i!>21, at 0:15 P. M. Upon examination
1 found an incised wound, left
leg, almost midway betSveen knee and
ankle. This wound was inflicted by
a sharp instrument, both bones of leg,
tibia and fibula, being cut in two. Decansed
had lost a good deal of blood.
Wounds were treated anticepticafly,
To-sh wound closed by sutures, fractured
bones adjusted, limb placed in
splint. On account of gangrene developing
below wound and general
.~;cepticasmia developing it was necessity
to amputate wounded limb below
knee and above wound inflicted. November

on November 20, 1921. Dero.asod
died on December 23, 1921, at
7 o'clock P. Al.. death being due to
.septicaemia resulting from wounds
received on November 20. 1921. At

BUCKS TOWNSHIP
MAKES PETITION
Presents Lengthy Argument
Showing Reasons for
Asking New Road
TWO OF MEMBERS ; : " i
PASSED ON IT
Citizens Claim Bond Issue Was
not Applied in Bucks
Township
(Continued from Last Week.) >
2.?Curves, we understand, increase
1 Iio cost of road building; we a^k due
eonxideration be given this; only four]
small curves in the six miles from
Conway to Greenwood and a straight
course from there on, while the old
road, as we are informed, has curves
every 1,800 feet, tlu^ longest straight
stretch being one mile ne;.ir Conway.
3.?We are informed that there will
Ne no fills, no cuts and no bridges on
the Greenwood route, the only cost
being claying and ditching, and our
information is that there need be no
ditching from Conway to Evergreen,
a distance of five miles, except possibly
1 ,S00 feet beyond the Melson
place, while on the old route, in order
to give the road the required width,
jour information is that a ditch on
each side of the road the entire route
will have to be filled up and new ones
cut; and in this connection we call
the board's special attention to the
heavy fills and necessary bridges at
Hear Swamp at Big Branch, at Halfway
and at Cowford on the old route.
It may be said that the board can
temporarily put in yvooden bridges,
but the board is well aware of the
fact that if state or government aid
be later grafted on thi-; highway they
will require the erection of concrete
bridges under government specifications
at all of these points, while none
will be necessary on the Greenwood
route.
()bject ions
The following have come to our attention
as being objections that the
board has to the establishment of the
Greenwood route.
First, they have no money. We
take it that the board intends to build
whichever road it builds largely with
the chaingang and with county funds.
The chaingang must be supported
wherever it works and we argue that
its work will not be .any longer on the
Greenwood route than the old route.
'Plio mnno\' f nrnivliofl out of
our taxes and the greatest number of
taxpayers will got the direct benefit
from the Greenwood route. It is
hoped of course, that state or federal
aid will be granted. We fail to see
why this cannot be used on one route
?.s well as the othej-. Furthermore,
we have been informed that out of
H"?e $200,000 bond issue, none of Which
Buck-; township has had, $20,000 was
.appropriated for a highway through
Bucks. They haven't got it as yet.
We know not where it has boon spent,
if spent, but Bucks is entitled to it,
ov its equivalent, and if spent there
't should be so spent as to be of great<t
benefit to th<* greatest number of
her people. A glance at the map will
show' this.
Second.?But it is said that we
have six miles of new nni tj? bujjel
from Greenwood to Klondyke or the
Moore place, but other conditions being
equal, we fail to see the force of
this a:\gument, when the chainr.ing
u-ed for the work. The proposed
' veenwood route wi'l use approximately
two miles of new road, which
>> board contemplates now cutting
from Conway to the Quattlebaum
"lace for th^ old route, and will use
the roadbed of the <>M route from
ivlor.dyke on to the river. We fail
to see why the straightening of an
ild ] <) dbed. the filling up of ditches,
the cutting of new ones and the renova!
of fences will not be just as
expensive .as "blazing the trail" of a
new road through woodlands and
fields on which the rights-of-way have
already been granted. But what of
it, if it should cost more? The people
have been and are paying the cost,
and if more money is neeueo u must
come out of them, and they want the
benefits.
Third.?The objection is made to
having* to clay the Greenwood road
from Conway to Greenwood, a distance
of six miles, and the unavailability
of suitable clap along this
route. While it is an engineering
proposition we fail to see the force of
argument that it will cost more to
clay this route than it will to make
the cuts and fills and curves necessary
to following the old road by
Toddville. And in this connection we
call the board's attention to anothei
fact of engineering, to-wit, that a
road with a sand foundation, when
properly clayed, drains better and requires
less upkeep than does a road
with an entire clay foundation.
Fourth, Drainage.?The most talkedof
objection we have heard to the
Greenwood route is that you meel
with a.great drainage proposition. A
cursory glance# at the soil map wil
show undisputedly that the natura
course of the swamps and bays thai
do not empty into the Pee Dee an
toward the Waccamaw River, indicat
ing unquestionably that the poin
at which they begin is higher thai
the point to which they are making
I ho old route runs along the edge <>'
the river, which is the outlet of al
these swamps and bays, while th<
new or Greenwood route, we have beci
informed, and we think the soil ma]
will show, runs along the waterlim
between the Poo Dee and the Wacca
maw Rivers, and*to the west of th<
Greenwood route are bays and swamp
making up and running into the Pe
Dee Iliver, while those to the east o
this route run into and across th
old route into the Waccamaw Rivei

THE HORRY HERALD. CONW
We have no way of knowing-, noi
as .he hoard, thd relative altitude of
he two routes, as we understand nc
evels have been taken. All the
>oard has is the inspection it made,
\nd this of necessity is not certain,
>ut our information is that it cannot
be questioned, but that the road from
Conway to Greenwood is higher from
he standpoint of 'sea-level than any
jpoint on the old route, and the route
Greenwood to Klondyke or the
Moore place, going to the left of
Cowfrxrd, is equal in height from a
drainage standpoint, to the old road.
It is true that it looks flat, and the
board has l,?een informed of the marvelous
P.^ltyng and carp catching in
certain ditches adjacent to the Greenwood
route, indicating the backwaters
the Pee Dee River sobbing the territory
through which we :isk the. road
to he built, but the board must recall,
granting: that these marvelous tales
are true, and they are disputed, that
this territory has been without drainage.
without roads and without opening
up < since the foundation of% the
county, while the old route has been
traveled down to the big mill centers
of Rucksville, Bucksport and Port
JT.nrrelson, along well defined highways,
well ditched, and by the county.
and has had the opportunity of
this drainage for this many years,
hut regardless of this we take it that
before the board can justly claim the
expense of the relative routes it
would he forced to have levels taken
and estimates made.
Wo are told, and we have not had
it disputed, that this larj.ro body of
taxpayers in lower Bucks township,
adjacent to Greenwood and Pawley
Swamp, all of whom now use the
Greenwood route, have never had any
work done on their roads by the county
except ,'i six weeks' use of the
chainvang a few years ago, and that
use they received after agreeing* with
Hie county commissioners that they
would eed and guard the chaingang,J
free of expense to the county, all of I
which hey did.
All they ask is consideration?they
are many in number. They lvive
borne the burden of taxation for
these many years; have watched their
money go into improved highways
throughout the length and breadth of
their county, without a murmur,1 but
now that the board has wisely seen
fit to spend some of their money with
them, they ask that it will be spent
where it will do the greatest good to
the greatest number. While the old
route highway improved would benefit
the county, yet these people at
Cedar Grove, Greenwood, Pawley and
intermediate points would get no
benefit therefrom, and they fail to
see the justness of their tax money
going into a highway parallel to the
river and only a few miles therefrom,
when practically the same cost will
leave those benefited by the establishment
of the old route, with .already a
well defined and improved road, with
their water transportation, while the
opening of the new or Greenwood
route would bring prosperity to a section
which has heretofore had to work
cu* j*s own salvation, and will put
one of the greatest arteries of travel
thro1 vh a section than which there is
ro "-"eater need.
Some have heatedly cried "Taxation
without representation," but our
only cry is, give us a hearing; give
fu!! consideration to the needs of our
sectio i, and we will be satisfied.
Respect fully submitted,
