NuLLIFlEs The CONSTITUTION.
Columbia, S G Nov. 10, 1912.

Columbia, S G, Nov. 10, 1912.
Mr.. Editor: hear that you publish
ed an article on consolidation, written
from Chaplin. have not saen it, bus
whatever it's nature may be, desire
that you publish the following sug-
gestions from me upon the subject:
I spoke at Chapin some days ago be-
fore the Farmers Union upon the con-
solidation of the two counties OF ex-
irgton and Richland iuto one under
the Act of the General Assembly pro-
vided in such cases. I heard no oppo-.
sition to the scheme on that occasion,
but on the other hand much IN favor
of nv speech. In fact, [ have heard
very little of any opposition to it from
anywhere.
I beg to say now that election being
over and the minds of the people are
at rest the movement will go forward.
The scheme, with politicians out Of
the way, will be passed upon by the
votes Of the people. have said be-
fore, and I re peat now, that consollda-
ton is the only solution Of Lexington
county. Her 6ismemberment is GER
tain from the court hous2. As it
stands now the balance Of the Dutch
Fork will come to Rich'and in annex
alton, New Brookland will come, also.
Batesburg and Leesyilie, with large
territory, will go to Saluda. Swansea
has already cut 210 square miles
of Lexington county cutting her
nearly half in two. WAGNER wants
100 square miles in new county. These
movements are now on foot, so that 1t
is clearly seen that old Lexington is
doomed. By consolidation we can
spare to Batesburg and Leesville such
territory as wish TO 90 to them in a new
county and county seat, and to Swan
sea ali that they may need in new
county and still meet the requirem ents
of the Constitution. These remote
sections are not so much desired by
Columbia in her enlargement and
western spreading as the territory
within say twenty miles Of the city,
30 that the people in those remote Sec
tions shall have their new counties and
the balance of the county will be
greatly advanced and developed by
the western growth of our, the great
CAPITAL CITY. Columbia wants the Sec
tion within twenty miles of her gates
for heslty suburban homes for set
tiers which will be opened up BY good
roads in wagons and automobiles and
trolley lines. A main street will go
to Lexington Court House and that
townwill soon become:a big city.
The vote in the election will be upon
the question Of ''consolidstion" and
the '7name OF the new county" and
the "location Of the county aeat."
I appeal to the people to considei
the matter and put themselves in line
of action with this grand scheme of
progress and advancement and pros.
perity. = Respectfully,
n. W. Brooker.
