Eleasl ,it the following let ter Tuesday afternoon in reply to the' resolutions: Mr. J. J. Evans, Bennettsville, S. C. Dear Sir: Your wire of November 6 received. I presume you are aware of the fact that when the general assembly raised their salaries, and in order to do so attempted to evade the constitution, that "hey provided that for each ses sion of the general assembly the mem bers shall receive $200 each. I fought this very vigorously, being a member of the general assembly at the time, because I believed t;tat it was a violation of the constitution to I raise the salaries, and furthermore be - cause under the act members would receive the same pay for an extra ses sion, even though it only lasted one or ;more days, that they receive for the regular sessions. I thought then I was right, I still think I was right, and ) your telegram convinces me beyond %doubt that I was right, because were I to tall an extra session of the gen teral assembly now, under this act, eac member would be entitled to $200, 1even though tehy only remained in lsession but for a very short period. -At the same time, you will remember, the legislature took a recess and went Shome and then came back for a few rdays to elect a United States senator to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Lati mer. Many of the members' of the legislature took pay for this extra few jdays' session. As senator, I took the position that it was not right, and that ino man had a right to take pay for the extra few days. I refused to ac cept my check and returned it to the -State treasurer. I was endeavoring then, as senator, to keep down what I fconsidered useless and what might be some day very expensive legislation, 'and I am now still of the same opin ion as I was then. Furthermore, were I now to call an extra session of the legislature, who would - be benefied? The farmers who are wealthy and who have been able to hold their cotton, while the poor man who is compelled to sell woldu receive no benefit,from the extra session, but would be com pelled to pay his share of the taxes which the extra session would cost, and which would possibly be $100,000 or more. In addition to this there are a large number of taxpayers who have no cotton to hold. They would be compelled to pay their part of the' taxes for this extra session, and would receive no benefit 'whatever therefrom. The constitution provides when the regular session shall be held, and no xtra session that I might' call could do away with this regular session, for it is compelled to convene; therefore, if it met only for a few days at the regular 'time, under the act, which I mentioned in the first part of this let ter, they would be entitled to $200 and their mileage. Therefore, to call an extra session of the general assembly would -entail a- very heavy expense upon all of the taxpayers of this State when only those who have held cotton would 'be benefited thereby. The State officers have not their re ports ready, and some of them could not possibly get them ready before the convening of the regular session of 'the general assembly; therefore, Ithe extra session could not act intel ligently upon matters which would be brought up in the regular session, based upon these reports, and for this reason, in my opinion, an -extra ses sion of the legislature can not be well held. at this time. Now, as to the cotton proposition: I am with you heart and soul; will do anything and everything within my power to help the farmers to get a better price, and in my opinion, If the I ttez milI mersiers had been 32imped Im ?IO 58tronl&l a .wo~e ni tflA erai Imost serviceable lamp you can find Its strong white light has made Zayo gives just the fight that is most effec o YOU. just the lamp, too, for bedroom eded.
