MUCH TALK OF A NEW COUNTY

There. is much talk of rew coun-
ty in this section. Central has top
soiled her streets. and the only good
"a out of town is the road to
Liberty. The road to Six Mile, Clc:n-
on College, and Pendleton are very,
cry bad, in some places they are
lmost impossible, and many of the
best citizens feel that if we had a
rev county in which there would not
he much road milage to keep up we
could easily have good roads in it.
If we had a new county here, the
territory we would get from Pickens,
Oconee and Anderson counties is
practically level which would make
i, very easy to build and maintain
oads. The slogan now among far
mers is small farms we'll cultivated.
The same slogan would be good f.:
counties. Why not have smaller
counties with good roads, and good
everything? Let's 60 after it on the
