WANTS $500,000 BOND ISSUE FOR HIGHWAYS FARMER WOULD LIKE TO SEE ANDERSON COUNTY VOTE THIS NOW GOOD RESULTS WOULD FOLLOW Permanent Highways Would Be Established and Work Given , Unemployed. 'I believe that now is the time to take up immediately the question of a bond issue for a system of public highways in Anderson County. The legislature meets next month and we could get a bill' passed there ea?ily giving the county the right to issue bonds in the Bym of from $100,000 tc, $500.000. redeemable in 40 years, at 4 1-2 per cent interest, and hold the electiph late in February or In March and havfe '-network well underway by April or May," said a prominent farmer of the county yesterday. "The issuing of these bonds in the spring of next year will accomplish two -important results; fhVt, it will be the means of at least giviug .'too county a modern, permanent and complete system of highways; find secondly, it will furnish more than enough work for all persons in the county, and especially in tbo rural districts, who may be temporarily. thrown out of work heca' 3e of condi tions prevailing. It is just the time to make a proper move to vivo ' the county a real system of good roads. "Such a sum would bo sufiiolcr.t to build from 150 to 200 miles of magni ficent permanent highway, and the amount of money now bein? spent to build temporary aud makeshift coun try roads would be more than suffi cient to maintain the new bonded system to bo thus built and to pay the Interest on the bonds. "I have talked with many farmers and quite a few business men, and I know the farmers' favor the issue. It 1b only a question of lining up the business men., While the fanner would be the chief beneficiary, all town people and especially merchants would benefit iudirectiy." Betts Did Kot Testify.
