There is much complaint among farmers
in this section of the county in regard to
the condition Of the old Georgetown turn
pike between this place and Bethesda, sc me
portions of the road being almost impass-
able Some months ago this road was
placed in the hands of a newly organized
company, and hopes were entertained that
the road would be put in first-class condi-
ton. Nothing, however, has been done,
and II Is a question whether anybody would
be responsible should accidents occur from
| the dangerous condition of the highway.
1t appears to be the general opinion that
the company should fulfill the requirements
of their charter or turn the property over
to some responsible parties who will i'm
prove the same.
