NO NEW DISTRICT FOR THIS STATE Project for South Carolina Slipping. Not Enough Business. Washington, Oct. 16.?The State's correspondent !iad Information today from a source which Is believed to U)o ontlrely reliable and trustworthy that there will be no new western district of South Carolina, as con templated in bills recently offered by Senator Tillmau and Representative Alken, and that in all probability the last lias been beard of this new dis trict matter for a long time to come. The reasons which are believed to I (have brought about the present sit nation arose from the fact that the; department of justice is said to have made careful and painstaking Inquiry from blub sources j,s to the feast foility of authorising this new western ' district and thai the Information given by those to whom appeal was made was to the effect that there was not business enough in the proposed western district, to Justify Its crea- * tlon at the hands of congross. Most of the fodoral business In South faro- ' Una, It is said, arises in what would | 1)0 the eastern district; there are no admiralty cases in what would be the western district, and the latter would foe left to try almost altogether viola tions of the internal revenue laws. This is said to have been one of the reasons which the department of justice found to militate against the plan of creating an eastern district. It will readily be seen that with nil of the most important business of the federal court to be handled in the eastern district, there would be little left for the western district to do, OXCOPt, as stated, to give atten tion to Internal revenue eases. An Other reason assigned is that should the new district he authorized, it "would result in the salaries of the district attorneys and the marshals l>< ing materially reduced. While the salaries of those oillclals tire fixed in the new bills now pend ing at SIXiOO a year each .,t Is said thai should the h?ls pass it would result in a cut and that neither the district, attorneys nor the marshals would receive the aunounts inout'on ed. In other words, two district at torneys Would not receive sa.auil ;i year, and two marshals woulo not re ceive a similar ainoutn. This is one of the reasons said to have been given to Attorney Gonornl M ? Reynolds why the St we should remain as it ia now, with but one distrl -t. This Information will doubtless be received by many persons in South | ?Carolina with a considerable degrc ? of Hiirprlse. Among the members of the legal fraternity who have watch ed the mattor closely it will dottotlei i 7iot lie acceptable news to learn that, unless present plans are changed, South Carolina will continue ivit'l but one district, as now constituted. Thoso two reasons are said to have been satisfactory to the department of justice, and The State's Informant Avas of the opinion that in all prob ability, as stated, there would 1"' no new district, at least at this tine. J/.ok of business in the new proposed western district and the disposition on Hi.- part of the government o!ll ninls hero not to cut the salaries of the men who will succeed Kniest P. Cochran and J. A. Adams as district attorney and marshal are the rea sons, in brief, for the present situa tion. Until today the prospects seem ed especially good for the creation Of tho l?0W district.
