Richlautl county votes today upon'(1,nn
the question of issuing two million ,asl
dollars of good roads bonds. A few *:I n"
years ago one would have been con- ">ai'
sidered crazy to go into Richland j'ie
county and talk about spending t>\r'of w
million dollars on roads, but time-1 '1:1'n
have changed, and there is little, if *
any, doubt that the issue in Richlar. 1
will carry today by a large majority. j
People have come to realize tli ?t go al ,na<1'
roads are not an expense but one of J r*w
the best dividend-paying investments by a
known. Anderson county recently | and
voted $1,450,000 and a dozen other i Ploye
counties have voted bonds in lessor j "Porli!
amounts in order that good roadsj blent
may be possible. In all, perhaps ten r?ma
million dollars of road bonds have vv^ek
been voted in South Carolina since begin
the first of the present year, and this pl'sln
is only a beginning. will,

where there are good roads. out b

scheme hv/which we mav have the ti.
