Taxable property in’ Colleton County in 1903 14,4X8 675 19D5 3,660,820 Excess 1906 over 1905 —727,855 Hurrah for Hooray. Almost every mm you meet on the itreela seems to exert himself to see Mow gloomy he can talk* They en deavor to create the impression that the general condition of the country is wersc t '- and the outlook from a financial point sf view the darkest in many years. There are grounds for depression, but the country is not ruined by a long shot and It Is not ''busted" financially by any means. We have all experlencad and lived thiough werse times, and better times ate ahead of us. This Is too good 1 country to be ruined by one peor crop year aud there is no sense in wallowing hi a slough of despond. The Watchman and Southron. Our esteemed contemporary, The Sonitneiville News, does not take kindly to our suggestion to send over the Hey ward Riti°men to help secure honest flections in their triple precinct. It sbvs such "savors too much of 1876 to suit the viewr of onr people." The truth of the matter is, we were only in fan when we made such an offer Meoanae we believe, with onr contem porary thoroughly aroused, and with two years in which to educate the voters of the township, there will be no need for "bayonets” to secure "an honest election." Onr contemporary is mak ing an able and tear leas fight for honesty m county politics, and if it leceivea the •he anpport It deservea a new era in scanty affairs will be inaugurated. Our contemporary, however, is woe fully ignorant as to conditions in the ^Mother county," if the reference be low is to Ooi'eton county: Cl Bat in spite of all these drawbacks Ibtte is no disposition in Dorchester to setorn to the warm embrace of the mother counties, and while we write, a little bunch of prosperous farmers owia old Berkeley is preparing to seoele over to Dorchester, where we as yet Save no floating indebtedness or milroad bonds to meet, and where * Oouaty claims are not discounted on Ike market. We might add that in the County of Dorchester the County tax tor the present year is 5^ mills, while in old Colletont it is 7 mills So on the the who! we are pretty well satisfied. For the enlightenment of onr oowtentr formry we will say that the bonded la- fiehtedneee of Colleton oonatr was entirely liquidated in October 1908, and this oaa be substantiated by any of •he following who were present and interested in the aettlement: Messrs SUas Doer. O. M. Gavin, J. fl. Knight amL 1. M. WbeteeU for Dorchester feotinfy and Messrs D. L. Smith and J. B.

The county auditor informs ns that he has milled to the taxable property this year 8727,855, so so that in addition to knocking off the 1 mill levy for past indebtedness Colle ton can reduce her levy at least 1 mill more, which for 1907 will leave the levy for county purposes at only 4 mills! Can Dorchester coonty ray ns mnch? Is there not outstanding a bonded indeb tedness for that county of 20,000?
