I appreciate your public spirit in opening your columns for the discussion of how to obtain good roads. Can't you make the people see that good roads are economy in the long run. They make for happiness in the promotion of sociability, and prosperity in the facility with which business may be conducted, and these two make for long lives. If automobiles are to be taxed for the upkeep of roads, which is the custom here, why should not other vehicles be taxed also? While I am not a resident of Lexington county at present, I own a little land there, and would welcome a tax on it for the purpose of building ! good roads. j Truly yours, | ANNIE S.
