VOTERS In JOHNSON
TOWNSHIP
OPPOSE RUTLEDGE COUNTY TO A MAN
In MASS MEETING JOHNSONVILLE DE-
CLARES AGAINST DISMEMBERMENT.
Editor County Record

Editor County Record
Rumor has it that Rutledge coun'
ty promoters are claiming that con-
siderable percentage of the voters of
johnson township are in favor of the
new county scheme, but at mass
meeting held at Johnsonville on July
"a, where quite a number of reple-
sentative voters from different Sec
tions of the township discussed the
disadvantages of slicing the county
into shoe strings, not one of taen
was in favor of the new county prop
osition, nor did any one know of II
single voter in johnson township
who is in favor of the new county.
And We propose to stand shoulder to
shoulder against its consummation.
We see no present need of cutting
the county, especially in that style,
and think it wise to let well enough
alcne for a while yet, and We would
urge everybody to turn out on the
18th of August and vote. But bring
your tax receipts and your registra-
tion tickets.
But, MIR Editor, We hear it ru-
mored around that some of US are to
be taken advantage of in this regis
tration matter, and that some who
were on time seeking to get tickets
were knocked out unfairly. Come
fair now, Rutledge county; come
fair, and win fair or not at all.
Everybody come to the polls anG
vote or leave protest.

Yes, Mr. Edito-, we had the err
pense of double taxation a good
many years ago and do not feel in
clined toward = repetition Of that
experience.
We all know that talk and prom.
ises are cheap, but when it comes
to raising hard dollars to erect
those spacious buildings from the
pockets of oar Iaooripg classes, then
we know that dollars will count.
Our Lake City friends say they
will erect these buildings from their
own resources, the corporate limits
of Lake City-that Goes all right as
far as promises 20. Yes, a great
many promises have been made by
other new counties, notably Lee and
Calhoun, the last Two added to the
State, but We fail 20 see where. either
of these ever made good their as
surance. The public buildings, if
erected at all, were paid for by the
whole county by general taxation.

If thf ole of Lake City preach
the true Jpel will JohnsonvilIe
shout and vote for the new county,
or will they vote against the new
county regardless of what the people
of Lake City may put up to build
the court house:
l promised the people of John :

formed and Lake City was selected
as the county seat, the people of
Lake City would put up the public
buildings, and If they fall down on
me and refuse or fail to put up the

let them know it in time to vote
against the new county,and will vote
against it myself. The people of
Lake City have not fallen down on
me, but will make good their prom

credit on the town and one that the
county will accept.
