May I da.-t- hope to see a C""d contingent nf the democratic party of Sumter town in Attendance upon our mass meeting on the ist Monday in March, fur the purpose of as? sisting us in Selecting delegates to the State Convention? Af any rat? i will console my- j self until then, by remembering that wonders richer cease. Respectfully, WA. JAMKS, JR. Public School Building. Mr. F'W r: As thc election on the ques? tion whether or not Monds to the amount ut simoon be issued by the City ot Sumter for j nur:cse of erecting a school building is ; now near nt hand, un i a-s tm- advocates of the scheme ha VP given their side of the ques? tion to the public. w?- ask space in Miiir col? umns for a tew remarks on the subject. First. - As to its wisdom. Tin- Act of'SS. . makin-: the City i f Sumter a separate school district, deflates that "Ttie City Council"of the dry ot Sumter shall .at ?my time previous ro the rVst day ot June, of each lear, issue a ral! for a meeting," &c. 14E>tch year,'1 the Act say s. Now-, would i' be wise tor us to i-sue Bonds a:;d cree' a c?st!v school building when there can he absolutely no .-coi tata ty that . he school wi" run longer than any single year? An adverse vote at she annual meet? ing leaves us without the school. Would any ttiisisiess tuan erect the building to renton those-conditions? We il.-uk rot. It would m unsafe investment, and what would tte unsafe for the individual would t e unsafe for the corporation. Elections ?ire uncertain nt . besl au i so.ne dav o-ir c ty tn iy tl 11 an ele- : otiat.t on her hands in the sha;..j uf a fine school building with no funds to tun a school. Second.-As it? its justice. It is oppres? sive to tm- widow anil the orphan. Is it right to tax the poor widow and the orphan tn ..?luca'- she children of 'lu- rich, perhaps? W-- know of cases. Mr. Editor, right !;>-r> in Sumter, whe e iii" widow owns a small home and ?t takes the labor of beth herself and children to "keep the wolf from the door," yet l hese Same Ot plutus ur?- to ht- compelled lo cott'ribute to the support <?f schools which tiley ure loo poor to attend. T'lie-e widows have no voice in lb* election, but the irre? sponsible negro, wi,o own.? $23 worth t f per? son al property, .ami who is here to-day and gone irrow, ha? th?- right to voie a tux on those who have ihe property and who ex? pect to stay here, ls luis just ? Third.- As to increase of taxation. Those wile favor the erection of ihe building tel! us that the cost will oniy be 25cts. on $1,000 ' worth of property. True, tm: let them re? member that the tax-payers ot 'he City of Sumter pM\ f..ur tonis school tax now. The . four mills tax amounts to$4 00 on tbe$lvK*0 worth of property, .an i 'iii.- is now proposed to be added to. Remember, ''it is tile last straw that breaks the camel's back."' We hear tire statement mad" that othei towns In the Slate ar- moving in the matter of rraded schools ami Somier will be ie': be? hind. Now, the'act is ttl it the educational advantages of Sumter art- second to no town of ?ts size in the State. Tile tow us w hich are moving in these matters are compelled to do so in order to obtain efficient schools, ton this is no! tile case with us. We have most excellent schyols, and lliC graded schon! sys? tem is not a necessity. And last, bul not least, we are opposed t.> the bond policy It is dangerous ('nee com mit fed to it there is no telling w In re we will end. Tin- friends of thc movement Say that the cost t * the enter? prise W?l] res! (?fi the Shoulders '.' ?'ioSe who are now being educated liiere and that w-, who vote tire tax. will lott have tnt- burden to dear, lt that weie the cage. We a-k : Would it be fair ? Mut :h?- argument is a fallacy. We do have the burdell to ('ear. and those who a:- now being educated will not, toa ltirge=eX-teot, ;IHV the principal, lt is no adr vantage ;.; ;..iy ?uti res' and no one who is ?hie ever buys property on "me when he can pay cu.-;. tor ;t Then ?j. a profit in interest and those who have riionev tu ?end on good security generally make the -nan for as long * time HS practicable. So, we cu. see that put? ting t tl tire day of payment for I wen tv vears is rio a>lvantage. Then, in lejai i to our other proposition, we venture the assertion tnat, of those who wit i pay lite principal when it :- du-, twenty years hence, not more than one-fourth will come from the ranks ot l!loSe tKiW heilig educated af the public School New blood wi.i have to foot the bili, and tuis would t.e unfair. li-fleet ot. these things: before you vote.
