As a business man interested natur? ally in anything which makes for the development or our section and State, 11 have watched the work of Mr. II. B. Heiser in the legislature with interest ami feel that while this is probably unnecessary it may not be unwise to call attention to a few facts which seem to indicate that he is making us u valuable representative and should be returned. J Three considerations should in? fluence a voter in his judgment of a i candidate for the legislature; hon? esty, ability and the capacity to utilize knowledge in a practical way. No one who has ever had business dealings with Mr. Belscr but knows that he is absolutely honest and un? usually frank. In addition to a clear mind he has ability to carry forward successfully large business deals and his success in his own busines has ful? ly demonstrated his^ capacity to car ry out his purposes. While a citizen of Sumter, his in? terests are not confined to the city alone und a largo part of his atten? tion is given to his farr i which he superintends personally. a large farm? er himself, ho is interested in and un? derstands the needs of tho farmer. It is not improbable that Mr. Bclser Is tho best equipped man in the State upon the subject of roads Good roads are his hobby. All of us be lievo In good roads but he does more than that. Ho knows the kind of roads and their comparative cost, how they should be built and the best nu t hods of financing a proposition with which to construct them. lie wanted a bond issue so that we could have $4 0,000 a year for road build? ing. The opinion of the county was divided upon tho subject and the is? sue not authorized. Yielding without grumbling to will of half our voters, he wert to work to get the roads any? way and had the commutation road tax authorized. This forces the negro to pay his share for the uso of the roads and incidentally "brings In about $10,000 a year for road build-j Ing. Now we are spending over $30,-1 000 a year on the roads of Sumter county, almost us much as ho origin-1 ally sugesled by the proposed bond Is- J sue. j When the 1 mill tax for common schools was passed, Mr. Reiser fought, for an amendment providing that one- ( half of this fund should remain in the! county in which it was collected, j This means that instead of having about $900 from this bill as original? ly proposed, Sumter county is receiv? ing $4,000 more for school purposes by means of this amendment. Had it not been for tho amendment this amount of money collected from the laxpuyc rs of Sumter county would would have gone into other coun? ties. The marriage license law provides that thero shall be a fee of $1.00, di? recting that 25 cents of this amount shall go to the judgo of probate (or clerk of court in some counties) for his entry fee and the balance Into the school fund. A number of amend? ments and bills hove been attempted in the 'egisluture providing that thej full lee shall go to these officers in-, stead of the 25 cents. This would j have indirectly deprivod the school; fund of a considerable amount o< money. Mr. Belser consistently had these propositions killed as they wero introduced. While these ofticcrs prob? ably don t like his idea along Ulli Hue, the citizens undoubtedly do. Hut above all that can be said In his fuvor la the potential value of the man In his relation to the equitable assessment of property throughout tho whole State. He has been making a study of this metier and his proposed bill along this line met with the ap? proval of the house committee lust term. But for the stress of business In tho house and Mr. Reiser's own} sic kness. It would probably have been pased then. It is in form to go I through the legislature at the next session If he is there to make a light for It. This bill, if passed, will be a great he lp to the small property own? er both In the country and city, and will, In a practical and fair manner bring Ike btlfd n of taxation between the largo and small taxpayer to a much more equitable basis. A business man who goes to the house of representatives in this State Is making sacrifices and I venture to say* that the members of the house last year. Kpps. Hick and Reiser, all of whom worked hard In the interest 'of the county and State, went to Ct>< jI u m Ida at a personal loss of money , a ml comfort. c1t11en. ,. a cijm ran plagu:. - Plague Victims Improve f lulcr Treat? ment at New Orleans.
