To Adjust Road Tax.
' * Boyden Nims, of Columbia,
J: , writes The State as follows about
a matter in which?!! are intereeted:
*'There are just two ways by
which people can be benefited
? ' by the building of good roads'
and no way by which they can
be injured if the cost is equitably
assessed and efficiently expend,
} . ed. Any person who has to
travel from place to place is
. helped by having a good road to
travel over. Every land o^rner
i* in Richland county will be bene.
; 5 flted to some degree by the
building of every mile of the
proposed paved roads in increased
land values created
thereby. This will vary from a
fraction of a cent per acre on
' > - * J:_. . ? . I
mihum mum jisutui. lrum liiu
paved roads to many dollars per
acre on lands immediately beside
them.y For that reason,
before any extensive road buildins
is undertaken some scheme
should be worked out whereby
the land owners of the county
will pay for the roads approxi.
' . mately in proportion to the int
crement in the value of their
huid following the building of
the roads. Any person living
but not owning land near one
of these good roads will have to
, pay for the privilege in the form
of higher rent or other exactions
of the owners without regard to
any vehicle or other tax they
may have paid for road building."
km Argument for Good Roads,
A steam locomotive and a
gasoline locomotive (commonly
..]v called automobile) are both dcV
serving of a Rood, smooth and
f. . . hard road to run upon, but tney
differ in that one will run on
) nothing else and the other will
move in the mud.
';y'.V people who won't build good
,.+ \ coeds foe gasoline locomotives
V would, we suppose, run the
steam locomotives over the ruts
- v i and atones and into the holes, if I
ihej could, ahd after they had
been worn out In two or three
ysara, send them to the junk
i heap. Then they would buy
others.
The chief objection, we think,
to the automobile is that it will
.'4*. sun after a fashion on a bad
' road. If paved roads had been

built thousands of miles of them
looff aero?and millions on mil,
lions of dollars would have been
\ . ; "isafed. The "machine" would
\.i? have lasted six, eight or ten
>v. years instead of three and the
v. consumption of gasoline would
k';whave been cut in half.?The

f took off hia vest in which he had
a fine watch, and, laying it on a
.fence in the back yard, a calf
chawed up a pocket of the garh*
manfc containing the watch. Last1

Efforts of York eowtfy officer*
to pat? atop to illicit moonshin&SSgrtsr
tilleries if taken to mean that
while operations of the rooonahinera
have noteoaeod entirely,
there has at least been a temporary
loll in the business. Not a
single seizure has been reported
in the county in the last two
weeks and officers have only
been able to run upon places
where liquor has been made.
According to officers, there has
been a lull in the moonshining
business in the King's Mountain
Battleground country for several
weeks until here of late when
word has come to them that
several notorious moonshiners
have made a run or two and are
making preparations to go into
business on a more or less extensive
scale.
The situation in Broad River
township is quieter than it has
been in some time, although the
! officers are pretty certain that
there are several plants doing
I business over there. However,
the fact is kept pretty quiet?
1 quieter than usual, and evidences
I of moonshine are not as visible
i in that section now as they were
; six weeks or two months ago.
; It is the belief that if any
quantity of liquor is now being
; manufnctured in Broad River, it
] is being taken out of the county
for sale?presumably to Union
and Cherokee counties.
Over in the eastern seotiun of
the county very little moonshining
is being carried on , say
the officers. In fact that section
never did bear a reputation for
the making of much joy-juice.
Officers have information that
j several little "coffee-pot" dis
uneries are being operated in the
vicinity of Rock Hill; but it is
almost impossible to catch the
operators, because the distilleries
are so small and Handy that they
can be moved upon a moment's
notice. These small affairs are
being operated almost exclusively
by negroes who make only a
small amount of corn liquor at a
time and who are using the
utmost precaution in their illegal
business, quite in contrast to
some of the bolder distillers over
in the western side.
Discussing the situation an
officer said that the homes of a
number of people in various
sections of the county, most of
them negroes, have been raided
in the past couple of weeks and
in several instances quantities
of mash or "beer" had been
found. The raiding officers were
confident that the preparation
was being made ready for con-|
version into "squirrel, liquor."
The residents claimed that it

*as hog feed, however, and that
It had been mixed for that purpose
and therefore the officers
were powerless to interfere.
The home of a negro in Bullock'^
Creek-township was raided
recently. There a quantity of
corn mash was found. The
negro claimed it was hog feed
which he had prepared. Aaked
to explain the presence .of the
molasses therein, he explained
that the molasses had become
sour and that furthermore some
of it had flies in it. and he
calculated it would be just as
well to include it in the hog
feed. The officers, crestfallen,
had to let it go at that
The home of a negro woman
living near Rock Hill was recently
raided. A quantity of
mash just about "ripe" for
liquor making was found and
the officers wanted to know about
it.
"I'se jest gittin' ready to make 1
a little vinegar," she explained
to the officers. "My ole mammy,
she uster make vinegar out o'
corn mash an' 1 is fixin' ter
make some accordin' to ber prescripshun."
Enlarging Its Plant
In order to accommodate its out
put sufficiently to meet the demand
for Anderson cars, the
Anderson Motor company, of
Rock Hill, will erect within a
short time an additional plant
which will enable the company
to manufacture 20 cars a' day.
The present output is eight cars
a day. Announcement to this
effect was made by J. G. Anderson,
president of the company in
connection with the announce- ,
ment that the company had purchased
two acres of land in the
block immediately opposite the
present factory building.
The new building will be constructed
of steel and reinforced
concrete and will house the upholstering,
painting and finishing
departments. It is estimated
that the building will cost approximately
$200,000, and when
it is completed the Anderson Motor
company will have approximately
eight acres under roof
and will then be the largest industrial
plant in Rock Hill and
one of the largest in the State.
