Entered at the post office at Barnwell, S. C., as second-class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year |1.50 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Advance.) THURSDAY. MAY 11TH, 1933. Mother’s Day—May 14th. The great events of this world are babies—not revolutions, econo mic conferences and banking re- ifoims. And, by the same token, the most important people in this world are mothers—not soldiers, statesmen and bankers. It is fitting, therefore, that one day each year has been set apart on which to publicly honor the mothers of this great country—the mothers who are called upon to bring intc existence a new generation—to per petuate mankind upon this earth. The second Sunday in May has been aet aside for this great occasion, and next Sunday, May 14th, all of us will once more enjoy the great pri vilege of honoring the most important people in the world. The custom is for every son and daughter in the land to wear a flower in honor of “mother"—a bright-hued one if she still be spared to lavish her wealth of love and tenderness up on her own “great events”—a white one if her tired eyes are closed and her faithful hands are folded in the last long sleep. A letter—a tele gram—some little gift to “Her” will he appreciated more than words can tell. God bles a the mothers—and thank God it is still our privilege to wear a colored flower. of the special school taxes in Barnwell and Bamberg Counties and points out that Barnwell levie s a tax of four mill g for roads and bridges and one mill for interest on bonds. As to the special school taxes, they are, for the most part, for the erection of modern school buildings. As fast as these debts are paid, suJh levie s will be reduced. For instance, we understand that the reduction in Barnwell school disjtrict next year (when (he bonds for the present school building will mature) will be about 12 mills. The road and bridge bonds millage is probably for the good roads that the people of Barnwell County enjoyed when Bamberg was still in the sand and mud. The one mill levy is not for interest on bonds but for “past in debtedness bonds” and levied to offset money lost in defunct banks several years ago. (We sincerely hope that Bamberg County had no such unfortunate experience.) Our previous editorial was based entirely <^n the levying cf a tax for ordinary rounfy; puiTosee-for the operation of the county government— and wa s not a comparison of levies for pertnanent improvements. The Herald says: “It really make s no dif ference what the taxpayer pays for; it is how much the taxpayer' pays.” Wrong again, brother. It is what the taxpayer GETS for the money that he pays that really counts—and we are willing to stack old Barnwell County up against Bamberg along this line any day in the week, and Sunday, too. The trouble with many a man is that )iis income d esn't keep pace with his fvife's yearning power. BARNWELL’S TAXES The Bamberg Herald hates to throw a monkey wrench into anybody's machinery, and most especially into the machinery of such a god news paper and go d friend as the Barnwell People-Sentinel and such a go ><f county as Barnwell. However, duty stare* Uj in the face. The Herald re cently commented on the fact that Bamberg and Calhoun were the only counties which are paying as they g but The People-Sentinel tells us that while we are roundly congratulated Upon these fine records, we are not in the class of Barnwell, which has not levied any property taxes for Iw > years. Now that is perfectly splendid, and The Herald certainly congratulates Barnwell upon this fine accomplish ment. We have to admit that Bam berg has levied property taxes, will do so again this year, and perhaps will contiue to do so forever. Calhoun county doe 8 the same thing. But let’s analyze the situation just a bit and see “where we stand." Bam berg levied last .year 7*6 mills for ordinary county expenses. The aver age levy, in Bamberg county for apecial school taxes is 15 1-4 mills. We pay no taxes for roads and bridges, and we P a y no interest on in debtedness, because we have no debts. Total Bamberg county aveiage millage 22*. Barnwell county pays no ordinary levy, but it did pay last year four mills for roads and bridges, and one mill for interest on bonds. The special school levie g or the county *T!Fige over 19 mills. Total aver- sg e24. Therefore, without any ordinary expense levy, Barnwell county pays approximately 1 1-4 mill? more than Bamberg 'county pays. It really makes no difference what the taxpay er pays for; it is how much the tax payer pays. In conclusion, The Herald can only rteprint with approval the concluding paragraph in The People-Sentinel: •All of which reminds us of the story about the man who said to a friend: ‘I understand you made $50,000 in the atock market.’ Correct,’ said the friend, ‘except that the amount was 176 ,000, and I was dealing in real estate, and I lost instead of made’.” —The Bamberg Herald. Our good friend, the editor of The Herald, errs, it is respectfully sub mitted (a s the lawyers say), when it quotes us a s having said that Barnwell County has not levied “any property taxes” for two years. What we said vas that no taxes for ordinary county have been levied in that time, n The Herald proceeds to “analyse situation,” malting a comparison Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee.
