THE 18TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
Mr. SFEAKER-Your committee to whom
was referred House Joint Resolution direct
ing inquiry into the advisability of dividing
| the Eighteenth Senatorial District, and ap-
portioning Lowndes county into separa te
| District, report as follows: That after care
fully reading the several petitions forwarded
by Lowndes county, signed by large proper.
| ton of good citizens representing, in part
the largest interests and intelligence of sa q
county, and after thorough discussion of the
subject before the committee, they are O.
opinion that in view of the fact that the nu
merical strength of the county legally entities
them TO separate senatorial represents
ton, and that where the right exists such ap
partonment should be made, unless the
county objects to the same. And, whereas
no objections have been interposed and tht
reasons are all"in favor of according t,
Lowndes separate representation her lega
right, said committee advise that the OBJ
ject of the petitions med deserve respectful
consideration. Your committee would stat
that they are uninhuenced by any persona
regard in considering the matter placed be
fore them, and that the late contest in tina
District in no wise shapes their opinion, an.
they believe that while the first mention o
! the subject of severance of the District ma,
+ have originated in the heat of political con
troversy and conficf, that the general move
/ ment in the county of Lowndes, seeking
separate District is not owing to personal diff
ferences growing out of the late contest il
said District. Your committee would fur
Their state that the petitions before them
not indicate any unfriendliness on the part O
, Lowndes county to the other counties in sam
Districts.
In view of the above facts, your committe
instruct me to submit the following resolution
, passed in committee a. part Of this report:
| Resolved, That it is the sense of this com
mittee that Lowndes county, having the ne
r cessary numerical basis, be made separat
Senatorial District, and the Representative
from Lowndes county introduce a bill to tina
effect if the said Representatives see prope
to do so.
