The question which will con¬
front the people of White county
the first Saturday in August, that
of voting for or against bonds to
build a court-house, is one which
we urge every voter to thoroughly
investigate and consider from every
angle, and it would be well for him
not to arrive at any conclusion un¬
til all the facts are before him, and
he has ample time to consider his
own interests, the interests of his
sons and daughters, and the inter¬
est of White county.
The only thing that any good
citizen can desire to do is to vote
in the interest of White county, the
county in which he, perhaps, was
horn, has become a part of, and
which sustains his existence to-day.
This being true, then, how could it
he possible for any person who has
even a small part of personal pride
and honor in him to act ■ detrimen¬
tal to the success and glory of his
beloved county.
The first question, one which has
been under consideration for many
years, was, “Does White county
need and can it afford a new court¬
house?” The county commission¬
ers have so decided, and our inter¬
ests are their interests, and
there can be no difference be¬
tween the county' commissioners
and the people in this respect, and
they have the authority to decide
and is their duty to decide such
questions for us.
It is not a question of whether
we shall have a new court-house,
but how shall we raise the money
to build it? The county now raises
annually approximately $j3,000.00
state and county taxes, and to raise
an additional (yOjeQQ'.oo by direct
taxation would increase the taxes
about three and an half times. For
instance, if a persons tuxes now
were $10,00 on property is would
he increased by direct taxation to
about $35.00.
On the other hand, if we vote for
bonds, the increase would he for
the first year, over the $12,000 now
raised, only $2,350.00, which is
nearly one-fifth increase. That is
to say,if your taxes are now $10.00
(we use $10.00 just for an illustra¬
tion) they' would be increased the
first year to nearly $12.00,and each
year thereafter there would be a
decrease (or a falling off in the
amount) in proportion to the
amount paid off (which will be
$1,000,00 each year and interest
upon the whole amount unpaid)
and the increase in taxable proper¬
ty in the county.
Again, if a person have no pro¬
perty in White county upon tax
return day of the year taxes are to
he levied to raise the whole amount
(in case of direct taxation) they
would pay nothing toward the con¬
struction of the new court-house.
Hut if the court-house is built by
# bonds, and a person possesses pro¬
perty in the county within the en¬
suing thirty years, then he contri¬
butes to tiie construction of the
property he will derive more bene¬
fit from than those upon whom the
burden would now fall upon
direct taxation. We all know that
no man or woman, son or
of real worth wants something
nothing.
Our jail was built by direct
tion. Do you remember that?
do, and we suppose that every
tax payer in the county at
time remembers it, and
it as well as we do. A hard
wasn’t it ?
How much have any of
wealthly ones coming into
midst since that time paid
taxation to its construction?
ing. Then, instead of saving
children of a burden, we have
dened ourselves unnecessarily
save others more able to pay
Ihat many of us were, and who
joy as much benefit from it as
of us do. In other words, we
expended money for these people,
(and we don’t regret they are with
us by any means, for they' have
been worth much to the county)
but if we had so prepared the way
for them they would have been
worth just that much more, and
they would never have known the
difference, and we would have been
better off to-day by just that much
money to our credit with what we
could nave made out of it by it*
use.
Can’t you see the point?
Through development the pro¬
perty valuation in White county
has nearly doubled since the jail
was built, and the tax valuation
increases every year, not only
through accumulation by those now
residents of White county, but
through the continual stream of
investors in White county proper¬
ty. Of this latter class, especially,
will the future see more than the
past, for America is to-day the
richest nation in the world, and
when those who are possessed wjtli
millions and millions seek the
South for a field of investment,
which is a natural consequence in
in the near future, the whole South
will bloom and blossom as never
before.

and the citizens of Cleveland are
delighted to have him in their

Born to Mr. and Mrs. \V. H.
Bell, a son. Mr. Bell is a happy
man, and lie and lus wife have de¬
cided to name the baby Rev. John
Herbert Crow Bell. The people
upon the Cleveland circuit will
remember one of their former
pastor’s was named John M. Crow,
whom they thought a great deal of.
and who. really, was entitled to a
great deal of good opinion by the
better class of citizens, for Mr.
Crow was a good, clean, square
cut man in his talk and in his work,
as well as in his conversation by
the fireside. We hope that the
little one at the home of Mr. Bell
will grow to be as good a man as
the man whom he was named after
is in the estimation of his father
and others inWhite county. It was
Rev. Crow who enrolled Mr. Bell’s
name in the church book at Cleve¬
land Methodist church. It is pleas¬
ing. also, to learn that Mr. Crow
would like to be again in
county after his work in the minis¬
try is finished. It is evidence that
he thinks well of the people
White county and this mountain
region.
