t Sumter county can be used on othe
y roads, which in the course of a fey
a years will no doubt give Pickens coun

reason than that it is not locate,
just in the spot where they would lik
: for it to be This action shows ;
selfish spirit on the part of thes,
citizens, as they forget that othel
sections of the county are due somt

citizen in the county that the opposi-
ton will realize this fact and assist
in getting old Pickens out of the ditch
and mud when the opportunity is CIV
en- on election day.
