Meeting all the county seat towns.

Supervisor Sample some time last
year did build a fine road from the
Williams place out to Chappells, but
lust as we said at the time unles;
provision is made for its maintenance
it was only a question of time before
it would be as bad as it was before
and that time has come sooner than
we expected. But just a little work
right now would put this stretch ia
fine shape. But from the Williams
place on down this way there are
some holes in the road that you can't
shun. even if you were disposed %
drive out in the field, that will almost
swallow Ill and they could be fixed
with Just little work. do wish
that Supervisor Sample could send a
force up that road now and use the
scrape on it and fill these holes and
then we would have, at least until
the winter rains began, a fairly good
road. And fix some of the bridges
| can not specify but attention IS
needed all the way from Newberry.
The approach to the river bridge at
saluda has been built and it is in fine
shape and the bridge across the river
seems to be all right, but my, the
holes and bitches in the road from
there right straight on to NeWoerry
is something fearful. Mr.. Sample
please give these people just a lit
tie showing in the matter of roads,
You know, this is a fine section OF
Newberry county, and I believe that
the people will cooperate with you
as they did when you built that Sec
tion from Williams to Chappells.
Chappells is a good business place
and there are several flourishing
stores and progressive merchants IN
the town and they are fine part o.
our county. They have fine scnool
and a fine community spirit and All
OF us should be willing, to encourage
it. in every way that we can, and II
the officials would Or could give some
attention to the public roads just al
this time it would do more than any
thing we know to make them get
move on themselves.
know it is very difficult for tn:
supervisor to do all that the peopl;
want or expect with the means al
his disposal, bat little work on thl;
very important road just at: this tim+
would be worth a whole lot more than
if the work is postponed to some fu,
ture date.
We spent a very pleasant day al
the old home, and all of the 6 child

of them have been there at the
same time in many years. And sew

grand children were there also. land
Mrs. Kate Monts of Little Mountain
a relative and friend of other days
was present, having journeyed from
Little Mountain. She is now. 81
years old but does not have the ap-
pearance of being more than As o;
so, and have seen some people. who
looked older at that age than she does
at 81.
It took me little more than two
and half hours to make the journey
a distance Of only s25 miles. But
before we go again I am satisfied that

! The above was written for the last
issue of the paper. In going over thu
railroad on Tuesday I noticed thai
the Greenwood authorities were
building the little bridge referred te
and that the road was being worked
which is good. and I hope they are
working all the way to Ninety Six
and on to Greenwood. Now if Super
visor Sample can just find time to dc
something for this end of the road
we can go that route to Greenwood
and save many miles of travel: And
