AS TO GOOD ROADS.
FavOrs Move for Better Highways.
Some Suggestions.

Seneca, r. F. d. No. 1, Aug. %
Editor Keowee Courier: In your last
issue l notice a move has been start
ed for better roads; and | am glad
of it, as think there Is nothing that
needs more attention at present than
our roads. With the exception of
few roads that lead from one town to
the other they have almost been
abandoned. While | know we have
no funds to work them at present,
still l don't think to raise the COM
mutation tax to 50 or SO would be
just to our fellowInen, as there are
great many who own neither wheel
nor hoof, and to tax them the same
as the man who owns farms with
plenty around him would be unjust
as | see 1t. Why not raise a mill tax
on the property, as there is great
deal Of land owned by men who live
in town, and some Of them do not
pay road tax at all, yet they get the
benefit Of the tax of the poor man
who owns nothing but his daily
bread?
l am in favor of good roads and
willing to do all can to get them
If every man who lives on the road
would use few rocks IN the mud
holes in the winter when he can't do
much else it would be a lasting bene-
fit, not only to the public, but to
himself as we'll.
In some sections of the county
there are vast tracts Of land owned
by capitalists and worked by renters,
and If the property was taxed, and
that tax applied to the district in
which 1t is located, the distribution
of funds would be averaged up bet
ter.
There Is one public road that l
know of that, to my best recollection,
has not had any work done on it In
six or seven years. That road leads
from Thos. II. Hunnicutts to the
Shallow Ford on Keowee river; and
on another road--that leading from
Old Pickens to Walhalla, by New
Hope church-a portion has had but
one working to my knowledge N five
years, and not much then. Mr. Bow
ers, the overseer, had only a few dol
lars to work with, but he did the
best he could with the funds avail
able.
want to have good roads to travel.
Let the 81 commutation tax stand
and then put tax of as many mills
on the property as will be necessary
to work our roads. There are some
places in this section over which one
vehicle cannot pass another without
getting in the ditch or woods.
Let us get better system for bet
ter roads. ] want to hear from 9TH
ers on this very important subject.

Net shortage .$24,171 22

The bonding company has sent in
a check for 100000, leaving a bal
ance of $4,171.22. 1t is explained
that the bonding company should be
liable for the entire amount, as the
treasurer gets bonds every time he
Is elected to an office, that is to say,
each term the bond has to be taken
out again. The bonds are good for
ten years. In case a shortage is dis
covered within that time the bond
ing company must stand good for the
amount Of the shortage up to the
$50, 900 for each term of office. The
present payment is, perhaps, the
largest in the history Of the State for
one bonding company.

MORE HEAL I'll LAWS
Legislature To Have Doctors and
Others Advised In Regard
to Contagious Diseases
ADVANCED LEGISLATION SURE
Especial to The News)

Madison, Wis, March 6-The Wis
consin legislature has started a crusade
against the spread of dangerous and
Infectious diseases. Friday the first
steps were taken when the assembly
passed the bill which gives the State
Board of Health and Vital Statistics
power and authority to publish and
distribute among the physicians, mid
wives and nurses or other persons re-
curing such information, instructions
relating to Inflammation of the eyes of
new born babes, and proper methods of
prevention.
The Board is empowered to make
and enforce such rules and regulations
as it may deem necessary to prevent
this Inflammation, which is technical
ly known as ophthalnia neonatorum.
1t is the duty of the physician, or other
person in attendance, to use such
prophylactic treatment for the proven
ton of blindness of the new born in
FAINT as the State Board of Health may
determine. Should both eyes of the
infant become swollen or infamed, or
show an unnatural discharge at any
time within two weeks after it's birth,
the one in attendance is required to
report in writing to the local Board of
Health. On receipt of such report the
Board is to take steps to examine the
case and provide proper treatment.
Any one failing to obey the law will
be punished by fine not exceeding
800.
