Stevenson For what does he stand notoriously? For what does he stand nororiously? First, for economy. Do you know that congress in the last two years has spent $352,000,000.00 on creeks and rivers and harbors? This has not helped the people of the Fifth District one penny. South Carolina's share of that money according to population would be $48,000,000.00. If they had put that on our post roads instead of ~ in creeks and harbors and rivers every ^ man in South Carolina would have a ( good road at hand. During that term | our whole State government has cost <j only $20,000, 000.00. We ould have | ( about two and a half times as much for our roads as it takes to run the whole State government, and Instead of its being used to benefit our roads it has been dumped into creeks and rivers and harbors, and almost none of it has been seen in South Carolina. They have just passed a bill through the house carrying $80,000,000.00 and the senate will add to it Stevenson says, cut down "that steal," as Ben Tillman calls it and build roads to the farmers' doors. What does the farmer say about this? Give Stevenson a chance, and jj he will do his best, not only to "put 5 the Fifth district on the map," but to (j put the farmers of the fifth district j | on Che map also. Big Springs Hotel Open.
