COMMUTATION ROAD TAX. The Merits of the Law Pointed out bj Hon J. Davis Carter. Editor County Record: With your permission I wish tc call to the attention of all road hands the importance of paying the one dollar commutation roar! tax while they are paying theii othertaxes. Now, Mr. Editor, it's a fact undisputed tint me poor people do the road work under the old overseer plan of working; hut under the law as it will be operated after this year, this will not be the case, because there is an authorized levy of one null on all taxable property to be applied to t he keeping up of the public roads. And now 1 propose to showwhy the poor man will not be required to do all the work as heretofore. Say Mr. A. pays taxes o u twenty-five dollars worth ol property; his commutation lax would be one dollar and the one mill triY 9-irv maktmr a total of $1.02$. Now, Mr. 1>. pays taxes on $15,000 worth of property; his commutation tax ;p one dollar and the ont mill tax $1.50. total $2 50. I think that anv one can see that the man who owns property will have to bear his just portion o( the roal tax, which I think is right and proper. Now, let's come together, man to man, and pay this commutation lax. I don't think we have a man in Williamsburg county subject to road duty who cannot pay that dollar between now and the first day of next April; and then, and not until then, will this confusion about road workbig be ended, I do hope everybody will accept this in the spirit in which it is written. Asa business proposi tion it is my purpose to brim: this matter to the attention of the people of the comity. It is to your interest, friends. Let every while man pay his road tax. Don'l forget thai the time expires on April 1, 19o3. I should like to hear trom others on this subject. Truly yours, J. Davis Carter. Leo. S. C., Oct. 27, 1902. An Approaching Marriage.
