Commissioners Get Busy Now.

Whether or not there are steps being
taken to prevent Clarendon from losing
a portion of its territory we know not,
but it strikes US that our county author
tiles who have an attorney employed
should not permit Sandy Grove to be
taken from us by default, or non-actlon
on our part. Clarendon will be forced
to pay for the survey that few persons
interested in the development of the
town of Lake CITY have worked up, and
this being the case, if we are to be
made to pay for a loss of territory, we
should at least have some voice in see
ing that the law is strictly complied
with. We therefore suggest that our
county commissioners instruct their at
torney to investigate this Rutledge
county scheme, and ascertain II the sur
vey and all other requirements are III
accordance with law.
The Rutledge county advocates are
claiming everything, but there is a con-
siderable difference in claiming and
having the goods. Let them show us,
should be the principle to operate on.
The petitions, surveys &c, are up to
the Governor. who will, unless some
thing is done order the election. which
If ordered will entail more expense, but
even if the election is ordered, and the
necessary two-thirds has been obtained,
if the law has not been complied with,
the game of those principally interested
in enhancing property values at Lake
City can be blocked.

A FIFE Chance.

Arrangements have been made tc
give the boys an opportunity to do some
school work during the vacation. Mr..
Perry Jayrowe. q student OF the South
Carolina University, who stands high at
college. is preparing himself for the
profession OF teaching, and while at
home for the vacation he has consented
to teach those who failed of advance
ment and prepare them for promotion
when school opens.
Mr.. Jayro"e has been earnestly So
licited to undertake this work. and we
hope that when he opens his class room
on Monday morning, 18th inst, at the
school house there will be good class.
A word to the boys especially, here is
an opportunity to catch up. Many OF
You did not study rs you should have
during the session, and as a result you
did not pass to a higher grade. If you
will apply yourselves. we are satisfied
that Mr.. Jayrowe will lift you out Of the
grade you remained stuck in, that you
may enter a higher grade when Pro
fessor Daniels return. If you will at
tend this school that those interested in
YOU have secured, you will delight your
parents, and doing yourselves great
good.
BY doing so, your time will be occu-
pied more proitably than lettering
about the streets. Remember this is not
a public school, MIR. Jayrowe will charge
a moderate tuition, and we can assure
the people that his university record
lustifes US in saying ne is very compe-
tent TO teach. The school opens next
Monday morning at the school house.

The New Railroad.

The Summertonians are baving some
hope held out to them that the railroad
which is contemplated by the Santee
Cypress Lumber Co., will 60 to that
town. 1t is said that at least two efforts
have been made recantly by parties liv-
ing in Sumter, who are close observers
of railroad movements, to secure options
on large portion of the business prop
erty OF the town, and lands leading up
to it.
The railroad will be built, but just
where it will 60 we are not in a position
to say; if rumor Is correct, it projectors
propose going to Summerton and on to
Camden over the North western owned
by Capt. Thomas Wilson, or it may
after crossing the river, leave Summer
ton to one side and come on through to
Manning, connect with the Alcolu road
on through Salem, to Hartsville to a
point on the Seaboard railroad. The
fact of options on certain property be-
ing sought is no sign that the railroad
will go to Summerton, but should the
road 60 their Manning will rejoice with
Summerton in the luck.

Will Ask For The Election.

Stewart Starr, of Lake City, secre-
tary of the commission IN re-forma-
ton of Rutledge county, was at the gov
ernor's Office today fling the report of
the commission. This report shows that
every constitutional provision has been
compied with; that the proposed new
county has an area of 404.94 So, miles,
and has population of l4.5lS according
to the census of 1900. Rutledge county,
if formed will have a smaller area than
Calhoun has, by several square miles,
but will have considerable more tax
able property and population than that
county. The cost of the Office survey
was ST, 800 against Williamsburg, $3.50
against Florence sl44 against Claren-
don. While no part of Florence is now
included in the proposed new county,
having been eliminated by amendment
to the petition Florence will have to
pay for the work done in this county
before the change was made. The
Marion survey in Dillon county cost
nearly $1,000, we are told. Now that
the commission has turned in a favor
able report 10 the governor, the law IS
that he has 20 days in which to order an
election which must be held within six
ty days thereafter, though the election
may be set for an earlier date after hay
ing been advertised for 30 days.-Flor-

George Leeare Getting Well.

The announcement, made in a letter
to The News & Courier from the CHAP
lain of the United States Army General
Hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico,
that George Legare is almost restored
to health again, and that he will return
to South Carolina before very long. will
bring the most genuine pleasure to
thousands Of people in this State. Con-
gresham Legare's work has not suffer
ed during his absence, thanks to the
numerous influential and interested
friends in Congress, who have delight
ed TO ''look out" for him in Washington
this winter, but because everybody loves
him personally there will be general
rejoicing that he is fast recovering ms
health, and now needs only to regain his
strength to be his normal self again.
However, the chaplain writes more es-
pecialIy to offer word OF timely warn
ing TO Mr.. Legare's friends. His letter
follows:
To the Editor of The News and Cour-
ier: IT the unforeseen does not occur,
we shall ere long restore to the nation,
to the State of South Carolina, to the
City OF Charleston, to his family and to
host of friends, your distinguished fel-
low citizen, the Hon. George S. Legare.
He did not come here moment too
soon, and he has made splendid prog
ress towards permanent recovery. He
has been up and about for some time
and is getting on beautifully. But be-
ing solicitous for his welfare | would
write a word of caution to the public
reached by your paper. What has been
done may be easily undone by excite
ment and by a too early return to the
eXactions of social, political and Official
life Mr.. Legare's trouble was not con:
tracted in day, but was the result OF
long confinement indoors and deficient
ventilation in crowded halls. Full
strength may be expected to return
slowly.
We love this genial Southern gentle
man, and you and me would have him
long spared to the service of his coun-
try, family and friends.
Dear people of Charleston, please be
considerate of this princely man lest IN
your Joy and thanksgiving over his re-
turn YOU unintentionally do him much
harm. He may look well and be much

You can best show your regard for
him and his family by permitting him
to remain in comparative quiet for some
months after his return.
He has won all hearts here: he has
been model patient and has made it
his religious duty to get well, and so far
as human skill can see at present, he
has succeeded.
Our country has always suffered from
the lack of sufficient number OF just
such men as George S. Legare.
He will be coming home some time
during this summer. May God bless
him. his family and the good people Of
Charleston.
