Modern science has discovered a

that these Irregularities will not
occur again.
We think 1t advisable to call to
the special attention Of the Supervi-
sor the Importance of improving the
grades on the public roads wherever
practicable, as it is very expensive
and impossible TO maintain a good
road-bed on III improper and steep
grade. We also request the citizens
to render such assistance as they
can in accomplishing these needed
changes, as nothing is more benef-
cial to any community than good
roads. We believe hat we have an
efficient County Supervisor, and that
his salary should be increased to
$3.50 per annum.
We have, by committee, visited
the poor farm, and find that there
are now - inmates, II of whom are
white and two colored, all being
well cared for and co~ntented. We
find the farm in a good state Of cult.
walton and a good crop growing
thereon.
We eco mend that the steward
be furnished an account book, in
which should be entered daily all the
receipts and disbursements made in
the management Of said poor farm,
and that an itemized sworn statment
of such transactions be made month
ly TO the Board Of County Commits
sioners.
The grand jury have had their at
tention called to the bad condition
Of the following public roads, to
wit: Mullins Ford road; Coneross
road, leading from Seneca to Fair
Play; Return road, leading to Sen
eca; Chattooga Ridge road.
We have appointed committees to
investigate the condition of the
bridges in the county, and also the
public schools, and to report upon
the same at the next term of Court.
We desire to thank your honor and
the other officers Of the Court for
courtesies extended to us in the dis
charge Of our duties, and beg to be
excused from further attendance
upon this term Of Court.

Is. Jones, manager of the oil mil az

wentworth and j. e. Carnes, both of
Lavonia, Ga, will inaugurate If onoe
an automobile truck service for pass-
enSers and freight between Apdar-
son and Townville. These gentle
men nave purchased a $4,000 Reo
Track which has been delivered, and

IOWnVillc this morning. This truck
mas an enormous capacity and will
De able to haul a great quantity of

MY. Jones called attention to the
conditions Of the roads between An
derson II Townville and Westmin-
| The distance from Anderson 70
TownVille and that from Townyille to
Westminster is the same-lS miles
but because OF the eXceilen, cnndi-
tlon OF the other road, much better
time can be made from Westminster
Mr. Jones suggested that the people
along the route go in together and
build a good road from here to Town
Vile 1t would bring TownyiIle
Liuch closer to Anderson, ard at
tract a great deal of trade to this
CITY which is now going elsewhere.
"A better road is badly needed, Mr..
Jones says.
me ldea Of putting on the auto
ruck service was first TO hau,
lrelght alone. But Mr.. Jones sug-
gested that passengers be taken m re
or and Messrs. Whitworth and
Carnes are taking the matter under
consideration. They will probably
arrange to haul passengers on certain
days Of the week.
ct present the merchants and he
manufacturers get their freight from
Seneca the distance to that town
from ~Townville being only - miles
when the auto truck service be-
comes established the
or freight will be largely made to
Anderson.
The proprietors Of the service
should be given every encourage
ment' the roads should be repaired,
and the people should give them bust
ness. 1t will soon result in a big
thlng for the people Of the two cities
n the country between them.
