In conclusion the following facts
Should be briefly stated, so that they
mav I e >. parated from the volnmtn
uous detail? of the shove narrative ef
the pr.lings:
1. Humter. the county as web a*
the city, needed additional railroad
facilities.
1. The extension of Igst Seaboard
Air Line from llart-v lb southward
afforded an opportunity?probably
the only opportunity thl< county
would have In many >ears?to ob?
tain a trunk line connection with one
of the three great railroad syst? m> of
the south.
9. To secure this railroad fot Sums
ter ? ounty certain conditions prescrib?
ed by the railroad people had to be
compiled with. vis. .he guarantee Of
rights of way from llartsville to and

was a business proposition that men
of admitted business sngaeli.v and tin
questioned personal and official Integ?

best interest of the county, of v hlch
the city of sundr la a part,
!?. It she lid also be borne in
mlad that the ciiy of sumtor appro?
priated MMN in the belief thai the
Indirect returns from better rail?
road facilities and the growth ft Milt?
ing therefrom would repay the in?
vestment since the direct returns in
the gray of taxes to be paid the city
by the railroad og its property with?
in the city can never be lufficlenl to
pay latorast on the original Invest?
ment of to eay nothing of
nltlmately repaying the principal,
While on the other hand the building
of the raihond will add $ 1 oo.ooo. per?
haps $ lit, tot. to the taxable property
of the conaty, the revenua from which
will reimburse the county, principal
iml interest, within n few years for
the ,> 12,000 appropriation. In ad?
dition to the direct and Immediate
returns the county obtain! from the
Ibuilding of the railroad, there are to
be Considered the indirect and inci?
dental hem-tits derived by the sta?
tion of the COUnty that will obtain
I railroad facllltlea it heretofore lacked.
I lo. it shrtdd also bs remember
led that the city of gumtOf pays SOme
Ithing more than one-third of the
Ioounty taxes?more than 111,000 per
I year into the COUnty ordinary fund?
I not a dollar of w hich is spent in the
Icily, save that pnid to county offiolals
las salaries and the amount expended
Ifor COUrt expenses, the balance going
Itoward maintenance of roads and
Iother county expenses, from which
I the county derives the direct benefit
and the city only the indirect and inci?
dental. Therefore, since the city
Ipays more than one-third of the total
I COUnty taxes the city Is paying more
I than one-third of the $12.000 appro?
priation by the county in addition to
I the ||#,t?0 appropriated by the city.
|Thls Issue of what the town does Tn
Icomparison with what the county
I docs is not of our seeking, but since

I from one end of the county to the
I other. It is well to get the cold facts
Ion the record.
I ?very n an who has condemn* d the

jor. county board ami all others who

jshould ask himself what he would

n of the graded school. There
tven many Lpplications, as- usual,
'. the board had a good held to
eh< se fi < m. M r. J. K. Hamilton, j
of t heater, was elected as principal.
He Is a graduate i t' the University of
South Carolina, and comes very
highly recommended, having taught
for six years, Miss Luctle White. of
Jefferson and Miss Alice Cooper of
M yesvllle, were chosen as assistants.
The former has had several sessions
experience In the work and is highly
spoken of by her former patrons. Miss
Cooper taught here before, Is a grad?
uate <>f Winthrop College, and needs
no Introduction as to her ability and
litm is for the work. The school en?
joyed a Very successful session last
winter and it la expected that the
coming session will be ?-von more so
and that the attendance will bo in?
creased.
j State and county politics are not
causing much talk here as yet. Oc?
casionally an "pinion is expressed but
the weather is too warm for heated
arguments. Much interest is. of
i ourse, b, tng taken in the campaign
and in the work of the dispensary
investigating committee, and fron,
whai can be gathered, the general
concensus of "pinion is that things po
litlcally have become pretty rotten in
South Carolina. It is too soon to
make any prophesies as to the out?
come Of the county elections, but some
of the candidates have some strong
supporters around here. if talk
counts for anything.
