CIRCULATION 2,300.
Annexation Bill Passes
Lower House.
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

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. Lexington
had a heavy debt'on account of
this territory that wanttd to move to
Rich and. .-The section, that wants to j
. come torRjchlahdis, feotb speak, the' I
right arm of Lexington. It was a:
twentieth century i lea" of trying' to r
grab the rich si \>uaa.r A mere hand- I
fol 6f phople, he insisted, had ho right j
to dissect a rich cofcnty,'' The House \
bad;no right to pnt Lexington on the
dissecting table. 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.

ie re Ad an affiutmc ana peiiUOu to
how that in the section involved the
raters wanteu to come over by a vote
af 152 to 10, and were still of that
opinion; in fact, this was the view
three weeks ago. 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.

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

the effectiveness of this great kidney
remedy,
Mrs. Myrtle Harling, Factory Hill,
Lexington, S. O., says: lean highly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, for I
have observed the good results that
have followed their use. 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. We do
not think there is a better kidney
medicine t > be had.

Laurens Advertiser. ? .
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.
