Supervisor could do except draw
his salary; thereby saving that
eish' hundred dollars that we
would have to pay him. Operate
this way together with the convict
labor Of the county put OH the
roads or buy some improved ma
chinery to work them with. The
public has received but little good
from the work of the Supervisor
or oldCounty Commissioners either
as to roads. About all they have
done was to appoint overseers, put
little notice in the papers warI-
ing them to work the roads by a
certain time, telling them to throw
out all loose rocks, cut off all over
hanging limbs and such stuff as
that. They make big mistakes
about building bridges, and worse
ones in letting them out, in buying
new roads at big prices, when the
old ones could have been worked
for less money, and made better
roads, and by hireing a clerk and
attorney paid by the county as
I understand it, to help them to
do it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I hope some
one else will take up this question
of roads and keep it a-going until
we can have better roads. 1t ought
to be kept before people from
now until next summer when can
didates will appear on the scene
for legislative honors, and make
them take it up and discuss it.

MIN cold coffee, thereupon he
told her he was going to kill him
self. He started home and on his
way fired his pistol. She. think
ing he had committed suicide, got
up and went to look for him and
as she thought found him; but It
was not he, 1t was log and lie is
still alive. She says she could
not sleep that night for thinking
of the dead dude.
We all enjoyed our barbecue
last Saturday. The dudes shook
their feet and bowed thei' ne:ds
to the "Queen" and went home
with light hearts. Look out dudes,

OH the Roads the Abominable
Roads.-Almost impossible
Barely Jackassble.

EDITOR EDGEFIELD ADVERTISER:
DEAR SIR: By your permission
I send some thoughts on the sub
iect of roads, I do not know of any
subject al this time that is of more
Importance aud that affects
the public wea! more than this.
With your permission I also in
vite discussion on this subject
through your paper not that | ex-
pect to throw any great light on it
myself, but I want to start the ball
rolliug.
1 am in favor of working the
roads by taxation and by contract
and I believe if the issue were
made in Meriwether Township to-
da, I would win. I say, without
fear of contradiction, that it costs
the people more to work the roads
under the present system than it
would by direct taxation, that is
if you take into consideration the
condition of the roads at this time
and grant that we will uever have
better onos under this system,
which I can prove. Why sir We
have no reads at all in some
places; they are a disgrace to US.
1 was in Augusta Georgia short
while ago and wanted to hire o.
horse and buggy to come home.
I inquired OF. a stableman if I
could abtain them and he said no
sir we cant let our teams 60 through
your country you have no roads
there. Now the nature of our soil
is not the cause of this condition
Of our roads. 1t is the slip-shod
way that we work them. If they
were properly shaped up, making
them wide enough where now too
narrow, arching them to the mid
die, straighting the bitches, MAX
ing the bitches deep and wide
enough to hold the water ard car
ry it off, making the road-bed
high enough for the water to drain
and seep into the bitches, and
worked in dry weather they would
get almost as hard as brick and
stay so. Instead of that what do
We find? We find that most of
the work is done when the ground
is too wet. The bitches above the
road bed so crooked that any trash
that might fall in them would
clog them up and cause tie wa
ter to flow into the road and either
stay there and make it boggy or
carry the dirt all out of it; and
the worst feature of it all is that
nearly every overseer will postpone
the working until it is a. matter of
impossibility for him to put the
road in any sort of shape even
though they were to work the whole
time required by law.
Let me say right here that, l
don't see that we have any use for
q County Supervisor under the
present system, nor would we have
any If the roads were let by COLI
tracts. | don't mean to cast any
reflection Oh Mr.. Whittle when /
say this either. But under other
system the township boards could
elect their chairman aud those so
elected would form the county
boards as they do now. That
board could elect a permanent
chairman to preside over their
