In remitting checks or money 01 ders make payable to THE COUNTY RECORD Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1921 The mass meeting of Williamsbur citizens held at the Court House her Saturday was, to say the least of i one of the most farcical affairs c its kind that cana be recalled by a intelligent citizenship. The meetin was held at the instigation of th newly elected delegation for the pui pose of getting a line on the need of the county and a comprehensiv view of the wishes of the peoplethe taxpayers?relative to such mal ters as can only be brought about b legislative enactment at Columbii Similar meetings were recently hel in many counties of the state and i is well that our delegation shoul have a citizens meetSig in order tha the several members should go to Col umbia fortified with the best idea and most urgent needs of the tax paj ers, regardless of the difficulties tha are more than apt to confront then * *v it j even hose who go win a weu-aenr ed plan, to carry out the wishes c their constitituents and ther^silvc.' More than likely they will find cond; tions different from what was es pected and new conditiors cor stantly arising. Then, a general ac monition from the people to do thi or that, without a thought as to th detail necessary to do the thing dc sired, is utter folly. For instance, t tell the legislators to reduce taxe; means little unless after the mr.1 ter is fully discussed in the genen assembly it is found that taxes ca be reduced. The chances are it wi be found impossible. Hysteria abov high taxes is unnecessary. Whateve it takes to run the governmental mi chinery and the schools of the staf must be put up by the people, an that is all there is to it. On the other hand, new project can safely be deferred, and if the leg islature should find it possible to abo! ish some departments, boards an commissions, wmcn may De iouna t little actual value to the people, b which some money may be saved, a well and good, but one thing shoul be kept constantly in mind: Let not! ing be done that will reduce the ei ficiency of the schools. Any legis lator who does not carry this in hi mind throughout the deliberations ove tax reduction will fail of his duty. 1 taxes are to be reduced at the expens of the schools, let there be no tr.x rt duction! By deferring the payment of taxe until September would seriously ir jure our schools or force the count to borrow money at a heavy interes rate. Yet the delegation was authoi ized to work to this end. No factors operating in Williams burg County during the past ten year have been more valuable to its agri cultural interests and progress tha the work accomplished through th unremitting enegeries of our farm an home demonstation agents, each a fat tor in the countie's industrial proges well worth many times the measle amounts paid them as salary and trav eling expense. It would be ruinou to discontinue this work. Yet the sug gestion was blaringly made and th delegation instructed to that end. Then again our road system wa attacked. One citizen seemed to thin it should be discontinued because th present plans for a state highwa did not include his premises in il course, would sacrifice state r.n federal aid for road improvement t save the expense of a competent roa engineer. Wonderful retrer.chmcr this, as it would nullify and put at a end for time to come the best and mo: progressive legislative work ever er acted to the inclusion of William: burg County. The rural police system was attacl ed. In fact, it looked to us like ever] tiling for which the county has to e: pend money was in imminent c.ang for awhile but by a great many prol ably becoming disgusted at the al surdity of the discussions and lea1 ,v W ing the meeting the affairs of the i ^ county are still safe, we believe. 1 To the credit of the meeting one ' wise and perhaps timely suggestion was offered. This was by way of au thorizing the delegation to use its ut- 1 V most endeavors to abolish the South Carolina Tax Commission. !- 'llie Record has faith and confidence ; ,0 in the men chosen to represent the ! 13 county in the General Assembly, we ? feel sure that each and every one of them will work and vote as his eont. science and judgment, as a business , man, dictates and that in all matters g 10 pertaing to the welfare of Williamsi burg they will all de their duty ns they see to it l-egardless of the blai^ey of- \ l" fered at th?
