THE PICKENS-PUMPKINTOWN
ROAD AGAIN.
Oulenoy, May 1 G.--(Special)---W'
are in the mud a;iai. This is not
a new story. We have told it before.
W have told it to our !awmakers.
We have told it to our road builders,
I supervisor 111(1 every one else who
has given us the 'ightest impression
that they have any (e- ire. 10'-h ",
ei:('oila tl 1 sl e us ir better sha~pe
in the road question. We have had
t'he good wishes of all. But what we
would appreciate mure is material
help which, united with our individ
u111 efforts. would accomplish the de
sired effeet.
No section of the county realizes
more forcibly the strenuous "hard
times" of the pa.t moliths. WhTly
should not jovisions have been
made for th( coiipletioil of this road
the s:n4 as for the 'entral-Calhoun
road?' W\'! do not like to comphain.
The people have never been an a'
1_ressvie people. Thev have aece'pt
e.d what has been meagerly han(ldd
to them in the way of road improve
ments. This has amounted to a1 lit
tle more than the worst mud holes
being filled with pine brush or rocks.
But the situation is worse than it
has ever been. The road in places
was left unevenly graded with the
slanting side toward deep ravines.
Travel over these places is less de
sir'able than thr'ough the fills, wvhere
you "'stick"' unt il you are p~ulledl out.
It is almost imlipossible to get a
doctor to venture out after a shower;
the matil man has quit using his ear;
Ithe r'ural po1 (Clicn have llaandonedC
the seection entirely. W~hat is go
inig to be done about it?
