destruction Of property: AS it was,
fortunately, no one happened to be

that were loosed in some unexplained
manner. A few minutes before it
happened one Of the worknen, Chas.
Lille and customer, Henry Diepol-

a few feet of the tank and had they
not moved when they did it is certain
they might have suffered injuries if

Neayberrylsm In Michigan.

The final official figures Of the Mi
chigan primary election show crush
ing reputation of Newberryistn. The
total Newberry vote which was cast
for Townsend was 10000 against a
total anti-Newberry vote of 253,S16
divided between three candidates. The
democratic vote was only 23,794. The
farmer-labor vote which was cast for
Herbert F. Baker, a dirt. farmer, was
1926, or only 24,725 votes less than
Townsend received. This remarkable
vote taken in connection with the prac-
tical disappearance of the democratic
party indicates that rock-ribbed Mich
gao, like Wisconsin and Minnesota,
has begun to line up on the real demo
cractic front

Roads and Taxes.

We are reproducing from the Ander-
son Daily Mail its comments on what
The Yorkville Enquirer recently had to
say in regard to a state highway sys-
tenn.
There are few newspapers in South
Carolina for whose opinion The York
Vile Enquirer has more respect than ii
has for the Anderson Daily Mail; but
just as it appears that The Yorkville
Enquirer did not make itself exactly
clear in the paragraph reproduced in
The Mail, it is hardly conceivable that
The Mail would be satisfied to be judg-
ed as viewing the matter in the exact
light its remarks would suggest.
Certainly it will take taxes and more
taxes to build a state highway system
The Yorkville Enquirer does not want
to be understood as teaching other
wise. There is rarely such a thing as
getting something for nothing, and
when such a thing is so gotten it is
of very little account.
But the proposition that to an owner
who does not want to sell, it makes
very little difference, except for pur-
poses Of taxation, whether his farm is
valued at SIS an acre or $3.50 an acre,
is absolutely unsound.
We know of farms in York county,
plenty of them, which are mud bound
because of bad roads for two or three
months out of each year. Suppose
these farms were mud bound the whole
year, what would they be worth? and
what do they lose by being mud bound
two or three months out Of the year?
Whether they are for sale or not, would
they not be much more valuable to
their owners if loaded wagons, trucks,
or automobiles could go and come at
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-12-29
times? The question answers it

all times? The question answers it
self.
The people of this country got some
little idea of what an embargo on
freights meant to them. They got an
other taste during the recent strike OF
the railway shopmen. In neither case
was the lesson. as drastic as it might
have been if the tie-up had been more
complete. But in this connection just
think Of what a slowing up we suffer
locally each year by reason of impossi-
BILE highways! Surely no one is going
to argue that this slowing up does not
cost a great deal more than would be
necessary for the construction good
all they -year-round roads.
The Yorkville Enquirer believes that
it costs the people of South Carolina
great deal more to do without good
roads than it would cost to build them;
that we are now paying double road
tax without getting any benefit what
ever. 1t is difficult for any thinking
individual to believe the contrary,
much less prove it. OF course we can
not get the roads without paying FOR
them; but if we do pay for them we
will get the benefit. Then why not
build the roads and relieve ourselves
of the surplus taxes we are now pay
ing to no purpose
