It has been conservatively estiiat ed that a levy of 2 6-10 mills or I 26 cents onl the hundred dollars will take care of the Interest and sinking fund with tax values as they are. Allow Ing for no reduction in the tax levy for other roads, but acting on the cer tainty that tax values will increase from year to year, It ought to be safe to estimttate on a levy of 2 1-2 mills. ''aking the case of a man witli a hundred acre fari. three horses, a (.ow, a wagon and a buggy, we t1td that the total average valuation would be as follows: I00 ac res ..............$4; 1 8.00 : head of stock ..........126.81 1 wagon and I buggy .........21.00 S Cw .. .............. .. 9.10 $77s.2 1 I1y including household effects ald im'identais. we will run this m1an's tax rettlris tll to 1014i.0t.

Tle party went from Laurens to Prince ton and then. over the Augusta Road to Greenville. I have heard a great deal aiout tile good roads but I did not have any idea that we would find as good roads as we did. I no ticed that everything along the road looked prosperous. I will say that the peolle who live on these roads are able to load thelr wagons but not their teamns. I heieve that one mule will pull as much on the improved roads as a team of foir will on the 1itunimproved roa ds. We vilI not be voting a tax on its on tile 27th by voting for the bonid 1issue but we will he making one of the best Investments to Imy mind. that we cal make. Let's make it 1111animouis on next Tueslday and have SOMe good roads. .1. W. Dlonnani. Laurens, S.
