enee Zines article (Which we are
informed was his pEodnction) his
estimate was 991 square miles.
Has he made made a survey in
the meantime and discovered his
former error:
The latest map Of the State
We have <een places the area of
Williamsburg at 99l square miles,
which Was issued before the part
embracing Cowards WAS voted into
Florence county.
Mr. Sloll's figures are 94s square
miles for TIE total area of the
old county which, allowing for
the part cut off, would abont
correspond with our map and Mr.
Stars first estimate.
Now, as to the property and tax
question. If the one-third area
referred to pays hree-tifths of
the taxes they must own three
ffths of the property, i. e., (ac-
cording to Mr. Starr's figures for
the whole county with which Mr.
Stoll's practically agree) they Fay
taxes on S2,9s5.20O. But Mr.
Sto!l's statement taken from the
auditors books, mark you) show
10 the area affected only $l,s2S, 900.
Now, which is correct, Mr. STAIRS
of.haud assertion or the Official
6gures%
: There are other discrepancies in
Mr. Starts article, but the above
is sufficient TO convince anyone
not wholly blinded by prejudice
that either Mr. Starr or the coun.
ty auditors books are wrong. If
the latter, Mr. Starr should con.
ade to the public the source of
his superior knowledge and the
'paupers" that he and his con-
.stituents are supporting will, We
make bold to assert, with draw
any objection to Lake City,
and any other territory that wants
to go with her, departing bag and
