SUPERVISOR KINk

Without any intention Of fiatIory,
we want to say that we do not believe
that Anderson county ever had bet
ter supervisor than the Hon. J. Mack
King.
Supervisor King Is now ordering q
great many of his supplies. such hs
shoes. clothing. flour. grain and meat
at wholesale prices. thus saving lhe
middle Inan's profit. which OF course
is big saving to tho county and for
which Mr.. King should be commend :
cd. /.
And since Supervisor King IL able
to borrow money for t.;c county ut
less than 3 '1-2 per cent intcrtrt. we
consider him strictly n business III. y.
and being business man we waula
like to have m expression from ln.;
on this bond question tfHt's nov asi-
tating the minds of the voters of thla
county.
We feel that we have the r,g;.. 10
know how our public officials stanI
on public questions. While wc ore
against the bonds, Supervisor King
may be for. them. Still, wy would not
fall out with him, since he las per-
feet right to his opinion. We lust
want to know how this good business
man looks at this bond question. We
hope Supervisor King Will. let us
hear from him both through The In
teiligencer and the Daily Mail as the
readers OF both papers up here are
anxious to know how he stands.

THE ROND ISSJ-E

wish to say few words to show
our friend, Mr. Casey. that we are
soul and body In favor OF what he has
10 say about the S750,0OO bond issue.
1t certainly Is enough 10 try mems
souls to have such n big scare-crow
placed before our eyes. 1t would he
very unwfse to think of putting such
a thing on the people at this time.

Who knows but what this nation
Will be plunged into war before this
year is out ana If so heavy war tax
placed on us and thousands Of men
called TO the front. Then the women
and children will haze all they can do
to keep the old wolf from the door
instead OF having to work and pay
that bond issue.
No we are not willing to be put
under bondage or bond issue which
ever you please to call II for 1t is one
and the same thing. For there is
plenty OF men now living who will
never see it paid and will therefore
die under BONDAGE lid 1t would be
unfair to the coming generation to
pay for the foolishhess that we would
allow to pass over our heads. This is
free nation, or clain:s 10 be, and we,
therefore. expect to vote as we please

able to pay all of their last years ac-

not will throw them another year be-

MORE ROAD TALK

A great many people OF this COM
munity are opposed to the proposed
bond Issue for road improvement
not because they do not need good
roads, but because of the method in
which 1t Is to be done.
Estimating that there are $4,000
road taxpayers in Anderson, county,
and that less than half of these own
any real estate, we can readily see
who will bear the burden OF this bond
issue. True, It will not be- unbearable
by the man who does happen to own
real estate, but unfairness is the
point at stake. DO you. MIR. Editor,
or any other fafr-minded person
think the industrious landowner
should build good roads for the less
industrious Of; both. races? Very few
negroes own any land; yet they travel
tho roads as much ms white people.
They may notst!o 30 much heavy haul
Ing as the larger white farmers, but
they will ride about. The only, feasi-
bio plan we ,sse out of 1.-The present
situation is, vcte down the bond. is-
sues then have our road tax raised to
S2 80 ts2 each, The :.ainterest on
the s750,000$ $att5 per cent. for forty
years will be sl,500,00O. This sounds
like big pile of money, hut listen!;
The extra 81 90, for road tax. should
1t be $3.50 Instead OF 81. 90. applied
only to permanent improvements
and paid by every tnx payer viii
amount to $960,000 dollars plus inter-
est This plan will not be unfair.
Every man pays the Same, regardless
OF his property owning. IA mans pro,
perty should have nothing to do with
this road taxing System. Every man
pays on dollar poll tax for schools.
They might as we'll pay 80 80 for
roads. a mans property may en-

BANKS on ANDERsON's
ROAD BONDS

The Record dislikcs to meddie in a
local affair in another part of the
state, but we have observed with
some disgust and not without dismay
the attitude OF some good men In An
derson county. on the proposition of
voting bonds for the Improvement of
the roads Of the county.
e-opposition comes from the
very men who would be helped-the
farmer with teams to rent during tho
summer months when his crops are
.l*id by. the farmer who would earn
a Bit himself. -
We fear. that politics Is getting In
to the proposition in Anderson, as II
would hae done in, Rdchland but for
the wisdom Of orr delegation. Go

and tie country undergoing the most
trying times il ever has would not
only he Il mistake bun perfect foolish
ness
Mr.. Editor. why did our delegation
not wait and come hack before iiie
people and see what their sentiment
was on thc matter. just as did about
our county court house. You rcmcin-
bcr the Anderson delegation WAS all
against me OH that, they wanted 10
vOt, IL fifty thousand dollar bond on
the county for a court house anu by
hard scrambling made them wait
and consult the 1Jters Of Anderson
county. and We learned that the pco-
pie were willing to vote tlirty-fivG
thousands dollars TO build Il court
hOuS" aud then VIC went back and
gave 1t 10 them. That has been ii
good while ago, and l suppose that
the debt OF this court house still
hangs over Anderson county, and if
SO. what could we do with Il million
dCilars, for that is what the bond
issue amounts to with the interest,
Tor more.)
We could not blame the city OF
Anderson for wanting smooth roads
running from all parts OF the county
into it's gorgeous clothing. hardware
and bargain stores, as 1t would tend
to draw all the trade from the small
er towns and they would gradually
perish away. Just AZ 1t iS around

know that is why we have as mani

OF us have tried to keep pace with
those who had money. a,nd it all
amounts to exactly the same thing
Just thin,. Of Anderson trying t.,

Now Mr.. Editor, you say il anyone
has q better plan to come forward
with 1t. Now don't you think II we
would take all the money that we
are going to pay all these highway
commissioners and all this interest
we are going to pay from time 70
time and by IA direct appropriation
give It to our supervisor that II,
forty years we will have better
system Of roads and be in better
financial condition. You remember
our supervisor promised to give us
some good roads II we would only
give him twenty thousand dollars,
and we could not see our way clear
to do 1t just now. And here you peo-
pie are asking that we give nearly
niii:!on dollars to a whole set os
men who have not promised us any
thing and are under no obligation.
to the people except as their pure
hearts or the megaphone OF your
chamber OF commerce dictates.
Now, Mr.. Editor. am going to
quit. The people of Anderson coun-
ty know that Josh Ashley has al
ways stood by them in all things, es-
lily the tax payers. That I have
always advocated economy and as
you will see I AM still doing II, and
1 want to ask that We ali go TO the
boxes when the time comes and vote
against this measure.
Yours very truly,
JOSH ASHLEY.
