Wanted===Better Roads!
Some of the Many Reasons
Why Good Roads Would
Help Town and Country.

Mr.. Editor: There is cry
all over the county for better
roads. Our merchants want to
see better roads, it will help their
trade, it will bring thousand, of
dollars to Lancaster that now
gees to Mon. e and other 1nlrk
e's. Oar farmers need better
roads 70 haul their -Guano from
town and their crops 10 market.
Inc government requires the
roads to be good for the rural
mail carriers. Every man who
travels our roads il z buggy or
wagon wants TO see our roads
made bet er.
1t will save our stock and our
0ug2ieo and wagons and shor en-
the time in travel, and increase
the pic Of our lands. It. will
make he country more irdepeu-
dent and prosperous and a bet,
ter place to i've in and .tap so
much moving to town. 1t viii
wonderfully improve cur coun-
try. we ,an have better roads.
Oar PEOPLE are wiling to work
them or to pay to have them
worked. Our roads are bsd be
cause they have no been proper
~ worked. They have been in
bad fix for ten or twelve years,
and the faulC has been in our
supcrg.sor--ono by one they
have neglected their dutr. They
have MT been interested in our
roads as they should have been.
Instead Of working orr public
roads less than oue day q year.
as taken from IA former grand
Jury's report, our supervisor
shoul1 have seen to it thas four
OF six days work year had baen
doe, eSpecia!iy on Ill bad roads.
But let the pat go--Ne must
have better roads in the lu'u-e--
"o are go.nS to have them.
Frat, we must get a super
visor that is in eres ed in our
roads, and is willing TO do his
duty. This we believe is abso.
lute!y nccessry. And n instlce
to al! our supervisors Of the past
ten years We would say they
have all beea good men, but
poor Road Supervisors. They
have been too good and easy to
make the road overseers work
Now what we want and what
we hope to have in the next elec-
ton, is a new man for super.
visor-one that is interested and
prepared TO give us better roads,
and is willing to pledge his word
and his Office if need be, that he
will DO il Cor everybody knows
our overseers viii not work un
less we get new man.
Second, we want to see our
county spending some money
digging down our hills and fill.

amizing the same. Nearly every
prosperous town in the South is
doing this, and Lancaster can do
this too. If we can get enough
