1t would have offset the extra taxa tion for the building of said road. l believe if said road have been built (and it could), it would have kaen of such inestimable value to all the peo- pie of the state that many wAo were so bitterly opposed to it would have soon risen up and called it's promoters blessed. For one, I wish to say I re- spect and honor the cOunty's repre- sentative, Capt. W. w. Martin, for striving to build and foster internal improvements. I believe in state wide progression.
