Klfpirfit KhowliiK tb»t tb«> County Out of l>rbt Kxropt for Railroad Bondir To students of political economy wiio are interested in the progress ttnd prosperity of their county the following facts, which were furnished Tii*- Ledger by Mr. W. H. Ross, the efficient and accommodating clerk of the board of county commission ers, will prove interesting reading. Few counties in booth Carolina, if in deed there are any, can make such a, remarkably good showing There has been paid out in the coutitv f r the year 1902 the sum of $39,178 39 This was the total tx peuse tor Cherokee for the year, at d was divided as follows: For the ctiaitii.atig $2 892 50; paid out by the township comm"ton-rs out of the $1 >oail tux. $2 371 34; paid out of ordinan countv tund lor roads and bridges, $2 074 79 making a total that exo-mied lor roads and bridg* s, $7 938 GO. This does not include what hue net n paid on the new Broad river bridge. F r con t'ngent account the total was $1 310 14; for po r house and poor $1, 370 19; for county commissioners, townshipcommis-innefs,county board o( t q iaiizain.il, $713 00; for auditor, treasurer supervisor, clerk of county board and superintendent of educa tion, $1 452 22; for cleik of court— salaet m> d fees—ti d sheriff s salary, $2,858 57; for coroner and judge of protiaie, $105 24; for court expense of 1902, $2 915 35; (nr magistrates and constables, $1,109 48; interest on railway bond-, $3 746 87; boons and stationery, $417 53; for retiring of bonds hi d pa\ meul on bridge debt, etc , $15 100 54. The county yet owes $51 500 f or railroad bonds that were inherited from the old counties, divided as fol lows: York section. Three 0. 7 per cent bonds $23 400, due and pavable in 1911; Union section, $11,400 «. vfe A 0 p'-r cent, bonds, due amt payable in 1915 25; Spartanburg section, $16,700 0 per cent, bonds, due and payable in 1905 08 11. These figures show that the county is entirely out ot debt, excepting for those bonds, and that these are being retired’as fast as they fall due. The levy for this year will be for the Spartanburg section 12 mills, the York section 14.J mills, the Union section 14 mills. This is a reduction from last year of from 1 to 14 mills, and a reduction from the first year of the organization of the county of from 3 to 5 mills, which goes to show that the people made no mistake when they voted to create Cherokee county. This is the lowest levy of taxes within the recollection of Mr. Ross. It is also an indication that the county has been most fortunate in its selection of county supervisors and coil' v commissioners, as the fi- uaucieiiug of the county depends wholly upon the business acumen of these officials.
