Deai > Sir:?I notice in the last issue o your paper an interview witl Messrs. Hill and Hutto in r :ferenc< to the present road tax. I for on< voice their sentiments. In our town ship the road overseers work th< roads when it is too wet to work 01 the farm. Just as sure as ther< comes a big rain the next day th< overseer takes his team and hand! and goes on the road. I have seei three overseers in our township do ing this, and just as soon as it get! dry enough they go back to the farm consequently their work counts foj naught (except to get their pay.) liave heard a great many men speal j of the present ro^d law as being op erated a regular farce and beinj something similar to the Colletoi road law which they had a few year; ago. The old way of working so man: days during the year was far superi * or. I would like very much for Su pervisor Kearse and Capt. Kirklan< to say just how much permanen work they have found in Three Mill township. I don't believe there i: $25 worth. Then we would like t< know how much has been expende< on the roads. I will admit this hai been a wet year, but, had the road; been worked when a litle dry, the: would have showed permanent im provement. TAX PAYER. J. J. MaJoney Released. Gaffney, April 19.?J. J.
