ine. them to lay out, or rather to
open certain streets in the viii
lage of Lancaster, according to
the original plan of said village,
recorded in the office of the Sec.
retary of State. The plaintiff re-
piled that there was no original
plan of the village of Lancaster,
by which his lands were liable to
the intrusion and trespass of the
commissioners, etc. Upon which

ASHES OF lola, THE NOVELIST,
TO BE INFERRED THERE.
Tardy Honors to Be Paid TO the
Memory Of the Noted French
Writer by His coun.
trymen.

The removal next month OF the re
mains of lola. the novelist, to an hon
ored place In the Pantheon at Paris
Is striking illustration of how in @
few years the public attitude towards
a man and mans memory car
change. When lola died less than
six years ago he was secure in his
ing writer's. the other two being Tol
stoi and Ibseh. The outcome OF the
Dreyfus case had shown convincingly
that lola had been on the side OF
right and had been truer French
man than his traducers in striving to
undo the wrong committed to the vic
tim OF Devils island, but even then
his funeral was the occasion for dis.
orders that approached dangerously
near to being riots.
When 1t was suggested that Drey.
fus. who owed his life to the inter.
ference OF lola at that critical In.
slant when all France had about be.
come convinced OF his guilt, should
speak at the funeral, there was a
storm of protest, and 1t was not until
Nine. lola appealed for the privilege
OF being allowed to bury her dead
quietly and without pomp that the
funeral was permitted to proceed.
The decision to remove the ashes
OF lola from his present resting place
In the lola lot to the Pantheon was
made In 1906. 1t might have been ac-
complished sooner except that Nine.
lola was never in full sympathy with
the project. She has always contended,
perhaps little bitterly, that no fur.
Their honors are necessary to the fame
Of her husband. The work he did In
literature and the heroic fight for
Dreyfus are held by her to be greater
monuments to his reputation than any
possible action on the part OF his con
.emporaries.
But the nation wants lola in the
Pantheon, Perhaps little pricking Of
the conscience. an echo of the recent
remarkable reaction In public senti-
ment evinced when Dreyfus restored
to rank was wildly applauded by the
very people who formerly Kissed him,
has extended to the memory OF his
only friend of power in the dark days.
March 21 was the first date set for
the removal Of the body to the Pan.
theon, then there was postponement
till April 2. Then 1t was found that
the Pantheon could not be made ready
that early and the date was set for
Tune.
Therefore, with the foremost men
Of France assisting. the body will be
removed, and taken in state to the
place set apart by the nation for per.
