The Taxpayers Vote.

In an interview given the Pie
aynne by Mayor Jos. II. Legucnec
of Abbeville, he IS quoted a,
saying that "Two years ago tn,
people of Abbeville voted a -
mill tax for tho erection of f;
$4,000 school house. Soon after
the saloon license was raised from
800 to $1,000 Instead Of six
teen saloons we have eight, in
stead of receiving $1,000 we re
ceive $50 This increase in tn,
revenue of the town has bee,
sufficient to pay for the school
house without the - mill tax
and the decrease in the number OF
saloons has so lcssen,d crime that
we do not have to spend as mucl
money for police protection as We
had to do in former years Only
day before yesterday the people
by u vote Of 2 tO1, decided upon
taxing themselves for $40, 600 for
