FOIEYSKIDNEYCURI ^ Makes Kidneys and Bladder Right The Road Question. 1 To the Editor of the Dispatch: I am truly glad to see that you J and Mr. Reeder spoke out so plainly on the good road question, which I ? consider one of the most important questions before the people of this State. Its importance can scarcely be understood without long and careful study. If we could get the amount and cost of all of the hauling on public highways, at least from 1 one third to one half of that amount t would be the coet of bad roads. 1 HP U m m ?? 4 /I a m m a 1 1 i U <-\ t-? r\ 1% t/vl A /5 T xiicli pui uuwu an me veuieico auu ? harness broken by rough roads, with the wear and tear of the weak stock, some of us could hardly compute it, not to say anything about worry of the teamster, who are often found in the predicament of the teamster, a preacher found stuck in a bog hole. After helping him for a long time the wagon was gotten on good ground. The preacher, knowing his 1 disposition to swear, said "Bill, why is it you did not 'cues?" Well, I just saw I could not do justice to the occasion. i Our good roads meeting was a failure as to action, but there was a deal of an exchange of opinion, which I think will result in good. As to the National appropriation, we are not ready for that yet. What 1 we want and are able to make is the best road bed we can make. What 1 will it cost? An average mile can be made for ten dollars: i Ooe overseer or contractor, 3 days i Si.00 per day?$3.00. Three hands, ] * 3 days, at 50 cents per day?$4.50. } ' One mule, 3 days, at 50 cents per i day?$1 50. Total cost $9 00. ] I don't say that we can dig down 1 the hills and blast out the worst < rock places for that amount, but we | can go around them and it would ] ^ not take an experienced engineer to I do so, either. Any good level headed i man who has the courage to say j what will benefit the public and not be looking for a vote next time can do it. Now, Mr. Editor, I am sick 3 and tired of speeches that say I am opposed to your measure, but if you ^ are in favor of it and will vote for me I will support it, right or wrong, i Let us rise above that and have the manhood to say a question is right or wrong. Don't act so much I like a spoilt child. I will do any i Buy " : FALL 11II 3FEC The stock is always fresh and every sho Trade at Cohen's once and you will hi mak Cohen's Sh I 636 MAIN ST.. C i ? ' "Z"OTJE ZE3IE.A.I ihing you say if you will give me pour vote. I am advocating what I ;hink is right and will benefit all of ;he people. From one, to one and a lalf mill tax will not hurt anybody. Youre for good roads. J. H. Counts. A Card. ro the Editor of the Dispatch: I hear that some one said that I lad not been iu the Fork but one ,ime since I have been elected. I lave been over every mile of public bad in the Fork, some not more than me time; some, time after time. I iave tried to get tools in the hands )f every overseer and a copy of the oad law and have urged them to vork their roads, and I have given he bridges my personal attention vhen possible. As for the chaingang, I did not vork all of your bad roads. I went o the worst places and worked until ny time expired. I did all I could ind still stand ready to do what I ;an to put the roads in better condition. I thank the people in the Fork for their kindness extended mr. [ was never treated better than I lave been since I took charge of the Fork as my part of Lexington county ;o look after. I also have a part of ny beat on this side of Saluda and save been treated kind and cour;eou8ly. Now, as for the good roads contention at Lexington on the 20th. I was deprived of hearing but very little of the speeches, but what I can understand there were Borne good speeches made on the subject. Friends* it will take money to build good roads. How much are we concerned in crood roads'? Are we concerned as much as our manual labor on the roads or one dollar, or three dollars and so many mills on all taxable property? These questions are asked so that we can get to work and build good roads. Wind work alone will not build roads. John W. Fry. The thread of a love story usually winds up with a tie.
