ROAD IMPROVEMENT FOR NO. 6.
Under an act passed by the last
legislature an election is ordered ii
No. 6 township 011 inc question ol
issuing bonds for some permanent
road building in thai township. The
act is published in rull in this issue
of The Herald and New s sc
that those who vote may know jusl
what they are doing when they gc:
to cast their ballots on this question.
1 he election is to be held on the
fourth day of June. I hose who desire
to vote, and every one should
exercise this right, should remember
thai 111 this election onlv qualified
electors are permitted to vote
;md that a registration ticket must
be secured. It yon have no registration
ticket one can be had next
All >nday, I line 1.
Mr. I.. \\ . Floyd, who is one ol
the largest taxpayers in the township
bnt who lives in Xewberrv
writes a strong article asking those
in the township to vote the tax
upon him and he will gladlv pav it.
I his is his old home township and
he has a commendable pride in having
it take this forward movement.
I hi > lav sounds large but. it
should be remembered that it is
dillerent Innn other taxes and does
not pass away each year but will
be an investment which will paxdividends
lop many years after
those who now have the opportunity
to \..|e il will bave passed
away. 11 Ibis step should be taken,
a- we hope i( will, il will put this
township I a r in the lead ol progress
o| any township in this countv and
will be a step which no citizen ol
the township will ever regret and
those who are now opposed to it,
il there are any such, will soon
wonder why they opposed such a
wise movement.
Suppose we look at some facts
and figures and reason the thing
a little. I lie total taxable property
in this township is $410,000. Ten
persons own $10.4.085 of this. Of
these ten lour do not live in the
township but all of them are not
only willing but anxious to have
these bonds voted and the tax
levied and the roads built. Four of
the other six are known to be
heartily in favor or the movement
and we are inclined to think the
other two are also. The property
of these ten persons appears 011 the
tav books as eight tavpavcrs.
' ouutiug them as eight the average
amount assesed to each is Si ^.12},
or an annual lav of S81 SO for permanent
road building. There are
'?> other tavpavcrs who pav on an
assessed value of $ji;\<>85. or an
average assessed value of $31 and
an averagi lav lor (his purpose of
S22. in. There are 51S other lavp.
1 \ v 1 ? 111 the Iownsliip as shown
by tin lav books who pav on an
assessed value ol Si.ouo or le>s, or
a total value ol 887,030. The average
lav paid b\ these 517 tavpavcrs
lor this purpose would be S1.1S
I'-'ich ii >r the t nil >\ nu ' 11 and plea
sure and benefit and inoiiev-saving
and lime-saying which would be
the result ol the building of permanent
roads. i hit suppose we
g 1 oup all oi the taxpavers in the
townsiiip. the large ones and 1 he
small ones, and the average paid
'01 this forward and
civilizing movement would be onlv
S.j.Sj, Just think of it. Right tavpavcrs
would bear <<nc-fourth of
tile burden and are willing to do
it. I hen why or how can anv one
oppose it. At least three of'these
eight taxpayers do not live in this
township but they want to see the
tovvnship build the roads. Ii will cost
51K ol the tavpavcrs less than $7.00
each and an average of only Si. 18.
Nou would be more than repaid on
c\ctv trip you come to town, not
t? >pcak ol the advantages on account
of school and church.
In the event the county should
engage in road building as it will
do as soon as the benefits are seen
in Xo. (t tin's township would get
her share ol the county tax just
the same.
\\ e hope the movement will be
successful.
South t arolina's new senator,
I Ion. I-. Ii, (in,rv, was surely lucky
111 being able to get a $50,000 building
lor his home town, Abbeville,
before he had been in the lTnitcd
Stales senate over two months.?
I n ion Progress.
I \\ it'll a senator and a congress- ^
man, Abbeville ought to be able to d
get almost anything she wants. But
we understand that all or the South
. Carolina towns asking for public
buildings have got all they asked.
What better could we desire? You
= should congratulate Abbeville o-i
getting a public building. We do
most heartily.
Capl. Gonzales would have bcatL
en Senator Gary in a straight vote
' on the floor of the convention. The
political wire pullers knew this, so
^ they si K?k Gary to Senator Tillman
s coat tail with the "acclamation"
plaster and pulled him
\ through.?Daily Mail. jj-l-<
J Senator Ciary would have been **?
elected in any event, but it would
not have been unamimous except
willi (lie "acclamation" plaster. I'ut m
what matters it who goes to Den- I
ver? The convention iias tied their
hands with the IJrvan instruction
rest ilut ions.
COTTON TICK. Oil
I he veterinarian of Clenison college
writes us that lie will be glad |
to mail a copy of the ([itarterlv publication
of the college for ( )ctoher.
"/>/. which is Yohinie 3. \o. .j, yc
and contain^ an article on tick eradication
in South Carolina hv M. |tr<
Kay I 'owers, to each of our subscribers
it we would fti' iiish him a I |
mailing list. We have sent a mailiug
list and have written the veterinarian
that we would be glad to P 1
have him mail this article or
pamphlet to the subscribers of The Yc
I Ierald and News.
li will be recalled that at the last j np
session ol the legislature Mr. Aull, j
"I \i wherry, had an amendment "T" t
put on the appropriation bill carry- * ^
ing live thousand dollars of the ,
funds ol Clenison college for the tcl
put | m >se oi carrying nut an ai/ passed
in 1 <;(.)/, authorizing the j Ofg|
lies at C lemson col lege to cooperate
with the I'ederal government in llie q j,
eradication of the cattle tick. j
Assurance was given that it' the
legislature made a specific appro-!
priation to carry out the provisions
of the act of 1907 that whatever SLi
amount was appropriated would be
supplemented by ihe appropriation i 4-o
from the Kederal government. LCI
It means a great deal to the farmers
of South Carolina and until (
we had looked into it somewhat we
had no idea ot the importance of j K"* <
the matter. 11 1J
It is stated that South Carolina's pyii
loss from the cattle tick is about
$9(X).ooo each year. This does not
include the loss which we sustain S?
011 account of farmers not engaging
in cattle raising on account of ihe
the cattle tick.
We hope that each subscriber
ceiving this publication will read it 1 ^v"
carefully and he will then have j
some idea of the importance of this!
matter.
"\\ e get some sad cases." said 1 1-^4
j ihe attendant at the lunatic asylum I
j to the visitor, and opened the door r7|
of the first cell. j T 1
Inside was a man sitting oil a
stool gazing vacantly at the wall.
Sad story, said the attendant:
"he was in love with a girl, but she) ^ |
I married another man. and he lost
[his reason in mi grief." I
I hey stole out softly, closing the j Cl
j dooi behind them. and proceeded to
| the next inmate. This cell was "Fpj
thickly padded, and the man within
was stark, staring mad. j "Who
is this?" inquired the visi- y\
tor. Ipll
