Some of the Many Reasons 1
Why Good Roads Would
Help Town and Country.
Mr. Editor: There is a cry
all ever tho county for better!
roads. Our merchants want to,

town and their cr ps to market.
The gov* rnnent r q nr. s ihe
roads to bo good for the rural
mail carriers. Every m m w ho
travels onr roads in a busrgy or
w-a~o i wan'8 to see onr toads
made bet er.
It wili have our Steele and our
buggies and wagons and shor en
the time in travel, and increase
the p ie > of our lands. It will
make he conn: i\< moie i' dependent
and prosperous an l a better

v . . UI1U yj t- L'lUV
have neg'ected lh ir dut They
have 11 .t boon interested in ? ur
roads as they should have be n.
Instead ' f working our nn' lie
roads le*s than c.no day a year,
as taken fro n a former gr md
jury's report, our supervisor
slioul' lir.ve seen to it t1 a* four
or six days v\ovk ay -ar h ui boen

But let the | a t go?ve mil '
have be'ter roads in the lu'u o?
v.o a'o to have th?m.
F.r.t, we must get a sup r
visor that is in eres'ed in our
r ?ads, and is willing to Jo lus
j i __ fin- ?
amy. in.s we i eiiove hs absolutely
neeessry. And injustice
to all our superviso:s of tlie p ;st
ten years wo would say I hoy
have all been good men, but
poor R > ul Supervis >rs. They
liavo been too good and easy to
make the road overseers work.
Now what we want and what
we hope to have in t.tio next election,
is a new man for supervisor?one
that i* intere-ted and
prepared to givo us belter roads,
and is willing to pledge his word
_ l i /*? ? '

our overseer*? v ill not wor!: un
less wo get u new man.
Second, wo want to seo our
county spending somo money
digging down our hills and filling
in our hollows and macadamizing
tho same. Nearly every ,
prosporous town in the South is
doing this, and Lancaster can do
this too. If we can get enough
men to put their heads togother
on this and pull straight, in the
collar we will get it. VVe voted
out the dispensary and we are
trying to knock < u- t'e bucket

hands in our p< ck*and wail. |
Til 're is a Greek i r ?veib: "G d :
only h dps those who are wi'li <;
to help ll em eives," and jf we
wish state or naliond hdp we
must first show that we a re in

are willing to l.e!:> ourselves.
Mr. Editor, you nrght ;ul 1 I .mi

the?but what i do wan , i> lo
see better roads and our coun'ry
more pro^porous.
