Jan. iJO. 1900 BI-ENNIAL INSTEAD OF ANNUAL. A joint resolution to annul t lit' j Constitution so as to have biennial sessions of t In? Legislature * instead of annual sessions, passed tlie house this week l?y a vote of nearly four to one. the yeas hein<r S3, the nays U".'. If it pass, es the Senate the voters of the St;it<' will then s;iv by their bal-j lots whether they waul mpuu.iI, or bi-ennial sessions of the Legislature, mini I here pmii bo but \ Ii111?* doubt tluit they will vote for bi-ennial sessions. When the House wms discussing the bill one member st.uted that "nine tenths of his constituents favored bi-ennial sessions." From what we have been able to see and ascertain, there is a general demand for the measure. Our sister States on both sides of us, North Carolina and Georgia, have for years been operating under that plan. It is just as good and only about one half as expensive. ? I We notice that Repiesentative J. N. Estridce voted k*ves" on the Joint Resolution looking to the substitution of bi enniul for annual sessions of the Lesrislature. He believes in allowing the people to say by their ballot whether they want the proposer! chance or not. Representative T Y. Williams voted against ihe resolution. We nre glad there is a prospect of the broad tire hill hecomimr a law. It cei'tainlv should be passed and it will if the House has the cowl of its constituents at heart, as the Senate had. The , bill prohibits the sale of narrow tired wacons after Jan !. 1901 and prohibits their u<( ?>n the public roads after Jan. 1. l'.MH. The era of better roads is upon us. On every hand evidences of this fact are visible. The St Oe / So nolo it 11s. a'ooL' n-iswiol 1I.<? broad tin* hill which is a lorn: * step in the direction of better rotids.

Special to The State. Greenville, Jan. 17.?The re- ^ cent development in regard to ^ the New England cotton mills i seeking labor trom the south has been followed by information that there is a well defined pur- * i pose to procure labor from this section, whether or not the laws 1 of the State are vio'ated.

Evidently the recent importations of 22 weavers from Groen- ^ viile by agents of ttye Lonsda company is bearing fruit, and while the new comers did not go % to work at Lonsdale, but listened . to the counsel of the strikers, the ' mills in Rhode Island seem bent on procuring a supply of labor i from the south, in spite of the r* ' ict ihat they did not carry out , their agreement wi h the weayi ers trotn Greenville. who were * promised transportation back to ? their homes it they were not ' -atistied allot* reaching Lonsdale, i Sher'lf Gilrenth will not take anv action upon the telegram x? opt to give it publicity, and - ot course he will keep a lookodt . 'or i lie mill agents that may . come to Greenville; but it is j more than likely that they will make their visits to other towns nd cities, and it is certain that - thoy will come in disguise, as . the law forbids their acting i without a license, and the license a would give them awav in any / community.

Tlie Greenville .News speaks of a prospective rush of Finnish peasants to the United States during this year. The Russian . government having virtually abolished the independence of Finland, a large per cent, of the | 2,500,000 inhabitants have begun to look for liberty and oppor; tunity elsewhere. One steamship company has contracted to land 55,000 Finnis in I he United States during the next few months, and it is (juito probable that as many as 100.000 will come Iter*. before the year is out. The Finnis are Lutheran Protestants, ami are generally classed as thrifty, sober, industrious people. They are mostly tanners and stock raisers, 1 and have been quite prosperous under climatic and -.(>i, conditions that* are not to be compared to most parts* of this country, es , peciallv the Piedmont section. The situation seems to oiler an 1 opportunity that our own people should investigate. The cotton factories s:r? taking manv people from (Mir and, as the result, farming lands ;idepreciating in value. The remedy lies in immigration ot' the ri?rl?t kind ol peoj pie. These Fintiis seems to he the v.-ry people who are wanted. This country would he a paradise lor them, and thev would help to make it more valuable lor us. Why can the matter not ho invos fixated with a view to pet tiny some of these immigrants down our way ?
