we have good roads? Two dollars

tween the ages of 21 and 60 for

county is put on the roads, and over
one-fourth of the taxes collected
goes on the roads. Our last Legislature

of $250,000 to start a

$3,000 to be called Governor and his
secretary gets $1,500 to do the Governor's
work. The Secretary of
State gets $1,900 to wear the name
and he has two clerks at a salary of
$1,500 each, a total of $3,000, to do
his work, besides a stenographer at
$720. The Comptroller General's
salary is $1,900, and then he is furnished
a chief clerk at $1,600. an
audit clerk at $1,400, extra clerical
service $1,400, a bookkeeper $1,500,
stenographer $400 and porter $300,
services paid for by the State for
one office. Besides, all of the other
State offices are paid and upheld in
about the same manner. This in
part is the cause of high taxes and ,
why our State is in debt.
Can't the State Legislature make
own in this to
tinsc
it could be enforced it would be a
full brother to the State dispensary.
The Legislature was trying to make
another graft nest to hatch thieves,
but the supreme court killed this
graft with the constitutional hammer.
Now,brother taxpayer, take those
figures. Besides, you can add the
Clemson college figures of $400,000
or $500,000 paid in by the farmers
of this State in the guano tax. With
the same increase in taxes for the
next ten years as for the past ten,
- j
can we pay those taxes ana own uur
homes, with the millions of now
standing State debts?
If our voters don't wake up and
elect men to the House and Senate
who will use economy and reduce
those awful extravagances in appropriations
and make the running expenses
of our State less, the lands in
our State will be owned by landlords
and the poor people will be renting
their homes. Now, Mr Voter, you
have the picture before you. Decide
this day what you will do.
i Have you not had promises of economy
and reduction in taxes? Have
you ever got anything but increase
in taxes? With all of those extravagant
appropriations we are paying
one-third of a million dollars interest
on a State debt. Why is it that
our State is in this condition? Because
we pay three men to do one

If you are a housewife you cannot
reasonably hope to be healthy or
beautiful by washing dishes, sweeping
and doing housework all day,and
crawling into bed dead tired at
night. You must get out into the
open air and sunlight. If you do this
every day and keep your stomach
and bowels in good order by taking ?
Chamberlain's Tablets when needed,
you should become both healthy and
beautiful. For sale by all dealers.
Rub-My-Tism will cure you.
