He came to Greenwood in 1880. He

any other public office.
The following tribute to Mr.. Lee is
Journal:
All Greenwood mourns today in the
demise Of Mr.. A. ST. Clair Lee, the
departure Of one Of her most valued
and highly esteemed citizens. If Mr.
Lee had an enemy in Greenwood, we
have never heard of him, and, yet, he
was a man for all that, man who had
positive convictions and the courage
to express them. 1t is very rare that
a man of this type does not have enc
mics, but Mr.. Lee was so amiable and
kind that people universally liked him
He had in his make up that which
made you feel that he was a friend
He was the very soul of honor. He
never wronged any man, preferring
the rather to suffer wrong himself,
Mr.. Lee has been a citizen OF
Greenwood for number of years, and
he has done his part to promote her
interest in every way possible. His
death is great loss and he will be
missed not only by his family and
loved ones, but by the entire COM
munity. For months he has been in
declining health and unable to be at
his place of business. During this
time our people have felt greatly con
cerned about his health. Greenwood
pauses today to drop tear over the
new made grave Of this esteemed gen
tleman and citizen, and to extend to
his family the tenderest sympathy. In
their bereavement the whole communi-
ty shares.

plate voting themselves into Enoree
county, that when they enter this
county they will have this burden to
carry. 1t doesn't appear to us as II
the new county could get along on a
levy of four or five mills when one and
half mills are required to carry the
debt alone. Idle dreams!

A NUT TO CRACK.

The distribution and the returns
from the three mill constitutional tax
are going to have great deal OF
weight in the new county contest
The circulars and newspaper reports
which we nave come across from,
Woodruff have not said anything abou,
this tax and have not given any figures
(such as population etc) from which
to draw conclusions We are there
fore forced to put a proposition to the
new county advocates 10 answer with
figures which they probably have and
yet haven't given publicity to. Here
is the propositions:
Youngs township has taxable prop
erty assessed at $352,00O, yielding un-
der the three mill tax only 81 1856
However, she has 1 sos school
children drawing about $500 apiece
under the regulations as to this tax
this money coming from the richer
townships OF the county. Thus she
gets about Sl,95i more than she pays
in.
Scufiletown township has .00C
taxable property from which is deriv-
ed, $693. But she has 799 school chill
dren drawing $i598 being $o05 more
than she pays in.
Thus Youngs township and ScufTie-
town township are now getting the
benefit of nearly $4,000 more than
they are paying into the county treas
ury.
Here is the proposition which we
put to the new county advocates: Will
Enoree county be rich enough to make
good this $4,000 now being made good
by the richer portions Of Laurens
county?
The Advertiser will be glad to print
reply to this proposition.

A DEBIT TO CARRY.

Woodruff estimates" her assessable
taxable property at $3,750 600. Deduct
ing the small taxable property which
is to be taken from Laurens county,
it will be seen that Woodruff proposes
to take over about one sixth OF the
taxable property of Spartanburg. In
taking over the property 1t also takes
over the debt, SO, in reality, Woodruff
would assume about one sixth Of the
debt of Spartanburg county or. in
round numbers, about 100000. Here
then, Is handicap Of 100000 to start
the new county off with. Besides this
there are other initial expenses to be
taken into account. When Greenwood
county was formed she had to borrow
about $4,000 with which to purchase
equipment for the chain gang. coun-
ty farm, etc. and about $4,000 with
which to finance her schools, making
a total OF about $4,000 that she bor-
rowed on which to begin the county
government. Thus, supposinG thG'
WOodruH Will nave TO DOfroW approx
imately the same amount that Green
wood borrowed and adding to it the
debt of 100000 brought over from
Spartanburg. besides part of the
debt brought oyer from Laurens coun'
ty, it will be seen that Enoree county
must start off with handicap OF
around 100000 Indebtedness. To
carry this debt, without reducing IT
one whit, would require levy of one
and one-half mills on $4,000 900 of tax
able property, larger tax than Spar
tanburg would have to levy to carry
her debt atpsix percent So, it ought

A friend called at the front gate
of the editor Of our Monthly in his
splendid automobile and took him for
a spin" up Laurens way on first
class road. About five miles out from
Clinton we passed thru the grounds
of the County Home" where the poor
old people Of the county, white and
black, are cared for. Everything look
ed neat and clean and for that the
people in charge of the home deserve
commendation; but the thought struck
us, what OF this county of Laurens.
Every day scores of automobiles swirl
past these log cabins and it would be
very poor auto indeed that was not
worth more in dollars and cents than
all Of the buildings and other furnish
ings OF the county home put together
We are shamed Of the whole lay out.
Whether the poor folks, the wards of
this country, are comfortable or not
in their ancient residences" we can
not say, but we are very certain that
to us that half of the people at least
who race past these cottages" would
rather be dead than subject to the dis
comforts that is in them. Mark you,
we are not saying one word against the
good people who look after these poor
folks, but we are doing our level best
to awaken the consciences of the cit
liens OF Laurens county to sense Of
shame as to the character of the huts
in which they have located these poor
weak helpless old people. A half doz-
