There Is indeed a great contrast be
$ween the roads of the oounfcy a yea:
.ago and the roads of to-day. This wa
very noticeable during our recen
"trips with the county treasurer. Mac]
-of the roads have been sand-clayed axx
turn-piked. Roads that were almos
Impassable and over which it was im
possible to carry a reasonable load i
year ago, are now in exoeil mt condi
tion. The chaingang has done th<
best and most effective work this yeai
dfc has ever done since the organizatior
of the system in this county, and those
in charge of the gang are to be con
gratclated. Of oourse it has taker
money, but there is no better way ir
which to spend money than upon the
public highways, and there is no place
where it will be more appreciated bj
all the people, and where more people
will be benefitted by its expenditure.
There is one piece of road we want to
-ceo worked by the chaingang and that

| is the old Orangeburg road from this
place to the Cross-Boads. It would
be the best work the chaingang ever
did and we are informed that the supervisor
contemplates finishing this
piece of road some time during the
r coming year. There is absolutely 110
good roads in this section of the county
r and most assuredly the good people of
= t.hA Band hills are entitled to some
? consideration. It would have a tendency
to build up that section of the
. county and awake new interest among
the farmers and help them to strive to
greater achievements. We believe
? that the people living alon^ this high*
way would gladly aid in this work, by
hauling with teams and otherwise
helping, thus eliminating the cost to
an appreciable extent. When the
r people once become acquainted with
J tte benefits to be derived from good
* roads there will be no doubts as to the
J improvement of our roads. Another
' piece of road that needs attention?and
t we understand this work will be done
" at an early date?is the Augusta road.
* There is only a small distance of this
* road between Lexington and Leesrille
3 that has not been clayed and this
r should be completed at the earliest
1 possible moment. Let everybody pull
5 together for better roads.
i 1
i It is to be hoped that the people of
> Lexington will continue to take more
> interest in the keeping up of the public
' highways. Great progress has been
i made during the last year, and if the
same effort is kept np it will not be
> long before Lexington can boast of as
good roads as any county in the state.

Congressman Lever 3
Congressman A. F. Lever left on "<

of rest during the summer, having '
