New Senatorial District
and Judicial Gircuit
Movement on Foot Looking
to Their Creation---Irwin
County in the New
Apportionment,
There is a movement on foot
looking to the creation of a new
state senatorial district and anew
judicial circuit, in both of which
Wilcox county is ianterested.
"The proposed reapportion
ment is as follows:
Senatorial district—Willcox
Irwion, and Turner counties.
‘Judicial Circuit— Willcox,
Irwin, Coffee, Crisp, and Tif=
ton counties,
In regard to the first, we do
not now see the need of this new
senatorial district. Itis a new
proposition, and we haven’t stu
died the situation. However,
we see no material objection to it
but as yet we do not recognize its
need.
Of the new judicial circuit,
though, we believe that it would
be to the best interest of all con
cerned. It is an evident fact that
we need more judicial circuits.
Nearly all through the Oconee
circuit this year, or at the least,
in. quite a number of ins‘ances,
the necessityof calling adjourned
Lt,_e,r:_n:s of court is recogoized to
‘exist. This is evidence that
there is too much work for the
circuit—that dockets are over
crowded. :
Every term there are many
cases that cannot be reached by
the various courts. 'This entails
unnecessary cost on litigaats,
attoroeys, the couaties and all
concerned. From a prue busi
ness standpoiat, we do not think
we are in error in concluding
that we need a new circuit. We
trust the efforts now on foot in
his cause mavy not prove futile.—
Abbevile Chronicle.
Glad to Get Back to Irwin,
A. Scott one of the negroes
who went to Africa from this
county and sent to the Hender
<on Brothers (f Ocilla for trans
portation back home, was on our
streets Saturdayan object of cor=
siderable interestas he answered
the many questions propounded
to him. He told of hunger com
pelling them to live on monkeys
at times. White salt meat was
25 cents per pound and money
scarce. He explained that with
the hot sun pouring down twelve
months in the year it was im
possible to raise cotton because
it burnt up. Coffee cultivation
was the only paying crop and
that required capital and the
trees do not tear until five years
old. He saw only three horses
in all of his travels in Africa.
'His headquarters were at Mon
!rovia. He is sure that be is glad
!to be back in old Irwin among
friends.
