RESOLUTION RESCINDED !
Executive Committee Takes Question ]
of Farm Agent Out of Primary
In response to a call meeting issued
t>y County Chairman A. C. 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and rescinded the resolution pass- '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.

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.

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.
