Platt is reported as having said that Colle ton County dfies not need a road en gineer and he is not in favor of em ploying fine. -We trust that 'Mr. Platt has been misquoted, for it is hard to conceive of *tn intelligent, observing man in Colleton County who d(H*s not s*v on every hand evi dences of the necessity for employ ing a trained road builder to have charge of road work in the ct unty.. But that is neither here nor there It is uaek'ss now to raise the point that a road engineer is not needed. 1} comes a little late. Mr. Platt’* ouinjon, nor anyone else’s, for that nr liter, cannot have any weight just n< w. The m«U«r has passed beyond tl e point of opinion govetsinfr. The Legislature, both Senate and tfo?*, pas*d a law which provides that a J' 0 *d * n Eineer shall be employed, at U^same time repealing all other lahra governing road working in Cob Mon County. So It is tip to the so- and county commkwkmers te the law. They are not maker* their duties are simply toicarry out the laws as laid down on tlje statute hooks, if this is a bad h^v, theirs is not the responsibility (But Supervisor Griffin and Corn* Smoak have both expressed themselves as in favor of carrying oit the provisions of the new law— and they are a majority of the board. We trust, therefore, we shall see something done speedily to carry out t^e new road law. Till the engineer it cho«en there is little that can be dime legally in the way of road work -no claim for over $. r »can lx* paid. ’ Meanwhile, the weather is good fkr road work. t ■.
