why not have them and let tho indi-

worth talking about if all the property
in the State bore its proper share Of
the burden. The bill is introduced by
Mr.. Mccullough Of Grcenville.

10 90. l. Goes rot bring all Of thc law
suits 10 Nrwbrrry either, for it give.
one mag iatrHtc to each section Of the
county, and feel sure If "What Next"
will talk to some Of his ncighhors
he will find that they do not consider
the idea ridiculous. The fact is, We
have too many petty law suits anyway.
There is 10 be q magistrate in No I, ore
in Mol, one in No | land one in No 8 in
addition to the one a. Ncwbcrry. That
strikes me ns pretty good distribution
over the county, and will give all those
who have petty lawsuits an ample op-
portnnity to fight for Justice and at the
same time will give home rule to every
body. Besides this is no new idea.
Mr. Blcasc talked Of it before the Leg
islaturc met, and it was agreed to by
all the mcmhcrs Of the Ncwbcrry dele
cation as the proper thing to do. Dr.
Wychc favors it us heartily as the 9th.

no reduction in the salary ofany county

in his criticism OF our delegation AS
Il taxpayer and IL good citizen he should
commend this action.

The delegation has rot yet agreed on
any recommendation for the appoint

has been paid clerk.
| ~
bill has passed the House directing
that the fertilizer tax go into the treas.
ury instead Of going to Clemson Col
lego. This is proper bill. 1t is a
varying amount, and in fact think all
money should be paid into the State
treasury, and money necessary for
State institutions appropriated direct.
1t Is better. We know then Just what
we arc doing and just what these ins,i-
| tutiOns cost us.
