THE MATTEN OE GOOD HOADS.
Moot his Lust Friday Was Not Large,
Hut Did Some Work..
Tho good roads meeting at the
Court House last Friday was not as
largely attended as was hoped for,
but still there waa In tho meeting
that quality that means ultimate suc
cess for tho movement In Oconee-lt
had enthusiasm, and there was
"freedom of speech."
Tho mooting was called to order
by A. P. Crisp, president of the Oco
nee County Good Hoads Association.
Tho secretary was not present at the
opening of the mooting, and Di1. .1.
S. Stripling, of Seneca, was chosen
ns assistant secretary, lu order that
the meeting might not be delayed in
transacting Ibo business before it.
Members were invited to open a
discussion as to tho heeds ot the
county in tho matter of ronds mid
to nive expression to their views as
to the best method of securing ade
quate relief from out present unen
viable road situation.
W. M. Bro xvii was the il rsi lo give
his views. lie slated that lie was
himself a farmer, and that he wanted
io call tho nttontjoil ol' the farmers of
the count.v to tho injustice they were
doing to themselves and lo the coun
ty nt largo by failure to recognise
tho importance ol individual effort
to keep tho public roads lu good con.
dillon, and ho appealed to I hom lo
stop tho system of ditching and ter
racing their lands, emptying the
ditches and terraces into the public
roads, tims making Impossible tho
keeping in good condition of the
roads, no matter how much work
might be done by the authorities. Ile
said thal he had been guilty of this,
but lind soon tho folly of it and had
quit, and Iiis idea was to gol other
farmers to seo tho matter as ho did
I willi the hope Huit they, too, would
put a stop lo it, and lend a hand at
road hu pro vonton I instead of continu
ing a policy thal was proving seri
ously detrimental. His idea was
that If Ibo far mors will quit this
practice of emptying ditches and ter
races and throwing obstructions into
tho public highways much good viii
be accomplished and much unneces
sary expense avoided.
Capt. .1. .). Hallenger, of lt ich lund,
thought Hint the only thing needed
was to get Hie COU ll ty road business
down lo a system, and he thought
.tho system necessary for tho success
of the county's business was Hie sys
tem of township supervision of all
limiters pertaining lo I he pnblh
roads, abolishing tho office of count.v
commissioner, substituting thcrofor
township commissioners, with
county supervisor to look after the
county al large.
.1. H. Pickett espoused the system
whereby each property owner should
keep In condition Hie public road
I brough or in front of his properly,
this system appealing, ho thought, lo
tho individual pride ol each citizen
along the public highway and tend
ing to create a spirit ol' competition
among thc i old owners, each endeav
oring lo have Ibo best road hy his
place.
A. II. ellison thought possibly Mr,
Pickett's plan might work, nut
doubted lt, Mr. Hallenger's plait, he
said, was unjust owing to conditions
prevailing in I he mountain SIM lions
of the county. Ho made a motion
that Hie association memorialize (he
Legislature, asking a lax levy suffi
cient lo build good roads in Hie coun
ty. The only wax lo get good roads
is to levy suniclent laxes. This mo
tion lind no second .and was never
put to a vole.
Dr. .1. S. Si Obiing favored Ce levy
ing ol' taxes by townships on the
same plan as is in vogue by school
dist rids for school purposes. Ile
was heartily in favor of higher
taxi's if necessary, and favored a hill
io authorize township taxes for road
purposes,
Hr. C. M. Walter wanted good
roads and thought eortnlnl.v lhere
vv;es some adequate remedy al hand
to soon I'd them und lo gol out ol' the
deplorable run into which Hie county
as a whole has golton. Ile died as
Instances thal good roads can be
made Hie two roads already built,
one leading from Walhalla lo Wesl
minster, Hie other from Richland to
Seneca. Ile hoped thal every farmer
in the county would lake advantage
of these two roads and travel over
them in order that they llllglll seo
and know lim great advantages they
proscill lo Hu- public at large and to
every one who lives along the road.
W. o. Hamilton favored the issu
ing ol' bonds for the purpose of build
ing roads ind thought (hal the only
leal solution ol' Ibo problem,
cited the fad that cities, corpora
tions and large business enterprises
use ibis mel hod and lind lt Hie cheap,
esl and bes!, and thought it only
reasonable to conclude thal. If il was
a good system for these business cor
poral ions it would lu- good for the
county ol' Oconee.
Hr. H. I-'. Sloan suggested the ad
visability of correspondence with the
authorities Of (hose counties and
Slates that now have model roads in
order to lind out tho system under
which they were secured, and the
cost, in order thal we might profit
by the experience of those who have
I raveled already I he road upon which
we are now entering.
H. W. Gignllllal favored Hie bond
system. Said he did mil know who
was responsible for our present con
dition, but Hitit he knew there ls
something wrong somewhere. Ho
wauled a system whereby each town
ship could levy laxes for Itself or
issue ils own bonds and have entire
charge and control of thoso tax or
bond funds ns well as of all general
levy funds raised In (hat township
for Hie purposes of roads, and
bridges. This brought, out consider
a bio objection by reason of the fad
(hal the conditions prevailing In the
mountain sections would make lt Im
possible for Ibo mountain townships
lo maintain any roads at all, and
would practically cul off their soc
Hon from Ibo county at largo.
P, P, Sullivan favored the bond
Issue as tho most practical solution
of the problem and the most econom
ical. Postorlty, he said, would un
questionably share in the benefits of
good roads, for they aro permanent,
We are not content to sit Idly

and he thought it nothing hut right
thai future generations should hear
their part of the cost of making good
roads.
NV. A. Strother favored the issn-:
lng ot' iioinls. the ti ho li lion of tho
oIllcC of county commissioner and i
tim election of a competent man to .
the ollleo of supervisor at a salary of
$1,500 a yeal'. A salary of $2,f>00
was suggested, ami Mr. Strother said !
ho had no objection. If a man want- ;
ed that salary he favored giving ll '
to him, bul give him erad i I for '
$1,000 ol' pa t riot ism. and that would j
bring tho salary up lo thc $2,500
mark.
Superintendent of klducation Wade
C. Hughs slated thal tho pinn ol'
special laxes for educational puiv
poses, levied hy vole Of HlO citizens i
Of the several school districts, was,
working admirably and resulting in |
great advantage to tho school dis-;
i riet? thal have taken advantage of
tho system, and' ho saw no reason
why the same rule should not work
with equally good results If applied
lo the mutier of publie highways.
lt was evident from the opinions
expressed that the general belief is
thal lhere must be a radical change I
in methods If anything of worth is
io be accomplished; thal the ollleo
of county commissioner is at best n
lil'th wheel thal bas long been out ol'
true, and that about ?he only thing
it is now lit for ls abolit lon,
.Memorialize General Assembly.
The association finally adopted a
resolut ion thal it was tho sense of
the body thal the (louerai Assembly
should be memorialized, asking thom
to pass an nd al Ibo next session
making it possible for the various
townships to vote on ii lax not ex
ceeding lo mills for road purposes;
thal the ofllco of county commission
er be abolisjied, ami thal UlO office
of township commissioner bo substi
tuted therefor, three commissioners
from each township in the county,
and that tho salary for each town
ship commissioner should be $100?
per annum. The provision as to vol- I
lng on extra laxes by townships is in
no way intended to interfere willi
tho p rosen I provision of tho nc!
whereby townships are authorized lo
vote bonds for I he purpose ol' build
ing permanent highways. Tho town
ship commissioners are given abso
lute control of all funds raised hy
taxation in their rospoftlivc districts,
and Hie funds ari' lo I. used, of
course, in tho districts in which they
are raised, lt was also sought lo in
corporate the provision that all
laxes for road and bridge purposes
raised under tin? general lax system
should be turned ovor io tho town
ship commissioners, and expended
only in the did rids in which they
were paid. This was I he provis
ion thai was characterized as unjust
io the mountain townships, some of
which have nulli) miles of public
roads, bul practically no com mu ta
llon road lax and comparatively
small funds raised from tho general
road lax, and Hie provision was
withdrawn, as ?I was foll thal Ibo
more thickly populated townships
should assist tho weaker ones lo
some oxton!, li was also voled that
i he ellice of county supervisor should
be placed on a salary ol' $1,200 a
year; thal the supervisor be made
responsible for all funds raised hy
the gen? ral levy for road purposes.
