FARMERS WHO
BELIEVE IN HAVING
GOOD ROADS-
In Greenwood county, South Caro
lina, all who are liable for road duty
pay a tax of $1 to be used for road
improvement, and law-breakers who
AF@ sentenced for short terms are
put to work on the public roads. The
county supervisor has the supervis
ion of the work. It is only within
recent years that the roads have been
worked with any system, and there
has been so much work to do—cutt
ing down down steep hills, filling in
low places, repairing bridges, replac
ing bridges after the yearly overflow
of streams —that it will take time to
make the roads what they should be.
In some sections farmers are doing
work on the roads that run by their
farms, just to help make good roads.
Between our neighborhood and
' own is a creek swaifap, and at some
times about 125 yards would be ruts,
holes, mud and slush. The county
force improved the condition from
time to time, but after the creek over
flowed, or during a rainy spell, it
soon got in the same condition.
More than two years ago it was al
most impassable and there was so
much in the county that needed im
mediate work that they Could not give
us the time that this road required.
One farmer went around and got
near-by farmers to send their wagons,
teams and hands. The county fur
nished four four-horse teams and
20 hands. The farmers furnished 10
wagons and teams and 20 hands to
haul rock and sand. A sand bank
was near and rock plentiful on adja
cent farms. The county force pound
ed the rock and built the road. They
raised the roadbed 15 inches, and af
ter two days’ work we had a hard
road that we could haul over at any
season.
Some farmers have agreed to
smooth down the roads that pass by
their farms, after heavy rains. We
use a split-log drag and hitch a pair
of mules to it. The road is leveled
and packed by the drag, and the next
rain will run off instead of soaking
in and settling to make mud holes.
I drag a mile and a half. A man
came along and wanted to know what
I was doing and what I would get
for the work. When I told him. he
said that I was putting money into
the county supervisor’s hands. I told
him that the supervisor did not get a
cent for it, and I did not get a cent;
but I had the satisfaction of travel
ing on a firm, smooth road, and it adds
very much to the appearance of the
farm. —George E. Holland, in the Pro
gressive Farmer.

a New York photographer to the Sun
of that city. “About the most unus
ual was a trick I had to play with a
photograph taken of a large gathering
of some organization fbe commit
tee in charge of the affaii wanted one
prominent man to take a conspieious
place i the group and so arranged
the group. At the last minute a less
desirable member of the organization
crowded in and got the choice posi
tion, making him the most prominent
person in the finished photograph. In
desperation the committee came to me
to help them out. When I suggested
changing heads and putting the head
of the prominent member onto the
body of the undesirable one, they were
delighted. FortunatelyXt was a seat
ed group and the man’s figure didn’t
make much difference either way. The
exchange of heads was a great success
and the committee got a lot of pr a ’-' e
for the way they’d had me juggle with
that photograph.”
