Il lakes Money 70 Build Roads.

The condition of some OF the roads in
the county is provoking complaint, but
instead OF those complaining TO the
proper authorities-the county board
OF commissioners, they bring their trou-
bles to US, as though we kept on hand
& supply Of shovelS, and had the time,
together with the inclination, to go out
on the roads needing repair. to co the
work. One gentleman approached US
last Monday and wanted TO know why
We did not get an appropriation from
the legislature to have the roads IN this
county worked the same as Sumter has
done, bat Sumter has not done SO. nor
has any other county gotten an appro-
priation from the Legislature for road
building: it takes all OF the time of the
legislature to make appropriations for
the qualification OF the trustees and pro-
iessorS of the state educational instltu-
tions, it has not the time to consider the
general welfare, such as the building up
of the public highways, that the coun-
try at large may be more rapidly devel-
oped, but when it comes TO creating pew
jobs, and the erection of a lot OF unnec-
esSary conveniences for the colleges,
the legislature is right on the spot
promptly. But the roads need at,eD-
ton, anu the only way they can get it is
to spend money, now, where is this
money to come from if not from the
taxpayers: le: the proposition be made
to levy tax for the building OF the
roads, the taxpayer will object on the
ground that we are TOO heavily taxed
now. and cannot stand additional taxa
ton: then the next best way to get the
roads built, is to get the people inter
ested 10 consent for a bond issue to raise
a sufficient amount of money to put the
roads out by contract to road building
It will take not less. than
100000 to properly build the roads OF
this county: to have this amount. it Will
take . two mill levy for long term OF
years, the question is then, are the peo-
PIE of this county. and especially those
who are always complaining about the
roads, willing for bond issue to build
the roads, # they are, and they will give
to the delegation the authority we be-
lieve their wants will be gratifled at the
coming session.
