ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 4, 1891. -Th,
question Of redistricting the state TO
Congressional honors is agitating til,
the minds of large number of represent
atiyes.
Zach representative has his constitu
cuts to satisfy in this matter, and thei
claims are as numerous as the sands OF
the seashore.

arrangement, and Columbus seeks a

These are the main districts, in fact
they are the only ones that manifest
amy dissatisfaction and while none
lnss think this will effect them in the
least it is nevertheless a fact that the
second district is greatly affected.
Runswick'S clamor has resulted in an
eif9rt to cut off part of the second dis
trict, and put it with Brunswick. SO that
she can secure representative nearer
home than Savannah. This whole mat
ter has been referred to special com
mlttee from the House and Senate. and
while tins committee has done nothing
yet, number OF suggestions have been
made to the different parties who are
interested in the change contemplated.
Mr.. Bush, of Miller, is on the special
committee on the part of the House
representing the second district. and
your correspondent has been unable to
ascertain anything definite from him on
this subject because nothing definite
has been done.
However, there is plan on foot to
put into the new district for Brunswick
three counties in the southern part of
the second district, and add to the pres
emit second two counties from the west.
This plan is to give to the new district
the counties of Berrlen, Lowndes ana
Brooks, and adding to the district in
stead the counties of Colquitt and Stew
art
There is one objection offered to this
arrangement and that is very serious
one. That arises over INSTRUMENTATION OF
Berrien county. This county. it is !
claimed, will give on a test vote one
thousand Democratic majority or more |
and any change that is made in the dis |

Those who insist on Berrien remainin.
in the present second district SUCCESS |
that Z h"mas county be given to the new

this contention cannot be foretolG jus
now
But there is one thing that is very
certain, and your correspondent learns
this from very good authority. This is |
that Brooks county is sure to go with |
the new district formed for Brunswick. |
/ have been informed that Mr.. Turner, |
the present representative from the |
second district, will not offer for re-elec
ton and if Brunswick succeeds in get
ting Brooks county in her district, they |
will surely send Mr.. Turner back at the
next election. This is almost assured, |
because Brunswick, in her endeayor to |
secure harbor facilities, is anxious to get |
a representative in Congress familiar
with the work, and they look to Mr. |
Turner with more hope of success in
this direction that any other person that
would offer. 1t is almost a settled fact
that Mr.. Turner viii be put in the new
district on account of the anxiety that
Brunswick displays in the matter, but
DIS for other changes and how the second
district will be left in this arrangement
it is hard to tell, in fact nothing can be
predicted.
