Mccormick County Passes
Court Test.

eSCdDllSnfneNL OF MCSOTIllGk COill'
ty was declared yesterday by an en-
banc session of the supreme court
to have been legally held. There
are now 45 counties in South Caro-
lima, the new unit having been
recognized by an act of the legisla-
ture. The decision by the court
means that all constitutional re-
quirements have been met for the
creation of the new county. The
Ell banc session of the supreme court
was attended yesterday by large
number of advocates of the new
county. The new unit will be made
up from parts of Edgefeld, Able
vile and Greenwood counties.
The new comfy movement has
been carried after a fight extending
over period of 90 years. Citizens
of the new county are making ar
rangements for a celebration at
Mccormick county. Yesterday they
extended an invitation to Gov. Man
ming to attend the celebration. The
governor was forced to decline be-
cause of other engagements.
The election was held last year.
An appeal was taken to the State
board of canvassers and the election
was declared to have been legally
held. Then the case was carried
on to the supreme court. After
hearing the arguments and giving
the matter much consideration the
FIVE justices of the supreme court
failed 20 agree and the circuit
judges Of the State were called to
their assistance.
The majority opinion was writ
ten by Associate Justice Hydrick
and was concurred in by Associate
Justice Frasier and Circuit Judges,
Prince, Shipp, Sease, Rice, Bow
man, Smith and Peurifoy. The
dissenting opinion was written by
Chief Justice Gary and concurred in
by Judge DeVore. A separate dis
senting opinion was written by As
sociate Justice Watts and concur
red. in the Associate Justice Gage
and Circuit Judges Wilson and
Frank B. Gary. Another dissent
opinion was written by Judge En-
nest Moore.
The Mccormick county advo-
Gates were represented yesterday at
the hearing by r. Fl. Welch of the
Columbia bar. William N. Gray
don and J. 3. Park represented the
petitioners.
The case was that of 7. A. Rob
inson and others against r. NJ. Nc
Gown and other members of the
State board of canvassers.
In 1905 an election was held and
carried by majority of four to one
in favor of Mccormick county, but
the opponents won out in the courts
because the required area was lack
ing. At another election in 1914
the new county agitatorS won by a
vote of six to one, but for the Sec
ond time it was set aside by the
courts. The last in 1915 won out
by big majority.
Mccormick, the county seat of
the new county, is located on the
Charleston s. Western Carolina
railway, 43 miles above Augusta
and 25 miles from Abbeville, Green
wood and Edgefield. The State.

First Division w. NJ. u. Meets
at Bethany.

An invitation to Bethany church
to any kind Of gathering is enticing,
but when it is a meeting of the
w oman's Missionary Union along
any line of work, the invitation
would never be refused if there wa.
any possibility of accepting it.
Sunday was the day set apart by
the first division president, Mrs. B.
n. Talbert, as the time for the
meeting at Bethany, and letters
urging attendance had been sent
out by her several weeks in adj
vance, as a consequence Bethany
church was filled with men, women
and children interested in the cause.
Several of the churches were repre-
sented and made very good reports
of the work since the annual meet
ing at Clark's Hall, Mrs. Talbert,
presiding very graciously over the
session. Mrs. Y. M. Faulkner, of
Mountain Greek society conducted
the devotions and spoke of her early
and beloved associations with
Bethany, and that her sainted pa
lents were buried in the city of the
dead adjoining the church,
Mrs. J. L. Minis made an expia-
nation of the Standard Of Excel.
lence and the model member.
A very pleasant feature of the
programme was the singing by Mrs.
Talbert's Honor Roll Sunbeam
Band, singing the Sunbeam song
and others. Joe Major Lyon sang
solo, on request, having distin-
guished himself last fall at Clark 5
Hill.
Mr.. J. L. Minis made practical
talk on the subject of missions, and
collection was taken amounting to
more than $3.50 which will help
the Bethany society to meet their
apportionment.
Mr.. Leland Talbert delivered a
most cordial and courteous invita-
ton to partake of the bountiful din
ner spread under the trees by the
loving hands of the women, and
aided by the splendid men who are
always on hand to lend their aid.
Early after dinner the people as-
sembled in the church to re-organize
the Sunday school under the leader
ship of MIR. Bart Talbert who has
been the faithful superintendent for
number Of years. at three O'Clock
the pastor, Rev. Mr. Smith, arrived,
having filled an engagement at an
other church in the forenoon, and
preached on the subject of missions.
MIR. Smith is greatly beloved bHy
the people of Bethany and is doing
effective work among them.
4 most delightful visit was made
by the writer and Mr.. Minis at The
home of MIR. and Mrs. b. \. Tai
bert, having taken shelter under
their roof for the night, and al
though they were fully in
structed not to prepare supper, they
served very bountiful and appe-
tizing meal which was enjoyed in
spite of the fact that the travellers
declared themselves not hungry.
Another pleasant visit of half
hour was spent with Mr.. and Mrs.
G. G. Fuller on the return trip to
Edgefeld on Sunday afternoon, and
it was very gratifying to find Mrs.
Fuller SO improved in health, apd
so cheerful and patient under her
long siege of illness.
All the people in this section are
greatly enthused, and naturally so.

mick.
