THE CLEVELAND COURIER
Y r OL. XVII, No 42.1
Why 8ff. Q. Keith Is For Bonds.
“Come let us reason together,”
It is now only a few days until
the day for the bond election, and
1 respectfully ask all the voters of
White county to read and re-read
the following statement carefully
compiled in such a way that the
bond issue may be made plain to
all. This is for your interest and
the interest of everybody in White
connly.
The amount of taxable property
returned in White county for taxes
is approximately one million and a
half dollars—last year it was a few
thousand over this. The increase,
therefore, on a bond issue for $30,
000.00 would be sixteen cents on
each $100,00, and this for the first
year only. The amount of decrease
each year will be $1,045.00.
If the court-house is to be built
by direct taxation the man who
now pays, state and county tax,
$1.00 would be required to pay
$5.5°; where he pays $.10.00 he
would have to pay $35.00; where
he pays $50,00 the amount lie would
pay would be $175,00; and where
he pays $100.00 he would pay $350.
00.
Where a taxpayer now pays $1.
00 tax, under a bond issue for $30,
000.00-lie would have to pay $1.16,
whereas under a direct tax for this
amount he would have to pay $3.-
50, and if he was to loan $1.00 for
thirty years at 8 per cent his dollar
would draw $6.48 interest, or an
amount even greater than his pro¬
rata part paid in thirty years toward
the construction of the court-house.
Under a bond issue for
for a term of thirty years, a man
returning property to the amount
of $25.00 the increase in his taxes
would be only four cents; if he re¬
turned $50.00 worth of property
the increase would he eight cents;
on $too.oo it would be an increase
of 16 cents; $51x1.00 an increase
80 Cents; and on $1000.00 t he in¬
crease would be only $1.60, the
first year only, and the amount will
decrease in proportion each year
($^045.00) until the last year when
the last payment will be made will
be $1,045.00.

Enthusiasm Growing In Hardman’s
Ranks,
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 9.—Accord¬
ing to reports from all sections.
Dr. L- G. Hardman still leads the
governor’s race, and is steadily
gaining ground. Two years ago
he carried upward of sixty counties
and as indications are that he will
get nearly every one of these and
about thirty others besides this
time, his nomination is being pre¬
dicted on the first ballot. Dr, Hard¬
man is jubilant over the outlook, as
not only practically all his former
supporters, but great numbers of
new ones in many counties, are
rallying to his cause, and interest¬
ing themselves in his behalf with
more enthusiasm and zeal than ever
before..

THE BACKWOODS.
We spend our days in the backwoods,
The place of most all our youth,
Where many pleasures surround us,
We live happy—that’s the truth.
\\ e work while we sing in the backwoods,
For the pleasure of others—that’s true
But wish we had mail some nearer,
As many, many others do.
We sing while we work in the backwoods,
To cheer us on in this world,
And on at our business go rushing,
Producing gold dollars unfurled.
We smile and we play in the backwoods,
Though not at the long road we go,
To get our mail miles away,
But we’re not angry—that’s so.
We whistle while we plow in the backwoods,
And we pay our postages, too,
But nevertheless we’ve no service,
Like all the rest of you.
We pay our postage in backwoods,
To the carrier that is due,
But lie cannot give us service,
Now, all oT this is true.
But still we live in the backwoods,
And hope for much better times,
When we get mail as others^
To our homes by' rural lines.
We continue to build in the backwoods,
And wish better times did prevail,
That Uncle Sam might remember us,
And give us a closer mail.
Some day we’ll be free in the backwoods,
From all cares and sorrowsjfcf earth,
Then we’ll need no mail in the,backwoods,
No mail, nor nothingon earth.

LUMSDEN'S PLATFORM.
1 stand for the enforcement of
the law “with equal rights for all
and special privileges for none.”
I am opposed to the sale of the
State’s railroad.
'I’he counties that do not work
convicts should receive pay for
their convicts.
'Hie Solicitors General should be
paid a salary, and the money they
now collect and keep should be col¬
lected by the Clerks of the Super¬
ior Courts and turned into the coun¬
ty treasury. 1 introduced a bill to
this effect when I was in the senate.
Every legislature since then has had
a bill to put the solictors on a sal¬
ary.
The State should publish the
school books and furnish them to
the children free, or sell them at
actual cost. Corporations or in¬
dividuals should 110 longer be al¬
lowed to make fortunes out of the
public school funds.
Our people need protection from
the reckless automobile drivers who
act as if no one had any rights on
the public roads but themselves. I
am glad to say we have no such men
in our county that I know of; they
come through here from other coun¬
ties and we need strict laws to pro,
tect our people.
I am for all measures that will
build up our county and make our
people prosperous and happy.
I was born in White county and
have never lived anywhere else
since I was eighteen years old. All
the interests I have are in White
county and I feel that 1 am thor¬
oughly identified with the county
and its people.
In our local affairs I think if we
are to have a new court-house the
proper way to build it is by an is¬
sue of bonds.
According to the report of the
U. S. authorities some of the Na
tionalBanks have been charging the
people most enormous and unreason
able rates of interest for money.
The present legislature has passed
a law that is worse than no law. I
favor a strict law on this subject.
One that will compel the lenders of
money to take only legal interest.
I feel deeply grateful for what
people have done for me in the
past, and I earnestly ask them to
honor me one time more.
If I should be elected I will do
my best to carry out this platform.
1 will recognize the fact that I will
be a servant of the people to do
their will and carry out their wisb
I confidently ask the support of
all who agree with me.
1 would be glad to know if my
opponents .agree with me or not.
Respectfully,
J. R. LUMSDEN.
