A number of the inflbential citizens of the western section of Sumter county are promoting a movement to have the public road from Boykins Mill via Hagood, StatebUrg, Wedgefield and Pinewood to Summerton incorporated in the state highway system. This road con-' nects with high.way No. 30 at Boy-1 kins Mill and with highway No. 26 j at Summerton. It is a section of the old pre-Revolutlonary war Charleston-Camden-Charlotte highway and was then known as. the "King's High- i way." The road paasea - through a country of great historic Interest, and much of it thickly settled.' The ro^d 1a now iii good condition,.except that p*rt. between Wedgefield and Pine- j wood, through the Manchester saful hills. But even the sand hill section could be converted into a good road at no great expense. It is really one of the important highways, not only of Kershaw, Sumter and Clarendon I counties, but of the whole state, and ! should have been provided for in the pay-as-you-go state highway act. It is the shortest route between Camden aud Charleston, by way \)f the Pinckneys Landing bridge. It was this highway that was used by both the American and British armies during the campaigns of the Revolutionary war, when troops were constantly moving between Charleston,, Camden and Charlotte.?Sumter Daily j Item.
