: EplToRs EDGEF1ELD ADVERTISER:
Since great deal his betn- said re.
Gently through the pspersiu regard
to working of the public highways,
you will please allow me space sal.
6cient for a short letter.
A. correspondent of one of the
newspapers last week, asked the qpes
| ton, whose fault is it that the roads
| are are not worked? He answers the
question by saying: the white pee.
pie who live .sleng the roads. This
[siato1a,grest extent true, but not.en-
l.tirely 80, The white people who live
talopg the roads are to blame for not
making an honest effort to work
them. The County Commissioners
.are.to blame ior not prosecuting the
supervisors. The Supervisors are to-
blame for not forcing the :overseers to
call out hands and work IL days in
| each year.. The: overeeers are to
blame for not making the hands as
sgned to them work the IL days.
And the people, those who live along.
the different roads, and those who
SIT on .juriea, are to blame for not sus
tanning the overseers in their Efforts.
The oVerseeis, i believe, though, are
mainly in fault, They ehould work
10 days year, and should have some
rule or system Of working. In most
places road working is only farce
and frolic. No work Of any conse
quence is done. Hands come to the
road at nine, ten and may be II
o'clock-laugh and talk three or four
hours at noon, and 60 home an hour
Or two Before light. For this the
overseers are alone responsible. I'm
der the law an overseer has just as
much authority as be wants. If the
hands fail to appear and work, or ii
they refuse to work under instruction,
the law makes it misdetneanor and
they may be punished for so doing.
I know full well that road overseer
ship is an ungrateful Office, but we
certainly have honest and public
spirited men enough in the country
to accept the position, and discharge
their duty. 1t is some trouble. of
course to return hands, aud very
discouraging to try to work road
when number Of hands try to avoid
road service through:a doctors certi6.
cate, and those who occupy the jury
bench do not sustain the overseer
but nevertheless it must be done, or
our roads are gone to the devil. In.
dead they are not far from it now. /
am an overseer myself, and l expect
to work every one of the hands az.
signed me IL days. Fhen if ! have
not a good road, it will not be my
fault. ! am determined to return
every hand assigned to me who works
at home, and will not work the road
under my instructions every time
they fail to work. I do not care il
they have basketfull of certificates.

The Keowee Courier says: "We
venture the assertion, without the
fear of contradiction, that-any farmer
who will put the same amount of ma
nure per acre on ten acres of land,
plough it IN and SOW and harrow in
oats, he will realize, with e.fourth
the expense in cultivation and har-
vestipg, more money from the ten
acres than he could make in cotton.
The same is true Of wheat. After
these grains are harvested the same
land can be planted or sowed in peas
and these he can cut, adding to hia
profit. This Kind yof. farming, too,
not only prevents the washing of the
land, but gradually enriches it. We
see that for fifteen years, with all our
large crops Of cotton, the farmers
continue in debt aud live year by
year from hand to mouth.
