Those Proposed Bonds.
Elsewhere in this issue we pub
lish a call for a mass meeting of
the citizens of Fairfield county to
"consider the advisability of the
county issuing certain bonds for
improvement of the highways
with a view to giving employ
ment to the people for tile winter
months." We also publish an
interview with Mr. Elliott, pesi

dent of the Winnsboro Bank, by
whom the plan was suggested at
a meeting of the directors of said
bank yesterday morning. The
condition that suggests the ad
vi:iabilitv of such an issuance of
bonds at this time is one of the
most critical that ever confronted
the people of the county. With
out any effort to portray it in all
its details, it is enough to say
that the cotton crop is at least
short of that of any year since
the var, and that the corn crop
is the shortest in the history of
the county so far. as the recollec
tion of any living citize'n is con
cerned.
As short as these staple cropr
have been, they were made at
possibly the greatest cost of any
crop since the war. Then too
ili food supplies are higher
relatively than they have been in
a long while: The. si.tuation
briefy stated is'this: ths farmers
di the . county -have~ not spids
enouglrto -pay their-Abtsia
y~~e onewfif.oh
merchants havgot been able to
realize on the eollaterals held,
and will not be able to make all
the necessary advances another
year on similar collaterals.
The purpose for which it is
proposed to spend the proceeds
of the bonds, ihould they be
issued, is-the very best for which
public funds can be expended.
Time and again have we called
attention to the ,importance of
improving the public highways
of the county. We have also in
sisted all the while that this
should be effected by a property
tax. While our vieW has been to
have a tax year by year for this
purpose, yet made the circum
stances we approve most heartily
of the proposed plan, avhich pro
vides for a grand forward move
ment all at once.
Supposing that the proposed
plan were put into operation at
once, and $100,000 bonds were
issuedidt 4 pei- cent, the yearly
interest would be $4,000, which
would be about'one mill on the'
taxable property of the county.
By the levy of an additional mill
iot only could -2th~e interest he
paid, bg the whblgdebt could be
liquidated in twenty-five years.
What would be the results?
In the first place the present
olpesed hraiiI- condition
woldi teided over in a most
effective way by enabling those in
he great est need to supply the
.in,.s mxost needed and .which
eemingly cannot now be had.
[E the se.:ond~ place a permanent
ad last iug improvement would
,a elf. c:ed the't would mean a
saving to ti e people of the county
a e'y y r of several thousand
.l llars, f .r more thain that would
be paid-out yesrly in interest and
oa the principatl. So firmly are
we convinced'of the nedessity of
providing, better roads tbat we
believe that the present depres
sion would proveQ a 1 leSaing ~ ib
dignise should it result in the
county taking a decisive step for
ward in the improvement of its
public 4iighways.

a hasty .reaeption, and that all
