Hinds, the \ members of the county Democratic ! executive committee r..e> ere Saturday and rescinded the resolution pass- ' ?d at a previous meeting which put up to the voters of the county the ' question of retaining rural police, ] agriculturl and home demonstration agents. Dr. W. W. Long and T. B. Young ' were here to appear before the com- 1 rnittee, had it been necessary, to make :lear the inadvisability of placing ' matters of an educational nature, such ( as the federal extension work, into county or state politics. There is a ' strong sentiment in the county in 1 favor of returning the agents of ex- ' tension work or farm and home dem- 1 onstrators. It appears to th' newspaper that 1 the cause of opposition to these very ' important factors in the promotion J of progress and the upbuilding of ' Williamsburg county in a very material way is due to a mistaken notion on the part of our people as to the ' cost of these agencies to the taxpayers. In connection with the cost side of the question, The County Record is able to present the following 1 figures, which are concrete facts boiled down to a minimum: Acreage of land in county, outside of town, 595,979. Value of real estate in country $2,662,710 Value of real estate in cities, towns, villages 640,420 ] Uoliio /vf norcnnnl nmnprtv in county 2,784,920 ' Value of railroad property in county 1,231,510 J Total of taxable property 7,319,560 ' Amount of taxes for all j purposes in 1920 312,481 Amount of funds from county for county agent 1,200 Amount from farm real estate which is paid on sal- t ary 436 ' Amount of agent' salary : from city, railroad and personal property 764 ] Total percentage of agent's salary actually paid from farm real estate. 16%. | Amount paid on agent's salary by ' each hundred acres of farm land, 7 cents. 1 In other words, if the county agent should save one hog worth $14.00 to ' jach farm of 10o acre size every 200 | pears, he would save all that he cost :hat farm in taxes. Williamsburg county pays to its bounty agent $1200.00 and the Fed;ral and state governments pay $1,- ' 300.00, which is not only his salary, 1 jut the agent out of this furnishes ( lis car, gasoline and all upkeep and { ill other expenses to which he is put ] In connection with his work. I ? I IILLY SUNDAY OF AGRICULTURE < ro be in Williamsburg County August , 28th and 29th. Mr. N. E. Winters, specialist in soil J fertility, better known as "Billy Sunlay of Agriculture," from Clemson * Allege, will be in Williamsburg coun- 1 ;y for two days this month and will speak at three different points. Mr. s ^'inters spends cnly about three nonths in South Carolina each year, ' ;he rest of his time being spent at Cornell University. It is very seldom ve have the opportunity of having such an authority come to us, so I 1 lope that every fanner in Williams)urg county will make a special ef- 1 fort to attend one of these meetings. Fertilizer bills have kept us in pov- ^ u*ty many years. Old mother nature stands ready at all times to help us reduce this great expense, but we pay ^ 10 attention to her, but depend entire- . y upon commercial fertilizers to make >ur crops. We make the crops, but ^ t takes all the profits to pay the * fertilizer bills, so what have we gain- ^ id? It is a losing game, for each rear our soils become less fertile. , Mr. Winters will speak at the fol- I owing places: Kingstree, Monday, August 28th, at L2 o'clock. Bethel, Monday, August 28th, at 5 p. m. Cedar Swamp, Tuesday, August 19th, at 2 p. m. Attend one of these meetings and earn how to cooperate with Mother Mature to make better crops at less rost. T. If. CATHCART. County Agent. o< A Sad Loss. Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, I Lad gone to pay a visit to a friend in i distant city. His friend met the enator as he alighted from the train. "How are you, Joe?" his friend isked. "I'm up against it," was the reply. I lost the best part of my baggage." "Did you misplace it or was it tolen?" his friend asked. "Neither," said the senator. "The, ork came out." ; Letter From' Commissioner Chandler. Mr. Editor: There has been so very much said in reference to the chaingang expenses that I'd like to let the good people of old Williamsburg county into some actual facts concerning ?ang No. 2 of this county. In August of the year 1921 I requested our capable and efficient superintendent of gang No. 2, Mr. John S. Brown, to keep a record of every jxpense of this gang, which he has lone for the past eleven months and is as follows: Cost of feeding men, $1,282.07. A.veragf cost of feeding one man per Jay, 2316 cents. Cost of feeding mules; 12 mules for 3 months, 6 mules for 4 months, 7 mules for 4 months, $1,130.74. Average cost of feeding 1 muLe per month, $12.85. Gas, oil and repairs to truck, $724.90. Cost of truck driver, $594.00. Total cost of truck for 11 months, $1,318.90. Cost of truck and driver per month, (119.90. Dynamite, $346.00. Superintendent and guard's salary, (1,645.00. Shoes, clothes and bedding, $276.75. Medicine for men and mules, $25.25. Cost of tools, repairs to stockade, gear for mules, soap and general repairs in all lines, $555.04. One two-horse wagon, $60.<K Total cost of gang for 11 months, (6,639.75. With the expenditure of this amount there has been built 18 miles of 30 foot road, which will compare very favorably with any top soil road in eastern South Carolina; 3 miles of 25 LUUb X UaU) U liui^o V* MV *wvw * vw%.| miles of road shrubbed and plowed, rid width (16 feet) making a total yt 51 miles, all in good condition. Also the following bridges, 16 feet In width and floored with 3 inch yellow pine lumber: 1 bridge 80 feet long, L bridge 32 feet long, 1 bridge 140 Feet long, 1 bridge 32 feet leng, 1 a ridge 42 feet long, 1 bridge 28 feet long, 1 bridge 10 feet long, 1 bridge 28 feet long, 1 bridge 32 feet long, L bridge 26 feet long, 1 bridge 30 feet long. Estimating the cost of lumber and culverts used on these roads at $1,500.00, (which is an over-estimate) K-ould make the total cost of roads built by this gang $8,139.75, or $160.78 per mile. Had this gang only built the 18 miles of 30 foot road, it would only have been $452.21 per mile, and I repeat this road compares very favorably with roads built in eastern South Carolina at a contract price of probably $2,500.00 per mile. Let us go a little further and add the entire cost of equipment, (mules md road plow) which cost approximately $2,000.00. Here we have the sntire cost of expense and equipment which will be $10,139.75, making the 51 miles of road and bridges cost us ^198.82 per mile, and yet we have the equipment left, which in my opinion las depreciated less than 40 per cent. These figures are a matter of rec>rd and can be obtained by anyone wishing same. Now, gentlemen, these figures and he result (which jjiy one may see jy getting the figures from record, md taking a ride over the roads built) will speak for themselves. Thank you, Mr. Editor, for your >pace and wishing you much success. J. W CHANDLER. Lanes, S.
