VALUE OF GOOD ROADS. I Classes Benellted--Some Practical Suggestions. 3r County Record:? is gratifying to al! who have 5<>r i been cognizant of public roads , public road systems, to note the spread interest now being manid. obably no other cause is so much >nsible for this newly aroused j ition as the introduction of tho ( mobile?and possibly this one' ?r is more potent than all others, >jned (tj^d if so this speaks vol-. \ for the "machine)". Good i are not needed, however, for mobile use alone, n< >r do the use- < ss of good roads end when they ^the purpose of great highways 1 fiffic, although this is primarily j function and the origin of their! ence; but the position occupied , le highways of a county is so ( -related with the social and po- i 1 economics that the latter can j Lttain an advanced normal de- j >ment without an equivalent an-: lent or contemporaneous exist-, of the former. No community! reaches a high state of culture refinement and remains so for tppreciable length of time withhe existence of good roads, ould some rural community find about to verge upon such a and its highways had not al1 been brought to a correspondlegree of perfection, the first deration of such a community i be the improvement of its v, and assuming the impractity of that, the entire progress-, ement would emigrate and the ! jramunity crumble into decay.'' is really remarkable that our eople have s<> long tolerated ! of this section when the ! fij^Rr their impro\?ement were ^^Bnd easily within reach and ^^ Ithas been thoroughly j B^Bed by practical road enpopularized through the office of Public Roads t B m, that excellent coun-!

It is jM^Bry to employ any other ( t Knfl ilirur nnr liter uuiivuiif, v?* VMA , but it does require special ' ications on the part of the < builders, and hetvin lies the ] important consideration in all 1 i.

[It may be 1 however, that one county in; I Carolina was so liberal in this i alar as to pay an expert $10,i see that $10,000 was properly ^ yred on the roads]. For these . s it would be well if our counC vould select supervivors for j jusiness acumen and executive , and empower them to en- ! the assistance of a road engi- ( i planning a system of roads, I the construction of same. ndidatesfor Legislature would owed with interest in anything ^ sty along this line.

I Editor County Record: ? As the law now stands we have j about as much lien law as we ever, have had. The farmers can never manage labor until everything that looks like the lien law is wiped off i the statute books. All that any worthies.- negro or white man has to ; 3o is to tell the merchant that he is f aroing to plant cotton and he wants i some advancements and the mer-1 ,,,,11 z?ll KJn-i trt nrn ah^ad and !l JliAUL Will 4A711 xjj ill v*/ v ^...v ..v. ?et what he wants, and as soon as the cotton Ls up he will take a mortgage on it. He is afraid to put him jff for the reason that he may go to some other merchant and he will 1 lose him. The merchant will feed j tiim until about June or July and j: irop him, thinking that he has a j' mortgage on the cotton. The cotton 11 was planted very likely and got up; 1 that clears the fellow of the debt; it * doesn't make any [difference about 1 working it. He has nothing at stake f ?no reputation.no crop or property 1 ?but has been fed for about six 1 months for nothing. He will go to ^ some lumber company and make out I the balance of the year until time to jpen another lien. In this way he is 1 Kept out of the man's field that is trying to make an honest living and < would make something if he had 1 my chance. 1 I am in favor of our candidates for ' ;he Senate and Representatives com- 1 ng out openly and saying how they stand in The County Record, as < :here are so many people that never 1 ?et to these campaign meetings, and 1 n case they should fail to do this ( ;he people can put this question to < :hem at the campaign meetings. 1 Yours respectfully, 1 S B Gordon. ;1 Lenud, August 11. 1 A Fair Proposition. l Every man, woman, boy and girl iesires a wheel.

U/.ti- rrroot o ?ntv if tc thof nvn\ vov u piij ik io kiiuw uviiiv one did not wake up "Voter" twelve months ago. Just another Rip Van Winkle around. Twelve months ago the whisky question was settled for four years in Williamsburg county ?and 'tis to be hoped in the ent^e State. If "Voter" wants a return of whisky, we ask him to wait three years more and by that time the is sue will have been tested. The devil has divided the people these many years by eternally pushing an issue, which will not be settled,into the prejudices of mem "Voter," for your sake and for the sake of our county let us have at least one Legislature in the interest: of things worth while. Permit us to' think upon a proper adjustment of | taxes, upon good roads and upon hiirher education of the people for once, unmolested by whisky. Educate our people and the whisky issue will be settled and settled for food, and it will not be settled before?you can put that down. If'tis prohibition you demand, "Voter," j when you educate the people and. build good roads then you will get prohibition and not until then. Perhaps "Voter" is a young en-' thusiast just turned twenty-one. J Then I bid him spend his surpl us, ?nergy routing the numerous "blind ; tigers", or he might get in good [ practice for the issue three years lence, if there's one worthy hisj steel. Now,in all seriousness,we hope no candidate will be so unstatesmanike and so utterly deep-rutted in things of the past as to try to bring )ut the stale whisky issue in this campaign. We have had enough egislation on the whisky issue until we try the laws made. We demand ' that our Representatives do something for our roads and for our ;chools, touching not the wwlean 'him/?thp whiskv issue. Citizen. Why not patronize the City Pressng Club?
