SEEKING INFORMATION
Mr Tyler Asks Several Pertinent Questions.?The
Reply,
H-o 0">mp lane? with the request
i of Mr. Tyler, the Herald turned
the following letter over to Col Spivey
so that the questions and replies
could appear in the same issue
of the Herald ? The Herald:]
Edifor Herald: I want to know if
it would pay the farmer, the men
and women, or the corporations who
pay taxes to vote for the $100,000 <
bonds as the proposed Act provides, i
to be expened on the public roads;
or is better to let the present road i
tax meet the demand without inter
o.st? If the 2 mill tax will pay the
p** interest on the $100,000 in twenty i
years and pay $50,000 principal and I
have $10,000, to p ly on the remain- <
der of the $50 000, why not let the I
present road system stand? For to i
let the present road system stand
looks to me would give us $100,000 i
instead of $100,000. Say the interest
on $100,000 would be $5,000 and
in twenty years would amount to I
another $100,000. This would go i
t> some man or men, bank or cor- I
p jration for the use of the money i
to build the roads with. When we, t
as tax payers, got through with the I
bond issue we will have paid two t
dollars for one, just as we have to i
do when buying goods on time to i
make a crop
S) I think wo had better let the f
present road system stand. As it i
u hmld the same roads v
, oath. The Chairman of the uouru
a of Managers ran administer the oath
to the other members and to the ^
Clerk; a Notary PuhH/? mi)o? ? ' - I
roads with. Mr opivey says that j
present taxes will pay the bonds in r
twenty years, and pay $(>0,000 more, (
What are we going to vole for bonds t
for? Havo we ^ot more money than \
we can speed, or is this a scheme to c
spend money beforo it is paid in or i
collected?
T wish to know something more i
before I vote for these bonds. This c
is rny opinion as I see it. I am a ]
persouul warm friend of MrSpivey, 1
? and have always given him my sup- 1
port, but I cannot suppoit this bond j
business unless I see more of the
chance to make good roads out of it
than 1 now see. <

The Reply.
It is with much pleasure that I !
reply to a letter of the kind written
by Mr Tyler. Here is an earnest
' -? * A % A *1
citizen wishing to una out tne irutn
aud be correctly informed upon an
important question now before our
people.
It is a serious matter to cast a
ballot creating an indebtedness unless
we know it to be for the betterment
of our condition. And yet it
is a more fatal mistake to cast a
ballot which would have the effect
of retarding our progress. Indeed
no true citizon wants to see his
county or his community bonded
without knowing that he and his
neigobors are to be benefited thereby.
I only wish that every voter in
Horry coudty would become interested
as Mr Tyler, arid study this
great question of bettering the con^
dition of the country people by giving
them a better system of highwavs.
Now, as to Mr Tyler's question.
He wishes to know which 1 regard
as the better plan?the one now in
operation, or the plan now to be
submitted to the people for ratification.
T am of the decided opinion
that the plan which will give immediate
relief and keep our taxes
down is by far the superior plan.
Especially do I think so when this
plan gives us results without any
additional tax levy. Should the
plan incur a heavy tax on our people
I would hesitate to endorse it,
even with its otherwise attractive
features I join hands with Mr
Tyler and all other good citizens in
an effort to prevent any increase of
taxes. This has been my thought
and effort for the six years I have
been a member of the General Assembly.
In this matter I have confined
myself solely to the task of
devising a scheme to get the roads
at no extra cost or additional burden.
\ The present plan, as endorsed by
Mr Tyler, or a similar one has been
tried f: r lo, these many years! and
I have seen but little improvement
in our highways. I could take some
consolation, for the sake of my boys,
if I had some guarantee that the
twenty years would bring to them
t.hfl results contemplated by Mr
Tyler; but our past history tells us
that ttoe system now in operation
has proven a failure and gives no
one satisfaction. I, for one, think
it time to try another remedy,
I can readily understand why the
corporations-the Mills, the Banks,
the Railroads and the larger property
owners would oppose an
effort to increase their taxes fot
road building, while they are not
extensive users of the roads: But 1
am puzzled to comprehend why anj
farmer or the average property
owner living in the country who arc
daily users of the roads could oppose
a plan which makes those corpora
(Pi i*
t.ioos and property owners pay their
pro-rata share in building the roads
for the direct benefit of all parties
usintr them.
Mr. Tyler evidently does not
know the financial condition of our
county when ho surest*d that ''we
eave more money than wo can
spend." On the c ntrary, 1 suspect
should he questic n the Supervisor,
or his Clerk, Mr. J. O Norton, he
will find that they have alreadyspent
not only the $0,000. raised
last year, but have created an indebtedness
of another $0,000. in
addition and the end is not yet.
It is true, as Mr. Tyler says, that
the $5,000 now raised yearly would
amount to $100,000. in t wenty years.
But may I ask, is Mr. Tyler willing
bo wait twenty years before he sees
the sand-bed roads around Bayboro
covered, and replaced by modern
highways. I am personally willing
t>o wait, but 1 rogord it a great in
justice to him and the ?largo rm?jorty
of the peop'e to compel them to
wait this indefinite period for relief.
It is also true that the money
sorrowed at b per cent, will cloubh
n twenty years, the same as that
sorrowed at 8 per cent, will double
11 about twelve years. But there is
ividently no injustice in this as v/e
lave had the use of the money at an
;xtremely low rate of interest and
'eeeiviug in return a large dividend
n the shape of good roads,
Tn the case of paying two dollars
or one in getting supplies, Mr Tyler
vill readily see that this is a cas
vhere the amount doubles in one
in t,he bonding matter

/et the money a 5 per cent. In the
ither case we pay 100 per cent
Dughfcthe man who voluntarily prae,ices
the latter object when we advance
a scheme whe ehv the ccunty
;an get the funds at the 5 per cent
nstead of the 100 per cent.?
But after all whyshould we worn
ir,d lose sleep over a problem to b
solved twenty or thirty years hence'/
[ am profound/ sorry that our
fath' rs did not conceive of a p/an
,iko this years ago, and given to us
i system of magnificent roads in
Horry. We of this generation would
join in sinking praises to their niemary.
We as true and loyal sons
would join hands in solyiug the
problem as handed down to us.
Then, why not let us true men and
: i
patriotic Citizens uuius II< t* utriui mined
effort to do our duty as we
see it, aud trust to our posterity to
likewise do their duty when the
problem confronts them.
M. E. Baracas at Work.
There was a business meeting of
the M E Baraca class held at the
Methodist church on Monday evening
of last week at 7:30 o'clock.
There was a real good attendance
and every one seemed to be interested
in the class.
We very glad to have Prof Bak* r
of the Baptist Baraca class, wi h
us.
The possibility of organizing a Y
MCA was discussed a committee
was appointed to work with a committee
appointed by the Baraca
class of the Baptist church to try
and perfect an organization of the
kind m our 10 wn.
Several were joined our class recently
and we feel much encouraged
by the interest which our members
are taking in this great work of
going after men
We hope to have a belter attendance
hereafter as we think the discussions
will be much more interesting
when we have m- re room
"We are always glad to have the
stranger in our midst. "

Died Near Labana.
On September 16bh, 1010, the
death angel visited the home of Mr
and Mrs A T Lilly and took from
them their loving daughter, Delia
Lilly, aged 24 years, 4 months and
14 days. She leaves a father, mother,
three brothers and one sister to
mourn her loss, but while it is our
loss we feel that it is her eternal
gain,
Dearest, sister thou has left us,
And thy loss wo deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
