NOTICE.
TO THE PUBLIC.

.
/ now have Il few convicts win
which to work the roads of Edge
field county, under sente:lce OF
the court, but they are so few
tnat it will take a long time to
get around; however, I'll make
this suggestion: There are a great
many ditch bridges in the county
that cost 6. good deal or money in
the aggregate. Now, if farmers
will haul out of their plantations,
rocks and stones that may be III
the way, and pile them near these
bridges, Twill take these conylcts
from time to time and fill up the
ditches with the rocks, thus doing
awaywitE the necessity OF wooden
bridges ard saving a good deal to
the county in tie way OF lumber r
bills.
As an indication of what these
little bridges cost the county l
would say that on one piece OF
road q mile and a half long there
are seventeen ditch bridges. This
may be, and probably is, the worst
piece Of road in the county for
ditch bridges, but is by no means
the only piece, they probably run
I'D into the hundreds.
