NEW ROAD LAW.
Various Citizens Express Their Opin.

Various Citizens Express Their Opin.
We. the citizens OF Level Land, Abbeville
County, W ish to express through your columns
our disapproral OF the proposed new road
law. Tor the following reasons:
We have always had good roads-a great
deal better than what we have seen worked
under the hired overseers. II the road from
the Gordon place TO Long Cane church is a
sample Of what the Commissioner wants
hired overseers to do we don't want any In
ours.
We are law-abiding people. and If it is law
we will submit.
Let each section recommend It's own man
| that we may get men who know how much
and what kind OF work It requires to put O
| road in good fix, not simply six days 10 get
the money. We have no road in our section
which would require six days to put 1t in first
will have good roads In our section. They
ask US 10 pay two dollars or work six days.
We would like to know should all pay.
Where can hands be hired to work six days
for two dolars9

butcher knife which had been ac-
cidentally dropped in its fodder.
How it passed down the throat of
the beast is mystery, but that il
did has just been proved by the
knife protruding through the ribs
and forming sore.
When the sore was opened the
point of the knife WAS seen. An
attempt to draw 1T out was made,
but it could only be drawn as far
as the hilt.
a veterinary surgeon Gays the
