Mr. Editor : Please call atteotioo of tbe County Commissioners to tbe necessity of opening tbe approacoes to the new causeway o?er Stack River in the next two weeks. I waa do WD there today aod by 12 o'clock to msrrow tba work will meet ce?r the middle of tbs swamp Theo the surfacing up to grade will require about two mora weeks and the work will De completed. Tbe contractor said fee expected to fi a iah by December 15 tb. Tbe poblic will bs anxious to U3? tbe cause wiy as 8009 aa finished, acd we would much rather travel begin over tbe road than have by-reads tbrougb our fields. I would also orge apon tbe Business Men's League tbe importance of working for direct road to be opened from Western end of toe causeway to tbe Mayesvilte toad at Turkey Creek. Tbs caasewoy will not be worth over b&If what it will be noleen tbe road is opened. The first petitioo for thia causeway wbicb I prepared some four years ago was signed by about sixty of Sumter's leading basioesa men sud was dropped by me because of local op* position ac that time, asked tbat tbe road be opened io na uear a straight lise as practica ble from tbe fork of the Mayesville and Radi? cal roads to the causeway. I bave been assured by citizens of Coocord tbat tbere would be no opposition by the land owoera over the route, and tbat tbey want thc road opened From what I can learn of tbe coau try to be traversed, about one mile or one and a half miles on tbe direct rou te will cross the sa ody country lying west of Black River, and the balance of road to Turkey Creek will be OQ comparatively bard soil. Besides cat? ting off federal miles, it will avoid eix or eight miles of heavy sand by way of Concord Ch arch and Cha adler's X Roads. My idea would be to pat a surveyor on the route and tell bim to ran a straight line from Turkey Creek to tbe western eod of the cause? way, then if it bit aoy property so os to injure it, make such offsets as woald be neets .ary. Ic might be found advisable to ase a short distance of either the Mayeeville or Radical roads, and a short distance on the Plowden Mill road. Bat it will take aa actual earvey to determine. On tbs other band it might tara oat as it did in tbe cause* way, that the straight lice is not only the .hortest, bat the best route. Respectfully, B. W.
