NO LUMBER FOR BRIDGES.

mmm
Tired of Hearing Talk About Liquor
and Woman Suffrage?Want Leg- !islature
That Will Do Something.
^ Mr. Editor of The Herald and News:
Tftis article is not mtenaea as a
matter of criticism but as a matter J
of fact. !
I am living beyond my three score 1
years yet I have never witnessed a J
time when there was not a scrap of ]
lumber belonging to the county in <
. my community to be found to repair 1
K-, bridges. -
? V There are about six or eight little
L- tiridges within a mile of my home 1
| which I have always regarded to be
H my duty to keep in repair with the 1
assistance of my sons and neighbors !
regardless of remuneration. <
- For the past few months we have 1
faked up every scrap of plank ?
? around my place that is fit to use for (
*; bridge flooring. J
I dont think of getting anything :
/ better than pine and cedar poles to
I /v use as sills. 1
'
My neigghbor, E. L. Strauss, was 1
kind enough to give me a few old
? pl^nk he raked from under the saw 1
- dust to repair, a little bridge of '<
> aboutv ten feet space and-also enough i
fr, cedar poles to answer for sills but 1
Kavs mt th#?m too short and we
had to use pine poles after all. <
Last week one of my sons started
r to town with his wagon and team, he
t hadn't traveled but a short distance ,<
^' when crossing over a bridge one of j 1
w the mules fell through which dis- j 1
abled it to go any further, in fact it j 1
v was fortunate that the mule did not;(
SPyS I
t. break both hind legs in effort to get j <
; out. j<
:WV After my neighbor, Tom Epps, |<
. heqfrd of this he suggested that we '
club together and buy a few plank I <
from Mr. D. W. Buzhardt, who is j J
running a saw mill in this section, 11
before someone would have to enter j <
^ suit against the county for damage <
to stock. . 1
But after I picked up /my Herald
and News and found that Mr. T. P. J
>j" "Richardson had three contracts of <
bridge building as follows: The long ^
bridge over Little river at a cost of 1
$3,900. The Werts bridge over lit- <
tie river for $98&.00. The bridge at 1
Chappells over Saluda for $4,200. I <
' . .X 3 ?1
said to Tom Jspps let's josc wait ana j
get a few slabs from Mr. Buzhardt <
which I have already hauled which
4k-will answer for repair for a short 1
while and s rely some of those old 1
plank from above mention will'come 1
this way in. the .sweet. 3
I do trust to live to .see the time *
gpjvhen our law makers will inaugurate ! *
a road system that will give us roads j1
and bridges ?hat# we can travel both , 1
in safety and satisfaction. 11

yonder at the capitol to just .stand j1

A REDUCTION IN
THE STATE LEVY
Entails Saving $200,000?South Car*
olina Should Adopt 100 Per
Cent Basis.
News and Courier.
Columbia, Aug. 24.?Acting under
authority vested in him by the last
session of the general assembly in
the general appropriation Act, Rut.
L. Osborne, comptroller general, has
reduced the State levy from nine and
>ne-half mills, entailing a saving to
the taxpayers of approximately
$200,000.
In making the reduction the comptroller
general said:
"The appropriation act passed by
the last general assembly amounts to
$3,882,682.78. From this is deducted
$382,000, the amount estimated
that will be raised from sources oth
-4-1 1 A ^/M. rvtolrinrr +Vnc Ho.
tr tnaxi acs. mtci luaAmg v<?*w v.%.
duction it will be seen that the
amount to be raised by taxation is
$3,500,682.78.
i "In 1918 the total taxable property
of the State was assessed at $378,300,000,
this being an increase over
1917 of $59,000,000. However, 1918
was the year for assessing real estate
and the increase for 1919 over 1918,
it is estimated, will be about $15,300,000,
which will give the State
?393,000,000 worth of taxable property.
It is thus shown that nine mills
will raise the necessary amount.
"In fixing the levy it has been necessary
for me to estimate the amount
;o be raised from sources other than
&xes, and also the amount of taxable
property in the State. The South
Carolina tax commission has been
engaged in equalizing me assessment
>n merchandise. This work was
completed during the week and the
issessments forwarded to the various
;ounty auditors. The tax commission
also have been assessing automobiles
:his year, and these classes of property
'are now placed' on an equal basis
& assessment with corporations,
ranks and real estate.
"All property, real and personal,
s being assessed on a basis of 42 per
lent and our tax levy is nine mills.
Were these assessments made on a
aasis of 100 per cent, as in many
>ther States, the levy would be about
four mills. It is, in this manner that
>ther States have such small tax
evjes, their assessments being made
>n 100 per cent basis.
"It is my opinion that South Caroina
should adopt this 100 per cent
>asis and thereby reduce the levy to
ess than half what it is at present,
[t was at the request of the general
assembly that the tax commission
idopted the 42 per cent basis. A
ow rate of taxation is one of the bigjest
advertisements to outside capi*

jnt time there are n<? income, franchise
or inheritance laws in this
State. Such laws should be passed
jy the next general assembly. A
large revenue could be derived from
;hose sources which are contributing
lothing towards the expenses of the
State government."

GRAIN GRADING
DEMONSTRATION
Federal Supervisors to Conduct a
School at State Fair.
Clemson College, Aug. 23.?An r
| open school in grain grading will be ;
.'conducted for the benefit of farmers !
i
by federal grain supervisors, accord- j
ing to an announcement by F. L. 1
Harkey, field agent in marketing. In
order that farmers, country grain
dealers, millers, county agents, and
others interested may have an opportunity
to familiarize themselves with
correct methods of grading grain under
federal standards, FederaL Grain
Supervisor K. B. Seeds will conduct
grain grading demonstrations at tne
State fair this fall in connection with
the agricultural exhibits which the
United States-department of agriculture
will make. A fully equipped
grain inspection office will be arranged
with exactly the same equipment
as is used by licensed grain inspectors
in the large markets and in
the offices of the federal grain supervisor.
j In order to make a demonstration
! thoroughly practical, farmers will be
! invited to bring samples of wheat,
j shelled com, and oats in order thatj
j it may oe shown how grains are ae- j i
I terminedi. At this demonstration j I
grains will-be handled in the same i
way as any actual inspection.
The importance of this demonstration
is emphasized by the fact that;
the United States grain corporation j
is requiring that the federal grades I ^
be applied by county buyers, and by!

j SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
| Spartanburg, Aug. 25.?Announcements
of unusual interest to the
j Sunday school people of South Car
olina are made this i week from the
[headquarters of the South Carolina
I Sunday School association. The cen|
tral committee of this association re
jCently voted to release the general:
j secretary, R. D. Webb, for the month j
of September that he may go to the
state of New York to serve as one of
jthe educational directors in the
| campaign to raise a million dollars in
j New York state for an enlarged pro}
gram of Sunday school work. This
| action was taken at the request of
ithe International and the New York
State Sunday school association. Mr.
jWebb Is one of a few State secre- :
itaries that have been requested to
| assist in the New York campaign.!
I He will be absent from his work in
South Carolina from September 4 to
j October 8. j

! ods for Sunday school leaders will
; be held in Spartanburg the latter
part of January, 1920. Some of the
outstanding leaders in religious edu- i
cation will be secured as instructors
for the entire week of the school. It
will be held primarily for the Sun- j
day schoof workers of Spartanburg
county, ?ut it is expected that peo-;
pie will attend it from all sections of

i Plans are being mad? to have a
Sundav school exhibit at the State,

*
. October. This exhibit will be edu- ,
cational in its nature, consisting of
actual work that is being done in ! he!
Sunday schools of the State and of'
m'aterial that will be suggested in all I
1 phases of Sunday school work. A
jsimilar exhibit will be prepared for;
many of the county fairs in Novem-j
I ker- *
| Special efforts are being put forth:
i this year to unify the Sunday school j
j interests and build up all Sunday!
schools through the county associa- (
:tions. According to announcements!
from the State association, all coun-j
ty conventions will be held by De-!
cember 1. Early in 1920, the county)
associations will hold one day coun-j
ty institutes for specialization work j
;in every department of the Sunday
; school. At each institute three or
four specialists in Sunday school
work will be in attendance to assist
i the county leaders. In addition to
jthe county meetings, the district as ;
sociations, which are small divisions
i 1 l i."L _
of each county, win noia on uie
average two conventions each during
the year. Through this system of
conventions and institutes, consist;
ing of more than 500 in the State
, during the year, it is believed that
'practically all of the schools in the
j State will be reached and that the
\ Sunday school cause will be greatly
! advanced.
