There is a growing demand for
opening up public road leading
from this place toGaston and beyond.
As it now is those people are put to
unnecessary inconvenience to reach
the Court House when business calls
them to make the trip. Just the
other day Mr.. W. A. Goodwin, hav-
ing business here, started on his
Journey and on arriving at the,
James Taylor mill found the dam
washed away; there being no cross
on the creek, either below or at the
Jefeoat Mill he was compelled to 60
above Edmund, and until he came to
the public road leading to this place.
It was like going all the way round
the elbow to get to the mouth.
A good road should be laid out
and kept in thorough repair for pub
lie travel. It has been suggested
that the road start at this place and
90 to the seven mile post on the
Orangeburg road, near the residence
Of County Supervisor Shealy; thence
by the James Taylor old home and
cross the creek; thence direct to w.
A. Goodwin's mill, and leaving Gas.
ton about half a mile to the right,
and thence by the West Hsrsey
place, Pie, oe Taylors, and thence to
interseet the old State road near
Sandy Run or at some good place in
that locality. This route is feasible
and the road can be opened at q
comparatively smell expense.
We understand that Supervisor
Shesly has expressed himself as be-
ing favorable to this project and is
willing to meet the citizens interested
and assist in laying ont the road.
Now is the time to act. Delays are
dangerous and wisdom would sug-
gest to strike while the iron is hot.
Let the people come together, make
an appointment with County Super
visor Shealy and have the road laid
out at once.
