to the new county. 1t is hard to tell what tne 3
convention will do. The members seem 10
be very changeable in their notlons, on Our
own opinion is that they should make con con
stitution and come home as speedily as posSl-
BILE. The Legislature we think is the proper
body to make new counties. Our delegatlon'
ut least, was not elected for any sucn pur-
poses. Special Legislation is not popular 10
South Carolina and TO make one or Two new
counties, while dozen are Knocking at tne
door will not satisfy our people. Let eUeIs
and let them be established wherever they
will do the most good. ,.s
