South Carolinian is Pleased
With Prospect.
Among the visitors In Amerlcus on
Friday aws Col. E. W. Kbaugh, a
wealthy South Carolinian and large
land owner in Sumter, who came to
tako a look at Ms broad acre* below
Amerlcus, now verdant with beautiful
crops of corn and cotton. On bis farm
of 3,500 acres near Oobb Station, on
the Seaboard, Col. Ebaugh has nearly
one thousand acres In cotton which
promises well at thl* early stage. Thl*
large crop waa not damaged to any
extent by the cold snap two week*
ago, and Col. Ebaugh think* that
less than a half dozen acres will re
quire replanting. HI* crops of corn,
oats and other cereal* are fino
well. He Is likewise Interested In
fine peach o'ceard near Americas, and
the prospect there Is roseate as well.
Th« trie* are laden with fruit and
the yield will be 'mmenae. Col Ebaugh
went back to h's home yesterday, but
will return to Amerlcus with hls fam
ily early In June for a stay of sev
eral week on hls plantation.
Everybody in Sumtor county, out
side of the incorporated city limits,
who is over s xteen years of age and
under fifty, is subject to road duty
—or to the commutation tax for fail
ure to work the roads.
This will be news to those who are
between the ages of 16 and 21 years.
Heretofore only thoso between the
ages of 21 and 50 have been call J
upon to pay the road -tax of $1 or give
tie, service.
This, It appears, has*been entirely
an error, an unintentional error o.i
the part of the county commission
ers in past years, growing out of the
fact that they v.ere not properly post
ed on the state law.
They know now that the ago Hints
are 16 and' 50 years and everyone
coming within such conditions will b8
required from now on to comply with
the terms of the law.
While in Atlanta the county attot
ney took the opportunity to discuss
the matter with Attorney General John
C. Hart
The attorney general Informed bint
that there was no question that every
male citizen between 16 and 50 years
of age Is liable to road duty or tbo
commutation tax. The attorney gen
eral directed attention to two decis
ions of the Supreme Court of Ooorgia
that clearly covered tbe point and
settled that these were the age lim
itations.
Comr.y Attorney Maynard on hls re
turn to the city informed the cotnmls-
mlssloners and It Is now their duty
to see to It that every male over 16
and under 50 meets this obligation.
It is not known how many addi
tions this will make to the list of those
subject to tbe tax. As there is a large
negro population In the county, it is
probable that there are several hun
dred of them between 16 and 21 years
who have heretofore escaped, who
will now be called on for the work or
the money. A smaller numbor of
young white men will also bo summon
ed. ’
From now on the law will be rig
idly enforced. As but few prefer road
duty to paying the fax, the county
treasury will be enriched several dol
lars thereby.
