The Couiity Board of Comnmis sioners of Pickens county have had a heavy burdon to carry thro' the present term, The begining of this term found the roads in a condition, in some places, well nigh impassable. The county fund available for road improvement was altogether inadequate to do the work alone. The legislature at the 1002 session made some~ amendments that helped temnpora, ily, but even the law now of force is not suffluient through which to do the work that ought to be done on the pubio roads of Pickens county. There is too great an in. COnsistency between the value of the number of the number of days work required of all hands liable ~or road diuty and the communta. tion tax provided for tu lieu there Of, The operation of the 'present law has resulted in this--that the '.nmdority of road hands have paid ,,theboimutation tax and the mea. I :uta realied thereby for road oemesot~ has proved. Unequal *ab80o\mo rentmromu. the roads. Through the means i t hand the Cominissionors havo mtani.god to make some imnprovo lonts and generally saved the roads from becoming worse than thoy wor. The Commissioners ha- e done well consIdoring the scant means Upon which they had to draw in the prosecution of their work. This road problem is a vital one, and porhap, tho most serious (ulo - tion our delegation in the next logisltaturo must solve. Wo think public opinion hras been oxprossed clearly on thia matter to the ex t-nt of ondorsing the present I oard of Commissioners and indic&ting that it is the wish of tho great na jority of the citizols of P'ickens cannty that thle new deg lion t ike hold of the vexingro (u stion and solve it 11a wiy that will in sur"e hettor travel ways in every secti'm of Lit' tInt.y (ioinsttitutioalitl Iiiititation is the only hilldrln' ill te Way "of thu poseof a lawtl thlnt wtill fiillt ineet the r.i(nireiinents of tis l Ounty, for what will i;uit P'iukon> mnight not Silit Clar'in<loni or Ilor ry, hnt tier must b, a way thro' which ia sutli.ieit law canl Ihe iitnale and passed, afun this thll dolegationi will uindertake to find and, finding it, we beti.ve our Son ator and ires i tativuo; will ap ply the reimediy an( give ua at roacl law that Will iring the relief w< need ail in which every citizen, irreclect iv( of t he :unnut of prop erty he owns, is inlter,cstod.
