proposition to confer Win tne SRoVernofy III
reference to. the postponement OF the collection
of taxes. This was one of the best things ac-
complished by the Convention. 1t will be
good thing, if in all the future, the collection
/ of taxes be extended over period of four, or
even five months. 1t will give plenty Of time,
|, not only for the payment Of taxes, but for the
correction of errors, and thus save trouble and
costs. " .vo
Mr.. Smart, of Beaufort, introduced some res
olutions, one of which contained the novel
proposition that the Governor be requested to
extend transportation to the members of a
Committee of not more than ten members,
which should visit New York, to Investigate"
OUT Financial Agency there. He did not indi-
cate what State funds were to be drawn upon,
in the absence of an appropriation. He was
also willing to assist the Governor in filling the
offices. It is to be supposed that the Conven-
tion enjoyed this respite from graver matters,
as we hear no more of it afterwards. Perhaps
a committee attended its funeral, striving to be
serious, as is usual at burials.
We again hear of the Fire Loan Bonds, in a
resolution offered by Mr.. Simons. II it is clear
that the State is liable on these Bonds, there
can be no question about it being right to pay
them. 1t is an old matter and should be looked
after. Whatever other changes were made by
the war, State or individual liability for just
debts was not changed, and is only limited by
ability to pay. We have entered on new era.
The rubbish of the past should be cleared away,
by full and honorable adjustments, when possi-
ble-by partial and honorable adjustments,
where nothing more can be done.
The next matter of moment, was the' report
on cumulative voting, made by Mr. j. +.
Thomas, on behalf of the Executive Commit
tee. This subject is too wide in its scope to
find space in this letter.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1871-06-08


Can this last proposition be doubted? Take
away railroad, facilities to-day, and whaS would
be the result Property would depreciate at
once, business Become stagnsteG, and every
man in the county would suffer thereby Then,
increased valuation must necessarily affect eve
ry man in the same proportion, and the burden
Of taxation be made correspondingly lower. OF
course, it is well known that only the interest
| Of, the bonds must be provided for until the
bonds fall due, say thirty years from this time
Shouad the stock become profitable, as is conf
IDENTIFY expected, then the'interest would be ex-
tinguished by dividends fem stock; and if ii
was desirable at any .time,. the County might
sell its.stoch and redeem its bonds, which would
/ end the whole transaction.
/ The vast Importance Of this subject, so far as
our lbcati interests are concerned, has i1dliced
this lengthy article We are desirous OF en-
tightening our readers fully on every point, and
have endeavored; to, place the question fairly
before them. AT the meeting next Tuesday,
the citizens will probably request the County
Commissioners to make a subscription to the
capital stock of the Air Limo Railroad. 1t twill
devolve upon the people, if the County Com.
missioners comply with this request, to exercise
their right and privilege of determining by bal
lot the whole question. We have no fears as
to their verdict, when the matter is thoroughly
understood. Its long connection with this en-.
terprise and the overwhelming advantages to
be derived from the passage Of the Air Line
Railroad across its territory, makes the result o
foregone conclusion that Anderson county will
discharge fully the duty and obligations resting
upon its citizens in this emergency
