Seldom does there come to individ uals an opportunity such as is now presented to Supervisor J. O. Griffiri and Commissioners Smoak and Platt to make good in their official capac-1 terboro onsalesday ity. This opportunity comes in con- QUEST10N OK GOOD ROADS. Doubtless there are many of our * people who do not fully realize the very great advantages of good roads. This is by far the most important question now before our people for solution. In truth, many of the other questions await a solution of the good roads problem. Let us briefly examine a few of the benefits of having good roads: 1. As an aid to good schools. With good roads it is possible to consoli date many of our weak schools under good teachers. 2. Better churches will result. With a good road leading to the church there would be more church goers and more services. 3. Improved community life. The dreadfu 1 isolation and feeling of lone- linesa would disappear if neighbors were connected with good roads, and there could be more social life and consequently less of the dissatisfac tion found among residents of rural communities. 4. Economy of labor and vehicles. One team with good roads could do the work of several. Buggitt and wagons would last several times as long, to say nothing of the comfort T ^ to man and horse. The above are a few of the bene fits that would accrue from goot roads. Everyone should, therefore join hands in the good roads move ment, and never stop till the high ways of Colleton county are really avenuts of communication. Colleton county.

Will they do ^uty ®nd btote aforesaid, contain- it? We trust they will. Let us see how it can be done. In the first place the new law provides for a centralization of the road work-, ing forces of the county. Under previous laws this was not possible, | the same to Isaiah Young, but the money to be used for road Terms of sale cash.

Also by five acres allotted to Robert Young and to under numerous untrained overseers. The new law does away with this and gives a trained road builder exclus ive charge of the road work of the county. This is the common sense plan. \ Master. February 12, 1910. Umiei ohn O.

C., cn Monday, WHAT CONSISTENCY! Recently we had occasion to go in to the office of one of the leading merchants of Colleton County, a man who has the good of the county at heart; who has made numerous sug gestions to us as to work we could do to build up the county; and who haa preached against our people’s wast ing their substance in patronising mail order houses, etc., etc. We are glad he made theee suggestions, and that we have followed them ia an evi dence of our desire to work together with such men in building up our county and improving conditions therein. Now this gentleman believes in the power of a newspaper to promote just such work as this, and he knows that the stronger the paper is finan cially the better it wiU he able to work for the upbuilding of every in terest that needs support, and the more it can improve itself, thus in creasing its field of usefulness. He knows also that a country newspaper hai but three sources from which to make a ’Tiving,” viz; advertising, subscriptions and job printing. Knowing this, we were surprised to see that this merchant wrote his let ters on paper printed at St. Louis-a mail order house. When he took a note from a customer, it was on a blank printed by Barnard Co.-a mail order house. When he sent a bill to a customer who patronized bim, it was on a mail order houaebill bead, and in an envelope bought trim the government at Washington —a mail order house. Now it this fair?; Is it right? Is It good burinesB? Of cobrae we believe in patronizing home industry, believe in it for the worth of improved road machinery. The antiquated methods will be rele gated to the rear. The new law forbids work of a temporary Wind, but provides that the work done shall be of a perma nent nature. This is good. If only ten miles be built in a year, let that ten miles be built for a hundred years. The Act has been approved by the Governor and is now law. The ex pert road engineer must now be cm ployed and the machinery purchased, then work will begin on a road lead ing out from the county seat to the line between this and an adjoining county. Then another in opposite direction; then another at right angles, and another. Amen! The road engineer will have at his disposal, subject to the supervision of the supervisor and commissioners, about $20,000 and the entire chain gang.
