should have first cqisideration and
should the money gife out before
reaching Anderson. ale issued tax
payers would still hafe the better or
the bargain, which pf course, they
are entitled to, judging from the
sympathy that's manifested for them.
Without regard as to- what the com"
missioners might do, sge want ali ex-
preston from you, mf, Editor, as to
the above idea.
Now don't take uA for an, f'ter-
rogation point, MIR. Editor, but can
you tell us how it ed happened that
this bond election waA Set within the
80 day limit. therebY disfranchising
many from voting silce they could

this month? Quite aHcoincident you
know. Let our legislative delega-
tion have this one BrbtlSer Smoak,
Gentlemen, will you please tell us,
while having SO much sympathy for
your Uncle Rube under his heavy
burden CT "taxatioif', why you
would have him lose IA day In going
after the voting boxes, then anoth-
er day as manager Af the election,
and still another day. In taking the
boxes back TO town, All without any
pay? Was this dont through eX-
citement, IL so, guess she commission
is glad that it got nkbefare the ex-
citement started.
We may be fbarkinh up the wrong
tree" still we believe that we are
on the right trail int believing that
you perhaps thouglA that Uncle
Rube being busy plfNRng, would not
lose three days from bis work with
out pay, aud there Being no Uncle
Rubes to manage thE election, tho
other Uncle Fubes cGsild not vote
hence the result. s
But Uncle Rube wa j be .dere with
the goods and help &ll the most
high-handed piece OF haerssz sREars
attempted to be pulled off In this
county, for since he worked last
year for nothing he will not kick on
working three days now without
any pay, no not in such crisis as
this.
We want to assure you. Mr..
Editor. that we fully agree with you
in what you had to say few days
ago against some people using false
statements in trying to get the other
fellow to vote with them on this bond
question. Believing that what's fair
for the goose Is also fair for the
gander. will you please tell us, MIR.
Editor, what you think of a leading
banker of Anderson standing up and
telling an old farmerthat the bond is
sue is alright and that 1t is all rivht
for him to vote for 1t and should 1t
be voted on, then all he would have
to do to escape the extra raise III

good roads built or reaching the
edge of his plantation Mr. Editor,
this Is an actual fact and If you want
the proof Il would tickle us to the
end OF our toes at having the pleas
ure of fnrnishing 1t. OF course, that
banker may have sense enough 90
run bank, but if that was his hon.
est opinion as to what that old farm
er. could do in this case. then he
hasn't enough common scuse, to pour
peas out Of bootleg without the
directions on the heel.
! Don't that banker know full we'll
! that the old farmer can no more
stop work on the public roads run
ming through his lands than jay
bird can stop the great European
war?
Mr.. Editor, we are living In an en-
lightened age. and at last the COM
mon people are catching on to this
rotten legislation. both State and
national, and W care we'll aware of
the fact. that ths purchaser of thes7
Anderson county bonds would, un-
der that reglnaf bank act, get clean,
clear cut rake off OF one hundred
and eighty seven thousand five hun
| dred dollars, OH no wonder the big
rich bond purchaser is inquiring af-
ter those GreedWllle county bonds
and assuring the people of, that
county that it will be no trouble GO,
float them. No wonder rich men are
through certain. channels trying To
get us TO vote bonds over oar heads.

make the rich richer and the poor
poorer,
