A GREAT SECTION.

Oerrv mas STOOD the test OF Ine n1Sn
water and heavy rains remarkably
well. Of course, 1t IS washed up in
some places, but you can travel it ali
right but for few creeks where there
is need of work, and that work should
be done at once And it would no,
cost great deaf to do it. We would
like to see Supervisor Sample take
one of his chain gang forces and pun
on this work at once, and there is no
more important work in the county.
This, is an important road and con-
meets the towns of Newberry and
Whitmire, two Of the important trad
ing centres of the county, and then it
is part of the chain of road on to
Union and Spartanburg.
There are three fills that need to be
made. The one at Duncao's creek
Just this side of Whitmire, and the
one at Indian creek just this side Of
the residence of Mr.. Jno.. M. Suger,
and the other at Kings creek just
this side the residence of Mr..
c. S. Suber's. When the road was
worked over last year a great i'm
proFement was made at Duncan's
creek by changing the road and max
ing a ill, but it should be raised at
least three or four feet more, and a
new bridge built there. and then it
would be above high water even in
times like these. Before the present
ill was made it would have been i'm
possible even for a buggy to have
crossed, and the present I'LL is prac- |
tical demonstration of the benefit OF
such work. A new bridge is needed
at this place any way and it should be
raised, and the road Strengthened. At
Indian creek there is macadam bot I
tom but with a little rise in the
stream the water covers it for several
feet and a considerable distance. A
new bridge is needed here and the
road should be Strengthened. At both
of these places there are hills on
either side that Saed pulling down
and the dirt would be accessible from
them for the fills without much haul
ing. At Kings creek just this side OF
MIR. Suber's the fill could be easily
made in the same way, apd it would
not have to be so high to be above |
tie risr in the creek as the water
spreads out at this place and it is no.
so swift.
The gridge over Hunting Fork went
away on Saturday afternoon and
should be replaced Immediately. This
is a very important road from any
view point and should have the atten-
tion of the supervisor in the particu-
lars we have mentioned and we be-
leive that it will.
SO far as getting stranded over
there and having to spend the night
on account of inability to cross Indian
creek on Saturday afternoon the
pleasure was all ours. There are no
more hospitable homes in Newberry
county or anywhere else than those
of the Subers. 1t was our good for
tune amidst the small misfortunes of
the day to have the pleasure of spend
ing the night at the home of Mr.. John
M. Suber. The truth is, this editor
would not have raised any serious OBJ
lection to spending a week at this
home where good fried chicken and
the best of country ham with all the.
other good things to eat are in such
abundance and so well prepared. 1t
makes one feel like going back to the !
farm. No one appreciates the kindly !,
consideration of these good people !
more than this editor. Mr.. J. Will
Suber took care of some of our party
and from what they hod to say We
think they would not have raised any
serious objection if they would have
been obliged to stay while longer. 4 |
is a great section and has many good
people.
Supervisor Sample has just been in
the Office and says that he will send a
