THE BONDS AND THE COURT HOUSE

Rev B I Hull Mr Villalonga PSmith and John Roundabout of Reddick take a very pessimistic gloomy-and dismal view of things Theirprognostications make the lamenta¬

tions of Jeremiah appear inconspic ¬

uously commonplace-These gentlemen predict very dire ¬

ful things for Florida when her phos ¬

phate turpentine and lumber intereats shall have been exhausted

But there were Jeremiahs in NorthCarolina who were just as loud intheir lamentations some years ago

The same class of people in Northt Carolina predicted that after the tur-

pentine¬

interests were exhausted therethe lands would all revert to the

x state and the people would becomepoorer than poverty itself

But fortunately history does nocbear out these dismal forebodingsDuring the years of the turpentineindustry in North Carolina the averageprice of lands was not more than adollar and a half per acre Today

+ with the turpentine interests gonethe lands instead of reverting to thestate as worthless are now selling onan average of ten dollars an acreand North Carolina is enjoying themost prosperous period in its history-and the crokers have either gottenrich or moved away There is noth¬

ing there now but the hum of busyh

industry That portion of the statenot planted in cotton and tobacco isa network of peach orchards and vine ¬

yards and every acre of arable landwill bring a ready sale in theopen markets It is the most pros ¬

perous stare in the southWhen our turpentine phosphate-

and lumber industries are exhausted-let us hope that the history of NorthCarolina will be repeated in Florida

John Roundabout refers to the saleof the four million acres of landto Dlr Disstou for one million dollars-as a bad piece of business and says

3 that these lands today would beworth from twelve to fifteen milliondollars

Yet at the time of their sale theselands had been lying idle and hadyielded absolutely no revenue to thestate nor any individual thereofSince their sale they have beenplaced upon the tax books and haveannully yielded a revenue They havebeen penetrated by railroads citieshave sprung into existence and in ¬

deed from a waste and a wildernessthey have become the fairest andrichest part of the states domain

These gentlemen seem to thinkthere is an enmity existing against thefarmer andlike Ishmaelevery mans

4 hand is raised against him but whyshould this be Why should any manbe hostile to our farmers We think

I on the contrary that every mank wishes the farmer well and would

heartily rejoice in his prosperity be ¬

cause his prosperity would bringabout an universal era of good timesand good fellowship

RT These friends seem to argue that ifh

= we bond ourselves for fiftythousand-dollars that we get nothing in returnt Let us calmly consider this propo-

sition¬

We get fifty thousand dollars intv manlets us have the use of this sum of

money for a number of years oughtcertainly to receive in return somecompensation We are to pay only

Y4y

four per cent interest per annum I

The legal rate of interest is eight percent and we have hitherto been ac ¬

customed to pay ten and twelve percent and then these bonds are taxa ¬

ble and will yield a revenue to thestate in that way

When we receive this fifty thous ¬

and dollars we do not throw theminto the bottom of a well or into themiddle of the sea but put them into-

a building supposed to be worth valuereceived-

In addition to the stately buildingwhich is supposed to be like Keats

thing of beauty a joy foreverwe have also fifty thousand dollars

that have entered into the channels-

of trade and of which sum every-

man is supposed to have received h s-

mite and if he does not bury it asdid the sluggard told of in the bible

but on the contrary if he uses itwith any degree of thrift during theyears the bonds run it will will havemultiplied itself many fold

These friends also say a good dealabout the sinfulness of transmitting adebt to our children but in thisconnection it must be rememberedthat we transmit to them also a needful edifice and as they receive theprivileges and benefits accruing from

its use it is not a crime for them topay a part of its cost

Every grand jury that has met in

this county for a number of yearsrepresenting the body of the countyhave recommended an enlargement-of the court house and the countycommissioners are putting in prac ¬

tical form their recommendationsIf the voters of the county concur in

the recommendations of the grandjuries it is their duty to vote for theissue of bonds so that these recommendations pan be carried out ifthey do not concur with them it is

their duty to vote against the issuing-of bonds

Every voter of course is free tovote as he pleases No efforts atcoercion will be attempted
