Columbia, Oct. 23.?There are six proposed constitutional amendments to i u vot<>ci on in the general election. Two of the amendments to in- pre sented to the people are of si a I <?-wide interest, the one proposing to Increase the supreme court to five members and tho other with reference to municipal bonded Indebtedness, a general amend ment There are two other amend ments proposed on this later subject. One of the special amendments has special reference to the cities of Spar tanburg, Greenville ami Columbia and .the town of Manning, it being proposed to allow these places to assess abut ting property for permanent Improve ments. It is proposed to add to the end of section 7 of article 8 of the state con stitution as follows: "Provided, Thai the limitations proposed by section S of article 10 of the constitution shall not apply to bonded Indebtedness in curred in the towns of Alken, Camden, Clinton. Bdgoflold, St. Matthews when the proceeds of said bonds are applied sob |y and exclusively for the building, erecting, establishing and maintaining of waterworks, electric! light plants, sewerage system or street and where the question of incurring such indebt edness is submitted to the qualified ? ?lectors of said municipality as pro vided in the constitution upon the question of bonded indebtedness." A joint resolution was passed making the provision that the limitations of section 7 of article S be not applied when the proceeds are used for such permanent improvements as are named above, was also passed. This is the state-wide proposed amendment. As to Alken county there was a special resolution with reference to section 7. that the limitations shall not apply provided the amount iloes not exceed 15 per cent of the value of the taxable property therein for the pur pose of establishing improvements. For St. Matthews tie- same sort of amendment is |t.'?pom?i allowing thai town to build a $20,000 courthouse. Increase Supreme Court. The increase of the membership of the supreme court from four to live members is the object of a joint reso lution proposing to amend article ? of section 12. The members of the supreme court are: Chief Justice. Ira 1!. Jones. Lan caster. Associate justices. Eugene 15. (iary, Abbeville; C. A. Woods, Marion, and I). E. Hydrick, Spartanburg. It is argued that to incrense the number of justices that much more work can be accomplished and that there will never be a divided court which would necessitate the calling of an en bane session as was (he ease In the Clinchfleld decision. Another amendment is to be sub mitted to the people with regard to the term of the justices in othce That section of the constitution is proposed to be amended so that any three of the live justices would constitute a quorum and that the justices shall be elected for a term of ten Instead of <>inht years, each of them to go out of office every two years. A number of names have already been mentioned for places as the fifth justice. Next Sunday at First Baptist. On last Sunday morning, at the First Haptist church, the Rev.
