IN the less dramatic but not less es-
sential field of taxation Republican
thought is vainly trying to express it
self now in legislation, and the leaders
of the party ask for the control OF the
next Congress SO that the war revenue
bills of the future may lack some of the
inequitable features of the war reve-
gress. Republicans say that if they

mfsinformed about the meeting with
only one present. There has been
no such meeting held; probably she
refers to O meeting at Dalzell on
Thursday before Christmas when
there were three present. This meet
ing was held on the first clear day
after q prolonged spell of bad wealth =
err. Some Of the ladies had gone to
town to do belated Christmas shop
ping. II the correspondent has work
ed in rural schools, she probably has
taught some days when only a hand
full Of pupils were present. 1 went
into school room not long before
Christmas and only four pupils were
present, when the enrolment was be-
tween twenty-five and thirty. I was
told that at Red Cross meetings in a
rural community the attendance runs
from four to six. Must the schools
and Red Cross meetings be discon-
tinued on account of lack Of interest
shown? Why did not your corre-
spondent tell Of home demonstration
meetings with seventeen, twenty
three, thirty. efghty-two or five hun
dred present? Such attendance has
been secured. She should inform
herself and tell not only the bad
nOints hut tho pOOd also holfovo in
giving every one a fair deal.

ooiunhs 10 express my opinion.
1t seems to me this work is a use
less expense to the county. AS un
derstand 1t. in order to continue tn,
work the money will have to. be rails
ed by further taxation. The peopl.
are already burdened with taxes. ant
there Is no telling what 1t will be be-
fore this war is over. I fail to SET
where we get 1880 worth of goot
out Of the work.
How much interest do the people
take In II? At q meeting recently
there was only one lady present. The
people are not interested enough to
attend the demonstrations. When
they do go. It's from a sense of duty
and not that they feel they are being
benefited.
understand that one OF the agents
at a recent meeting had the children
to sign a petition for the work to be
continued. Children indeed! Why
didn't she present the petition to the
ones who have to pay for this work
IL this work were being carried on
In mill towns or among the ignorant
and ureducated. 1t would be a differ
ent thing. but to be going among in,
teiligent and enlightened people, who
are capable of doing their own can.
ming without the aid of an agent is
perfectly absurd. Even the negroes
or a number OF them, canned their
fruits and vegetables last summer and
1 am quite sure they had no demon
stration agent to show them how to
do II.
This work Is supposed to be done
by the girls who are members of the
various clubs, but 1 have heard a
number OF mothers complain that
they have the bulk of the work to
do and the children get the credit.
Not only that. but a great part of
this work falls on the rural teacher
whose salary Is very small, compar-
eel with what the demonstration
agents receive. i have taught in the
rural schools and know whereof /
speak.
am quite sure II this matter were
brought before the voters the work
would be voted out. I have talked
with number and the concensus of
opinion Is that its a useless expense.

THE SANTEE BRIDGE.
How the Proposition Will be Financ.
cd and How it Will Directly Benefit
Sumter County.

Editor Item
In reference to the proposed bridges
over the Santee River. the situation.
as l understand it, is that the work
can be started shortly if the people of
the various interested counties express
their approval, and the necessary leg
isiation is enacted. The plan, I am
toid' is for the bridges to be built by
FUNDS, one-half OF which will be fur
nished by the federal government if
the counties affected furnish the rest
FOR each county to supply it's quota a
ieglslative act must be passed turning
back to the State Highway Commits
sion thirty per cent or thereabouts. Of
the fees now paid the counties by the
Commission from the sale of auto H.
censes in each county; that is. a
county now gets eighty per cent of
these proceeds, and under the con-
templated plan, for five years, the
counties will get fifty per cent. The
balance will pay for the two steel
bridges to be erected by the federal
government, by it's expert engineers
and workmen. If the act is passed
the work will proceed.
Under the contemplated plan l see
great commercial advantages that will
come to Sumter. The upper bridge is
to be at point five miles from st.
Paul, about twenty-five miles from
Sumter. This will make Sumter the
chief point on the route to Charles
ton from the center block of eastern
counties. To travel that route the
people Of York. Chester, Lancaster,
Kershaw, Fairfield, Chesterfield, Da-.
lington, Lee and the eastern parts of
Richland will all pass through Sum
ter on their way down. Sumter will
thus be not only larger seller Of auto
supplies but it will be a greater shop
ping point, for it is by far the larg-
est city in the section named. The
building Of the bridge, moreover, will
mean the betterment Of roads leading
in this direction, 30 that there will be
much more travel to Sumter Itself
from the section named above than
will be brought about in any other
way. The building Of this bridge. too.
will mean that the rich western part
Of the State, now cut Off from us, will
be open to Sumter, and here again
Sumter will benefit as we are a larger
community than any place there. The
Pinckney Ferry bridge, free and ac-
cessible at all times. will give the peo-
pie Of Orangeburg and Calhoun q
short open road to our city. Berkeley.
Colleton and Dorchester will be an
easy auto trip from us, and Bamberg
and Barnwell will be closer to Sum-
ter than they will to Charleston.
Charleston too will be brought closer
to US than it now is, as the distance,
I understand. will be 81 road miles
instead Of the SO rail miles.
