A very live question, thI at, of State aid to coultics, in pavingo, oil honded railroad debts, is being :lg itated ill certain portions of our State. t is a Subject which shouhl :Ilddress itself to every intelligelt voter of the country. It is4 oie of interes't to the poor as Well as to I he rich, It affects the interests o1 each, il as ntich as the Poor11 manl is Subject to taxation a. well as the wealthv. In our own coun tv the sIbIject is of the greatest imlpor'tance. P icekenls is burdfl ened( mOIe' heavily.than an1Y other coiun ty in the State in the w y o f ta xes. WTe feel thatr oui'pople., b a po)-11 bir' vote, would readily necept t he a id, that the State might give it, in pay mient of the great railroad deht which is hanging over the county. WXe claim that 4aid is 1more especi ally' duie us. Thei( Air LineC Ro0ad wa.s huilt at a timie, whleni ou1r p pie was not alive t~o the subject,. and~ when only ai parltial voice ce preCssed itself, ini vot inrg the sub Seiption of a hunldr'ed thiousan~d (loll ars to its construction. It was niot pla(cd upjonl the r'oute, that the i nter'estedl peopleC, ge'nera lly, wanft ed it. It is trute we brought the debht upon1 our'selves, but the cir' cumstances surroundling it should in a measure excuse us. A4s for our p)art we would not take twice the cost of the road for it, and be without one; but then we might as wvell be relieved, in a measure, of t his great burden as the people of C olumbllia ar'e blessedl with a State appropriationi for a canal. We pay a railroad tax of' 8 mills. Our County Conmmissioners hope that in the course of ten years, with the present rate of taxation, to pay off the entire railroad debt. Now the Air Line road pays a tax to the State of 5) millA. Is it ask ing too much of the State to re wi not go so far as to ask the State to give us the taxes which Charleston, ('o111m bi- or' evI G reenville pays. in.,eder that oi;" great. ddht might he liqited but we do ask it to refund th iis the aMount of taxes whithi Air Lilne Road pays in P'ickens ('ounl ty. It, would, in our opinion, be a w ise step if the G eSneral A (s bIly, voul1d enaet such a law as this.
