Our good friend, the Woodruff News and Herald was in line humor tin other day: it Just felt good and want ed to make other people reel good. Maybo it had just heard Mr. Hurgder ? pijyi Our Trie- ! cci'ipiltiii it d i' :? visor Humbert of this eeuiiiy: we i? to add that hi oitr opinion, Lauren's county ims one of the best sujiervlsors in the state, hud in* is deserving of the very highest praise. Th" News and Herald say..: ".Six months ago one could hear o:t all sides in I.aureus county, complaints from farmers ami others about tin- bad roads of the county. Hut no longer I can the people of I.aureus have a right to kick about the conditions of, their roads. The supervisor of Lau rens county has handled the situation well, and now his roads are in good coudit ion." Most heartily do we endorse the statement, "the supervisor of Laurens county has handled the situation well", In fact, the way he handled the situ ation alter the August floods last year was marvelous. And furthermore, the way lie handles nlliairs of the county all the time, with the limited means at his disposal Is a still greater mar vel. Hut. we cannot agree with our con tetnpnrary that there is no room for kicking in this county on the condi tion of the roods. Taken as a whole, we doubt seriously it' the roads in this county are in as good condition as those of Anderson and Greenville and possibly Grectiwood; ami there are places in this county where the roads ar? in terrible state. Why? ThO reason is simply lack of funds. Ahd roads in I.aureus county cannot he j ut in a permanent good condition until a special tax is levied or a bond Issue made. It takes money to build ' road--, and the taxpayers will have to bear the burden. Put we hear the cry ;?.( once: "Taxes are already too liigli." We admit that they are high, very lilgh. Ptil did you 0V< r calculate the tax that every tann er pays on bad roads. The wear ami tear of his Wagons ihe necessity of us Ing four mules when two Should suf fice, the low valuation of his lands OtC. A piece of property situated on a gobd mr.Cadnill road is tar more val ttabl ? thai! one 'way off in the woods, which may bo j'enchetl only by nil al most impassable road. What Is the cost of limiting your cotton to town. Mr. Farmer? i?id you evor figure it out? Why not apply business princi ples to this JtlSt as tho merchant cal culates fr< |ght on his goods before he buys ihoiu. The excess cost of haul ing cotton, the unnecessary amounts paid every year, will macadamize the roads of the entire county in three or four years. Why not study the matter of roads* Why llfetOll to tho time-set vlntr politi cian who Mies to catch the ear of tho people by his tirades against taxes? Laurcilg county is making meat strides every year, and yet this enormous drain on the wealth of the people keeps up. What plan has the hoard of coun ty commissioners to ?fter? If the peo ple of the county enn be saved a few the. sand dollars every year, why Isn't It done? ? ? ? SHOOTING RED BIRDS. A news article on another page tells of some boys in the V at's milts neigh borbOOd who the other day killed a red bird, contrary to the laws of the state. Such practices should by some means he stopped. As suggested by the citizen who re ported the matter, the people Will have to assist the oillrors In the matter. This may well he done by the Audubon society. We understand that Mr. .1 no. F. Holt of this city is a member of this society, but whether or not there Is a complete organization here, we do not know; if not. now is a very oppor tune time. Members of the society need not Appear as prosecutors: the action may be taken on the testimony given by members and said members may appear as witnesses. Thero Is absolutely no good to re sult in continually writing about ?uoh mattters as this; action Is necessary. Hoys will learn the lesson only one way and that 18 to haul them U|) before tho mayor. Then ami only thou will tht-y learn better than to violate tho law s. What say you. Mr. [Jolt? You ar? a 'neinobr ol tho Au?ubon >o?-;.-'.-. and in suggesstlon from yon will be appre ciated.
