REPRESENTATION IN TIE STATE Con:
vENrIoN.-Sumc time ago on. of the pa.
pers in the State, we think the Abbeyillc
Medium, advocated change in our present.
plan of representation in our State Convcn,
tlons The representation is based upon
that in the General Assembly: each Coun.
ty is, andcr the present rule, entitled to as
many delegates as it has members in both
branches Of the Legislature. The injustice
OF this rule is very apparent. The members
OF the General Assembly represent all the
people, Democrats and Republicans, white
and black; but the delegates to Democratic
State Convention represent only the Dem.
ocrats Of their respective Counties. The
injustice of the rule now in vogue may be
illustrated by comparing q County in tho

No ARRESTS As YEr.-Nonc of the perpctro.
tors OF the recent murders in our County have
oeen arrested as yet. Or IL they have, we have
not been able to ascertain the fact. We do not
think anything has been heard of young Gard

certain class OF officers Of the law in our County
are la''ing very far short Of their plain duty.
AS things go now, not only does crime remain
unpunished, but even arrests have ceased to be
made.-Edgefeld Adrcrtiser.
