Will the county have to pay for ; ^Ihat horse that fell in at tin little bridge at Paisley swamp and was drowned? J heard tiiai he hone backed the buggy oif the brioone of the negroes had a nanow escape with his life. It is a little bridge! . I but ?omeboilv said the water was 8 ft deep. I do not remember even if it | had any hand rails. And right j here let me say to our comity coin-j missioners to always have, in evei v bridge hereafter repaired or con-! Structed, a line of 1<> or 12 inch' plank securely nailed to the .'.usidej of the band rail post, half way fioni the top railing to the floor of thej bridge, which is about the height of the wheel hubs. It will prevent the hubs from striking the post, and give confidence to the horses and safety to the riders; also strong rail llJgS lU CTei \ Mllilil I'UU^I ..1 IV.-. II dangerous | hue. But don't, don't do like Marion county did in Pee * Dee swamp. She made a long bridge) across a wide lake and made it only j 10 ft wide. One of my mules tried to back a buggy otf it once, and ir j ruiued a yoke of oxen for a Mr Powv ; ell and made my mules foolish about crossing other biidges. But liny, crossed the Johnson Ferry l.ridire; very well, because it has that line of! plank nailed to the inner side of the; hand rail post half way down, ami; also because it is 32 fr. wide?11 would be better. Another word to the supervisor: A horse, driven bv some ladies. g<d fust in a hole m the bridge floor of the Johnson Ferry biidgo and rc j maiued there until some help could j be Secured to get him out?each overseer should be required to put a floor olutik in every li*tie bridge ' 1? when needed, uud big bridge too, nutil they can be let for repairs. Our little Stony Run bridge has a broken plank and a hole, and I don't believe the Socket bridge h is been repaired. I call it dangerous. The! cap ut the western end is rotten, and ! giving way, I was afraid to drive my buggy over it the other day to get' back to Possum Fokk.
