Additional Representative Probable.
Fho population Of South Carolina
lin 1900 was 1.33O,316. Allowing one
REPRESENTATIVE to every 100000 peo-
ple. there were 316 to spare. It the
grawth Of population in the past
ten years shall amount to about
Res.OOO, therefore, the State will be
eaitied to an eighth representative
ta Congress, and there will be gen.
eera redistricting of the State by
th. Legislature. If the prediction
absve quoted shall prove to be sub
Lstaatially correct, Spartanburg coun-
ftv alone will furnish about one
sixth Of the additional population
necessary to give the State another
representative in Congress. The
loiher Al counties would very proba-
bly, make up the balance. 1t is very
probable, therefore, that after l9lo
sousa Carolina will not only have
Rrother representative in Congress-
but that the present division Of the
State into districts will be material
1y altered by the Legislature, some
{of the districts being made smaller
in area by reason Of the growth and
ae,sity of population. Spartanburg
aaI Greenville alone, for instance,
with nearly 100000 each, would
make a district big enough. 1t Is
more likely, however, that Spartan
burg and Greenville will be separa-
ted, each being placed with smaller
counties in separate districts. What
changes Will take place, however, no
one can foresee, as it will be entire
II in the hands Of the Legislature
elected next summer, if it is done
promptly. Some Of the present
members of Congress may be praetl-
caly legislated out Of their districts,
while others may have material
changes made in the territory they
represent.

A HIGH COMPLIMENT
Miss Minerva C.. Hall, Former Belding
Teacher, Gets Fine Mention.

Miss Minerva c. Hall, who few
years ago was a resident Of this city
and instructor in music in our
schools, is attaining success in her
work in Escanaba, where she is en-
gagged in the public schools
Recently the beautiful play, "Prin-
cess Chrysanthemum,' was put on at
the gymnasium, given by the stu
dents of the Escanaba high school
and the Escanaba Press speaks in
highest terms of its great success in
every way. 1t also takes occasion
to say these complimentary words of
Miss Hall Probably to no one per-
son is a greater part of the credit for
the success of the production due
than to Miss Minerva G. Hall, instruc-
tor in music in the public schools.
Miss Hall had complete supervision
of the training not only of the vocal
lists but of the orchestra which made
+such an excellent expression. But
Few people can realize the scope of
her work and that instructors salts
faction must be great for the tri-
umph that was achieved"
Miss Halls relatives and her hosts
of friends here will be pleased to
hear OF her good work and congrat-
ulate her on the success attained.
