Q
Senatorial Districts
OF SOOTH CAROLINA
Through the efforts of the House of Representatives, (voted
for by Mr. Abercrombie) we passed a plan which would have
been accepted by the courts, but the senate refused to accept this
plan and as a result the conference committee came up with this
plan (shown above).
The grave matter of reapportionment is |till un
settled and Rep. Abercrombie pledges to fight to
keep Laurens County in a senatorial district to itself.
