wood, Lee, Calhoun and other
new counties and are impressed
with the fact that taxes are lower
and that the people are happy,
prosperous and contented. Bam-
berg, for example, used to belong
to old Barnwell. Twenty miles
of sandy roads lay between BAN
berg and the county seat. Taxes
were high (about as high as they
are in Marion today and the
county was getting deeper and
deeper in debt. Bamberg cut off
400 square miles and formed a
county of her own. That was Is
years ago. Old Barnwell's tax
levy has never decreased. She
still owns her sandy roads. Bam-
berg is net work of good roads,
the county is out of debt and it's
affairs are in such excellent shape
that at the last term of court the
presiding judge complimentcd the
people and told them that Bam-
berg was in better shape than any
county in the State. While the
other New Counties have not done
quite as well as Bamberg still they
are in better condition than when
they left the mother counties.
Their roads are better, their taxes
are lower, their public affairs are
more economically administered,
and best of all the people are hap
pJ and contented. There is moth
ing experimental or hazardous in
the effort to divide Marion. The
people are simply doing what
ought to have been done ten years
ago. Five years from now moth
ing would induce us to 60 back to
the old county if we could and the
old county wouldn't have us if we
wanted to 20.

The platform will be built of con-

vide all the comforts the travelling
public could desire. Work on the
station will begin next week.

The hook-worm might as well
capitulate without firing a gun.
The loathsome little parasite
which has been causing so much
trouble in the south has had its
day and its annihilation is near at
hand. Rockefeller has announced
that he will give 81, 900, 900 to-
ward the complete determination
of the little pest and the hook
worm is too feeble a creature to
stand any chance in fight against
Standard Oil. We say the hook
worm is doomed; ere many months
have passed away its annih,lation
will be complete because Standard
Oil has overthrown and conquered
greater forces than all the hook
worms combined could ever hope
to be. Standard Oil has fought
and conquered great combinations
capital; it has stripped epaulets
from the shoulders of captains of
industry and reduced them to the
ranks of paupers; it has laughed
at the federal courts and has made
plaything out of the government,
and what chance is there for the
feeble hook-worm n a fight
against such odds? It's time to
write the hook-worm's epitaph.
The whole family is doomed.

The Herald is not making e

The Herald is not making ex.
travagant predictions for politi-
cal effect, but after canvassinp, the
situation thoroughly it sincerely
believes the New County will
carry the election on December
18th. by one of the largest major
tiles ever polled for a New Coun-
ty In the history of the State. In
the election held January 16, 1901,
the New County was lost by only
43 votes. In that election only
ESQ votes were cast at Dillon.
The present voting strength of
Dillon is ABOUT 600 and it is safe
to say that sos Of these votes will
be cast for the New County. Out
side of Dillon, particularly at the
polling precincts on the borde3
line, there has been a wonderful
change of sentiment in favor of
the New County, and Influential
men who opposed or looked upon
the movement with indifference in
the last election, have become
enthusiastic New County men.
One reason for this change of SEN
timent is that the masses have be-
gun to think fo r themselves.
They are no longer misled by the
extravagant claims of excessive
taxation. They have watched the
development of Bamberg. Green

When the nitrogen needed by
our soils is obtained through de-
composing legumes there is sup
piled something more than nitro
gen-humus. This humus is no
less necessary and will as surely
increase the production of our soils
by improving their physical con-
ditions. The growing of nitro
gen-gathering crops, therefore,
supplies the two needs of our soils,
which, taken together, unques-
tionably stand first in importance

Director Wiley was roundly
abused for turning States evil
dence in the Farnum trial, but so
far we have failed to see any criti-
cism of Hub Evans in connection
with the dispensary trials. The
Herald does not say that Hub
Evans has furnished information
to Attorney General Lyon or to
the dispensary investigating COM
mittee but there are in the hands
of the committee some of Evans
private letters that look mighty
SUSPICIOUS: If Evans did not turn
those letters over to the investiga-
ting committee how did the COM
mittee get hold of them? They
were private property and the
committee had no right to invade
Evans private Office and appro-
PIRATE them. Every man connect
ed with the dispensary has been
drawn into the net except Evans
and as Golfers has said all the
trails lead right up to Evans

But then what about those letters9
Is Evans guilty of no wrong doing7
Is he too shrewd to be caughtl

The New County.

Now for the New County, yes,
The conditions are all met.
All things are ready now we guess.
And the election time is set.
The election will soon be over,
And such victory it will be.
Inc new county vote will cover
Every foot of land you see.
The men who once opposed
Have watched each move with care
And seen some things they supposed
Were not exactly right if fair.
Tom Dillen has been faithful,
Has been as true as steel,
And never made an unfair pull
This, all the voters surely feel.
He fought the crooked line
That would have ruined Latta,
He's always been polite and kind
And considerate in this natter.
The conditions that now prevail,
Twill be useless to oppose,
The New County ship will safely sail,
over every obstruction of its foes.
The men of Latta will take hold,
According To their word,
There's not one so bold
TO sacFafice his own manhood.

For II the little spark once there

the letters? There is an air of
mystery about the whole thing the
public cannot understand.

hio iiidllSl vi tdASS -ltl us
talk about it. 1t is so unimpor-
tant as to be unworthy of consid-
Grafton, but it is one of the thread
bare arguments against N w
Counties and is bound to come up
sooner or later. In fact, it has al
ready been sprung in remote cor
ners of the New County A man
of intelligence told a man who
couldn't re a d and write the
New County would tax away his
land. The man who coulnd't read
and write was a conscientious man
and he believed the intelligent man
until another man of some intelli-
gence and more scruples came
along and told him better. That
is why we want to talk about taxes.
Taxes" is one of the stock argu-
ments of old counties because
shrewd men know the quickest way
to reach voter is to touch his
pocket. They tell him it will cost
more to run twocounties than one.
This looks plausible. 1t takes more
to feed two horses than one. Ask
them why and they will tell you one
set of officers is doing what it will
take two to do after the New
County is formed. This, too,
looks plausible. But what about
the expenses of the county? Ap-
proximately, Marion county's an
nuaf expenses are Sis, 900. 1t
takes about 81 900 of this Sis, 900
to pay the salaries of Marion s
officers. The remaining S1OS, 900
is spent for schools, roads and
bridges, poor house and paupers,.
etc. Now this $1,000 represents
about ia of mill on $4,000, 900
worth of property and Marion S
levy for all purposes is about %
mills. This is what more tax
es' means. In other words about
/ n of mill will pay the salary of
every officer in the New County.
What, then, is there in the tax
argument? 1t is merely bugaboo,
a scarecrow, a hobgoblin, to fright
en- timid voters and to mislead
unthinking men. 1t will not cost
any more to build a bridge in the
New County; the roads can be
worked just a little cheaper in a
smaller territory, school teachers
can be employed at the same sal
aries i'll the New County; lumber,
stock feed, groceries and other
things counties need can be bought
just as cheaply in the New Coun-
ty as they can be bought in any
other county. Now as to economy:
Any farmer will tell you that two
horse farlncan be run more econo-
mically than a ten horse farm. IF
a ten horse farm netted as much
per acre as a two borse farm,
lands would be worth their weight
in gold. Does not the same rule
apply to counties? This tax prop
osition doesn't amount to anything
with men who think but if you are
approached on it mildly enquire
what per cent. of the couIty's in
come is spent for salaries and see
how quickly your old county friend
will take to tall timber.
