will retrograde. Taking these alle- |j
gations to he true, (and I thirvk thatn
any fair-minded man will agree 1
that they are true) it behooves us 1
as patriotic citizens and business
men to come together and devise
some way in which these conditions
will no longer exist. I shall not at- !
tempt in this article to show by. I
facts and figures what bad roads
cost the farmer and business men in
this county every year, for that
would be startling.
But 1 propose to give what is in
my judgment the remedy: Let the
c mnty v ite. say $100,000. twenty
year bonds, bearing interest at the
rate <>f o per cent Levy a tax of
two mills on the dollar on the property
of :'ne corny and that will pay i
the interest n ihe bonds and retire j
them in twenty years. Let that
money g-> to aeh township according

place that money in the hands of a
commission and let it say how it is to
be expended. Then, and not until
then, win you see oetter roaus in
Williamsburg county.
'Now, I further venture this statement:
That if you will spend
?100,000 on the roads of Williamsburg
county the property valuation
has already advanced two hundred
thousand dollars.
Now, fellow citizens, don't crticize
and find fault with my suggestion,
but think it over seriously and
if you have anything better to suggest
l"t us have it through The
Record for something must be
done; we can't take a back s at
lunger in the matter of roaus in this
grand old county of ours. Speak
out, gentlemen, and let's keep the
bail rolling.
Very respectfully
