Especially i* this true in au agricultural country, where, unlike a unuiug ot maimb.c tuiiug community, the production is distributed over the entire area. In cider to stimulate production, of m hatever character, to the ut most, every producer must be eu Mbh d toexcluuge bis products{witti- out consuming bis profits in uum-c rs-sry transportation, whcln r M arises from bad roads or exhorbi taut road taxes. To attain this end the ro.;ds must be so located, con strue ed and maintained that the interest on th - cog- of con traction, plus the cost of mair teuance, plus the cost of acti al transport a'i'n, shall be a minimum This princi ple governs every successful rail way and turnpike; and making a more liberal provision for growth of traffic, etc, than private capital would be justified in doing, it should be as rigidly applied to the public roads. Any departure from it, however magnificent or cheap the construction, indicates neither pro grtssnor economy* but extiava- gaat ignorance or neglect. The Celebrated roads of Rome are no', as generally connected, monuments of engineering, but merely of lavish wealth, and of the characteristic Roman «‘es|»otism. And the toads oi Boutb Carolina, on the other hand, are not, ssmaiiy would doubt less say, monuments of economy, but really a far iron- extravagant policy thm that that pursued by tbe Romans. And on a merely su perficial examination, the urgent necessity tor a change becomes ob viona. Tbe<oada ol this and neighbor rog Stales are the worst in the civ - llized world. They are remarkable for the niter lack of scientific prin ciple* displayed in their location, •onatraction and maintenance- In deed, it would be difficult to devise a more expensive system of trails- portutinu. This fact is so painfully evident to all who have ever been, beyond the limits of towns th>t it is necessary to discuss it furth r The anuual traffic ofthe public rondi^of this State is estimated at 13,GOO, '"o tons; this is hanl d for an average Ui 'arc of net b-ss ihan five miles, anil . ♦ an average cost of ceitainly not les than $1 per ton, making the entire co.d to the people fur hnuli-g the products to market or to the railways $3,500, 000 pet y« ar. The 1 iw provide- as I shall pn seu ly show, that almai 200,000 men shall work o-i the roeds net lees than tluei* nor more than twelve d tys per year ; upsam ii.g that eaclt man works five days, and valuing his time at seventy- five cents per day, wo have 8750,- 000 as the present annual cost of maintenance. This, it is true, like all other iiidticct taxes, is uot gen erally real x d by t^e people, but it ia no less a tax ou that account; indeed, when the people are snm- neids ii mooed trout their fields in the busy season, it ofn n amounts to much moie more than this. Neglecting the interest on first cost, we have for the total cost to the Stale for wagon tran-t ortation $4,250,000 per year On our present roadt the average load per horse is less than 1,000 ponuda, while on the best earth roads it is therefore the same twice the work in the same time and at the same cost, and with greater comfort. On each reads, therefore, the present traffic conhl be conducted for 81,750,000 per year ; the annual cost of maintab iug such roads would not exceed, as at present, $750,00.t. We have, therefore. $2, 500,000 as the total cot to the State ol tiarispor at iou over the besteaitb loa-ls, agaiust $4,250, 000 which is now spent; or an an- tual saving ot 81,750,000, which capitalized at 5 p -r cent, gives $35, 000,000, or at 7 jar oenf. 825,000, ^000, which emmetjiv would Justrty beit/g slant to bring the roads to this condition, lius would give about $1,000 p r ture, which is tar tabre than would lie needed ; in fact, as 1 shell attempt to show, $10,000,000 or less wd 1 be siiflicieut. This leaves then $15,000,000, or, at 7 |»er ceut., $1,050,000 per year, net profit to the State iiom the invest ment. A similar dim u-.-ion of Me A dam, Tellord and paved roads would doubtless |»r veequally iu^ resting, t-nug the State as a whole probably Tnerc at« ring the road la -, s and systems in operation lu other conntiies and State*, and vaiion* modifications w hich have been suggested, 1 submit the lol lowing as an outline of the most piacticable plan foi improving the road* which c-iu be adopted in Sooth C rohua at present: As a preliminary step to refoim, the present road law, a remnant of teml/ih.sm and a disgrace to our civ il Ziilicu, must be repealed. This law provides that every able bodied m in, between the ages of 16 aud 5d. must Work on the public toads, or furnish a substitute, for uot le*s than th ee nor more than twelve days per y eer. exempting, however, pr-adicrs doctors, t«-ach. rs, stu dent*, railroad empoyees, those living within the limit* of ineoipor att d towns, and various oilier class es; and that the County Commis- stoiieis shall appoint in each to vn ship a road superintendent, who, withitui pay, is to have entire charge <d the roads of his territory, lie slntl divide Ins roads into con venient i-ectious, aud place each in charge ol uu unpaid overseer, whose cuty it eball be to summon the citizens, on orders from the su- peiiutendeut, and direct their work. The mere statement of this law sho i d be sufficient to insure its re peal ; yet it has stood ou our stat u'e books sine.; the earliest colonial days. Whea enacted it may have been demanded by the necessities ol the times; but to day it st iuds utterly without justification. Tin- first great objection to it is that it is the most flagrant class disci imin- atiou. It imposes the entire bur deu on the farm laborer, exempting practically everybody elsi-; aud it taxes them alike, rich ami poor, without regard to the benefits de rived or ability to bear taxation ; tbe poor laborer, who owns ueitner horse nor vehicle, pays tbe same tax as bis rich employer, who oper- ales coustantly a dozen wagons ; rich railrn. d corp rations are ex empted from maintaining what are really branches, extoi siou and feed ers of their lines ; ibu fortunate in habitants of the towns are exempt because they maintain a few mdes of street, while their country* neigh bor, upon whose farm their biisi ness depends, bears tbe whole bur den. Wbyuotexea.pt them tiom all taxation because they maintain a municipal covernmeulf But the injustice of the law, out rageous as it is, is uot the on'y ob jection to it. After a fair trial it bus been abandoned by nation af ter nation and Btate after State, until it is confined almost entirely to the Siuthem United States;an ! after the fairest tri,.l hr;e for more than 100 years it has tailed e ni-e- ly to accomplished lire end for w hieh it was ennctevl, viz , to keep the roads in good condition, and therefore it ahou'd La- at once abol ished. Had cur forefathers t-x< r cised their usual sagacity they would doubtless have forseen this i. evita ble result of its long continued op rration, an I have sought some remedy. It is very true that the force for which the law provides, if f itbfully and in'elh, eutly appind is sufficient to keep ti e roads in a first-class couduiou. The roads working population of the Bute is estimated at 200,000, which would give one man to about every 000 feet; and three to twelve days faith ful work w ould, 1 believe, keep this in good order. But it is too much to exptct that the County Commis sioners, road superintend nt and overseers, who know no mote abont road making than about any other profession, shall, without pay, study and underst uid the physical, me chanical and economic problems which aiise, and faithfully and ii» telligt r tly ib-sign and execute all improv men's. And no u o e is it lobe expected that the cuiz-ns, 2,000 pounds; aunitnoned from their fields, poorly team can do equipped and under conditions which make discipline impossible, tha-l lender the same service as paid, experienced and disciplined road laborers. Having repealed (he d -n of road auiteinncu according I to bmeft's ibr.v. d, audit certain ly impose* the burden where it wilt be least fell. Furlhelm .re, it is a t 'X which can alw.iy* be C dieeted, w hi h cinnot be s tid ot tbe pretu n; aVsiem of ciiizeii la*a>’. And with the mo- ey c«»l ected work can al way*, by t"e eiioloy ment of skilled labor ami the use «>l impioved im- ph-ui -uis, tic proitecu ed more eco nomic illy. As *oon a* the County Engineer on lb - r<.ati* of the average county would be amply sufficient to devel op them into Gr*t class earth roads.

This estimate should include the following items: 1st. The reduction of all grades to a maximum of one in twenty, over which a horse will draw tor a shot l distance his maximum load of tbe first yen’* work by dividing the toads iuto sections of atmut five nr.ies, and placing each m charge of one good man, making him di redly feapouMble, aud in additio < keeping one or mote “floating remain-1 squads,”prov ided wiib mules,carts, laborers rollers, ploughs, e:c , to do heavy work. This system of constant watching and patching hi* been tried with su. cess ou roads of light traffic in bo h Fiance and England. Bnt whatever the particular svsiem of la!>or employed, if the work is faithfully and intelligently perform ed aud supported, it will not tie loi g belote South Caroliua will have the best of earth roads.

This squad could, no doubt, by working 3(H) days, put th« avi rage 19 miles in a thoroughly good condition. In applying thi* statement it must tie remembered that the toads are not marly so bad oontinuotsly, or tr m a mechanical po ut of view, as tb .y are to eflect, or fiom an economic itoint of view. They are, except perhaps in the coast hii 1 Alpine regions, made upofsttetoa- es, a mile or mote in length, of really g ml road; except for minor irregularities separated by a haif mile, more or less, of steep hills, gullies, sand beds, or J>ogs, winch render the roads, considered as a whole, almost as bad a* if the good Niivtche did i ot e in.idnuc all the 0 i ins ore Inti ;rd fir the worst and nut iin* b*-'t pile**. When we c nne io consider improvements, bo" ever, these, good ai retches be* come an important item.

In this discussion I have pur. posetv omitted all considerations except those which can be express ed in dollais and cents; there are others, however, equally important, which must not be overlooked, and a few of wh ch I will attempt to briefly state. It is agreed by all authors ou the subject, and confirm ed by experienc , that even in a thickly settl'd eon itry, any great improvi meet in ibe toads is follow ed by a corteq. n-iiog increase ot pnniuctioa. i'Ue recently publish> ed sta emeiit *.f th • govern uent en gineer in charge of our rivers atid harbors that every duller spent in river improvement in Boa h Caroli na develops a comm tee ot 825, ap plies with the same lorceto these equally important avenues of trade.

Hmee 1 tlriek it is safe tosay tb,.t every dollar this w y wnl bring tn ten from the North ; furthermor , every cent si*ent is ke;.t in ctr* ulatiou in the county which appropiiates it. And lastly, the time, eoubnt and pleasure cf travelers is a co sirlera- tiou nor to be overlooked. Action .it tills matter -iinst be Oommcuct-d oy the Log siaiure, and no better oppoitantly than this will ever be offered to our law-mak ers to confer a lasting benefit upon their constituents.
