CHEROKEE’S PROGRESS.

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.
