THE ROADS AT CLEMSON.

found an article on the matter of
Clemson College voting herself out
OF Oconee. In this article we find
that progress" assigns one reason
why Clemson desires to "secede''
from Oconee. "Progrcs' speaks
plainly Of the matter. but we desire
10 emphasize the main reason as
signed by him for the petition to the
Governor. He says:
"Thc fact is, they (the
roads leading from Pendleton to the
Two iron bridges over Seneca river)
have not been worked for two years,
while on the west side of the public
road from the Cherry bridge the
road has been we'll worked this year
frnIn tho bridge to Seneca. These
facts seem to be the cause of the
citizens on the east side OF the river
wanting to get out OF Oconcc. #
They feel rs if Rconcc did not want
them, as they are neglected SO much
and so long. Oconcc and
PitkcnS neglect this territory, and in
'p)nc"S the public roads arc the lines,
:and the supervisors of the three
counties don't care to investigate and
hnd whether the roads are i'm their
counties or not"
Can it be possible that Oconee
county has roads so bad that citi-
Zons OF Il section Of the county wish
to Seccdr from us and go over to our
ne1ghbor? We hope that the gricv-
ance OF our friends at Clemson may
be adjusted at once. If "ProgresS"
has stated the case correctly, then
indeed Clemson has grievance
one thai may we'll have caused her
blood to boil.
The question arises, however, as to
who is at fault. Are the county lines
SO vague as to give rise to Qucs-
tiOn Of authority among the Com
miSsioners Of the three counties? If
so, it seems to us that it should be
the joint business of these officials
OF the three counties to meet and
definitely fix these lines in their
minds so as to preclude, for the pres
,eHt and for the future. the possibility
,of neglect in this section.
ut would seem also that it Is mani
festly Oconec's place to look into
ihe matter, and at once. 1t is not
good policy to let section of the
county suffer long either from real
'or imaginary wrongs. This matter
shonld be attended to Immediately.
II it is found that Clemson's COM
3laint is we'll founded, then remedy
al by giving that section as good
roads as other sections OF the coun-
". IT is manfcStly entitled to
chem. 1t is an important part of the
.county--one of the most important
parts. If Clemson has failed to
Bring these matters to the attention
OF the county authorities in a direct
manner, she has made mistake.
ONr system OF public works is utterly
Inadequate to meet the needs of the
people as whole, and the supervi-
Sur and commissioners cannot know
personally the condition OF every sec
Eion'S roads.
Nhcrcvcr the fault lies. however,
thrrc is a remedy. Let our county
oitcials visit at once the neglected
rnrltory and confer with the dissatiS-
fled citizens; let the ground be
gone over carefully and with due
consideration and business thought
7nlncSS. Justice to this section de-
mandS it; the supervisor and com
mjSSioncrS owe it to themselves, to
she citizens OF Clemson and to the
