THINKS AUDITING PROPERTY
OWNERS SHOULD PAY THE
INCREASED TAXES-DON'T
LIKE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE

Hermitage Farm, Lowndesville, S. C..
July goth, 1917.
Editor The Press and Banner:
Dear Sir:-I am very much inter-
asted in the issuing of the "$300,000
bonds," being, as a matter of course,
a believer in good roads.
If few roads are built in Able
vile county, they will, no doubt,
mean an improvement for it.
But, who will pay this cost? that
is, who will pay the increase of the
taxes resulting from the building of
the roads?
Would it not be fair for the pro-
perties abutting on the proposed
roads and destined to be their direct
and main beneficiaries to pay a
larger per centage of the increased
taxes than the properties lying out
side Of the roads?
1t seems to me that such an assess
ment, far from being in inequality,
would be but single justice and that
an understanding about the matter
should proceed the issue of the bonds

es will not hold services at their own
edifices, but will cooperate in this
movement for righteousness. Christ's
sermons resounded with fiery de-
nunciations of sin. The greatest
nurser of vice in modern times is
alcoholism. To strike it, and strike
it hard, and strike until it is gone
forever and backed by a sentiment
that will keep it gone, 81 one of the
supreme duties of the church of to-
day.
The anti-saloon league is nom
political. but altogether moral and
righteous. The efforts are for right
eousness. 1t has been the arm of the
church which has achieved a thou
sand times more towards the aboli-
ton of the saloon than all other
agencies combined. DR.. Claflin is
one of it's most famous and brilliant
exponents. Great treats await those
of our community who will throng
the opera and attend the mill mass
meeting. Farmers should make
special efforts to attend this meeting.
It is safe to say the opera house will
be crowded. Come early.

MORE MEDIUM FIGURES

The Abbeville Medium announced week be-
fore last that the two hundred and seventy-6ve
dollar expert would show the people of the coun-
ty in it's next issue that levy of four and one
half mills would repay the bonded indebted
ness and interest in twenty years; that the fig
ures had been passed upon by banker, and
found correct. We have been waiting for the
figures. We presume that they are afraid to give
them to the public, so we have decided to show
the people of the county that they do not know
what they are talking about.
The taxable property of A,beville county is
returned at little more than four millions,
seven hundred thousand dollars, but the auditor
and treasurer will tell you that there are always
with the best bookkeeping, double entries and
property on which taxes are not collected, re-
sulting each year in nulla bonas. They will tell
you that if we collect on the four millions seven
hundred thousand dollars, we will clio well.
A tax levy of four and one-half mills on this
amount will yield annually $21 $50. If we want
to find out whether payment of this amount
will retire the bonded indebtedness of 100000,
interest in twenty years, we have only
to work the matter out according to the rule of
partial payments, obtaining the interest on each
years balance at IL per cent. and subtracting
the annual payments of $21, $50. Starting with
the 100000 here are the figures:
