to pay in ease the bond issue carries.
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

yearly payiment for good roads would

more itani tle tax on hlis dog if he has

Entised Over Greenville loads.
I'ditor The Advertiser: /
I have just returned from a trip
over the Greenville county roads. 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.
