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. '

AN IMPORTANT CASE. 1
Question ol Timber Contracts, to
Bt Tried Again in Circutt Court.
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.

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

There are millions of dollars involved
