STATE SENATE PASSES A VERY
RADICAL BILL.
It Relates TO the Expenses OF Form

counties TO pay the expenses o: s,.r.

in the senate Wednesday morning. A
motion to strike out the enactins
words was made when the bill was
| called and Senator Harvey. the au.
thor, defended his bill! with vigor
and earnestoess.
The Senator from Berkeley said
that II they had to pay the expenses.
so many ambitious new county advo-
Gates would not spring up. as is the
case now. He continues that With the
financial obligations Of attending TO
surveys and elections. attending an
effort TO secure new county the
advocates would think and hesitate
before rushing into the attempt.
Senator Montgomery favored the
bill. giving the case OF Marion and
the recent "run-in" with Dillon. The
senator from Marion said that his
county is now confronted with debt
OF $4,000. half OF which will have
to be made By the old county. and
the amour, represents the expenses
OF the formation OF Dillon county.
which hurt Marion and which It will
nevertheless have to assis: in pay
lag.
Senator Appelt told Of a movement
now on foot in Clarendon to form q
new county and said that Clarendon
is now facing a deficit caused by sur
veys for new counties, which would
possibly have not been made had the
advocates been called on to pay the
bills and at any rate the county
would not have sa1ered financially
had the present bill under discussion
prevailed at the time.
Taking the position that the bill
would do an injustice. Senator Bass
opposed It's passage, as did Senator
Bates. Senator Gra5don favored the
bill. "a microbe Turks in every new
county BOOM" he said. "and the new
county enthusiasts are not satisfied
with one survey. bu: insist on others
until their ambitions are finally real
led
Senator Black. said that nis county
OF Bamperg can not be affected eit..-
er way. as it contains only little
over the 800 square miles required
by the constitution. but that he re-
CARDS the bill as just one and in
that event would favor ii.
Senator Ha-rey again urged the
passage Of the measure. saying that
if the o.ner counties did not desire
its advantages. Berkeley at least was
anxious to enjoy the privileges pro
vided for in the bill.
By an overwhelming vote the mo-
ton to strike out the enact!ag WORDS
was lost and the bill passed. and or
dered sent to the house. The bill
reads:
