The following are the reports sub
mitted on Saturday:
As directed by law I have finished
inspecting the public highways of my
respective township. I find the prin-
cipal part of the road in fair condi-
ton which is due to the unusual dry
weather in the spring. The order from
the supervisor to the overseers to
put at least three days work on their
sections of road by the 18th, instant,
has been so far ignored. The bridges
are all in very good condition. The
road crossing the swamp below the
Epps' mill is being injured very much
by the overflow of a branch which l
have already reported to the super
visor and l feel sure that he will at
tend to this matter at an early date.
There are one or two other small Sec
tons that will hardly bear inspec-
ton, but I will wait on them until my
next report.
Respectfully submitted,
T. J. Wilson
The Supervisor Of Newberry County.
Dear Sir: Beg leave to submit to
you my report of the condition Of the
roads and bridges in No. s township.
The road leading from the Dr. Thos.
Boozer place by Bush river church on
to the Laurens line is in good condi-
tion. The road leading from William
Smiths by Tom Workmanis into the
Ninety Six road has hill near Mr..
Tom Workman's in bad condition and
needs the county chaingang to work
it. The road leading from Henry
Dorroh's to T. J. Davenport's has
narrow rocky place that should be
blasted out to make road wider. The
Belfast road is in very good condition.
The road leading from the LeWie
place to Long Bridge is good except
at place near the old Hendrix place
needs widening. The creek swamp on
the west side should be ditched and
the hill worked to A. L. Longshore's
mail box. The road from Wash
Floyd's place to Sipgley's mill needs
widening in a great many place. All
the other roads in the township are
in very good condition; much better
than We usually find them. Almost
all the bridges in the township need
some work on them and I would reel
ommend that the supervisor instruct
all overseers to fix them at once; al
so have the overseers to work the
roads and keep them in good condi-
ton. In the road leading from the
old Jesse Sem place to Trinity
church, there is a bad hole right in
front of the negro. church that ought
to be fixed at once
Respectfully,
G. l.. Clamp,
Inspector.
