ROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Prospects for Good Road TO Yer
dery to take the Place of the Al
most Impossible Dendy's Bridge


most impossible Dendy's Bridge
Route.
The Press and Banner is delighted to note
| the prospect of an improved crossing OF Long
Cane at Dendy Bridge on the road to Verdery.
The Norris Creek crossing Is TO be renedleu
too, the Dendy's bridge across Long Zane VIII VIII
probably be abandoned for sensible and
reasonable route across on high bridge over
Long Cane. The contemplated changes 1t is
thought, will not only give good road 20
take the place of the worst road In AobeVllle
County, but 1t will shorten the distance possi-
bly, half mile.
For thirty years the trade beyond Long
Cane has been practically cut on from Aooe-
Vile because OF the streams, but our people
will be glad to hear OF the prospect VI better
road and better crossings.
County Supervisor Nichols, we learn, Is Civ.
ing the proposed work his best attention. and
we are also glad TO learn that his associate on
the Board, Mr.. Richard Sondley Is alive TO the
necessity for the needed road Improvement.
With these gentlemen actively At WORK on
scheme for the betterment OF The interests OF
the County, as well as ofthe people ofthe City,
we feel sure that the nuisance which has In
jured the town for thirty years Will be re-.
moved. When the new road and the new
bridge is built Abbeville will owe the officers
profound gratitude.
Owing to the fact that the crossing at
Norris Creek Is so bad-belng about snoe
mouth deep In water for perhaps fifty yards
numbers Of people commit trespass IN going
Into neighboring pasture, where logs and
and RATS are thrown into the stream 50 that
pedestrians may cross dry shod. The NUS
ance 10 the adjoining pasture Is so great IN
break Ing fences, and throwing logs In the
creek. that the owner will be com PEELED TO
abandon the land, or else prosecute Offenders
for trespass. To abandon the pasture Will
incur considerable loss. To be put to the ne
cessity OF hunting trespassers and Furnishing
them 1s unpleasant. For thirty.tve years
part Of the land thereabout had been aban-
doned, and had become to be regarded as
public park, and with no proper crossing at
the big road, trespassers have presumed Oh
that fact for going upon forbidden ground.
