order novy, would hk.i to say a few
v, oi(!h in '.if li hIF'oF good roaiTo uiiiT
how to attain thcrn in K?.r?haw
coupty.
1 will ftrnt say, however, that I
w?r? very much Increased with tho
aO drafts ft' Col \V. K. Thompson
til Iho meeting of the Good II oa lift
Committee recently hold at Cum
ilnn. While 1 lieg to ?1 i ff?-r with
him on aome of his viuws I can
conscientiously bay that it will be
through the consolidation and in
fluence ulono of ?uob men ns com
posed that *^inrmittee that we may
u ver expect to attain good roads in
this conntv. Whv? lieoause thev
te?a. I venture tho a<53ertiou that
if all the roal estate owners of Ker
shaw county would come together
wjt.li oiio o<?n?ien}, realizing that
they own the land** that compose
Kershaw county, that thoy are the
principal tax- pivyvr 9, tht?t the pnb
lie roads are theirs by adoption,
then their tenants and wage-earners
would soon fall in line with thorn,
all being Interested, we would soon
hive good roads because we would
have w>re work and less talk. Yon
can not interest the tenants and
wage-earners into building of pub
lic iondr? unlesa you tlrst take hold
yourself. Why? Hecause thov are
not permanent settlers, lliey are
not ut home, but they have to a
largo extent composed the element
ih??t lias k?*pt up tin* public toads
u n lot the eld voluntary >?y?uu> foi
yi'MM.
Generally real estate owners are
hands nil whioh accounts for it be
ing a f.i re.o. Col. Thompson says
abolish the voluntary system and
organize h paid system. I think
ihe voluntary system wil] soou abol
ish Itself, if tho Coma I as loners will
do tlu ir duty as the law requires
it. 1 believe on.e'year hence it will
lie n thinu of tho past.
0<d. Thompson further Bays:
"Let iho Legislature per torn* its
du.y by passing some general laws
ar.d the Supervisor's Hoard of Coni
jni ssjoaors will execute. that law
u'Ul whatever system is rd opted we
must have money to carry It out."
Wo agree that it will take money
to carry out any system, ' but we
d"?n't think we need any olht*r eya
tem ?t present except that we have.
Wo don't think it ueivsaarv to pass
any general laws on public road
hjiildisg jut now, because they
might cuulliot with the require*
mouts three or five years hence*
We. believe wo have all Ihu ey?tem
necessary in the present oounty
government laws, if it waa put in
execution. Our Representative*

grand total of $30,000, or us ap
proximate can be raisud with the
; ttdUitionul 1 will levator "road pur?
postw without Huy bonded mdebet

for all purpose* outside of roada
und bridges would not exceed * 1 if
000, which leaves a balanco of
1 18,000 to bfc expended aunually on
rottdH and bridge* lit addition to
work of chain gang.
This beiug the case I see nothing
in tho way hut for the Supervisor
and Hoard of Commissioners to
take hold and push the work a* tho
law authorizes them to do, and as
they are doing in oilier oouutUs.
Then our Representatives can give
fucli assistance inv legist lUSon as
the woik ^progresses.
As 'he building up c I the public
roads of our county is not n ques-i
tiop of one year, livo yeara or per- j

Judgment to raise so much money
j to start with. Go to work with the
means at Lat-.tl and inoreaso the
amount from tiano to t?me accoid

After all the roads have been |
properly worked up th?-u I will {
