to be paid, and it can be done with
out trouble. To pay the interest on
the intire debt Of 100000 it
would require $1,38O,O0O year, and

The first one vas the short act pub
lished in the GAZETTE three weeks
ago, and which only cut off three or
fouf farms from Hawkins and at
tached them to Hancock. The sec.
ond and more important act of the
two was approved by the Governor
on the last day Of the session, aud
makes a very considerable change
ia tie line between the two counties.
The new line begins on the Grain
ger county line on the top Of Copper
Ridge, opposite Flat Gap and runs
with The top Of said Ridge to Cur
rim Andersons', then bends so as to
leave Anderson farm in Hawkins
and then runs again with the top Of
Copper Ridge 10 the present county
line. Il is provided in the law that
this act shall not take effect if it

SO provides that those who desire to
find out the fact as to whether it
does SO reduce Hawkins county. shall
pay all the expenses of q survey.
This brings up the question as to
what is constitutional county? The
constitution of 1870 says: New
counties may be established by the
Legislature, TO consist of not less
than two hundred aud seyenty-five
square miles, and which shall con
tain population Of seven hundred
qualified voters. No line of such
county shall approach the court
house of any old county from which
it may be taken. nearer that eleven
miles, nor shall said old county be
reduced TO less than five hundred
square miles," From this we I'M
derstand that a new county may
be formed to consist of two hundred
and seyenty-fve square miles Of
territory, but that no county can
lawfully be cut up, either in the
formation of new counties or in
changing county lines, SO as to re.
duee any old county below FIVE hun
dred square miles. In other words
five hundred square miles is a ''con-
stitutional county" From the North
Fork at Kingsport to the Granger
county line is about forty miles.
This is she length of Hawkins coun-
ty from east to west. From the top
Of Copper Ridge TO the top of Bays
mountain on the south (the Greene
county line) we should think would
average twenty miles-that is, Haw-
kius with the new line is about forty
miles long by twenty in width, and
f this is correct it leaves the old
county still constitutional county,
even after giving up Punkin Valley
o Hancock. Ii it is 40 by 121 it
would give the 500 square miles.
3ut it is proper for us to say that
ome of those who are competent to
adge and well acquainted with the
of the county think the
hange will reduce the county of (
hawkins below the constitutional
init. A survey, however, will set
e the question.
Some of those in the "cut off, are
opposed to the change ,
nd seem determined not to move p
yer to Hancock If there is law to 81 81
eep them where they are. Others
e careless about the matter and will
to no expense to test the consti- :
tionality of the change. This A
hitting down Of old Hawkins ought Y
cease. We gave up some good Il
liens and valuable territory to az
rm Hamblen; we furnished fully til
o-thirds Of the territory to make ai
lnc0ck, and a considerable number !
people are clamorlng for three or -
IT districts in the upper end for r
: purpose Of organizing a new Sdu
unity with the court honse at Fall Oh
