FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Substantial Movement for Better
Roads in This County Started.

In responce to the notice of SUPER
visor E. G. Bruce, calling meet
ing of the tax payers to meet at the
court house last Monday to consider
the matter of the offer of the U. S.
| Government to aid the county in
road building, a small but repre-
sentative body Of men met here last
Monday. Representative B. w. Miley
presided over the meeting.
Letters from Congressman Byrnes
in reference to the matter were read,
and the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed, Mr.. Miley giving much
valuable information in regard to the
financial condition of the county and
stating that he as a representative
would endeavor to have $4,000 OF
the dispensary funds appropriated
to building permanent roads and
bridges. That he had intended at the
next session endeavoring to have
levied a one mill tax to be put aside
as a fund for building permanent
bridges, but in view Of this new
movement he would forego that and
endeavor to have the $4,000 appro.
priated for roads, provided perma-
nent bridges would be erected where
needed on these permanent roads.
The offer of the government was
discussed by several, and the matter
of the contract to be entered into
between the government and the
county gave some concern, no copy
of the contract being available, and
the estimate of the government of
$1,000 a mile also being considered
excessive.
Suggestion was made that resolu-
tion be passed asking the county
delegation to have the entire dis
pensary profits for the county set
aside for building permanent roads,
also the one-half mill now levied,
along with the communication tax,
which would give a road fund of
something in the neighborhood of
$4,000 or $4,000 year. During
the course of the meeting the mat
ter of securing additional convicts
from the State came up, and the
statement was made that the gov
ernor had written stating that on ac-
count of the convicts being used IN
the chair factory recently establish
ed at the penitentiary, no more COLI
victs could be leased to the counties.
Supervisor Bruce then offered reso-
luton that the legislative delega-
ton be requested to use their inf1u-
ence to have the chair factory abol-
ished and the two State farms solo
and the convicts leased to the coun-
ties for road building. The resolu-
ton was discussed and adopted.
Finally committee consisting OF
Messrs w. B. Chitty, j. K. Mayfield,
J. D. Fielder, H. B. Grimes, ]. A. Lain,
and NJ. w. Rentz was appointed TO
confer with the delegation and en-
deavor to have the dispensary pro-
fits accruing to the county set aside
as a fund for building permanent
roads and bridges The action of the
committee and their recommended
tions will be found below:

The society has just closed the

dollars has been contributed to the
support of foreign missions.
When we consider that all of these
women have made their contribu-
tions to missions through the 9TH

this is a good showing. Much credit
is due the faithful and efficient treas
urer, Mrs. Rhoad. With it's new Of
fcers the society feels better equip
ped than ever to press forward in
the great work to which it owes it's
existence. For Zion's sake will I

LENS sake I will not rest, until the
Righteousness thereof go forth as
brightness, and the salvation there
of as a lamp that burneth."
