THINKING FOR HIMSELF.


Editor Herald
| have been -cad ng with un-
usual interest what you have had
to say about the tax argument
the old county people arc using
against the new county. There
was a time when had an idea
that taxes in the new county
would be higher because thought
it would be cheaper to feed one
horse than two, but since you
have called my attention to the
fact that about the smallest item
of expense in the total annual dis
burSementS of a county is the sal
ary item | have come to the con-
cluSion that taxes in a smaller
county that could be economically
managed would be much lower
than taxes in large county
where there is so much unavoid-
able waste in the building of
bridges and roads and in the pur-
cha sing of supplies. The only
possible item of expense there
could be any increase on is the
salary item and as the total sal
aries for officers in the new Coun-
~ would not exceed $1,000 per
year it is quickly seen that even
if this additional expense was put
on us without any saving that it
would be so small that even the
largest taxpayer would never feel
it. While the opponents "f the
new county are having to say so
much about higher ta%Gs' and
showing SO much Solicitudc for
the wellbcing of the dear
pecpul' il is strange they do not
say something about the big sums
of money poor people have to pay
out every year going way down TO
Marion to attend court as witness
es, and the great amount of time
and money lost in having TO go to
the court house on first one pre-
text and another. The average
mans time is worth Sl.5O per day
Gas a labore1) and when he is
called to the court house at Marion
and has TO stay there three or four
days as witness at SO cents per
day he loses more in those few
days than he would have to pay
in taxes in five years. Then
again, there is no reason why the
people could not save more than
enough to pay the officers sal
aries by the more economical ad-
ministration of public affairs in a
county no larger than the new
county will be. / cant see any
thing in the tax argument" the
old county people have made such
hub-brlb" about, since have
taken time to study it out for my
eelf. 1t is also noteworthy that
the new counties all over the
state, with but one exception,
have the lowest taxes.
Six votes were polled against
the new county at Little Rock
before, but our people have found
out a thing or two and | wouldn't
be surprised if we didn't goose
egg" the oil d county at our poll
this time. Tax Payer.

Thanksgiving at Old Kentyre Church.

Way back in the 18th. century,
when Scotland groaned under the
persecution of a Catholic despot,
when ecclesiastical law was omnip-
liant, when burning Presbyterians
and other dissenters from the es-
tablished church was looked upon
as religious duty, and one we'll
pleasing to God and their country,
driven from their native land, from
kindred, home and friends, the
only refuge open to them was with
uncivilized savages in the wilds of
America, where christian men and
women have wrought out civili-
zatlon that has no equal on this
terrestrial globe. A wilderness
subd,ied, the grainery of the world,
and an open door to the oppressed
the world over.
Among the noble souls that fled
from the wreck and carnage that
had overtaken the land of their
birth, were the McIntyres, Nc
Eacherns, Carmichaels, Mckin-
leys and the Campbells. The lat
ter of the noble clan of Camp
bell, of which the Duke of Argyle
the hereditary head which has
stood in Scotland for the crown
and covenant of Jesus Christ, and
against the encroachments of King
ard Priest. One mile from Camp
bells Bridge on Little Pee Dee,
their footprints remain to this day.
The old Pee Dee Presbyterian
church will ever stand a monu-
ment, sacred to their memory.
Long since these noble pioneers
have gone the way of all flesh, but
as the advance guard that planted
christianity along the banks of
Little Pee Dee, they will remain
ensi1rined in the hearts of those of
kindred blood, and all who appre-
clate. the MANY blessings coming
through them. In after years
when peace and plenty came, the
increasing population of the little
colony demanded expansion. 1t
was decided to build another church
farther up the river, and where
kentyre now stands was the site
selected. In this the goth, CEN
tury since the Angels sang "Sa-
viour Born" the descendants of the
noble Scots have been faithful to
their church covenant. Each
Thanksgiving day is a day held
sacred by the congregation of ole
kentyre, and should be an inspi-
ration to all christian communities.
Here old and young come, not
with empty hand, but like Israel
of old each with their thank offer
ing. Then led by their faithful
pastor, DR.. Buckner, songs of
praise and thanksgiving ascend as
sweet incense to the great white
throne.
Short talks on subjects pertain
ing to the up building of christian
character and the spread of the
joyful news of salvation among the
benighted nations of the world.
Next on the program was a din
ner that only the well to do in a
farming community can spread.
The christian was warmed up to
do greater things for the Master
and the day to all was a day of
pleasure.

NEW COUNTY HOLDS '
BIG MASS MEETING.

/
the Largest Gatherings
Ever Held in Dillon.
There is no doubling the fact
that the New County is live
wire. Never before in the his
tory of this section have the citi-
zens been more deeply interested
In question. Mention of the
New County" secures instant
attention and there is no subject
that will hold the unfageing atten-
ton of an audience longer. At
New County Headquarters New
County is discussed all day and
far into the night. The subject
is taken up the next morning
where it was broken off the night
before and then all day long it
is kept up as necessarily as the
ticking of an eight day regulator.
After the 14th. the New County
people will find it hard to turn
their attention to something else.
Many of them, no doubt, like
Alexander the Great, will weep
because they have no more coun-
ties to conquer.
A call was issued Friday after
noon for a mass meeting of the
New County people in an hours
time. There was a large crowd
in town from the several sections
Of the New County and the object
of the call was to bring the peo-
pie together for public discus
sion of the question, and incident
ally to see how much interest the
people had in the movement.
Some thought it impossible to get
crowd together in that briet per-
1od of time, but if the call had been
made a week ahead the crowd
could not have been larger. They
responded at once. Stores were
closed without asking any ques-
tions, traffic on the streets ceased,
business was suspended and in less
than an hour the whole town look
ed as If some mighty power had
reached out out and commanded
Peace, be still"
AT the Town Hall was gathered
all of Dillon's business men and
nearly every one of the large crowd
of visitors fro,r from the different
sections of the county. 1t was
spontaneous gathering, entirely
informal, and extemporaneous
speeches were made by citizens of
the town and by New County ad-
vocates from other sections.
Of course, they were all friends
gathered together under one roof
and only the best of feeling could
prevail, but one impressive feature
of the gathering was that every
body was SMILING. The con-
trast in the temper of the people
at this and the mass meeting
held just before h election
in 1901 was strongly marked.
Everybody seemed to be happy
and sanguine over the result of the
approaching election. There was
not a sullen face in the entire
gathering and one could not help
but note the absence of that ap-
prehensive feeling everybody
seemed to have before the last
election. They had the SMILE
that won't come off-the SMILE
that seemed say WE'LL
VIM"
1t was meeting full of inspira-
tion and encouragement. +

WANTS PARDON FOR
JOE LLEWELLYN

Attorney E. A. Anderson is making
an effort to get a pardon for Joe Lew
ollyn from the state penitentiary.
Quite a number of citizens are in
favor Of the pardon as well as some
of those who convicted him.
Joe from all accounts for the last
ten months has made a model prisoner.
Some time last year NcLeod's store
on Main street was robbed, The po-
,ico department began an investisa-
uon and arrested three or four boys
They We're carried before Judge Wall
and plead guilty. and We're bonded to
await action of circuit court Upon
a plea tf insanity Attorney Anderson
fought the case. The evidence was
too strong against him and they We're
found guilty and sentenced to twelve
months hard labor.
Believing that the penalty paid up
to the present time has been severe
enough on so young a person, Mr. An
derson is trying to secure his release,
and later on an effort will be made to
secure the release of the other boys.
Llewellyn is only IS years old. His
record has been good as a prisoner
and the punishment inflicted so far
has been sufficient and seems to be
grounds upon which a pardon will be
asked for.
