MONK OPPOSITION TO BONDS
Rev. Walter Rlack, of Ruffin, a
popular young Baptist minister, liv
ing at Ruffln. sends, in an article
this week i n opposition to the pro
posed bond issue for roads for Col

v hi* h Colleton c uin;. we nt in*o
debt dmirg th** j- >.s‘. ( ’ » years, than
•nr any legisl^’ioq we. n s a legisla
tor, had to pass. This debt was
contracted, too. building a road by
one of Mr. Black’s churches, and we
can hardly believe that even though
it i* a debt and has to be paid for
during the next four years, tlie peo.
pie of that church would have
the old mud holes back .
On the contrary, Mr. Black, the
men who passed this law calling for
the election on the bond issue, have
given the matter more thought than
you think, and it was one of the
things on which our members have
spent a great deal of study, as much,
doubtless, as the Rev. Walter Black,
who has his church work on his
mind and could not. therefore, give
th* matter the‘research and Investi
gation the Colleton delegation was
forced to give it.
A Mississippi county recently vote l
$500,000 for good roads, and among
a great number of letters written by-
people in the county, the following
may be of interesf to Mr. Black as
showing the way people look at these
thing* after the road* have been
built. If space would permit we
could cite numerous instances wher*>
the people are delighted with v the
results of bond issue* for road con
struction In all our reading we
have not read of a single county
anywhere in the I’nited States, and
40 pet cent of the counties have
bond issues, in which the people re
gretted the issuance of bonds, wher
ve n common sense was used in the
expenditure* of the funds- On the
contrary there gYc n great manv
counties delighted, with their toads
Greenville county delighted with
the loads, being built with her $h00.-
non issue Spartanburg county ha.,
voted $1."00.000; Cherokee countv
h.i* just passed through an electioa
voting $.L’.VnoO 1,aniens countv

'ill vote on the matter of issuin';
i ItnCfoin pn the ^Tth inst ; Beau
fort and ('ha i lesion counties will
each have an election in a few
weeks Colleton should be the pio
neer in Southern Carolina
But. the following is th/' opinion
we wish to quote:
"I have never made an invest
ment for which I have gotten as
much financial returns and satisfac
tion as I have out of this road. The
advancement in property alone has
been sufficient to four or five times
pay the whole cost of construction,
and 1 do not think the county could
make any investment that would
bring in a* much returns as to build
a net work of them all over It It
Is such a good thing that 1 want ev
ery man i n the county to have one
just like it. and I am willing to pay
mv part of tho taxes to help him get
It.”
We trust that our good friend and
co-worker for the uplift of Colleton
county wHI see the error of his wav
and "get right”, on this bond issue.
We would like verv much to see him
a •'convert" and would urge him
only to exercise a hit of "faith” in
his feflowm.tr. and in the earnest
••'*ire of the county to join the for
ward march of events.

When the war came everyone in the

would go up. The makers of Style-

extensive advertising were duty bound
to keep on supplying the public with
"all wool fabric®, expert tailoring, the
skill of a great designer, 11 at the known
