One day last fall, while waiting for a
train, q man from Antreville came to me
and asked about the Harrison Place on the
river-if it was worth S14.00 an acre. I re-
piled, "Yes, any land in that section Is
worth that much" He said, eyes, il 1t
stays in Abbeville County I will give him
that much for it, but if the new county Is
formed I would not give $500 for it."
Now, Mr.. Voter, does that look like a new
county will put up your land? No, for
people will not come in and invest their
money, confiscatory taxes staring them in
the face. There will be the added expense
Of transferring the records. Who is going
to pay the bill Now, you know how 1t Is
about prediction promises, and you will
have all these bills to pay.
Do not let the sop Of being near the
courthouse fool you in voting for it; as
what does it cost you to go to the court
house now ? and what would be the differ
ence in taxes? If you are summonsed
there as a juror or witness, you are paid
mileage and per diem, and you can pay
taxes by mail,-so that argument OF the
advocates for a new county falls down.
So, Mr.. Voter, look to your interests and
vote against the proposition, and do not
sell your birthright for a mess Of pot
tage"-for you know what prediction
promises are worth, and you will have to
pay the bills.
Respectfully,
CITIZEN.
