County Roads.

Very important proceedings were
had in the County Court last Tues
day. A bill had been filed in the
Chancery Court asking a forfeiture of
the South end of the Maury Central
Turnpike. The owners of the road
Tuesday proposed that they would
abandon their charter rights and turn
the road over to the county. The
offer was accepted and the County
will work the road and keep it up as
turnpike. This road leads out
south from Columbia and is common
ly known as the Pulaski pike.
On the same day the long disturbed
Columbia Central Turnpike question
was fiuaIIy settled. This is generally
known as the Mt. Pleasant pike.
Several bills had been filed against
this company asking forfeiture of
the charter, and several months ago
the Supreme Court decided the char
ter forfeited. Immediately two new
charters were gotten out for this road;
one by James Cranberry and associ-
ates, and another by Horace Rainey
and associates. Tuesday Mr.. Gran
berry and associates withdrew their
application and asked instead that
the Court take charge of the pike aud
run it.
Mr.. Rainey, who was the owner of
| the road at the time the charter WAS
| forfeited, presented his charter and
petition and asked to be allowed to
run the road again. The question
was argued at some length, bat was
| finally decided by a vote OF 81 to Is
against the petition and in favor OF
the county operating the road, as they
decided to do with the Maury Central
Turnpike.
Both of these roads therefore will
hereafter be under the control of the
County Court. 1t will be the duty of
| the Court to appoint three COM
missioners, of whom the Chair
man of the Court will be one. The
Chairman under the law cannot re-
ceive more than $40 for his services,
but each commissioner may receive
as much as 81 900 per annum, or any
less sum agreed upon by the Court.
The toll charges will be fixed by the
commissioners, aud all the monies re-
ceived from toll must be expended Oh
the road. 1t is argued by the advO-
Gates Of this settlement that the loads
in this way can be kept in better re-
pair aud higher state OF improve
ment than when operated by any
| company; the argument being that
the company will OF course retain al
least fair profit for themselves, while
under the new system all the toll
money will be turned right back Oh
the road.
The argument certainly has SOM
force. The only question is whei her
the Court will always select men as
commissioners who will give the same
care and attention to their duties Sc
public officers that a man will give TO
his own business. The experiment is
| well worth trial. 1t is an important
work the Court takes upon itself and
we hope they will be fortunate as
we'll as careful in their first selections.
LATER Yesterday the court elect
ed as commissioners Chairman Mel
son, Leon FriersOn and F. ank Rick
cts. These three will elect a super
visor to work the roads, the salary
having already been fixed by the
Court at $3.50 per year, the other two
members of the Board to receive $50
each.
