A vote against annexation means that Summerville must either remain a village, with its discomforts and dan gers and a gradual shrinkage in values to a village basis. It meams to do away with the hope of future improvements like the Bon Air and Partridge Inn and Country Club, and to make garden plots and cow pastures for all time of vil lage property. It also means to prevent the development of other garden spots and cow pastures into similar improvements for the future. The best chance lor an owner of a cow pasture to sell it for a new hotel site, is to make Summerville even more attractive and more popular and populous for the fu ture. To do this, it should have the best of streets, water, lights, sewerage, police and fire protection. A vote against annexation means to depreciate the value of your own property in Summerville and to add to your own taxes and assessments, or to do without conveni ences and comtorts that the future of Summerville de mand*. , DAILY AND SUNDAY $6.00 PER YEAR.
