The Pageland Journal Published Wednesday Mornings C. M. Tucker, Proprietor Subscription Price - - $1.00 Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. April 28, 1915 LaCoste Evans, of Cheraw is the most enthusiastic good roads man in the world, we believe. 1 1 - ? til i ' ? i uc uonus win increase ine tax; 46 cents on the hundred dollars, but the money will be spent right here at home and we will have it ready to pay the tax, and will also have better roads. A large tax payer should ap j preciate his success enough to vote for bonds to build a road for humanity to pass over in ease, especially when he will be richly repaid in dollars and cents. ] The small tax payer should vote for bonds because he gets more than he pays for. Read the schedule of good roads speaking in this issue and get ready to attend at least one s oi me meetings. It you are for 1 bond issue you shonld go and . - . enjoy the hour. If you are j against the bonds go and ask for an opportunity to put your ideas before the audience. Under the bond issue plan we will have good roads and the 1 man who owns the property, < including the big farmers, banks, $ corporations, etc, will pay the j f bill. Otherwise legislation in all < probability will be passed before ( a gieat while increasing the commutation tax from two dol , lars to possibly live. Who then will pay? I Next Tuesday is the poor man , and small property owner's chance to make the big property r ' system of good roads throughout ^ the county. How will you , vote? . N j D. J.
