our Calling gun. For over II years
we have denounced our poor road
working system and the still poorer
roads we are getting, both through
the press and on every occasion
where criticism was mermited or de-
served and never a response to try to
correct" our statements from any
of the several officials who have had
to do with our roads and their care
during said times. But nay, not so
now. Mr.. Rife came back. Hardly
had the /. j. dropped from the press
till he grabbed his little spade and
started out on his regular trip of in
spection. He then wrote in his "come
back" as follows:--
81 found the hog culvert' not
out of commission, or any way dan
gerous to travel, it having never been
stopped up in the two years of my
management, and Mr.. Lawrence as
sured me that it is in practically as
good condition as it was fifteen years
ago. But | did find culverts along the
property where Mr.. Blankenship lives
partially or wholly stopped by limbs
and other trash washed from his
place and one twenty-four inch metal
tube just in front of his house with
wash tub placed over the end put
ting it out Of commission, and caus-
ing the water to overflow the pike. /
also found his very dangerous cul-
vert with large quantity of debris
from his farm choking the end, caus-
ng the water TO undermine the walls. /"
We again repeat our former state
ment that the "hog culvert" is out of
commission, for the simple reason
that it is not serving the purpose for
which it was built. The water from
the spring on the premises of M. F.
Lawrence runs to about six feet from
the mouth of the culvert and then
Hho ditiS uioPo uoWh hiIo Tie slim
hole and out of sight, thus leaving
the culvert high and dry. As water
always seeks o. lower level, we must
face the fact tint the builders of this
turnpike were not building culverts
for ornament, norswould they have
placed it in juxtaposition, to a healthy
sink hole which afforded all necessary
drainage at that time. So it can be
seen that the sink hole came into be-
ing since the cuKert was built. The
mass Of roots from the sycamore tree
caught drift thus impeding the flow
Of water TO the extent that the
weight Of the water caused the earth
to give way. Since which time the
eulvert has been out of commission,
though yet possibly II sis in as good
condition as il was Is years ago." ac-
cording to the expert testimony Of
Mr.. Lawrence. Now we wonder il
there is any connection between the

referred TO, but is IL anything, one Of
the most dangerous places on any
road in our knowledge. In the first
place we find that Mr.. Blankenship
has never operated any land contigu-
Gus and is not responsible for any de-
ficiency in this culvert. There Is
nothing to show that any debris from
said farm caused its dangerous con-
dition. The embankment and upper
abutments are true rs when built. A
ground hog has made n shallow bur-
row in the roadside grass; this does
no harm. The dangerous hole is on
the other and lower end OF the cul-
vert. A large hole has broken through
just outside the place where wheels
Of vehicle ordinarily run. II is large
enough to bury a large horse, with
lots Of room to spare. What caused
this? We made a close examination
by crawling up under the culvert.
One Of the large flat rocks placed
over the culvert for a part Of the
roof had broken into and fallen on
the floor of the culvert A repair
made before Rifles administration
consisted of three small posts and a
piece of bridge plank placed across
walls Of the culvert in place Of the
stone. The large opening above was
then filled up with several loads Of
rock from a nearby stone fence. Re-
Gently the rocks have settled out Of
place or given way leaving very
dangerous trap where il two vehicles
were to attempt to pass in the dark
one woul surely meet disaster and the
occupants come to their death. A
horse might fall into this sink hole
and the rider pinned under and crush
ed to death. This danger continues
and no steps are taken to remove it.
II not to be fixed at once why is no
suitable warning erected or banister
placed around it? Shall it continue
till someone is injured or killed?
The dangerous culvert we had men
toned was one located south Of the
brakes Greek Stock Farm, the home
of Big Durocs. This culvert was dan
gerous August 25th and continued
so until the appearance of our arti-
Gle in October when Mr.. Rife came
and repaired a number of small cul.
verts near here to the great pleasure
of all who use highways.
Now as to the blind culverts. We |
are told on good authority that there |
is a culvert. now out Of sight, just at
NJ. +. Lawrence's front gate, long |
hidden for 10! these many years. Con-
tour of road bed and slope in bitches
show that water cannot flow on TO
other culverts but frequently the
pike overflows at this point and re-
suits in plenty of mud. Another blind
one is west of Mr.. Anderson's house.
Another still is on the Crab Orchard
and Lancaster pike between Jones l..
store and the blacksmith
shop of Fado Parks. II is stone blind.
The water has no drainage and cuts
across the pike diagonally and causing
much damage to the highway. Still
