winds of the past few days hVve caused
the roads in the rural section of the county
to partly thaw and those who are compel
led to use them say they never were SO
miry as they are at present. Many of
them arc almost impassable. especially
for heavy cars and trucks, and the light
ears are compelled to stay in the roads,
AS in many places the roadbed is the only
safe place.
In addition, many roads are still closed
on account of bridges and mill dams being
washed out among which are the bridges
over the Trappe, Ellis, Bacon, Fleetwood,
Cannon and Calhoun mill dams. Over
the latter pond a new concrete bridge
broke in two in theimiddle on account of the
earth being washed out under each end.
This condition is a serious detrimcnt to
shippers of sweet potatoes, who arc with
extreme difficulty getting their potatoes
to the local station and returning to their
farms with a supply of hampers in which
to pack the next load.
