A NATTER OF ECONOMY.

reaches that point "nere our nOOle
lawmakers axe willing to surrender
pay for public service, the bill
providing for biennial sessions of
the General Assembly will doubt
less prevail. This bill was left
over from the last session. The
Joint resolution to submit the mat
ter to the people of the State lack
ed out one vote of the two-thirds
majority. Friends of the measure.
and these are the people who have
the best interest of South Carolina
at heart, are deter mined to fight
for it again, and the chances are
more greatly in its favor than ever
before. We have heard so much
about the financial troubles of the
State that the Legislators can hardly
insist on meeting once every year
when the conditions DO not demand
it and when the meeting is a bur
den on the tax payers.
The new law would mean the
saving Of $4,000 Much of the
Legislative proceedings has been Of
the farcical sort. We have more
laws than it will ever be possible
to enforce. They are enacted one
year to be amended or abolished
the next. There are enough statu-
tes to last almost for a generation,
and it will help the State more to
have them obeyed than to add
others.
The sentiment of the people is
with the biennial movement. The
public recognizes the fact that it is
not necessary to have that pyrotech-
mic display in Columbia every Janu-
ary, and when it is remembered
that it will result in such a saving
of money, it will meet the hearty
approval of every citizen. No good
argument can be advanced for the
annual session. The argument is
ali on the other side, and before
they return to the Capital City tire
members should give some thought
to the subject so that they may vote
for the welfare Of the common
wealth and not for personal gain
Greenvllle News.
That sounds very well but will
there be saving of $4,000 year
or any other sum? If a Legislative
session cost $4,000 you cannot
make an annual saving of $50, 900
unless you do not have a legisla-
tive session at all. We do not
believe there is anything in the
plea of economy and it is not true
that the people who favor biennial
sessions "are the people who have
the best interests of South Carolina
at heart,' if it is meant that those
who oppose it do not have the in
terest Of the State in mind. We
grant that there are too many
changes in our laws and that those
on the statute books are not obeyed
as we'll as they might be, but would
biennial sessions help to have the
laws obeyed or enforced? There
is no doubt that there is strong
sentiment in favor Of biennial ses-
sions but it has been created on the
plea of economy and this is always
a strong card with the demagogue
or the politician when he wants to
catch votes. We have heard for
many years of economy and reform
and we have seen at the same time
our taxes increase and the State
debt grow larger.
1t is a good and safe business
rule to have an annual accounting
and this you would not have with
biennial sessions.
We know there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of biennial sessions
but we believe it comes from the
supposition that there will be a big

throughout the cotton belt for this
purpose"
The other sections were adopted as
follows:
"Section 3. That every cotton grow
ing State be urged to Join us in this
fight for remunerative price for cot
ton; that we beg them to organize at
once with the object of withholding
their cotton from the market until 10
cents per pound for middling cotton i
realized, and to reduce the acreage in
accordance with us.
Section 4. That we recommend the
following plan of organization: That
the delegates to this convention from
form club in each township and open
books of subscription, to take the
names Of all farmers wishing to j1in
for the purpose of bringing al out the
two objects above mentioned, and to
take the fees necessary for the main
tenance of our organization.
"That each township send up three
delegates to county convention, and
that each county convention have five
