Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Sharon, August 7-Sharon people
and those living in Bullock's Creek and
Broad River townships who look upon
Sharon as their chief marketing point,
are interesting themselves much In the
matter of q good road for western
York, evidenced by the large repre-
sentation of local people that went to
Yorkville, Wednesday to appear before

next twenty years. There Is no tell

There is no more reason why the east.
ern, northern and southern sections OF
the county should not help us to build
a good road through western YORK
than that we should help them build
good roads through their respective
territories as we have done"

have the organization go on record as
estimating so cents a pound as rea-
sonable price. A meeting of all the
state associations in the cotton belt is
to be held about September l, at which
time one of the chief objects will be
to agree upon a minimum figure. What
