It is generally understood that the :wly elected deleijation to the Leglature is favorably inclined toward gislation looking toward the peranent improvement of the main ghwaya of the county. This iacliition on their part will doubtless >ceive the endorsement of the best tizens of the county. What form le legislation will tiike has not yet sen publicly declared by any of the slegation, though it is believed that le provision for a bond issue is sing favorably considered. Numerous inquiries made of peole from all parts of the county mvince us that they are ready ? t * .

The old antagonism againsl the bond for road improvement" is dying out rapidly and ft is safe to pre diet that the majority of property owners ox the county are wwinfl right now to provide' in this mannez for road improvement. Opinion varies as to how much Laurens County, could afford to spend on roads without putting ax unfair burden on any property holder. It u recognized that a sun only large enough to build three oi ? ?Mn4?k iviu mwiii xuauo. nvuiu wv*v u?u mmvc without providing commensurate conveniences to.a luge number of people who, on account of location, would not benefit by the expenditure. For all sections of the county to benefit by the road building, the expenditure must be large enough tc provide a system of reads serving all sections. All the main arteries ol the county must be improved. Two hundred miles of improved roadi would doubtless serve the county according to the present accepted idea as to the proportion of roads to be improved. At $1;600 per mile we would have $300,000 to raise. Would it be Wiser to raise thia gradually by direct tax and expend the money as it is raised or by a bond issue Should we attempt the job by piece-meal or cleap it up in a couple of years? To attempt to build permanent roads gradually by direct taxation we would have a Now Paid for WhatF No brighter, no more capable than j<n llZ^ t- ? ax HVO? no 4UUK IUO f/ |flVTMM 200,000ovenrorket!, underpiiiJyoung i Dtaoghon Ctmwc of Boring?
