aEdgefield' Takes up the

Mr.. Editor: You have an article
in your issue of last week headed,
"Good Roads. vs. Bad Reads, How
to Do It." dated from Glarks Hill,
S. c., and signed "Publicus," that
deserves attention.
"Publicas" evidently has no IN.
terest in Edgefisld village or the
northern portion of the county.
He hae but one eye, and that one
eye is for Augusta, powerful good
and growing city, but. t.,then, charity
begins at home. Our first thoughts
should be for our county seat, but
"Publicus" las no thoughts except
for. Augusta. He ignores every
thing else, and by his utterancee
shows that he is not a loyal con
of Edgefield. If we are TO issue
bonds as,asked for by "Publicus. F."
those bonds should be used in
building up Edge6eld and not Au.
gusta, a5city, in smother State.
When "sPnblicus", shows that all
of his Macadam roads will lead TO
Edge6eld village and not 20 Au-
gusts, Ga, then our people may be
willing to listen to his voice, and
possibly adopt his suggestions.
The people of this good old county
do not propose to burden them.
selves with taxes to build good
roads to city in another State
when they have such good coun-
ty seat. We will vote bonds for
the improvement of Our own coun'
ty and county seat, but not 70,
some .foreign port" in. which We
have no interest.
1t isan absurd proposition te
suppose that we would build roads
at our ,wn expense to aid .nothe,
place, and by doing SO to cat oul
own business throats. AS stated
show that railroads" lead to Edge
field, and we will be willing tt
look into the matter; but nevel
fwheu the proposition on its fac
shows that the proposed roads Leaf
"from Edge6eld" to her hurt.
It would be good thing tohav'
roads, good roads and Macadamet
roads, to tbs county seat. II woult
add to our trade and importance
It is q wild scheme to propose tina
we expend our good money for an
other purpose. 1t would be goo'
thing for Augusta, beyond al
doubt, but if augusta dssires to Sc
cure the trade af Edge6eld by hav
ing Macadan. roads leading to j
from this side Of the Savanna
river, why. then let Augusta pu
up the money for that purpose an
no one will raise any objection
We ale not going to vote bonds o
put up money to cut our ow'
|throats with, "Publicus" is vision
ary in the extreme.
