There was a long and at times cx-
eiting debate in the senate Tuesday
over the redistrict ing biil. The meas

passed its second reading in the senate.
with theHlnglc atnendnitntthat clar
endon is taken from tlie seventh dis
trict and placed in the first district.
It is thought that this amendment will
be agreed to hv the ho<tse and Unit the
hill will ho ratified in thUsiiape.
'Senator f*rul*er Tuesday offered an
amendment jyhich would have matt ri-
atl? chilhgedltwHrst. sts’ond and sev
enth (list liets. hut after a long delate
— a gerrymanding distrlot truly. It
is not absolutely necessary yiat all of/
a county should be placed in one con
gressional district, and if desired Col
leton county can be divided and (gie
part placed in one district apd part in
another. At the same time we can’t
arrange the districts solely in the in
terests of the people of- Colleton coun
ty. The only issue is shall this dis
trict lx; formed to* suit the individual
wishes of the men who are clamoring
for a chance. Senator Sheppard was
very unwell, and was not able to speak
at great length, hut he protested very
forcibly against the proposed amend
ment.
Senator Talbird said that all that
Beaufort county asks is to be placed
in a separate district from Charleston.
He had nothing against Charleston or t
from the house, and Senator Raysor
offered an amendment to change Clar
endon from-- the seventh to the first
district. This, he thought, would
make the two districts more nearly
equal, while It would.not materially
affectythe shape.of the districts.
Senator Barnwell said he did net op
pose this, but he feared that if the
senate made amendments and the bill
got into the hands of committees, the
ultimate passage of the bill might be
jeopardized. He suggested that the
bill be passed In the senate just as it
came from the house.
Senators Sharpe and Sheppard Ijoth
favored Senator Raysor’s amendment,
on the ground that it was necessary in
order to make the districts have some
equality on the ground of population.
On the question of adopt ing Sena-

The Senate Kills the Bill to

St nator (»faydoh also opposed the
hill, because he believed the plan Im
practicable. There is no doubt that

At one o'clock on Friday' Senator
Graydon’s bill to repeal thd eharter of
the VlrgTrfTOCarollna Chemical com

judiciary made two reports. The ma
jority reported a substitute bill to the
effect that if the company does not
comply with all the laws of tnc State
by May 1st, and also agree to abide
by the State courts, then Its permis

lie withdrawn.
Senator Manning moved to strike

Senator Mavfield then made some
bill and it will condemn itself. He
called attention to the fact that in
the amendment he proposed the first
district would have a population of
194,000: the second would have 184.-
000, and the seventh would have 197,-
000. This brings the population of
thethree districts very nearly to the
required general average—191,000-
much nearer than is secured by any
other arrangement yet proposed. This
bill, of course, has not lieen introduced
for the purpose of legislating any man
in or out of congress, but the district s
should be so arranged that every coun
ty should have a fair showing in the
election of a congressman. He dis
claimed any accusation, but the temp

congressman to distribute t heir favors

Senator Mayfield then spoke again
at some length in favor of the pro

Senator Manning oppose* the
amendment. It will not make any
mpre compact or more homogeneous
districts; it will put people who have
no interests in common into the same
district. '
Senator Sheppard again spoke in
opposition to the amendment, which
would put Edgefield and Clarendon in
the same district. It would take
longer to go from Edgefield to Claren
don than from Edgefield to New York.
He moved to lay Senator Gruber’s
amendment on -the table. The vote

was lost.

about as follows: At a party at the
residence of Mr. J. C. Griffin of Rob
bins on the evening of the 31*1 of De
cember last, while the dancing was In
progress, Mr. George Cobb uninten
tionally gave offence to Mr. Arthur
Dunliar. He left the room and in a
few moments returned with his father,
Mr. George Dunliar, and his brother,
Mr. Harry Dunbar, all of whom ap
proached Mr. Oobb In a threatnlng
manner. Mr. Alfred Sennett Inter
posed to prevent a difficulty, when Mr.
George Dunbar drew out his pistol.
Mr. F. P. Sennett also Interposed to
keep the peace, when he was shot. He
then shot George Dunbar dead and a
general shooting ensued, the result of
which was the killing of Harry Dun

Arthur Dunbar, who died a, few days
later of his wounds. After thc general
shooting was over George Kirkland ap

the floor; It Is for this that he Is now
under indictment for murder. The
testimony is said to be conflicting, it
being contended by him that Sennett
was attempting to shoot him at the
time, while on the other hand It is
testified to by several witnesses that

The President's Visit to Charleston.
The sympathy for the President in
this his hour of anxiety Is only equall
ed by the general disappointment
over his unavoidable abandonment of
his trip to the South and Charleston.
Great preparations had been made for
his reception and many had timed
their.visit to the Exposition so as to
see the Chief Executlveof the Nation.
But It is only a pleasure deferred.
The President will surely redeem his
promise at a later day and all Is for
the best. The thing now to do, Is to
hope and pray for the speedy restora
tion of the sick boy and the relief of
the father's anxiety, with which we
are all in sympathy. The Exposition
will continue for four months more,
and will be better, and prettier, if
possible, every day. The welcome
and the pleasure will not be lessened
by the delay.
Another Law Knocked Out.
Judge Gage Thursday at Anderson
knocked a hole in the county govern

the magistrate’s court in which two
negres were convicted for refusing to
work on the public roads as required
by law. E. G. McAdams, attorney
