we can command are so much in advance

SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1874.
K. E.? Generally it in customary
with commercial ir.cn in making out
invoiccB and account sales to add the
letters K. E. before signing them,
which we understand to mean errors
excepted, and we have no doubt but
it was the intention of ''Taxpayer" to
have ilonc ?o neiore signing his article ,
in rejily to "Citizen," but we presume
lie forgot it, us we know biin too well
to believe ior ;i moinent that he wouKl
designedly mislead any one.
Wo Khali not interfere with the
right of "Citizen" in his reply to tiie
article, if he, or any one else, sees fit
to do h<>. Ibit we deem it our duty (
to correct two statements made by
"Taxpayer" that are calculated to make
a false impression on the minds of
those who may not take the pains to
imfottn themselves better.
"Taxpayer" estimates that the tax
necessary to pay the annual interest
on the bonds will be 40 cents on the
hundred dollars, or $4.00 on the thousand.
" Taxpayer" and "Citizen" are both
wrong. At the present assessment of
propelty in the county, the tax would
he two mills and nine-tenths of one mill
on the dollar, or twenty-nine cents on
the hundred dollars; but, we presume
"Citizen" was basing his emulation on
the value ol property after the road
is completed, as no tax wculd he to
pay by the county until that time;
then it would be about fifteen cents,
on the hundred dollars, instead of 20
cents.
The other statement is that "as soon
as the work is commenced on the road
the bonds shall be turned over to the
.,..,1 <1, :
w? 11 i |? i 11 > j <vini i nr lv'ii?|?.ui v ill.iv 'jiiil
work next day; still \vc have the
bonds to pay."
Not ho; the law makes the very
strongest kind of a provision against
this very probability. The bonds are
not to bo delivered to the company,
even after the work is commenced,
tin til the company gives bond to the
county to pay the annual interest on
the bonds until the road is completed,
and until the road is completed neither
bonds or interest stands against
the county.
In n bad box.
Tho grand jury of Georgetown
county have presented their County
Commissioners for irregularity, malfeasance
and defalcation in ofliee.
The jury report their office a perfect,
t ousel. For the want of a Chiniese
interpreter to explain tlie hieroglyphics,
and an Astrologer to inlor/u
them the meaning of the signs the
horoscopes cast in the clerks books
portended, they could find nothing
j commendable, they however satisfied
themselves that there had been terrible
bush-whacking in the otlice.
What a queer country that Georgetown
is ?
We know they once had a Com
: mander who east nine votes in f
Philadelphia Presidential nominating
convention, and now here comes up :
i bush, a scraggy top bottle bo l to met
' cypress, the offspring of thrown awa\
j rice fields, holding three oflices anc
i doing justice to neither.
! How ardent these people are! Tin
clerk's office filled with porter.
Poor Hill Porter! The flat clerl
I on examination received it diploma
i which reads as follows: "The grant
jury therefore present Win. P. Porter
! Cleik ot the Court of Common Please
for negligence, inattention and utte
incompetency."
J However it is all republican, and n
doubt but the presentment alone wil
| be considered suflicienl purgatior
I Ilere they rest.

Reply to "Citizen."
Mil. Kkitou: ? There appeared i
your last issue an article headed 44
> voice from the people," and signe
I "Citizen," who says that he has nc
- | tieed the different classes of person
j who oppose and Uvor subscription t
1 j the Little River and Chi O'Jive Htiilr/mr
1 i lie states that he finds the oppositi**
i j to originate mainly with turpenlin
I distillers. 1 am not a distiller ot tui
| pen tine, but from the reading of yon
. article it appears that "Citizen" i
) trying to produce ill feeling betwee
the producers and the distil'ers of tu
nentine. He intimates that the disti
| lers of Horry are delrauding the pe<
1 pie out of tficir hard earnings. I ai
' a citizen of Horry and have notice
*
Il 'NEWS : JUNE 557,
the turpentine market* for ?ome years ;
past, ami my observation is that tur- i
pen'.ine sells higher in Conwayboro
and its vicinity than it does on any
railroad in the State. My experience
is that turpentine distillers sell their
goods as cheap as other merchants do,
and on hotter terms. I can't see how
we could get our goods any cheaper
Irom Little River. Certainly not by
the Little. River Railroad. The distillers
of I lorry, na a general rule, pay
? ? - 1 - ?l . I... ... v...., ,
unout t we)'l liirus 01 an I ;iu 111 A vn Kill t
IS paid in Horry; that is, they advance
the money to their customers,
and wait for ihein to make the lurpcntine
to pay it hack; and I am sorry
to say that in a great many instances
they never get it hack. I, for one,
have always found distillers my host
friends. Now our honorable "Citizen"
very well knows that distilling ol
turpentine is not always pioHluhlc,
and I think if he will reflect a lew
moments he will tiud that nearly, if not
all, the failures that have occurred in
this county since the war has heen
distillers ol turpentine. My observation
is that several turpentine distillers
have had their noses ground to
the hone, and that taxes turned the
stone to do it.
Now I tun willing you should have
a railroad to Little River, hut I want
those who want it to build it with
{ then* own money, f think that the
people of Horry have taxes enough to
pay idreadv. Don't make a man invest
in a railroad against his will, and
give a mortgage on what ho has to
secure it. Let those who want the
road build it, and if they want to give
a mortgage on what they have to secure
it they can do so. I think any
man has a light to invest his money
in any way he may think best. I
can't see the justice in making ji man
invest in tho road against his better
judgment. I think any man has "the
light to exercise his own judgment in
the matter. T, for one. think that if
the Little River and Chtraw Krilroad
was completed, and placed in the
hands e?t the company live of charge,
that it would not pay the expenses of
running it. Our honorable ''Citizen"
says that should we have to pay any
tax, it would he but 'JO cents on the
hundred dollars; but my calculations
are that it will take 40 cents on the
hundred ? .^1 on the thousand?to
keep the interest paid on the sixtylive
thousand dollars' worth of bonds.
The act authorizing t he issue ol bonds
for prelerred stork says that as soon
as the work is commenced on the road
the bonds shall he turned over to the
company, and the company may quit
work next day; still we have the
bonds to pay.
Now I suppose thai there will bo
first, second, and probably third,
mortgage bonds. The expense of running
the road must be paid lirst; then
the interest on lirst, second and third
mortgage bonds; last of all comes in
our prelerred stock, and I think it
will be a slim chance for its to realize
anything.
Our honorable "Citizen" says that
he shall vote for his interest. That is
what we expect, for we think it will
be more 'or his interest to have the
road built than it will be lor anybody
else. L shall vote for what I consider
my interest, which will he against thi
Little River and Cheraw Railroad.

[For the Horry News.]
To Iho Voters and Taxpayers of Horn
County.
Probably 110 question more directly
aflbeting the welfare and prosperity
of the inhabitants ol your county ha:
1 ever been presented lor your dccisioi
at the ballot-box than the one upoi
which you are asked to vote on tin
lllh oi July, viz: The question of is
suing bonds oft he county for preferred
stock in the Little River and Cherav
1 Kail road. To the most of you, th
f question will at once present itself tha
t to issue bonds, no matter for what pu?.
. pose, is to increase the taxes, the bin
den of which is already quite as muel
as you can hear; and this is the ligh
1 in which every opponent of this ontei
prise would have you consider tin
L, question. Put this would he entire]
1 1 itm-Tiileil viiuv ol t hi> matter. In
letter published in the IIukky Nkwi
< of April 7th, I demonstrated the tat
, that a subscription of sixty-five tlioi
\ sand dollars in county bonds to thi
Itailrond, instead of increasing th
' rate of taxation in the county, woul
? actually decrease it by increasing th
r taxable property of the county to
greater extent than would be require
() to raise the additional amount neeessi
ry to pay interest on the county bond
to say nothing of the income to tl
' county from the preferred stock
will hold in the road; and which slab
ment has never yet been controverte
by any opponent of the subsciiptioi
I now ask you, my fellow citizens, t
consider the question fairly and witl
11 out prejudice. No man will deny 01
a great need of some railroad laeiliiy I
d which to develop our resources and g<

of 1 lorry county on an equal footing
with the other counties of the State
in the race lor population wealth and
industrial development. Do you care
to secure those desirable results? All
you are asked to do to insure them is
to lend the credit ol the county to the
company, who in return pledges* you
an income from the interest on your
stock sufficient to pay interest on your
bonds. In all the history of railroad
building, no road, so far as 1 know,
has ever been built in this country
without county aid, and no county has
ever yet suffered by giving such aid,
but has always been benefitted l?y it.
We can't expect to he an exception.
If we desire the benefits of Railroad
cotnmunieaiion in our county we must
expect to show our willingness to put
our own shoulder to the wheel. It
the majority of the voters of this
county shall refuse to give the reqiied
subscription, then this enterprise will
fail, so far as this county is concerned,
and this road will only he built from
Chester to Marion; tor in these counties
there is no doubt the required
subscription will be given. I cannot
believe that the people of Horry will
deliberately refuse to avail themselves
of the opportunity thus atforded them
of securing this great benefit, or will
listen to the representations of those
men who are opposing this road because
they fear it will destroy the
monopoly of the turpentine and timber
trade they now enjoy. Look at
the figures showing the amount which
would he saved every year to the poor
people of this county by the operations
of this road when built:
On 000,000 bbls. turpentine,
say 25 cts. per bbl ?15,000.00
On 100,000 railroad ties for
export at a profit of 10 cents
each over and above the
cost of getting 10,000.00
A saving of at least 10 per
cent, in the cost ol #125,000
annually expended in
corn, bacon, Hour and dry
goods 12,500.00
$37,500.00
And we have a saving to the fanners
ami laborers of this county of about
ten times the amount of interest to be
paid on the bonds asked for, even if
the county should never realize one
cent on the stock site would hold in
the road. These figures are facts, not
fancy, and it :s such facts as these that
make the difference in the progress
and prosperity of communities which
have the benefits of railroads over
> these who are without lltent. I can
not believe that the people of Ilorry
will be so blinded to their own interests,
or so easily misled by the false
representations of demagogues who
f seek to rentier themselves popular
with the people by the cry of "down
vitlt the taxes," when these same dem'
agogues never # were known to do

v A Voice From the People,
e
t, Mh. Fditou:?In your issuo of the
- lOuli inst. you very pertinently asked
- "why do not the opponents of the
h railroad subscription present their obL
jections to the public through the col
- ninns of the press?" As they are t??c
s modest to avail themselves ot the
y privilege ottered, allow me to present
a tliein, so far as heard from, togethei
s, with such replies as those friendly tc
-.1 the enterprise so convincingly make tc
i- them.
is First, they say that if the bonds arc
ic voted, th?y will be issued to the rail
(1 road company and sold, and the roat
ie will never be built; but the count)
a will be burdened with a tax to pa)
d the interest.
a- To that we reply that the law au
s, thorizing the issue of these bonds com
ie pels the company to give security tha
it no interest shall ho paid by the conn
e- ly until the road is completed tln'ougl
d the county, so that unless the road ii
i). built there will he no tax.
o Again they sav that with the roac
i- built it will not earn enough to pa)
ir its interest, and the interest will the!
?v be double the present taxes,

)n ' would pay $2,000, leaving only $1,30
n- { to l>o made up by tho county, cvei
er supposing the railroad company doe
is not pay one cent of its interest, am
ly this ^1.300 is just one mill on tho del
r; lar, or one dollar on the thousand, a
it that the tax of the richest man in th
county would not exce ed *25 per year
on account of this road, and the poor
man wiili only $>00 worth of property
would only pay f>0 cents per year,
which would \>o repaid to hnn ten
times over by the saving to him in the
price of what he wow has to buy to
snoport himself and family.
They say that Opt. i>unn is only working
lor this road to make himself
rich by the rise in lus landed property
at Little Diver, W oil, suppose this
be t rue, is he the oidy property holder
at Little Diver or in the county? If
this road is to increase the value of
his property, will it not also increaso

They say there is not water enough on
Little Liver bar ft) allow steamers
from New York to come in anil go
out.
As this statement is only made by
those who have never been there to
examine for themselves, and is contradicted
l?y those who live there, and by
the fact that vessels drawing from *9
1 1 feet of water have been continually
t unning there for the past seven years,
as well as before the war, it may very
safely be considered a falsehood circulated
for ti put pose; similar to the
statement that insurance from Little
River to New Yoik cost double or
treble that from other parts, when the
I.let is that the highest rate ever paid
frotn there was J| per cent, and tho
writer of this has in hispossession let- ^
vers from four of tfiM^Pest Insurance ^
(Companies in New Ycrk at 1 percent,
on spirits turpentine, and $ of one per
cent on rosin and cotton.
I have here given the piominent
objections urged against this subscription
by its opponents in this county.
In addition to these are numerous
stories too ridiculous for contradiction.
Rut the real objection of these pcoplo
who are so afraid of taxing the county
is very carefully kept in the background;
nothing is said openly by
them of the danger of tho people in
tho central part of the county ha\irg
a belter market, a Horded them for the
sale of turpentine and timber, and tho
chance to buy provision at a much %
less cost than at. present. Oh, no ;
they are too patriotic to think of that.
They only want to prevent the poor
people of the county from levying a
liavy tax on themselves lor the benefit
of Capt. Dunn and his Northern
friends. In this they are very much
like the ostrich on the African Plains,
who imagine that when their head a
are thrust into the hushes their whole
bodies are concealed from sight.

Comfort lug.
The Georgetown Times get ofl' the
following brevites for the consolation
of the afflicted official victims of that
county:
"To find a paper in the Clerk's
office" is becoming a similar aphor!
ism as "to find a needle in a haystack."
"Docs yer see them two olc rotten
rails a-lyin' 'cross dat 'ere gully?
Well, dai's a bridgo at dat. It cost
de ke-ounty jist twenty-five dollars,
'sides de mileage and per diem."
?000 a year, or ?50 a month, 7 for
keop'ng neat hooks in imperfect order,
unbloted by ink, is a very neat little
salary. From 1808 to 1874?six
years?it amounts to ?3,600, which
with in to rot added at seven per cent.,
and not compounded, equals ?3,852.
Three 'Jhouamul, Kiyhi Hundred and
Hi/ty-(ico Dollars stolen from the taxpayers!
And this is but a small potai
toe compared to other grabs.
The present County Commissioners
are a sour-looking crowd. Everybody
who parses that mighty-walking
Commissioner who traveled two

mentally lays down a wager of two
