Rebuilding BRIDGES.

One of the most gratifying results
OF the present war excitement in
Great Britain is the action of the
house of lords providing for a gen
eral strengthening of the bridges
along the main roads of motor traffic
These bridges were mostly under the
management of the big railroad COM
pauies. and the heavy truck traffic
did not appeal to them enough to
cause them to expend either money
or labor in Strengthening the bridges.
The heavy traffic in motor trucks for
the British war department has
brought the question of strong bridges
yivfdIy before the people, and strong
pressure is being brought by the
courts. officials of the government
and the press on the railroads. The
result is that bridges are rebuilt all
over the country.

THE RADICAL ROAD,
Supervisor Pitts Gives View of County
Commissioners OH Matter Of Clos
ing Road.

Mr.. Editor.
Please give me space in which to
present the County Boards view of the
much discussed Radical Road uues-
ton. 1 shall be as brief as possible,
and shall accuse no one Of having
violated an oath; failed to perform
duty; or having acted illegally.
The Board accepted Mr.. Graham's
offer, in order that they might pro-
vide wider and safer road to ac-
commodate the heavy traffic that now
passes over the eastern end of the
Radical Road, and not, as Mr.. Tisdale
thinks. to enable Mr.. Graham and DR..
China to put through a real estate
deal.
After personal inspection of the
two roads, the Board decided that.
inasmuch as the Boulevard Road is
wider than the Radical Road, and only
five hundred feet longer, that it was
their duty to accept the proposed ex-
change of roads. They are convinced
that the gain in width more than Off
sets the difference in distance between
the two roads.
The Radical Road was wide enough
for the traffic it was originally ex-
pected to accommodate; but since
the traffic of both the Plowden's Mill
Road and the New Shiloh Road has
been diverted into it, greater width is
necessary for the safety and conven-
ience Of the travelling public.
The law quoted by our attorney,
permits us to abandon roads when, in
our Judgment, they become useless.
Our Judgment in this instance is,
that the Boulevard Road, when put in
good condition, will be so much safer,
and so much more useful than the
Radical Road, that the latter will be
practically useless.
We believe this change of roads will
be of advantage to the people Of our
county. We endeavor at all times to
serve their interests as best we can,
and are willing to have them pass
Judgment on our acts.
We care nothing about the unmerit-
ed abuse in which Mr.. Tisdale has
seen tit to indulge. He seems to he
influenced solely by sentiment.

on dairying, and + hope, one from
washington. I want to thank you for
your very kind invitation"
On January 3rd, at 1880 O'Clock,
in the county court room, there will
be held one Of the most important
county wide meetings ever held in

ed, if possible, to inaugurate a system
attic organization Of the several inter-
ests Of this county, the agricultural
commercial, financial, and social inter-
ests. where the farmers, merchants,
bankers, and consumers will work to-
gether to prepare for the coming of
the cotton boil weevil, by establishing
methods OF diversification on the farm,
intelligent marketing and buy at home

1t is proposed to join together for
permanent and continued efforts the
commercial, agricultural, and bank
ing interests Of Sumter county, where
by the farmers will be producers of
sufficient necessities Of life, not only to
supply themselves and their families

A USEFUL HIGHWAY.
Mrs. Reardon States Reasons Why,
Radical Road Should Not be Closed

Editor Daily Item.
In. replying TO Mr.. Pus' denial that
the Radical Road was being closed
Tor the convenience OF Dc. China and
Mr.. Graham, wish to state that. DR..
China being my physician, 1 have a
very kindly feeling for him, SO called
on him first when 1 heard the Radical
Road was to be closed in order to
connect dairy lands with the wood
land to be purchased from Mr.. Gra-
ham. told DIR. China what 1 had
heard and how much 1 appreciated
his care as a physician and asked him
not to close this road to the farm
lands beyond, (mine included) and
that 1t would materially injure the
value of our lands If they were closed
off from the public thoroughfare, and
that 1 would have to oppose the clos
ing OF the road. as 1 felt it would ma
terially injure the valuation of my
lands. His reply was, Mrs. Reardon,
1 do not think it will hurt you and it
will help me. 1 have considerable in
vested in my dairy and 1 need this
land for it's advancement" / suggest
ed to him that he could connect the
two places so as to allow his cattl. to
have the benefit of the woodland with
out closing the public road. He re-
Piled, mo, unless he could get the
road closed he would not buy the
woodland" Now this seems to be
pretty good evidence for whose benefit
the road is being closed, especially so
when we consider the numerous
signatures that have presented their
petition in opposition to the closing
of the road, citizens who are as ca
pable of good judgment as our
worthy Supervisor (whose servant he
is). L understand Mr.. Pitts has said
ANY one would sign petition if it
was presented to them" l beg to diff
fer with him. The petition 1 present.
ed TO the Board of Supervisors was
signed by seventy or more citizens of
this city. all capable. thoughtful men,
who would weigh what they did.
such men as DR.. j. A. Mood, Messrs
Geo. ID. Shore, j. II. Chandler Henry
Barnett, Hugh Haynsworth, Mark
Reynolds, "A. IL. Stuckey. S. NJ. Pierson
and very very, many other such men
too numerous to mention, each one
men OF thought who would weigh we'll
what they did. Mr.. Pitts claims that
the Radical Road has served it's pur-
pose. THAT it is too narrow" The law
provides for the widening of roads.
Will illustrate it. The Radical Road
IN question is a part Of my land, as
bought originally and decided to the
purchaser. Several years ago the pre-
vious Supervisor saw proper for the
advancement of parties interested to
widen the road, | was not consulted
but the extra width was taken from
my lands when it could well have been
taken from the other side. Now is
Dr. China or Mr.. Graham more wor-
thy Of consideration than other citi-
