the best part OF Wednesday discussing
the rcdistricting bill The debate
took wide latitude and some of the
representatives hecame almost per-
Sonal in their statements.
Mr.. McGOwan opened the debate i'm
favor of the bill. He said we live un-
der dual government. South Caro-
lima is entitled to seven congressman.
The population is 1900. coo. and the
unit of representation is i9l 900.
Each district should approximate
that number in population. The sew
eral districts should he nearly equal.
He showed the objections to the exist
ing scheme of districts. There are i'm
the fourth district nearly 2l5, 900 peo-
pie, while in another district the popu-
latiOn is but 100. 900.
He then proceeded to show the mer-
its of his bill. The fourth district
which he proposes falls about 5000
short in population. but will in very
few years have the requisite amount.
1t is the greatest manufacturing sec
tion of the State. There is Il homo
geneity of peoples lie explained the
formation of other proposed districts

districts compact. as required by the
