BlackVille Citizens Meet.

Blackville, Jan. 16.-An enthusi-
astic meeting of the business men Of
the town and farmers from the sur
rounding territory was held in the
school building here last night and a
Chamber of Commerce al organ
lied with about 100 charter mem
bers.
It was decided at the meeting to
put forth an effort to annex a part
of Orangeburg and Bambers counties
to Barnwell county and make Black
vile the county seat instead of Barn.
we'll as at present. The meeting was
well attended by Blackville business
men and several neighboring towns
were represented.
The visitors from Springfield
spoke favorable of the movement, one
Of the speakers declaring he would
only be. willing to come into Barn
well county providing Blackville was
made the county seat. The Spring
field people are in the extreme corner
of Orangeburg county and going by
railroad to their county seat have to
make two railroad connections.
twenty-five thousand dollars was
raised in a few minutes to bear the
expenses of the campaign and it was
decided to augment this to $4,000
if so much be necessary, the Chamber
of Commerce guaranteeing that it
will not cost the county one cent of
expense.
Blackville already has a court
house, as this was once the county
seat, and it will compare f~avorably
with some of the newer court houses.
Blackville has a modern school
building, several splendid churches
a thoroughly modern hotel and num-
bers of business places and the pros
poets for making this the county seat
are encouraging.
Attorney General Thomas Peoples
and James Hammond, Of Columbia,
two former Blackville boys, were
present at the. meeting. Mr.. Peo-
pies joined the Chamber of Com
merce and contributed literally to
the fund for remodeling the court
house and building a jail.
Since the lower part of Barnwell
county has been cut off, forming Al
lendale county, the county seat as it
now stands will be in n corner OF
the county only eight miles from the
county line and is 16 miles from the
Edisto river, the other edge of the
county. By annexing the Springfield
territory to the county, that would
put Blackville in about the center OF
the county and add some very de-
sirable territory and valuable farming
land to the county.
Canvassing committees were ap-
pointed and work will be begun at
once upon the project. 1t is proposed
to make a trip to Williston and to
Springfield with so or more business
men in the near future in the inter-
est of the proposition.

Jim Davis on the Job.

Columbia, Jan. 20.-An interest

bill by James E. Davis, Of Barnwell,
to prevent the location of a court
house in any county within three
miles of a county line.

Lee Gilbert, Elgin Six distributor,
said this must be a fine country for

thought that If every owner Of a ear
was interested in the proposed good
roads, that the measure should easily
carry, especially If everyear owner in
the county lined up for good roads. To
follow out the ideas of Mr.. Gilbert, 1t
was arranged to organize the automo-
bile dealers In the city that each might
work in the campaign FOR hard surface
