The Financial Condition of Laul ems
County.

Mr.. EDITOR: a very good way to get
at facts is by comparison. Take one
thing and contrast it with another
thing, array one line Of figures against
another line. This is what we intend
to do in this article. Laurens county
stands third on the list f all the conn
ties in South Carolina in raising the
most tax morcY, Spartinhurg and
Charleston being the two high est. We
will use counties bordering on au-
rens in the comparison. Abbeville
has about the same area ard popula-
tion and three represe natives as Lau-
rens and 1T looks like our county af-
fairs ought to be run as cheap as
theirs. Is this SO? No! Abbeville has
a tax rate OF 81 mills which raises
$l3, 700, against Laurens mills and
$685.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1900-08-08

lOJ
Abbevillc county has sixteen mules,
road machines aud scrapcs with we'll
worked public roads.
Greenwood county has 4 mills tax
and $23,8l4 assessed. Being q new
county we would expect q large tax
levy.
Newberry county, 4 mills and $l8, 900.
Anderson county, with larger popu-
lation than Laurens 4 mills tax.
Gre nvilie county with nearly dou-
BILE the population, 81 mills, $36, $50
q You DON'T pretend to say that Able
vile county expenses for the present
year are lid out one third the amount
OF Laurcns. Yes, this exactly what
the Comptroller General of South
Carolina in his report OF 1900 tells
How do you then account for the
superior financial condition Of the

Laurens has rs good and true men,

Of a very long and wearisome ser.

truths sink deep into your hearts
and lives to the end that your souls
may experience salvation. We will
now bow our heads in prayer.
Deacon White, will you lead2"
There was no response.
Deacon White" this time in a
louder voice, deacon White, will
you lead?"
Still no response It was evil
dent that the Deacon was slumber-
ing sweetly. The preacher made a
third appeal, and raising his voice
to pitch that succeeded in waking
the drowsy man he repeated
deacon White, will you please
lead2"
The Deacon rubbed his eyes and
opened them wonderingly as he
said, as it my lead2 No, just
dealt"
