Wednesday, December 9.1908. r'' Have you got that Christmas gobbler yet? * Columbia is having her annual baseball troubles. Poor old capitol! ?* "Puck Ponds" are growing quite as popular in Columbia as the little theatres. I , I Charleston is receiving the C-r-u-m-s - from Teddy's table and the rest of the > . \ State is sharing in her grief. N Oh, Prosperity! Prosperity! hear onr hnmble cry, while on others thou \ art "smiling" do not pass us by. . i-. It is reported that a great many hogs ire dieing in the Hollow creek sectibn of brain disease and sore throat. Every citizen in the old county should go to the polls on Tuesday and cast his ballot for the old county. It will mean low taxes and better accommodations. v Now let every citizen of Lexington connty join hands with Columbia and work for the free bridges over the I Congaree and Broad rivers. Colnm* bia means business. > , Congress, convened on last Monday. Champ Clark, of Missourri, was chosen minority leader of the Democrats to succeed the Hon. John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi. r' With snch leaden as Mendle Smith, J. C. Otts, John G. Richards and C. A. Smith the prohibitionists will make a winning fight for State-wide prohibition in the next legislature. I Several of our subscribers who have been behind with their dues have come forward and paid up, but there o mnmhor whn have not done so. r *** " ' and we trust that they will not force us to take their names off. The law is very plain. The postmaster in- { spected our mailing list on Monday j and all subscribers who have not paid j within the limits of the law must be j stricken from the list. If you fail to ! ' get your paper you will know the rea- , son why. ^exfe Tuesday there will be an e)ec- ! firm held on the new county of Ed- j j isto. There are five voting precincts j I in this county and it is presumed that i t * a large vote will be polled and we I t "Wish to impress upon our citizens in j It that section the importance or casting ; I their ballots against the new county, j I To vote otherwise would mean that : [ * those citizens prefer higher taxes," for | taxes will surely be higher in Edisto j I county than in either Orangeburg", I Aiken or Lexington. These old coun- j I . ties arc now in a very prosperous con?nrr!fi chance of tUXCS ' UltiUil, viuu being lowered from what they are at present. If the new county of Edisto is formed there will be no possible . Chance of taxes ever being low; they ' will be: high from the jump. A court house and jail will have to be built and this will cost money which the taxpayers will have to pay. A complete set of county officers will have " - J 1 *0YIWVP1N will I * to be eiecccu anu ^ ? have them to pay. And there will be I many other expenses incurred by the I establishment of this new county, all I of which will come out of the pockets I of the taxpayers. We believe the I voters of this county will give the I matter clue consideration and cast I * their ballots against this new county I on Tuesday next.

Sawyer, of j 1 "1 ' C * ttrt'Mnin/Y f A I j OcUIfcjy, S'JUilUS it liULf Ul Wdlllliig ?-vy I I the intelligent voters of Aiken, Or- \ j angeburg and Lexington counties: "To the Editor of The State: "I wish to say to the intelligent j voters, partly in Aiken, Orangeburg j and Lexington counties, that the for- j mation of Edisto county will not do. One reason is that the supposed new territory is too narrow and the lands too poor. The last tract of land sold near the town of Wagener brought $2 per acre. The tax on barren sandy j land would not count up very rapidly. "Intelligent voter, I am afraid we would not get enough tax money from I this narrow neck of land to pay for our office books. "We, the people of Salley, do not want to be cut off-in Edisto county. We don't intend to yote to please a few office seekers. On the other hand, we would rather be cut off with Richland or Barnwell county, be/? >nao tito Viovo o rlironf. lino tn rpanh Columbia or Barnwell. "As to convenience, Edisto county will not help U3 any, Wagener being off of the main line in Aiken county. "The constitution says you must have a million and a half dollars' worth of taxable property and must not go any nearer than eight miles of a court houtee. "We, the people of Salley, do not want to be cut off, but wish to remain . in Aiken. Geo. S. Sawyer. ' "Salley, Dec. 7, 1908." Our Brooklaad Visit. Saturday we spent with the treas- 1 urer at New Brookland. We always delight to visit this town, which is rapidly growing into a thriving little city. The people of Brookland are , progressive, honest and persevering. < They love their town and take a pride : in any undertaking which will advance its progress.
