V. . - v ^apt. Shaw Makes Some Remarks Concerning the Bond Issue. Thinks Taxpayers Should >i Stand logeiuc. Sditor Press .and Banner:? In your issue of April 5th, speakng of the election for bond issue, 'ou said that the cavalry horn of >apt. W. C. Shaw was not heard on Saturday April 3rd. If the people of Abbeville County will cut this out ,nd keep it for reference they will ind out by the time they pay their axeg for the year 1921 who was ight and who was wrong. Just as ure as the sun sets behind the Vestern hills some of the people, if lot all, will wish that they had listenid to Capt. Shaw's cavalry horn. It will be remembered that I was gainst the law for compelling chilIren to go to school. I blew my avalry horn then and told them they ould never make the law a success mless the legislature made a laig? ppropriation every year for the ?urpose. What kind of a shape is the chool system in today? I will answer hat question myself. Two-thirds of ' -? * ? iur country scnooi mmsea aic um.iv or any child to study in. They can't :et books to study, and they haven't :ot money enough to pay a compeent teacher, and it is an undeniable act that a majority of the teachers ?ho Ate t&clHftsg the public schools n the country cannot hold down i lore thai!'tKe'third'fcrade, and have ! o certificate fnorn the County Board f Education, and a majority of he sch^ls in?.t>hjs district are being un contrary to the law of South Jarolina: . iV, t iThe common people are responsile for the bonds being voted on the epole. It is strange to me that all REDPATH other classes of people will stick together and protect their interests except the common people. To these people, who are laboring people of the land, the question of wages and I low taxes is the most important 'thing for him next to preparing to jmeet God. And these people should | stand together to keep from being | burdened with taxation. Every man in Abbeville County should get a registration certificate and be prepared to vote in every election iwhich comes off, and as a good jcitizen every man should go to the polls and vote.. The people who pay I taxes should present a solid front [whenever any fight* comes Up to levy more taxes. I had some exjperience along this line,, wheri I icharged a heavy line of yankees with ! bayonets and not a shell in ' the division. It is the same thing with voters.
