The Coming Legislature.
Some Matters That Will Demand
Consideration.
Special to News and Courier.

oral Assembly When IT meets here
in January will have no really
serious propositions to settle.
While there is great deal of leo,
lsIation left over from year to
year, the consensus of opinion is
that there is abundant legislation
on the statute books and that the
least done the better it will he for
the State at large.
The new General Assembly will
have larger proportion of new
lawmakers than has ever before
been in such body. The usual
quota Of reelected members is
absent, and no doubt the Young
and new members will think that
their greatness depends lpnn the
number of bills offered and new
and novel scenes proposed, stsrt>
ing with amendments to the con>
cealed weapon law and ending
with amendments to the Consti
tuition.
: Naturally the amendments rs
Gently voted upon will come up
and consume considerable time.
+ Some will want to 90 right ahead
with the necessary legislation, tax
ing for granted that the Courts
will pass over the error made in
the enrolled resolution and the
ba'lots, while 'thers will want to
let the question go before the peo
pie again. At all events this will
be one of the foremost questions
to como up.
There will he the usual leeisls>
tion proposed AS to new judicial
and Congressional districts.
Year after year bills are offered
proposing the +. organization of
THE JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
and that there he ten instead of
eight circuits.
The scheme adopted by the last
General Assembly of providing
for special terms of Courts, on
petition of majority of the Nom
bers of the Bar of any county,
seems to have worked very we'll,
and good deal of the congestion
in Spartanburg, Cherokee and
other counties has been relieved,
and if the lawyers would take adj
vantage of this statute and have
their work ready for the Court
when it assem- bles there would
not be so much complaint and
such perennial demand for sd
ditional Courts.
The census does not indicate
that South Carolina will get an
additional Congressman. Some
who have figured on the relative
increase say that there seems to be
no chance for an additional Con
gresham from this State. The
usual
PROPOSITIONS TO REDISTRICT
the State will he made, and the
usual fight against any change in
the districts, if the State Is not to
get another Congressman. The
fight against any change has here
tofore to n large extent come from
the Congressman in office or those
who have made the races in the
districts as they have been stand>
ing. The House, as will be re-
mem berod, passed the Patton re.
dlstricting bill, but the Senate
killed it. 1t makes very little
difference to the average citizen
how the districts are arranged,
but it really does seem nonsensi-
caI to have shoe string districts in
this day and time, and have part
of one township in one district
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1900-11-14

One VI tue arguments tnat VIII
he used against redistrictiug is
that there will he no use to attend
to the redistrlcting at this session
as there will be no general eIec-
tlon or primary and that the same
work can be done al the session
of 1902.
One question that will como up,
in fact 1t has been coming up for
several years, lis the
THE SALE OF THE STATE FARMS.
Some of the mem Ders of the
General Assembly think that be-
cause the State makes two or
three hundred bales of cotton and
sufficient wheat and corn with
which to feed the cunvicts the
State ought not to engage IN farm
ing ut all, and should sell, no mat
ter at what price, the valuable
farms that it owns. There has
been discussion of the question
during the recent campaign, and
abundant promises that the Ques-
ton would be brought up.
Thinking that 1t would be "a pupu-
lar cry the sale of the properties
has been demanded on the stump.
1t ought to be realized that only
the long term convicts are now
sent TO the psnitentiary from
practical y all of the counties, ex-
cspt Charleston. Tue counties
have their own chain gangs, OK
cept Charleston, and prisoners
sent to the Penltentiary and the
State farms are such as have long
terms and are not wanted on the
county chain gangs, and some way
OF working the convicts has to he
found, and the only question
seems to he whether the con victs
are to make their own livelihood
their -four, meat and clothing
or whether others are to do 90 for
them. The only other plan suy
gested is to lease the convicts ont
and that is even more seriously
objected to.
OF course
THE DISrENSARY LAW.
will come up this year, AS usual
for patching. There never has been
year whom suggestions have not
been made looking to improve the
system. Suggestion" will he made
this year, but whether any changes
will he made or not is doubtful.
The suggestions along the line of
purchasing the supplies and the
county boards of control will
come up, and no doubt demand
much of the attention Of the law
makers. There is plenty to do as
to the dispensary system, from
the purchasing to the division Of
the profits, many think, but
whether it will be done or not is
another thing.
The General Assembly will be
called upon to take notice Of.
THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION.
and whatever is within reason, and
no more will be asked, is most
likely to be done. Gov McSwesnev
will give his hearty support to
requests coming from the Exposi-
tion management.
1t is exceedingly fortunate that
there will not be any new county
schemes before the Legislature
this year. These new county
projects always cause more or less
i'll feeling, but no new county plan
has been heard of for some little
time.

driven cattle and repeat these inspir-
ing words. Tell them that your souls
and the souls of your children hunger
for somsthing that cannot be satisfied
with bread- that you want work, but
you want leisure; you want rest; you
want recreation; You want companion
ship; you want citizenship; you want
freedom; you want liberty; you want
equality. These cannot be contained
in full dinner pail"
In striking consonance with this
were the apt words Of Mr.. Bryan,
spoken from the same platform:
If there is laboring man here,
beg him not to be deluded by the Re-
publican arguments addressed to his
stomach. The laboring man is not all
appetite. He has his head and he has
heart, and a full dinner pail is not
all that he needs. Esau got a full din
ner pail, but he sold his birthright to
get it, and the world has derided him
ever SINCE"
