CLEVELAND - Kings Mountain
Oracle. June %: Some days ago we
passed over the main thoroughfare be-
tween our town and Yorkville, and
found the mountain part of it almost
impossible, even with double team
and light buggy, which gave US some
idea of what it would be with heavy
numbering wagon loaded with cotton
or other heavy produce. We simply
would prefer riding several miles far
ther to some other town than Kings
Mountain rather than attempt it, and
it would be saving of time and horse
labor to do so. Huge rocks stood up
on. their mountain foundation in the
middle of the road seeming to say,
"knock me down first and then you
can pass" Holes and gullies, rises
and falls, poles and half-bridges baked
and impeded our progress. At every
turn of the wheel it was a continual
shaking and shufling, jostling and
jumbling, until we were we'll rid OF the
mountain, and into the easy well.gra-
ded convict-worked roads of York
county. Now, what does it mean Z?
Simply this: Yorkville expects to
bid and work for trade and produce
which rightfully belongs to US by loca.
ton, the trade and product of our
neig ghboring farmers of Kings Noun
tain township. In comparison with
our rough roads she puts easy, smooth
running hill.cut-down roads graded as
if for q street. AS merchants and
cotton dealers can compare prices any
where, what then are you going to
do about these roads? Allow them to
stand as they are and the trade across
the mountain 90 to Yorkville, or are
YOU going to make that road as passa-
bic as can be? You must think about
it and act about it. Our trip to York
vile was one only necessary in sever.
al months, and individually we cannot
therefore complain. But many COM
plants have reached our ears lately
from that section of the country and
our trade. We have already heard OF
some who have turned their business
to Yorkville because of the bad condi'
ton of the road to US. Surely we can
not afford this. Now it falls within
the official duty of both Cleveland and
CASTOR counties to see that road ls IN a
better fix for travel. There is some
negligence somewhere if it is not i'm
proved and that Immediately. And
it follows upon you, the business men
of Kings Mountain interested in the
welfare of your town and the swelling
of your bank accounts, to see that it is
done and properly, to subscribe to it
privately and push the movement for
q better road in that direction for all
it is worth.
