cities as Charleston, Georgetown, Sa-

and therefore should be free to eZ-
press their opinions and lend their as
sistance wherever opportunities pre-
sent themselves.
In this age Of enlightenment and
progress all agree that II is necessary
to adopt other and mere modern meth
ods of improving our highways than
the primitive method Of warning out
the hands"-male citizens between the
ages Of eighteen and forty-five years
in proximity TO the road to be i'm
proved. This has proven entirely too
effective, especially with the rapidly
increasing population Of the country
and the constantly increasing volume
Of traffic on the road. Were every per-
son liable to duty to work With pick
and shovel few days annually, rs re-
quired by law, but little more could
be accomplished than to fill the worst
chuck holes, and by so doing ease their
conscience and relieve the Overseers
of the embarrassment CT being in
dicted in the county court. No system
of working roads is just one IL la
bor is compelled to bear the entire
burden Of the cost and Mt the same
time property enjoy equal benefits by
its enhancement in value.
AS previously stated, money is the
necessary requisite for the improve
ment of our common highways, but the
perplexing problem with our people
is how to get it." Day by day the
public is becoming more enthusiastic
upon the question as they study it in
its various phases, and are Of the opin-
ion that, as the roads are benefit to
all, the burden of cost Of thei: con-
struction and maintenance should be
born by all. There are various ways
by which this may be done, but like
the accomplishment of all great move
ments, the cooperation Of all allied
forces is essential. Within the past
few years many States have enacted
laws and appropriated money for the
improvement Of the common roads OF
the country and many counties have
issued bonds for the same purpose,
with equally good results. Funds for
this purpose have also been raised by
direct taxation and by individual sub.
scription, but the limited amount col.
lected is generally too small to scarce
ly make q beginning on the great mum
ber Of reads to be improved.
