Beaufort ooanty pays only $300. less in poll taxes than does Col leton. so that a two dollar * head tax for roads should raise between $8,000 and $0,00 county. But two dollars reams a little high, and we would suggest that the amount in this county ba mads $160, which would probably yield a revenue of ait IsM $6,900. Good roads benefit every property holder and nearly evesy resident of the minty. They are absolutely neoemy to the further development of the towns as well as the country.
