The Selection of a Cotton Weigh

The Selection of a Cotton Weigh
or.
1t is right and proper that
every fam should have voice
IN naming the man who shall
weigh his cotton WREN he mar
kets it. 1t has boen found that
Lancaster county is without law
regulating the election or selection
OF cotton weigher. 1t vii
therefore be in order for the ne
Legislature to pass such a law for
this county. We suggest that
the law provide for m election to
be held each ear in every town
IN the county where cotton is
marketed for the selection of a
welgher; that only qualified vo-
terS-those holding registration
certificates and poll tax receipts
he allowed to vote in said election;
that every such voter who sells
cotton in said market the preced-
ing year shall be qualified to vote
in said election and that list of
those marketing cotton shall be
made from the books of the cot
ton weigher and furnished the
managers of election each year.
If any one can suggest fair
er way or improve on this sug-
gestion, which has been approved
by every farmer to whom we have
mentioned it, we will he glad to
hear from him.

The Commissioners without Au-

pointing cotton weighers for the
towns of Lancaster, Kershaw and
Heath Spring. They met for
this purpose on previous occa.
sion but their authority being
queetioned they deferred making
the appointment until they could
refer the matter to their attorney,
Hon L Y Williams. After read
ing Mr. Williams opinion the
board concluded it was without
authority to appoint and dismiss
ed the matter.
The following is Mr. Williams
opinion which is to the point and
conclusive:
To the Board of County Com
missioners of Lancaster County:
AT your request | have made
careful examination of the Acts
of 1896 and 1897, which provide
for the appointment of Cotton
Weighcrs by the boards of coun-
ty commissioners of several coun-
ties of this State.
The bill providing for sucn
appointments was passed by tho
General Assembly in 1896; it
was intended for, and is in effect.
a general bill. It's provisions ap-
ply to all the counties in the State
except those specially excepted
in section 5 of the Act. Section
5 OF the Act of 1896 is as fol-
lows: "'The provisions of this
Act shall not apply to the coun-
ties of Charleston, Laurens, Berk
eley, Chester, Spartan n burg,
Aiken, Horny, Edgefeld, George.
town, Richland, Saluda, Beaufort,
Lancaster, Abbeville, York,
Newberry, Kershaw, Lexington,
Oconee, nor to the town of Liber-
ty in Pickens countv, nor to An.
dersou township in Anderson
County"
ACTS OF 1896, PAGE 5S.
1t is clear from the above sec
tion that the provisions of the
Act of 1895 did not apply to the
County of Lancaster. During
the session of 1897 some member
of the house, desiring to have his
county also excepted from the
operation of the act, introduced n
bill to amend section 5 of the act
by adding his county to those al.
ready excepted: during the pro-
gress Of the bill through the
House and Senate other members
had their counties added to the
exceptions, and the bill was ii
nally passed amending the Act Of
1896 as follows, viz: "That sec
tion ; Of said Act be amended by
inserting the words GREENvILLE,
FAIRFIELD, and CHESTERFIELD,
between the word "Lcxington"
and the word "OcOnce." This
left the Act of 1896 just as it
was when originally passed, cx-
cept that the counties Of Green
vile, Fairfield, and Chesterfield
were added to those counties to
which the law did not apply.
ACTS OF 1897, PAGE 434.
1t Is true that the word .Lan
caster" does not appear in sec
tion 5 of the Act as printed in
the Acts of 1897, but It's omission
is clearly typogr Phical error,
as the journals of both the House
and the Senate show tnat no
amendment was offered to strike
the word Lancaster" out of the
bill; and they further show that
the bill passed its third reading
