Senator Butler is in favor of redoc ng the area of the counties; and sug gests that if an extra session of the Legislature ?hould be called tore-dis trict the State, the matter of smaller counties might be considered at that session also. Ile says : In ?ny opinion very-many counties of thc State are too large. Ever' since 1370 I have favored a division o? the larger counties, and I now think that great good would result to all parties from a judicious subdi visiou of many ol them. My obser vation has been that the smaller counties are better governed, the roads schools bridges, and the poor are better looked after and taken care of and that the people are more ready to discharge their public du* ties. Besides that, it would multiply churches school-houses and centres. There is bur one objection to these subdivisions, the expense of erecting pubiic buildiugs, and 1 believe in all cases the people to be benefited by the change would readily undergo the additional expense. Mr. Wm. E Jackson, the veteran ' president of the Augusta factory, said : "Fairly managed, cotton facto ries in Augusta will pay belter and eurer dividends than any business I know of. We have a clear and in disputable a^ivantage ot one cent per pound over the New England milla. ?So matter how close they may work, .?j cannot wipe out t: i d ?p i? .-consequently, as long as New Eng* land can turn a wheel, we can pros per and pay dividends.
