'Gaffney Ledger, Aug. %: That the
road between Gaffney and Blacksburg
is disjntregating rapidly is very ap-
parent to those who are in any manner
observant. We have been told that
this road cost Cherokee approximately
twenty thousand dollars per mile. We
believe our informant Is mistaken, but
we are convinced that 1t cost entirely
too much to permit 1t to go to the
bad. 1t appears to us that It would be
a good thing just at this juneture of
apply q coat of tarvia. This would
cost about forty thousand dollars, but
it would at the same time save at least
a hundred thousand for fifteen to
twenty years. It's poor business to
spend as much money as has been
spent on this road and then allow 1t to
be worn out. when an application Of a
good binder would preserve It for
years to come........Mrs w. s. Hall,
regent of the Daniel Morgan chapter
