HURRAH FOR GOOD ROADS! Tidal Wave of Interest Floods Williamsburg County. Editor County Record: ? Hurrah for the tidal wave of in- ; ' terest in good roads in Williamsburg county! Why, 1 have found so little trouble in getting what 1 call >7to the road fund by vol- ' untary contributions, in money, labor and timber, that the great surprise to me is that we have put up with the slow progress heretofore, j as has been done. I blame no one , personally for this, but feel that wej were har.dicap|>ed by averyinade-! nuate road law, which from time to | time was slowly improved. Wean-j ticipate a final correction by our | next Legislature; then we can improve more wonderfully. I tell you.; my friends to good roads, that the victory is ours! Whenever men volunteer to fight for their rights -as my supplement list will prove,?some giving as much as several hundred dollars to the road fund in their respective sections.purely to help raise funds with which to build roads, and : others of less meajis as willingly chip in their teams to haul?verily it seems to me that an alarum is being sounded;that will make sandbed find his hiding-place and water run for'dear life back to her deep blue mother ocean. Good roads belong to us and we are constrained to believe that with a regiment of such soldiers as above referred to, we wili'not ask that victory may*be ours, but, on the other hand, we feel that we need but "go over and'possess the land," for God is in ihe*fmovement and success is His. We have constructed sorueuun& like fifteen miles this year, besides caring for lots of other roads with the machinej and have builded and maintained our own bridges mostly. It costs about $150'to ditch enough 1 clay for a mile of road and about as much to thoroughly incorporate same with Jthe sand, approximately ' $300 per mile. The worst trouble about the whole business is that everybody wants you on his own road j first,and this" can't be done. I am ' constructing thorough-fare routes first; let them run by whomsoever's door they'may. ^.Then next look out ' for sub-routes into these. We need'about 3 mills for roads, which, if'tu run five years, will get through with the worst sand, which will so wonderfully benefit us that , no man should kick. This would give us sometning like $30,000 a year with what we now get, and that is all we , need, rather than bond the county for $100,000, as was proposed by some, Mr Editor, just as sure as i there is such a pile of money stored away for such, it would bring the greatest clamor for roads everywhere one time; and just as sure as j anyone tries to make the roads of ( thic lnrcrp pmintv over in one vear. there will be money spent without 4 best results, and this should be . / , avoided. Therefore, I believe only about ten or fifteen thousand extra for five years will do just as much as twice that amount under an over- i spirited gait. Of course I know 1 am indeed a small potato; but before there is one I hundred thousand dollars saddled upon our county please let me come again. Very respectfully, JNO M Eaddy, 1 Road Engineer.

I The supreme court of the State has just tiled an opinion in a ease of the very greatest importance which involves the ownership of nearly ail of the timber in this section of the State, and the decision is in the nature of a victory fur the people and the State, which is supposed to have the most vital interests in the forests of the State. The case is A W Flajrler against the Atlantic ( oast Lumber corporation. and the attorneys were Clayton & Buck for the timber owners and Wil'cox & Wlllcox for the lumber company. An outline of the case lias already been jriven in The Times, and it will be remembered by the readers of the paper. The case was appealed from a decision of Judge Prince on the circuit bench which put this case on the same basis as some other timbe contract cases that have been decided in this State, but the attorney's for the plaintiff insisted that there was a clause in the contract that gave the timber to the lumber company for a certain time after the cutting of the timber began, which was too indefinite,and the supreme court sends the case back to the circuit court to be reheard, and for the jury to say what is a reasonable time for the lumber company to begin to cut the timber. Since there has been so much on this subject among the owners of timberjlands who were caught by this contract all through the Pee Dee country.there is every reason to believe that the juries will say that if the lumber company has not already entered in on the lands they will have no further rights in the matter, and that there will be many thousands of acres of land which went for a song to the lumber company with the most valuable timber The object of the meeting having Peen stated,the chairman announced ffiat the election of officers was in srder, and called for nominations ' I for president. To this office Mr Stoll was unanimously re-elected. Next came the election of vice president, and Mr E L Hi -sch was ananimously chosen. Mr Speigner was elected secretary, noler,* role)<s, ind the following executive committee was chosen: C W Wolfe, H McCutchen, W H Carr, W T Wilkins and L J Stackley. A committee on club erroilment was appointed as follows: R N Speigner, L P Kinder and Thos Mc-Cutch?n. The general election will be held Thursday, September 26. There being no further business the meeting adjonrned shiedte. Help Yoursell by Helping Us;. We hope the friends of The Record, when they come to town to do tbeir trading,will patronize the business houses that advertise in this paper. Remember that with out these liberal merchants, bankers and other enterprising business men. the price of subscription would be at least $3 a year for such a paper as The Record. You'll find, as a rule, that the men who advertise are wide-awake and on the alert and can give you better bargains than those who do not advertise. This applies not only to Kingstree, but many live and upto-date business men of Lake City, Scranton and Greelyville recognize the pulling power of an ad in The Record. if j N # I CURED TO SIM' CORED.
