THE. BOND ISSUE

will be impossible to make permanent
III of the roads in LaurenS County with
$300,00000, but you must remember
that with 200 miles of permanent
roads the chain gang and county road
department will have more time and
more money to spend on the roads not
made permanent. 1t will take some
money and some work to keep up these
permanent roads, but it has been fig
ured out that the biggest part of the
chain gang will be able to spend all
Of its time and most of the money
which is now appropriated for roads
on what you might call the less i'm
portant roads of the county and they
will be made as good or even better in
a short time than the best Of our pres
ent roads.
The next question that presents it.
self is, what will $300,000.00 cost the
We have figured it all out and as a
result we conclude, that in thirty-tivc
years an additional levy Of IA mills
will retire the bonds. \ 2 Ia addition
al levy will amount to $2.25 per ST.
10000 or in other words if a man has
property returned for taxation at
100000 his additional taxes will be
$2.25. If he returns property at $4,000
his additional taxes will be SLIP. If
he returns property at $4,000 his ad
ditional taxes will be about 22c and
SO on. SO YOU sec that the cost OF
these bonds to the average man is neg
ligiblc, taking into consideration the
vast benefit derived from permanent
roads. Good road statistics show that
a man living twenty miles from q
place that he makes an average OF one
trip month to, and travelling over bad
roads, can save in wear and tear
OF his stock, vehicle and time, going
and coming over good roads, five
times as much as the additional levy
that these bonds will cost him, based
on property assessed at 100000.
The next question and | think the
most important question OF the whole
proposition is, will the money derived
from tho sale Of these bonds be cX-
pended iudicioualy? The law authoriz-
ing this election provides that four
highway commissioners shall be ap-
pointed by the Governor on recon-
mcndation OF the county delegation, 10

TO the People OF Laurens County:

hS Suitol VI llllS pdpci IOS NLllulS
consented to allow nc space for a few
words in reference to an election
which will be held on March 27th, 1917
for the purpose Of deciding whether or
not Laurcns County is to issue $780,
10000 in bonds for the purpose OF
permanent road improvements.
In 1916 the Grccnville County dele
cation authorized the Grccnvillc Coun-
ny Board of Commissioners to issue
bonds in the sum Of $950,000.00; said
bonds to be sold and the proceeds used
in the building Of permanent roads
for Grcenvile County In 1917, the
Spartanburg delegation to the Gener-
al Assembly authorized the County
Board Of Commissioners for Spartan
burS County. to issue bonds in the sum
used for permanent road improve
ment. In 1917 Mccormick County del
cation authorized the County Board
OF commissioners to issue bonds in the
nci&hborhoOd Of about $$50,000.00 for
permanent road improvements The
Oconcc County dclcgation in 1917 au-
thoyizcd its County commissioners to
issue bonds in the sum OF about $780,
10000 for permanent road improve
mcNtS. You will note that the dclcga-
tons from these counties authorized
tho County Board of Commissioners to
issue the bonds without submitting the
question TO the voters OF their coun-
ties. The l.aurcns County delegation
and several other county dclcgations
in 1917, left the question Of issuing
bonds for permanent road improve
mcnts entirely to the qualified electors
OF their counties. SO the question as
to whether or not l.aurcns County
shall have permanent roads will be
ON March ~. 1917.
II has hocu said that S3O0.000.00
would not build enough roads to bcnc-

This series of articles-w we are glad TO an.
nounce-wil appear in the columns of this paper.
These articles contain the very information
needed in the wise selection of baking ingredi-
ents. They are educational in the extreme. They
point out purchasing and baking errors. They
lay hold of baking wastes and tell just how they
may be eliminated. They explain definitely how
to economic on baking expense and to produce
more wholesome bakings.
The housewife who reads these articles and
follows Miss Costello's advice, certainly will be-
come a better cook and effect a substantial saw.
ing in living costs.
Miss Costello talks TO you in terms of facts
founded on long experience that bear directly on
the choice and use of baking materials.
That Miss Costello is well qualified to treat
the subject intelligently and thoroughly there is
