THE RAILROAD DEBT
1t Is Being Paid Without Bond Issue
Will Take Three Or Four
Years.

Al the session Of the Legislature Of
1913 d bill was passed authorizing is
sue Of $4,000 in county bonds TO take
up the railroad Indebtedness Of town
ships No. one, eight and nine This
was in connection with issuing bondS
to pay indebtedness of the county.
! On account Of some teoAnicality the
commission appointed to handle the
bonds, could not dispose OF them. Mr..
Fred H. Dominick who had handled
the railroad Indebtedness OF the town.
ships opposed issuing OF bonds, on the
ground that with the present tax levy
the railroad Indebtedness would be
paid off in few years and it was not
business like to put a bonded indebted
ness on the county for this purpose
to run for twenty years.
The money for the railroad in
debtedness to take up the old bonds
had been secured through the State
Sinking Fund commission and instead
OF paying per cent. as the original
bonds required, the Sinking Fund was
charging only per cent.
The county treasurer from the taxes
collected the past year has paid the
balance due in No. one township on
the bonded Indebtedness of the C. N.
& L. railroad and has left about $4,
800 to be applied on the loan from the
State Sinking Fund on account of the
Augusta, Edgefeld, and Newberry
railroad. This will leave about $10,-
900 due on this road. The original
bond issue for the c.. n. & L. in No.
one township was $4,000 and for the
Augusta, Edgefeld and Newberry
railroad $4,000
IN No. eight township the loan Of
the Sinking Fund was originally about
$4,000. Fifteen thousand dollars will
be applied to this Indebtedness this
year leaving about $4,000 still due.
The original bond issue for this. road
was 100000.
In No. nine township the original
issue for the C. N. & L. was $4,000
Two thousand dollars. has been paid
on that loan from the Sinking Fund
leaving due only about $1,000 in No.
nine township.
Under the act of 1913 providing
for the bond issue, special tax was
levied in each of the townships which
will not be levied this year.
The one-half mill which was levied
in No. one township for the C. N. & L.
bonds will also be taken off. In No.
nine township there will be no neces-
Sly for the railroad taxes. after this
year.
The following is the railroad tax
which vii be levied the coming year
in the three townships:
No. one, 1 1-2 mills; No. eight, 8
mills; No. nine 2 mills.
The adjustment Of this railroad in
debtedness III the twonships was made
through Mr.. Fred H. Dominick as at
torney and several acts passed by the
Legislature while Governor Blease was
State senator. 1t is really fortunate
for the three townships that some de-
feet was found in the act of 1913 pro-
viding for the bond issue for this in
debtedness, because within two or
three years the railroad debt of these
townships will be wiped out and there
will be no twenty year, bonds to be
paid with interest.

him. Where are you going, madame!

retorted, you are just as impertinent

a third porter and asked him il he could
tell her where her train was. She got
the same reply. and said, We'll. II You
must know I'm going to Paisley" The
porter directed her to the Paisley train.
and Just as 1t was leaving the Platform
she put her head out Of the window and
shouted: How do you feel when you've
