Through the Press Service of Agri-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds Of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as & noiBy thinker. and
breyity Is always q close companion
to truth.
It will be a great privilege to stand
by the side Of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone Of industry; to
associate with men who can look
ct the world and see to the bottom
Of 1t; to commune with men who can
hear the roar Of. civilization Q few
centuries away.

WHY is A CHAIN GANG?

Some years ago Senator Aldrich
stated that he could run the govern
ment of the United States at a sum
so much less than that being paid
that we fear to undertake to men
ton the amount-it was fabulous.
The same is true in a small way in
Abbeville county. The county con-
tinues to pay more and more taxes,
this and the other Office is created,
but we ask the people of the county,
where any real progress has been
made in twenty years except in the
building of the Court House.
A business man can reduce the
expenses of Abbeville county by
forty per cent. The roads a be
better worked, and. at a great deal
less cost The people had as well
realize that the county chain gang
with it's numerous bosses and guards,
must 60, or the county will be bank
rupt. The expenses of maintain
ing this institution 50 far out-meas-
ure. the visible results that a
thoughtful business man should
abandon the enterprise. It takes
too much money to guard these con-
victs, and too much to feed, clothe,
and maintain them; too much to
keep the organization going to make
it anything except a constant drain
upon the resources of this county.
At least half the time the roads are
not in condition to be worked; and
the convicts are idle in so far as
effective work is concerned.
But during this time the salaries OF
the guards and bosses, the meat
bills, and the bread bills; the feed
for stock. and other expenses, all
these, like interest. 60 on-go on
night and day and on Sundays.
Let us cut expenses. The time
has come in Abbevilfe county for
some measure of relief from the
burdens of taxation > The present
methods give and promise no results;
|let us try some other way of work
ing the public highways of the coun-
ty. We assert that the public high
ways of the county can.b worked
by the contract system at one half
the amount now spent by the county
for the purpose of working all the
roads of the. county, big, little and
cross-covntry, and, that the roads
will be worked better than they are
today. : - ~, - -. .
