K. Thompson til Iho meeting of the Good II oa lift Committee recently hold at Cum ilnn. While 1 lieg to ?1 i ff?-r with him on aome of his viuws I can conscientiously bay that it will be through the consolidation and in fluence ulono of ?uob men ns com posed that *^inrmittee that we may u ver expect to attain good roads in this conntv. Whv? lieoause thev te?a. I venture tho a<53ertiou that if all the roal estate owners of Ker shaw county would come together wjt.li oiio o<?n?ien}, realizing that they own the land** that compose Kershaw county, that thoy are the principal tax- pivyvr 9, tht?t the pnb lie roads are theirs by adoption, then their tenants and wage-earners would soon fall in line with thorn, all being Interested, we would soon hive good roads because we would have w>re work and less talk. Yon can not interest the tenants and wage-earners into building of pub lic iondr? unlesa you tlrst take hold yourself. Why? Hecause thov are not permanent settlers, lliey are not ut home, but they have to a largo extent composed the element ih??t lias k?*pt up tin* public toads u n lot the eld voluntary >?y?uu> foi yi'MM. Generally real estate owners are hands nil whioh accounts for it be ing a f.i re.o. Col. Thompson says abolish the voluntary system and organize h paid system. I think ihe voluntary system wil] soou abol ish Itself, if tho Coma I as loners will do tlu ir duty as the law requires it. 1 believe on.e'year hence it will lie n thinu of tho past. 0<d. Thompson further Bays: "Let iho Legislature per torn* its du.y by passing some general laws ar.d the Supervisor's Hoard of Coni jni ssjoaors will execute. that law u'Ul whatever system is rd opted we must have money to carry It out." Wo agree that it will take money to carry out any system, ' but we d"?n't think we need any olht*r eya tem ?t present except that we have. Wo don't think it ueivsaarv to pass any general laws on public road hjiildisg jut now, because they might cuulliot with the require* mouts three or five years hence* We. believe wo have all Ihu ey?tem necessary in the present oounty government laws, if it waa put in execution.
