should be a waring to all local boards

of no efi'eet. The insimetion of foods

In May las'. lit the unveIling of the
mlonlument at tThickamaulga erected by~
PMutlh Crolna in commemioration of
her heroes wvho there fought and1( felt.,
I considlered it a. matter of p)ride and
patriotism to have the volunteer'
troops to do honoir to the occasion, and
I therefore directed the Adjutant Geon
eral to form a provisinal regiment
fr-om aiznong those In the servIce. Nine
comipanies complIosed the formation
anid Col. W'illeo Jones was aplpointed the
colonel in command. The cost of trans
llortatin wvas $1,876.25, wvhich the m.Ill
tary board decidled to pay out of the
ainnual apprioplriatin made to advane
tho effieiency of the State mIlitia, The
Adjutant General In his repl)0t asks
that the said amnount be add/1i to the
niext applropritation, andii I recommend
that this 110 done. In all sitch pitblic
Si.ate or national deomonstr'athins the
various States of the Ulnion cheerfully

o' lel'sins, and he refused to hono
fle Comptroller General's warvlit fo
$150,000.00. Under this coliditioni ofCV
affairs mandamus procemdings were in
stlttuted to settle the question. It was
argued before tho Su)ronee Court and'
(ecided by the Court that the amount
apropriated was only $100,000.00. The,
distiributiol of the fund was therefore
based on the ap)pro)rIaLtIon of $100,

d1ir?pl:V(d by the Confederate -soldioc

('ises on the 2ith l of l'at May. The
omnuament is one of the mlost beautlfuj
and appre'priate en the field. It. is made
of Fouth Carolina granite. and on thme
one side i,s a bronze7. life-size Confede
irate infant rymnan, and on the otheb
a Confelcuate artilleryman. T1he top
of tile mlonumenCit is a graceful bronze

Chiickamauga South Carolina erects

1'DISTRICTING.
At your Iast session you had before
you for considleration several blils for;
redistricting the State. None was pnse
ed and the whole subject will come up
for eonsidcatlon at thIs session. Th'eVe
11'0 longer exists ally T'eason for -t.he
shoe-string districts whIeh wve have ir
this State andh it is a duty you owe the
people to recdistr'ict tihe State into coh~
gressional dlistr'icts that will be co;n
pact and contiguous in terruitory. Tis
should be done without regard to f.he
political fortunes or interests of any
indhividual and solely wit.h a vieW Qf
seirvinig the interests of tihe people E~
tihe several disticts. At the last~,
aloni of the Congress of the Un d -
States an Act was passed In which theo
following section occurs:
"Section 3. That in each State
titled unfder this apportionment tf
nuimber' to wvhich such State maybq
entItled in thle Fifty-eIghth and oa
suibseqluent Congress shall be electj
b)y dIstricts c-ompoeed of eontiguo
and complact ter'ritory and containi~$
s nearly as practicable an equal nl1im~
her' of inhabitants."
You wvill note that Act of Congrt
provides thlat thir districts "shall"h
comp)osed of te"l'itory "compactan
contguos."This may not lbe mand
tory, but as there is no l'eason at Dre
cnt for the congressional dIstrict ri.
maining as they are It seems to be t1i
part of wisdom and good judgment t
t his session ' to 'pass an Act masi
thenm "contiguous" and more"
