The bill providing for the transfer and annexation of a portion of the Dutch Fork section of Lexington Cfonnty to Richland County passed the Boose on Friday night. The following report of the proceedings is taken from the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier written by Col. August Kohn: 'When the matter was called Mr. Wjogard wanted the bill returned to ttie committee. The House refused to.kill the motion to commit by a vote of 51 to 81. . "Mr. Youmans said every detail of _tfce law had been complied with and ; ? this section wanted to come to Ricn-? land and it ought to be granted. Mr. XODIDSOS 8XUU UR> mciuvua *uVuv .. opposing the bill weie not open ana }; abpve board. He did not like the w> r i the Representatives from Lexington1} wehe making their fight. These peopl^have complied with every detail j of Jhe law and he did not think it was j' a dratter of-ordinary discretion for the ] HdtrsS to refuse tor pass, the annexation ; bill'when every detail a as been legal- * fy complied with. % "Mr. Yoomans said the two proposi- I taons on which the bilJ was delayed \ last-year have utterly fallento tne ground. < The people in the . territory ? want to come to Richland County and have said sot and there is no reason "?1?

Isaac Edwards, of Lexington,, said Mr. Youmabs had opened a wide ga? and lie had to go in./ He said Mr. sYotuhariS had neither' thefacts, nor law. TiiiB he argued was a serious matter to Lexington. He and his people wanted to make an appeal to theHouse not to further cripple Lexing ton* > The connty is one of the original counties of the State. It has already been hurt by dismemberment ;i and ?he begged tb J House not to per- ! mifc-this1 invasion. It is an invasion ot I the^few to the barb of tb<- many.

He insisted that it the 'election.were' held today there would be no epcb decision to leave \ . Lexington. "Mr. Rembert said Mr. Edwards's position waj pathetic. This action is taken every year by various sections. It is the law. These people want to overwhelmingly come to -Bichland. immmmBmrnmammmmmmmttrnmammmmmiw ? *\ .' " v. r i ?

The finances must be adjusted under the present; Act. Mr. Rembert explained what Richland County provided for roads in the section to be annexed. To kill this bill would be to adopt an expost facto law. "Mr. Youmans apologized for any criticism he had made, as he was under misapprehension in his comment. 1? T*T1???^ on "JHP? J iJrOOKB YVUij^nru wauo ?u eloquent and forceful argument against the passage of this bill. He hid maps and statistics against the dismemberment of Lexington and argued that his county had done its full share, for in the section that wants to leave Lexington the county bad just gone in debt |20,000 to provide free bridges for these folks. He argued that it was neither fair, just or expedient to pass this bill and further injure Lexington. He hdd that the bill was against public polity-. "Mr. Carey, of Oconee, lived in the {Dutch Fork* for two years and during that residence he never visited Lexington and the interests of that section are more with Colnmbia and more so now. The whole question is, 'Have these people the right legally to come to Richland and then have they complied with the law.' This is the heart of the whole matter. He thought these people have a right to join Richland and he was equally sure these people have complied with every detail of the law. "Mr. Gasque opposed the bill. The Legislature under the Constitution; should be the sole judge of the whole matter..r It is- morally, wrong for . the rich and strong to leave the weak. He; held that there were certain voters in thb section and these folks have no. precinct at ?hich 10 vote. It was air leged that cettain voters were denied the right to vote. There are 307 registered voters in the territory and only; about 160 vd ers participated in the election. This he held was not the necessary two-thirds vote He predicted that many would feel the result of this policy of letting, one section leave a ooonty and go to another. "Mr. Osborne, of Spartanburg, favored allowing the- transfer.- T'ie present laws, he said, held out to people desiring to make a change in county line a promise that the lines would be so changed, if . the proper conditions were complied with, whic1* he thought'had been done in this ea*e, and he believed the promise should be fulfilled. \ [ "Mr Rembert called for the previous question. This was agre,ed to by the Housdand the roll call showed 51 for and 44 against passage. The bill was declared passed its .third reading and enrolled -for ratification as an Act." ... , V Columbia Record, 6tb. That the biU providing for the annexation of portions of Lexington C unty to Richland county, which.was passed both the senate and house may be invalidated on account of some of its provisions is the speculation on - ? 1 ' -fc movnKora tue - part m Bevertu ui imugo UJCAUW4.W of the general assembly who opposed tho bill in its passage last week " \ ? ~4t " f 7^ * * ' >' ; 1 ham's M s. - .

A member of my family had kidney and bladder trouble and his back ached intensely. He used Doan's Kidney Pills and they gave him immediate relief.

Do not listen to the argument that the other fellows are not going to curtail. Let the other fellows increase their acreage if they would be treacherous to themselves and their neighbors, but if by their treachery they cause the price to fall they suffer most. If inspite of their treachery, cotton goes higher, iou make a profii that you would not have made had you not, with the others true to the cause, curtailed. And then, if you do not make the profit on cotton that the other fellow does, you make it on othj er products. If the farmers would come to realize this, no organization would be necessary.
