The good road question is agitat-
ing the country generally it is q
good thing and the country needs all
Of the agitation and all the good
roads that it can get What Sumter
needs is well developed and able
bodied agitation for good streets.
The streets of Sumter, with all due
respect aud consideration for those
who make them and work on them,
are not only not good roads. but are
not even up to the average OF the
ordinary highway that is now receiv
ipg such general and wide spread
condemnation Main strees is moth
ing more than succession of holes
aud rnts, over which is spread coat
ing of mud and an air of general and
hopeless disrepute. To drive on

When Main street has been put in
respectable condition. then The cam

into the adjacent country, but at
present the country can point TO the
most frequently used street in this
city as an example of what road
Ought net to De IAe cost OF paving
Main and Liberty streets in the busi-
ness portion of town, where traffic is
heaviest and where good roadway
is most needed, would not be exces-
sive aud the money required could be
raised by imposing license tax for
that specific purpose. The tax could
be levied on bicycles and vehicles,
as well as Oh business enterprises
and professional men. and there
would be bat very little objection
raised by those who would have the
tax to pay.
The imposition of a direct tax to
raise the revenue to pay the expense
of the national government would be
an intolerable burden to the land
owners of this State. Each farm
worth thousand dollars would be-
taxed Sill per anum John Gary
Evans is direcs tax advocate and
has committed himself to the policy
that would impose this hardship
upon the people he is asking to vote
for him A direct tax is worse than
bond commissions or wiliskey re
bates.
