SENATE CONSIDERS
NEW COUNTY BILL
Lengthy Debate Over Meas
ure Providing For
People’s Vote.
. Considerable time was consumed on
Thursday In the senate by a discussion
of the. bill by Senator Whaley, of the
Third district, providing for an amend
ment tp that part of the constitution
governing the creation of new counties.
The bill provides that an election
may be called by the governor when
one-third of the voters In the territory
proposed for a county shall so petition.
The count? site may be selected by a
majority vote and the new county by
a two-thirds vote. After such proced
ure, the general assembly shall estab
lish such county at Its next session.
The bill also provides that no coun
tv shall be left with less than an area
of 30 square miles or with assessed
property less than one-half million dol
lars, or lediiced to a population of less
than 10,000.
It is-also provided that no new coun
ty shall be formed to contain less than
7,iOO bona fide Inhabitants, nor to have
less taxable property than one million
dollars nor contain less than 260 square
miles.
Senator Felder offered an amend
ment making the area in both new and
remaining counties 200 square miles.
No little opposition developed and
several speeches were made against it.
Senator Felder championed the bill
and pointed out how much better It was
to • have a law speoiflcally governing
the creutlon of new counties. He also
showed that the matter must be passed
upon by the people for ratification.
Another amendment by Senator
Hawes which put the question of the
new county up to the voters of the
countv affected Instead of to the vot
ers in the area proposed for the new
county.
Senate.* Wilkes also spoke In favor of
the measure and gave many reasons
why a systematic method of creating
new counties should be adopted.
Two other amendments were offered
providing for the assumption of a pro
rata part of old debts by the new coun
ties.
The eeri&te adjourned at 12:20 with
out having taken any action.

piles of snowy muslins, dainty patterned Swisses and blos
som-sprigged diaphanous stuffs.

more attractive assortment of Negligees than this.
Certainly never an assortment of better values. They
are surprisingly cheap m price—and no matter how stal-
wartly you may cling to the standard of making your
things yourself, these will appeal irresistibly to your sense
of values and ypu 11 lay in a supply. ^

summer, and youll he grateful to us for
bringing them to your attention.

The “Butterfly
This is a modification of the “Merry
Widow”—some think it even a" prettier
style. Groups of tucks in the front give the
semblance of a fit. The sleeves are distinctly
“butterfly.” Same materials as the “Merry
Widow.

The wash ribbon ties are all silk of dainty
quality.
