We think too much of our
Lake City friends to let them go
without a struggle.
We are making no tight against
our Lake City friends. We are
merely on the defensive. It is our
honest opiniou that taxes would
be higher in the new county than
in the old, but then ours would
be high enough, in all conscience*
Did you notice that your taxes
last year were consiueraoiy oigneri
than the year before? How would
yon like to have them doubled
this year? If you don't know
how you feel on the subject vote
for Rutledge county and the tingling
of yonr pocket book nerve
will soon tell you.
In stating that Clarendon couuty
would issue bonds for $50,000
to build a court house, and that
Sointer had recently completed a
court house at a cost of $75,000,
we are informed that our figures
were wrong. Clarendon proposes
to build a court house to cost
160,000 and Sumter's elegant temple
of justice taxed the people
$125,000. Building comes high
these days. What kind of court
house and jail could be built for
$8,000?
Numerous complaints have been
received from subscribers all over
the county who do not get their
papers regularly. Of course we
are sorry, as a man is entitled to
what be pays for; but when we
print the paper and put it in
the postoffice, that is the limit of
our ability. "We may say, however,
that this condition obtains
with every country newspaper that 4
we ever heard of. It is impossible
to get the paper to every
wbscriber every week. We are
doing our best and if any one
thinks he could take our job and ,
do better, we will relinquish it to (
i and furnish

him the outfit free, if at the end
of a month he will tell us that
there has not been a single complaint
from the patrons of the
paper. j
I
More Taxes?
Governor Ansel, in his message
to the legislature, recommendf
an increased levy of two
mills to put the State on a cash
basis. He also recommends an in- crease
of salary for each State
official. Every county official in
the State is appealing (and justly ,
so) for a better salary. And yet ,
our Rutledge county friends say
in all serion8ness that to cut
Williamsburg county in half?
which they propose to do?would
not increase taxes. Run two
county governments at the price
of one? The idea is absurd.
Just as well gay tbat one and |
ooe njiike one.
Talk is cheat), but be not de- j
ceived. Read the signs of the
times and ponder well before voting
an additional burden to an
? I
already tax-ridden county.
Various and sundry rumors
have been lieai(I regarding the attitude
of Johnsonvil'e toward the,
new county scheme, but now a!!
