KOMK I MWRDONAHLK
MIMIN FORMATION.
Il I? expected perhaps Unit lhere
lia ll he all I-in ii:, of minoru as to Hie
proposed hond Issue und Ils provis
ions. For this lesson we have pub
lished the law as lt was finally passed
and upnroved hy the governor. The
man who does not read any news
paper and hun to take his information
from common talk Is likely to get a
very hazy Idea of the proposition, und
lt would bo well for the road com
mission to have a number of pamphlets
printed giving the exact wording of
tim luw und some more data on the
laxes, und the methods to he employ
ed to rnlse the money with which to
pay tho Interest and provide the sink
ing fund called for In the act.
For instance, we have hoon told
that tho opinion seems to prevail that
every man .will have to pay an addi
tional road tax of $3 whether ho owns
any property or not. This ls not true,
for the man who pays .the tax is the
man who owns the property. If Mr.
Ai- returns for taxation, as many of
oUr citizens do, only a few dollars for
household goods-say $20-then his
tax would be Increased one cent for
every three and one-third dollars on
which ho pays taxes. If Mr. A .j payB
on 920 hts taxcB will bc six cents more
each year. If he pays on $100 lils tax
would hy thirty cents more each year.
If he pays OP $500 hts tax- would bc
$1.50 each yea . If he pays on $1,000
his tax would be $3 moro each year.
So it Is the roan1 with the property
who will pay the taxes.
We have shown that thc peop:o of
thc cities and towns, the corporations,
railroads, etc.. pay 70 per cent of all
thc taxes of the county, and that thc
people of thc rural districts will pay
only 30 per cent of all the taxes. So
thc argument that ls being used that
the farmers will bear the burden of
the, taxes ror the bond issue ls not
true. He will besr approximately 30
per cent of tho burden, and the other
Interests of tho county will bear the
rest. In other words the taxes might
be represented by a log ten feet long,
the farmer will carry 3 feet of It and
the other Interests of the county will
carry 7 feet. What we fail to under
stand ls that there should be any op
position at all In the rural districts
an any such proposition. ?
Union County ls going to havo eu
election on a bond Issue of $200,000
Just a week after the election tn An
derson County, and. Editor Rico bf the
Union Times says;
Now, human nature ls very human.
Don't you find it so. brother? And
are we not all very much alike? I
believe so. Let us get down to brass
tacks. Let's take things as they are.
Will this bond Issue hurt tho poor
man? I ara going to put myself
m the shoes of the poor mah.
(Strange to nay the shoes flt very
./ell, too.) Let's say I am a very
very poor man. right down at the
bottom. (Truth Is, I am mighty nigh
right there.) Well, Rico, very poor
mon, what objection to the bond la
sue? Why, none; I am selfish
enough to be willing ?.o let the prop
erty owners build tho roads'. I am
glad to have them build them. I
want good roads - even tor walking i
purposes, to say. nothing of the oc
casional uso I may have for them
for riding purposes. I will have lit
tle of tho taxes to pay. I will'have I
. as mud. r.?M to use the road as will
the ten thousand ?ollar automobile
man have to' use lt. In fact more
\ right, for If ihe automobile gives me
any "sass," I will go to the courts and
i I will stand a better chance to win.
for I am tn the majority. More than
i that, I'll get some of the $200.000 of
j the money that will he turned loose
for labor; for, being a very poor man.
I moat be a laboring man. Yes, Rice,
the vory poor man will, ii he usos
shrewd Judgment, vote for bonds for
good roads. He would act with poor
Judgment if he did not for selfish
Again, let's put on the shoes of
?ho great middle class, not very poor;
not very rich-Just In reasonably
good circumstances. (Whether the
shoes flt or not, let's suppose they
do.) Well, Rice, the moderately clr
cumatenced man. owns a small farm;
or, a amall merchandise establish
ment v>r s ''one-horse" newspaper
(In dobt o; out); or. n amall dalry: or,
amall truck farm; or, a beef market;
or, a chicken farm-never mind which
-whatever lt la Rice owns, assessed
at about $1,000, and worthless* or
three times that. Now, from ? selfish
standpoint: Does Rice, the moderate
ly circumstanced man have any kick
agatast the bond issne? Not on your
lltcl He would be kicking against
fortune. In the first place lt will nt*
coat me over Ix por year. I've got
no "kick coming," for lt will put more,
than that in my pocket every year.
How? Why. when I hauled the pro
ducts from 'my farm to market, when
I get more people to come to my store,
when I get 'more tl subscriptions,
when I find bette roads to drive my
dalry wagon over, when I bring my
vegetables to town in a buggy with
one mule (Instead ot using a wagon
and two mules), when I go out after
cattle to furnlah beef In my market,
when I fetch eggs to town; why no
matter who 1 sm. or whit my activi
ties, hoing a moderately well-off in
dividual. I wUl get more than lt will
cost me. Yow can Just put lt In your
pipe and smoke lt. I am for good
roads Yes, ay! I nm for good roads.
Well. I will now put on another
pair ot shoes: I, Rice, am e rich man,
(atas! the ahoe does not flt, but I'll
wear lt for argument's sake, any
*T?y). (?Cv tua riv., wau, fruit htnVvj
you to say? Do yon find any selfish
reason for voting for bond ti for
good roads? Lets sec. 1 will not live
very long. If I leave a fortune, leave
it i muHt, or I must spend some, If
I am t.) get any personal pleasure out
of it. .Ves, I am willing to be taxed to
get the roads. I get moro real pleas
ure ?jut of a good auto splu than any
thing I think of. (Excuse me, the
auto lu sort of new to me-I am rich
only in imagination.) I like to hear
the hum of the engine. I like the sen
sation of the drive up hill un'1 down
hill ifs tine. (I did no? know how
good lt was until I got on the rich
shoes ?. Fine lt ls-yes. I, Rice the
rich man, will vote for bonds. I am
sottish enough to want sonin benefit
from the money I have accumulated.
I um also selfish enough to feel that
if I leave my children all my wealth!
they should help pay for these good
roads. Yes, I feel that to be about
right. I am middle-aged; soon will
not need good roads. If I were going
to live always, I'd be willing, for
Hellish reasons, to pay. the 'whole
thing. I'd hate to think ? had always
lo live and yet had no way to get de
liverance from the mud. Yes, I will
for selfish reasons, vote -for bonds.
Moreover. I often have business trips
to neighboring towns and cities. I
find H will i.<ay nie and be a great con
venience to me, as well, to have good
roads for quick automobile trips.
THIS FHA (TICE SHOULD STOP.
Wc do not know the new Federal
Judge. Hon. Joseph T. Johnson, and
he doubtless is ? man well fitted for
the position to which he hae been
selected. But we do not approve of
the practice of creating p.C-?,!t?2!*,i and
filling thom from the creating power.
There hat been entirely too much of
this kind of thing tn South Carolina
politics, and there should be a stop
put to.it. lt is not right for positions
to bo crcatcu ?nd then filled by those
creating thc position from their own
number. Had there been no attorney
in tho district capable of filling ?be
position but Mr. Johnson, then we
would have nothing to say. But he
has been honored as few men have
been and had been elevated tc thc
high position of congressman, not for
thc purpose of having himself elected
to a judgeship, for which he has been
working several terms of congress, we
understand, but ho wau olectcd to rep
resent lils district tn congress. He
should have stuck to his Job till re
tired by the people who put him there,
or till his term was out and he vol
untarily retired. It would be well'for
there to bc some Iron clad laws pre
venting Just this thing whether or
not lt be attempted In the State or In
the nation.
CITY BOND ISSUE CERTAIN.
That the bond !>ssue will carry In the
city on tho 15th Inst, la a foregone
conclusion, and If those who know
anything about the views of those reg
istering, it ls all over but the shouting.
We feel sure that those Interested
enough to register, will maintain that
interest till they have deposited their
ballot in the e.ectlon box on the day
of the election. Many an election bas
been lost because of indifference, and
we trust that there shall be none of
thia In Anderson. It is a good rule,
alco not to count you" chickens be
fore they are hatched, and the votes
for the bond Issue will not count till
they are voted and counted. Thi In
telligencer urgea every holder ot a
certificate not to forget the dsy and
not to^put oft voting.
PULL DOWN OR BUILD UPI
The editor of tho Spartanburg Her
ald has been ruminating on the ef
forts of some people to tear down
rather than to build up, and he has
the following very well' Ihought out
arguments to present as to why one
should not attempt to pull down thc
efforts ot those who are trying to build
up:
It hos been satd several times re
cently In our presence that there ls
developing as a characteristic of Un
people of Spsrtanburg a disposition
to pull down ' her Utan to build np
Thu ls nfi not to our material
progress, bu,, to the community atti
tude toward individuals. Lack of loy
alty ia what they term lt, and they
add that it is growing into a commun
ity trait. Instances are mentioned
In which the people ot the city hilra
failed to sppreclate ability of especlsl
aptness shown by persons for a*given
work, done In their midst. Instead
of rewarding merit, it ls said we re
ject lt. find fsnlt with the Individual
showing lt, and In due time Ute said
individual mov?a on.
It 's written tlfrt. Unto him that
hath shall be given. But tn Spar
tanburg there is a du\iosition to pall
down and take away ff jm him even
tbs*, hath that which he gives promise
of having. If we are going to have a
grce etty and exert an influence in
the upbuilding of South Carotina, we
must have individ?ala who have suc
ceeded and who are In position to
render their community service of the
highest sort.
' The man who has lt In him to suc
ceed does not respond In sn atmos
phere ot that sort. He either suecoeds
In spite of opposition and becomes,
year by year, nj ore and more ont of
sympathy with his surrounding, or
he moves'on to more hopeful, en
couraging and inspiring company.
The best way to kill any community
ls to establish a hsbit of pulling down
every man who begins to do laings or
shows any disposition to do things
worth while.

?4.127,899 IN ROADS
New York State Has Appropriat
ed $1,000,000,000 for Im
proved Highways
,_\
In 1911 Georgia road building by
counties and convict labor furnished
by the State, in dol?an; anrounted to
$4,127,899. The average cost per mile
of public roads was $49.15, or $1.58
per Inhabitant.
Georgia han no highway commis
sion or State engineer, nor docs the
State directly engage in road con
struction except to furnish the State
convicts. In 1911, 4,744 convicts were
employed in road construction work.
The State, however, has what ls
known as an advisory board of the
Geological Survey, composed of_ the
elective officers of the State und a
Geologist Department in charge of a
State Geologist Thts department col
lects statistical Information relative
io the public roads and highways of
the State.
The 1912 report, the last available,
shows that out of a public road mile
age in Georgia of 83,896, there have
within the last few jtiars been built
r.cven miles of shell, thirty-five miles
of macadam, 235 miles of roads sur
faced with gravel and chert and 4,
077 miles surfaced, with sand-clay
mixtures. .
Nevada has no highway department
and contributes nothing toward the
building of roads. In 191? the legis
lature appropriated $20,000 for read
work to be done by convict labor and
a road was built between Carson City,
the capital, and Reno, li 1913 too
legislature appropriated $60,000 to be
used in the construction of 1.100 miles
of "good roads," but Governor Oddie
vetoed it - because the appropriation
was so utterly insufficient to construct
the mileage of roads tho legislature
had in contemplation, although road
building in Nevada Is matfo relatively
cheap by the reason of the natural
climatic and soil conditions. ?
Annual Automobile Tax.
West Virginia h~" contracted no
roads from Sta'e funds calv. In 1909
the legislature created a state road
department and made ? levy of 1 cent
per $100 valuation. Political condi
tions changed and the following ses
sion of \he legislature abolished the
law and prorated the money raised tty
the tax to the virious count'es, creat
ing a State road bureau and chief road
a State road bureau and chief road
engineer under the control of the
State University, which bureau has
advisory authority over j all public
roads within the State. An annual
automobile tax of $10 ls collected.
Permanent road building materials
used jin West Virginia is brick, con
crete, tarvla, bituminous, penetration
macadam, bitullthic and water-bound
macadam. The latter is most univer
sally used there on account ot its
ranging from only $60 to $3,000 per
mlle.
New York State originally begun
Its direct road work by the creation
of a highway commission v>f three,
and providing for a bond issue of $50,
000,000 to be used in road construction.
In 1919 the legislature abolished the
three-headed commission and substi
tuted In its place a single commission
er, and provided plans for the direct
appropriation of another $50.000.000 to
be used In further construction of
highways, making a total thus far
provided of a round $1.000,000,000, all
ot which has not yet been spent -
he newer New, York har divided
the State Into nine divisions and ,
pisces s division engineer in active
supervision of the work and main
tenance In each division.
New York's Plan of Operation.
Highways are classified as "State
Highways." being those constructed
solely at State expense; ''county, high
ways," constructed Jolrtly hy 'state,
county 'and town; "town highways,"
constructed by the towns with tho aid
of the State. The highway commis
B'oner receives a salary of $10,000
per year. The first deputy receives
56,000, tho second and third deputies
$5,000 each. Other employes receive
correspondingly proportionate com
pensation. The nine division engi
neers each receive $4.000 per aannm.
The law requires the appointment ot
a county roed BU pei tn tendent, and
also a town supcrlutenUmt of. high
ways. Thc du'.tes ot these officers
are to supervise and maintain the
roads, highways and streets, bridges
and culverts within their respective
jurisdictions.
The State lb building a system ot
cardinal tr?nk line and market roads
at Its own expense. It contribute? to
the building of road? by the counties
and towns based upon assessable
vaines per mlle of road. ? The law else
provides for the us? of convicts and
prison tabor.
The first deputy commissioner ts

second of maintenance and repairs, j
the third ot town highways. .

tem of primary State roads of 5,000
miles and about 30,000 miles of coun
ty roads. She has neither made direkt
appropriation nor issued bonds for
road work, but at the time of her ad
mission to the union by congressional
grant, 500,000 acres of land became I
public property, the proceeds of which
were to be used in Internai improve
ments, and tho income from thc sale |
and rental of these lands is being ex
pended by the State highways com
missioner for permanent road im
provement. By a State aid plan she
contributed to each county an amount
equal to that expended by the county
on what are classed "secondary
roads," primary roads being a part of
the 5,000 miles State highway system
and first to be Improved.
Tho highway department 1B in
charge of a State highway commis
sioner and an advisory board, or com
mission, of five members, one from
each o' five districts of the State. The
quite usual specifications, rules and
regulations as to authority over pub
lic roads is in effect. There is an
automobile a--' motorcycle license fee
based upon horsepower, running from
a minimum of $2,60 up. The commis
sioner receives an annual compensa
tion of 13,000 and serves for four
years. The secretary of the advisory
board must be a civil engineer and
receives $2,000. Tho advisory board
receive no compensation, except trav
eling and other expense while attend
ing to duties of of lice. Better results
might be expected,- however, should
the board be paid per diem and ex
pense. The State expended about
$600,000 in 1913 for road improve
ment.
Ic the "(Md Dominion/'
Tho Old Dominion State, by legisla,
tlve appropriation from -he general
funds, act s aside approximately half j
million dollars annually for the
construction of public highways. The
roads are built on a county aid plan,
whereby the county ls required to
expend an amount equal to that con
tributed by the State. Convicts are
worked on the roads and $145,000 per
annum ls approprief id 'or the main
tenance of the Stito < nvlct board
force. Sixty Ou v. ind dollars per)
year is required di ?in Uie Vir
ginia State high wa; department, at
the bead of which <s n State high
way commissioner, appointed by the!
governor .for a six-year term. The
remaining three Dvmbors of the com
mission are deans of.the engineering
departments of the University of Vir
ginia, Virginia Military Institute and
Virginia A. ft M. College.
Their highway department was or
ganized in 1906. Since that time tbe
State has pald'one-half the expense of
construction ot 2,916 miles of bard
Burface road and 170 bridges. Of
this 855 miles of road and 90 bridges
have been built during 1914. The
State receives from a license^ tax on
automobiles, about $115,000 per an
num, which now goes Into construc
tion work, but which ls to be shortly
set aside for maintenance work.

ward continuously, but the progress
is In the Interplay of characters upon
each other.
Now the great difficulty In a picture
of ' this kind Is lu making lt com
prehensible without overloading it
with sub-titles. Thia difficulty hhs
been met and overcome by casting In
the several parts players of rare in
telligence ' and grasp, who never fall
to make the spectator understand
their reelings and the thoughts, and
yet can\nevei? express them by word
of mooth. When the whole power of
the plr > Iles In the emotional clash ot
characters the highest order or His
trionic ability is required to reveal
this on the screen.
Bot not a point is missed, and the
credit for the achievement belongs
to the players. First and foremost ls
Henrietta Crosman, who makes her
initial appearance in pictures. But

On Whitner St near' new opera house
her long experience as an emotional
actress fist her eminently to delineate
tho Car?cter of tbe wife who ls di
vorced and comes back to see the
daughter that has been taken away
from her.
Shu is really superb in the quiet re
straint and the calm, dlgtolty with
wh'.ch she plays a part that lesser
actress would heve been sorely tempt
ed to clothe with fierce and fiery out
bursts of indignation and tears of
righteous sorrow. But Miss Cross
man's understanding is top fine to
give vent to suth melodramatic meth
ods,' and she ls justified because she
succeeds In making tho character per
fectly intelligible.
Following Miss Crosman's lead, the
other players are always carefully re
strained, -never violent or stormy,
even In the most tense and dramatic
moments of the'play.
In fact the play moves with this
quiet dignity that ls ' entirely at va
riance with the feelings ot Ute char
acters, and yet is entirely in keeping
with the air of good breeding that
pervades " the home: from which the
first wife ls forced by the actions ot
a' loveless husband._
