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 System. That is tho purpose ol' this made to his own order at a price he Royal cral'tsman in Chicago or Now Heep down in your heart, you copied a factory made substitute Od (Mothes wearer. That envy need no longer reniaii bringing t In? best hand-tailoring We have 500 beautiful Kali am MOSS & ANS 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. $**i0mfi**m0*0im$Mm MI??
