In a recent article attention was called to the cost of constructing these roads, some inferred that I was opposed to the bond issue, which was a mistake, we want to go at the busi ness with open eyes. It is going to cost to build our roads, but it is andl will cost a great deal more to not build them. I have been trying to estimate what the mud tax costs me person ally eve y year.

Felix Lipscombe. refused to ao cept the custody of the defendant on the ground that he is under 18 years of age and that it is contrary to South Carolina law to work a youth of les than 18 on public works. The city is therefore confronted with the necessi ty of taking care of the negro for 30 days, feeding him and receiving noth ing In return. Supervisor Lipscomb says his ap, tion in the matter is based on an ordet issued in habeas corpus proceedings. recently held in Spartanburg before Judge I. W. Bowman, In another Cher okee county case. In this case the defendant convicted in police court at Blacksburg was sentenced to serve 30 days on the public works, but when he was placed in jail his attorneys be gan legal proceedings to have him freed on the ground that he was un der 18 years of age and such action was directed by the judge. Hereafter some other disposition will have td be made of youthful criminals in Cher okee county, according to Supervisor Lipscomb. To Destroy Stalks.
