Your Valued Pat:
Hon. C. XI. Bird Addresses
Letter to County Ezeoutive
Committee.
To the Members of the County Executive
Committee of Lexington County:
This letter is addressed to you to in
dace you to think of and consult with
your neighbors, and to b&prepared to
act on the following proposition,
which, with your consent, will be presented
to you at your first meeting.
The proposition is that you place at
the foot of the county ticket for the
approaching primary, the following:
; "For twenty-fivj thousand dollars
[ for building two free bridges, one
( across Congaree River at Columbia,
I and the other across Broad Riyer
J above Columbia, to be raised on fiye
I notes of five thousand dollars each,
j payable in 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years at not
more than six per cent, interest. Columbia
township, or the city of Columbia,
to raise as much as fifty thousand
dollars for the same purpose.
Yes, No."
A levy of one mill on our present
assessment each year will raise enough
to pay one note and the interest on
all. The man who pays $4.00 taxes
now would pay with this additional
levy $4.33, and he who pays $6.00
would pay $6.50.
The situation is this: There is
much dissatisfaction in the vicinity of
the two bridges on the Lexington
side, on account principally, that they
must pay bridge toll to get to market.
The day of toll bridges ie past, and
Lexington county must either pay her
part to get these bridges made free,
or likely lose a considerable part of its
taxable property.
The sections now proposed to be
cut from Lexington into Richland
county near these bridges contains
more than ?1,000,000 of taxable property.
If this territory i3 cut off it will
require one mill more on our present
county levy to raise the amount now
raised for county purposes. The present
assessment is in round numbers
?5,300,000. The levy for county purposes,
including road fund, is five
mills, which will raise ?26,500. If
?1,000,000 is taken from this assessment,
leaving ?1,300,000, it will require
a levy of six mills to raise ?25,800.
The proposition amounts to this:
IS IT BETTER FOR THE COUNTY
TO PAY ONE MILL FOR FIVE
YEARS AND SATISFY OUR PEOPLE,
OR TO LET THEM GO AND
PAY ONE MILL MORE OF TAXES
INDEFINITELY?
It is very doubtful if our people
would be in better condition in Richland
than in Lexington.
The Richland taxes for county purposes
this year is only two and onohalf
mills. The estimated expenses
of that county for this year is $105,000.
Of this amount, the estimate is
the County Dispensary will pay $50,
000 to the coanfcy, or practically oneBy

| half. Tbe county received from the
County Dispensary for the year ending
April 1, 1910, $42,929 38. But the
County Dispensary depends on the
game of politics, if a prohibition
Governor is elected this year, the
County Dispensaries will be abolished.
In that nase it will reauire a lew of
at least five mills in Richland county
to raise its estimated county expenses
of$105,000. But taxation does not depend
alone on the levy. The assessment
i3 an important factor. The average
assessmint of farm lands in
Richland county is $4.86 per acre. In
Lexington county it is $2.74 per acre.
The taxes on an average acre of land
in Lexington county with a five (5)
mill levy is 13.7 cents, and on an average
in Richland county with a two
and one-half (2%) mill levy, is 12.1
cents. If the dispensary be abolished
in Richland county, then her county
levy must be raised to at least five (5)
mills. This would make the tax in
Richland, then, on an average Richland
acre, 24.2 cents as against 13.7
cents on an average acre in Lexington
with same levy.
It is estimated that the public
school fund of Richland county will
receive this year from the County
Dispensary at least $33,000. If the dispensary
be abolished and the amount
now raised for the public scnools is to
j be continued, it will require a levy of
! two (2) mills more, either in the
| whole county or by school districts,
i Tf in not oertnin that Columbia
township will make these oridges free
without assistance from Lexington.
Some of the business men of the city
say they will not vote for the bond3
unless Lexington does her part.
Is it not better for us to do our part
and secure the bridges free, than to do
nothing and have our people go to
Richland, and maybe not get ,free
bridges and not benefit themselves financially?
Very truly,
C. M. Efird.
Candidates Will be Here
ITezt Wednesday.
On next Wednesday, the Cth of July,
the candidates for State and national
offices will be in Lexington. The campaign
opened at Sumter on last Wed- i
nesday, and the \ a :y has since been
on the go.
A surprise was sprung at the last
minute by the entrance of Barnard B.
Evans for attorney general in opposition
to J. Fra9er Lyon, the incumbent.
The race between these gentlemen is
growing more fcpicy every day.
Everybody in the county who can
possibly do so should come out to hear
the candidates next Wednesday.
