(>ood Roads.
We wonder some* times if the tax
payers of Barnwell County are satis
fied with the present system of build
ing roads. It is costing now, in round
numbers, about $.'10,0(W) a year, and in
December we are i«v*t about where
we were the previous January-Ahat
is, we usually hav« one good stretch
of road, while the other public high
ways are in a more or less impassable
condition.

the Supervisor, but *he mistake, as we
we it, is made in building TEMPO
RARY roads instead of making them
PERMANENT.
Greenville County was spending
$85,000 annually on the up-keep of
her roads. She is now spending $25,-
0O0 on up-keep, and with the $60,000
balance she is paying the interest and
principal of a bond issue for perma
nent roads. With a bond issue of
$950,000 the county is* building about
300 miles of roads that have a smooth
hard surface and can be kept in re
pairs with a comparatively small out
lay each year. Pt>or roads have l>een
replaced with g«»od ones WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL TAXES
It has been the contention of The
People that a big mistake is made in
letting an excellent piece of road go
to pieces for lack of proper attention.
We spend something like $1,000 a
mile in constructing a sund-clay road
and by the time the chain gang re
turns to that part of the county it is
necessary to rebuild the road entirely.
What opinion Mould one have of a
manufacturer Mho bought an e\|>an-
sive piece of machinery and then al-
loMed it to go to pieces for lack of re
pairs? let that is exactly what wc
do to our roads.
Last summer the road betMeen Barn
well and \\ illiston mths as good as any
one could Mish. but for the lack of a
little attention it will Ik* necessary to
rebuild it entirely in a year or two.
Is that good business?, Would it not
be money m the treasury to pyt that
road in good shape NOW, at compara
tively small cost, tl.an to wait until it
is necessary to do the Mhole job over?'
And Mould it not be good business
judgment to Moat a bond issue for
PERMANENT ROADS' and use a
part of the $30,0(M) a year for main
tenance and the balance to pay the
principal and interest ?
I he People would bu glad to have
expressions from taxpayers along the
above lines.

We would suggest to the gentlemen
who lost their hats in Sunday’s vyind
storm that they place an advertise
ment in The People. Although they
may be in Hali-fax by this time, the
circulation of this paper is sufficient
to effect their recovery.
Another one of 'the pathetic little
episodes of real life is the way “jiffy”
