C. BURNS & COMPANY 3 BoVes S ar hAight great stock of Dry Goods Always Busy. There is a Reason. c Col. Moore D Cross Ar E~ditor of The Spartanburg; Herald: I noticed in your yeste(rday's edi tiont an claborare malp of the proposed electric railway fromil Spart:anturg :o Clinton, 12aurens, 1'nion and Wood ruftf, involvin.g some :i miles, wichl Inclines me to offer a few reflections. In the first plhe, I would say that this is a good big undertakig, and will reliuli a very large sum of non ey, which, if dependent 0upon private subscriptions, will necessarily fail. I hope, but in case it does, my proposi tion is for Spartanburg county to take the matter in hand and issue bonds to construct the main trunk line to the Enoree river, leaving the Clinton pro jectors to finish the line to Clinton. In the course of time, it, may be prob able that the other proposed lines may be constructed. It is well not to tin dertake too big a job all at once. I propose, then, a subscription by Spar tanburg county of $100,000 in bonds to construct this main trunk line from Spartanburg to Cross Anchor and Musgrovi mill on the Enoree river. The first question then to be con sidered is, will the county subscribe the bonds? I think so, for the small annual interest and the loyalty here tofore exhibited by the townships of Walnut Grove, Glenn Springs and Cross Anchor in voting bonds to he S, Asheville Air Line and C. & W. C r'ailroad, and in paying the taxes iscusses chr Railway therefor for 25 to 10 years with no railroads in their bordolrs; I say, when all this is considered, that there are enoligh generous hearted and pulblic spirited citizens, out of a sense of gratitude, and for the developinent of this' important section of the coun ty, to vote the holids. The annual in terest would he an insignificant sumt. The bonds would probably sell for - per cent, which on $100,000 would amount to $1,000. The assessed value of Spartanburg is '$20,725,000; say in round numbers, 20,000,000. Now one mill on the dollar would raise $20, 000, therefore to raise $4,000 the an nual interest would require a levy of only one-fifth of a mill. Why, for edu cational purposes, school districts levy immense sums in comparison; for in stance, in tilt school district In which I live, in addition to the state three mill tax, and additional tax of four mills was voted, and recently to build a schoolhouse four mills more. What, then, does one-fifth of a mill to Spar tanburg county amount to? Spartan burg county is practically out of debt, the total being $425,000, with a sink ing fund in hand of $58,310. I say assuredly we owe it to the loyal citizens of the three townships named, out of a sense of gratitude, to help them with the small sum sug gested, It is to the interest of the county to do so, for railroads are the great developers of a country and on ine wealth and assessed values for taxes increase, the ntumber of mnills on the dollar is to he le Ied, as I will proceed to show you in a ittle history of the development of the county by, railroad building . 'The first elforit was ;in the road to Ash. .1 ', -he 't .vato s5uscri pt ions failed the county voted a hond issue of $7:1,000 or $100,000 (I do not remembter now how unelh) whenit the assessed value of her pro perty was between three and four mil lion dollars. 1 do remember that some time after a subscription of $250,000 was made to the then air line railroad, now the Sotthern, that the annual levy to meet the interest was threo mills on the dollar. Again, when the C. & W. C. railroad was projected the sum of $75,000 was voted to that project.| Now let us see the results of the build ing of these roads. On the Asheville road we have Inman, Capobelic and Landrum, large and flourishing towns, besides several smaller railroad sta tions. On the Air Line railroad we had Gaffney, and now Cowpens, the Cliftons, Faitforest, Wellford, Dun can and Greer. On the C. & W. C. railroad we have Woodruff, with two cotton mills, and inoreo mills, besides several sinaller railroad stations. . This means to say that after setting off Gaffney and a large slice of the county to Cherokee county we have grown from the original three or four millions to $20,275,000, six or seven times as much. With these figures be fore tis, what shall we say then of the development of Walnut Grove, Glenn Springs and Crdss Anchor, if we should give them the bonds? What about. big cotton factories at Nesbit and ills and Musgrove .lills? If the developmient of tle taxable values of the county and the decreasing of our taxes is what we are after, the Cross Anchor and Clinton railroad should not be neglected. Now the question which will be asked is, i. w cnn you build a railroad with $100,000? I can answcr by telling you how the & W. C. railroad was built to (reen wood, 64; miles. A private subscrip tion of $3,0i0 surveyed the road aind public subscriptions by Spartanburg and Laurens counties of $75,000 each graded the road, and a mortgage upon the roadbed raised the iron and roll ing stock. I take it that an electric roadway may be built much cheaper. Clinton is only 40 miles from Spar tanburg. From Spartanburg to Mus grove Mill is less than 30 miles, less than half that to Greenwood. In conclusion, I will say to my en thusiastic friends of Cross Anchor, if they should fail In the accomplish ment of tha present projected scheme that we stand ready to help pass a bill before the legislature this fall sub mitting the bond issue question and lend our best aid in seeing that the same is successfully voted.
