Strother, a native of old Edgefield, but now a leading citizen and business man of Walhalla, has been down to Florida and on his re turn sent the following interesting letter to The - Keowee, Walhalla, Courier:, I havo read your comments in The Courier on what appeared in the Columbia Record, copied from the Johnston Herald. As I do not want to be misunderstood, will relate -the circumstances. There appeared in the Johnston Herald this question from a friend, "Why such a boom in Florida when our lands are better?" Having recently visited Florida, I wrote him a postal card saying that "the wicked jtaxes from which that state was free was the chief cause," making mention of the income and inheritance taxes. Personally I do not object to the income tax, but the inheritance tax is a death tax, taken from the widows and orphans after the man has pfrid all taxes up-to his death. Florida had the foresight to play the magic trump when she passed the constitutional amendment making that State free from both income and inheritance taxes. Since Mr. Flagler built his East Coast Railroad and his Ponce de Leon hotels it has en couraged the rich to go there as a winter resort, but this was, nothing to the elemination of the taxes on the rich. It made land values rise like magic, and the rich 'have bought up a big part of the state as homes ? at least for the winter ? and have car ried their millions, that are taxed everywhere except in Florida, with them. It looks like the New York 6f the . South. Every state in the Union seews to have helped the Florida boom. Georgia has lost heavily in both good men and capital, and at this late day has repealed these taxes at the sitting ?f ker legislature. (Better late than never). The state senate- of South Carolina repealed the inheritance tax last winter, but it failed to reach the house in time for passage. Thirty seven million dollars is the jump in the Florida federal taxes from 1923. What is the surmise or truth of this stupendous gain? Our laws should be closely watched and at least kept on a scale with those of neighbor states. Tennessee, I understand, drew a $10,000,000 mill from our state that was prospecting around Walhalla for a site, because the working hours were longer there, and taxes on incorporations were less. I was born in South Carolina, have lived and worked my entire life here, and my little is all here. Served as a private in the Confederate war, where we all drank the cup of bitter ness to the dregs. We truly learned i the les>son of sympathy by fearful experience. I served in the Red Shirt campaign during the trying days of the reconstruction, and since then have ever been ready to do my duty, and this is why I am trying to answer your comments. Remember money is both shy and timid, and shies even from bad signs. Have even heard of its digging holes in the ground for safety. Yours truly, W. A. Sthother.
