To the Camden and Kershaw County
Chamber of Commerce:
Ypur committee has endeavored to
gather such Information In regard to
the revenues, expenditures and oblf
gations of the County as would 1>e
awful in deciding the question /of
paving the Columbia Road.
In ihe time at our disposal we
coiiM not go into the details of Coun
ty affairs and- did not feel justified
without express authority in probing
.or investigating the operations " of
'those officials charged with the ex
penditure of County funds. We mere
ly applleu to them for a suinmavizcd
statement along certain lines. We
also examined the budget of appro
priations for this County, contained
in the Statues f/rr the ipast two or
three years, and we inquired as to the
itfmd debt and taxable values of the
Canity and its various subdivisions,
such as school districts, town , ;au<l
townships, A closer study of the sub
ject,. however, may reveal some fea
ture that we have overlooked, limit
ing the bond issuing capacity of the
County. We belifeve that we obtained
sufficient reliable data rto warrant us
in reporting that in our opinion the
County can raise One Hundred Sev
ern y Five Thousand ($175,000) dol
lars towards the road paving project,
not only without detriment or dtea<k]
vantage to the other roads and inter
vSats of the County, but with co-opera
tion between our ^Legislative detetfa
<ioiu the County Commissioners and
tho? Camden and K<ysliaw County
Chamber of Commerce, We are cotv
vltiecd these objects can be fulliy real
ized.
Our conclusions: lmve been based
trpon the continuance of the Tevenues
from the River toll bridge, at the
jrresent average amount. ? Ilenoe the
vital Importance of the adequate in
surance of the bridge against; fire,
water and wind. '
We regard the issuance and sale of
County obligations (whether notes or
bondsi the only (practicable means of
raising the money fortvthe proposed
ptiving. The lnterol* arid retirement
of any such obligations could in our
judgment be provided from the avail
able surplus proceeds of the toll
bridge, and such application could he
^ authorized by Statute. If a levy, sav
<'f two and one-half (2 1-2) mills, the
liridgo funds would be- thereby re
leased for meeting other expenses of
the County and enable an equivalent
mhiefioii in the tux levy, or prevent
an equivalent increase. The results
would be the same whichever plan is
adopted. A fax levy should be autli
oij/xm! |?y the Legislature, to l>e jm.
P"*? d only in event the bridge funds
did m>t suffice to meet interest and
r<,'iremont fund of the notes and
bonds,

that the roads are now in much hot

^ "Between Boston and New York the
roads are in excellent condition. Ftoin
New York to Philadelphia the route Is
generally " very goi*l except / l?et ween
Princeton and Trenton, By going: via
Penn's Neck this rough stretch can
he avoided. 1
It is ln'tter to go to Washington over
the Capital Highway^ through HIsing
?Sun and Oonwingo as this avoids the
toll bridge at Perryville and the roads
are particularly good. At . present
there Is a deto.ur sytsom between Fred
ericksburg and- Spottsylvanla, but the
construction wqrk ^vill be finished be
fore the Tour leaves Boston.
The stretch of road 'between Choraw
and Camden which last year was very
poor is now improved-* The building
of the bridge acro.<?s the St. -Mary's
River much improves the route l>etween
Savannah and Jacksonville and makes
H possible for the Tour to go that
way this year."

Demonstration Agents. This initial
effort to revi^> the fair was a splen
did success.
I< is our plan to repeat this effort

towards it and the assistance which
'you ivlkler individually.
I am taking this means of calling
upon you to -help make it a success by
bringing your farm products to ex
hibit on this occasion. You may not
think your produce the best., but
bring it anyway. See how good or
how poor It is by comparing it with
your neighbor's products and deter
mine to beat, him next year.
(Jet acquainted with your neighbor;
yon might Mke him. Meet him at the
fair on Wednesday and Thursday. No
