;;:rr: - v The Press and Banner, BY HUGH WILSON. Wednesday, Dec. 16, 1891, Religion* Meeting at Long Cane. A religious meeting commenced at.Lowei Long Ca'ne, last FrlUuy, December 4, ana con tinued until the next Thursday night by Kev W. W. Orr, the church evangelist. Dr. yioan reports It as one of the most ln^ tor?*Ktlno mMtinffs that hp has ever witnessed. The whole country around there seemed awakened, and, apparently mere was a general revival o! religion. Some forty-dveoi fifty persons Joined tbe church, and where It was desired, in a few instances, certificates were given to other cburc hes. A spirit of prayer prevailed, and former differences between neighbors, were reconciled, and many persons resolved to lead better lives. paring tbe meeting tbe preacher referred to prohibition, and asked for tbe sentiment of The congregation, when a unanimous vote declared the sentiment to be a favor stopping tbe drink traffic. Tbe same Evangelist opened a meeting at Bradley on Sunday mornlDg. Time Extended. Treasurer Blake received notice yesterday that tbe time for the payment of taxes without penalty has been extended. He does not know bow long tbe extension is to be. Taxpayers might as well settle up, and be doDe with it. About two-thirds of the receipts have been /vna hotf e\t thfl f Q TOU huVO IOOUUU, auu auuub vuo unu vr? wuv W...VV MM,V been collected. Treasurer Blake says tbe hard times Is tbe reason for so mucb delay in collecting taxee this year. Mr. N. 0. Pyles telegraphs us as follow*: "Tbe time for the payment of taxes has been extended to the twentieth of February. din IIonne Bnral. Mr. Samuel King, of Antrevllle, lost his gin house, two bales of cotton, a lot of cotton ?eed and peas, by Are last week. It Is thought that a apark from the engine started the tire. There have been many gin bouses burnt during tbe seaxou. The risk of tire, and tbe small cost of having cotton ginned in town would aeem to do away with the old plan ol every man doing his own ginning. It seems better to haul the cotton in the seed to market, and dispose of the whole at once. Qualified. Capt. F. W. R. Nance was In town yesterday, and compiled with all the requirement? preliminary to entering upon tbe duties of the office to which he has been recently elected by tbe people. Tbe Captain is a graduate of Ersklne College, and be will no doubt reflect credit on his Alma Mater, and give perfect satisfaction In the discharge of tbe delicate and important duties which bis office involves. Is tbls True? A blue rose la among tbe Impossibilities. There is a law governing the coloring of flowera which is simply this: The three colors, red, blue and yellow, never appear in tbe same a peel e6 of flowers; any two uiay exist, but never tbe third. Thus we bave the red and yellow roaee, but no blue; red and blue verbenas, but no yellow; yellow and blue in the various members of the viola famllly (as ponslea, for Instance), but no red; red and yellow gladioli, but no blue, and so on. Death of Urn. J. K. Vance. Mrs. Add C. Vance, wife of Major j. K. Vance, died Thursday morning at balf past two o'clock, aged 76 years. She was a member of Horeb Baptist. Church. Dr. Sloan was called to see her and preached the funeral at Cedar Spring?, where she was burrled beside her lormer husband, Dr. J. W. Hearst. She was married In 1882 to MaJ. J. K. Vance. PbotoerapbM.

County Alliance. The regular quarterly meeting of the County Alliance will take place in the Court House at eleven o'clock ou Friday the 8th of January. The County Council, composed of the sublecturers will meet ou the night previous, in the Court House. Dr. Sloan was In town last Friday. Some time ago be resigned the pastorate of Lower Long Cane and Cedar Springs which he had held for a lire time, but as long as be Uvea among the people who know blm and love bitn, be will still be called upon for ministerial services? he will be at their sick beds and at their faceralx, while the young lovers will call upon him to make tbein one.

Public Bridge*. 1 It is well known to engineers and : bridge contractors that the ordinary methods of lettting highway bridges are very imperfect, and capable of great improvement. When a county is in need of one or more bridges, it is customary to make ' an appropriation, and appoint a com? mittee to advertise for proposals, examine plans, and close contract for r the work. Sometimes the advertise* ' ment will give length of spans, width nf rniiilwiiv. and live lnan ner snuare foot to be provided for; seldom more, and frequently much less than this. Very frequently the only information given is that the committee at a certain time and place will receive proposals for bridging certain streams, the rest being left to the bidder. Occasionally when the committee desires to do its whole duty, it will employ a local engineer or surveyor, whose experience has usually been foreign to bridge building, to draw up a specification; and the reading of such specification often has on the bridge fraternity about the same effect as one of Artemus Ward's best efforts, aud the work is benefited correspondingly. All bridge companies, classed as highway compauies have ageuts scattered through the various States, a certain amount of territory being assigned to each. It is their business to keep posted on all lettings "coming off in their territories. A day or two in advance of the time for which a letting is advertised, agents to the number of from ten to twenty-five will be gathered on the spot taking such measurment and levels as they can without instrument and preparing their strain 1 sheets and specifications fov the letting. If there is a fair prospect of being able i to put up a job on the country, the competitors call a secret meeting to de- < cide the following questions: First, the < greatest sum that they consider it ' would be safe to ask for the bridge; 1 i k.i<u . < swuiiu, llie icost^uui iuab vrui uunu a bridge a9 light a9 the country will J accept; third who shall have the contract; fourth, how shall the,profits be divided. It is readily seen that a letting under such circumstances is a farce. The representatives of the various companies receive liberal salaries, and their traveling expenses are necessarily heavy, but until bridge commissioners adopt a different policy the bridge companies cannot do business without such representation. Bridge companies do not do business for fun or for the glory there is in it, but to make money and pay their stockholders a dividend on their investment, and it & lAitrti nrUViniif o nrfiminn thof oil +Hia tviivno ttiiiuvuv uiguuivuv) vunv uia unnecessary expense IS BORNE ULTIMATELY BY THE I C COUNTY. 8 So long as it remains obligatory on ? the bridge company to send a repres- ? eutative to the locality before he can ? hope to receive a contract, it is but just 1 and right that the county should A should pay the cost. Like the overcoat that appeared invisible in the ? drummer's expense account, the coun- 11 ty does not see this charge for person- 8 al attendance on lettings, but it is there ? all the same. ? A small pool simply means getting v back expenses. A large pool amount- c ing sometimes to 100 percent, of cost, ^ means not only this but a good profit ? in addition. * P It frequently happens that those 0 who do not get the work make more v money out of it than those who do, and ?' this fact has called in to the field nu- 11 merous "scalpers" who represent no 2 company but travel simply for the profit iu pools. J The existence of pools and the prob- o ability of the couty paying too much money for a bridge is not however the P worst feature of the svstem. The coun- ^ ty has no protection againts unsafe , and worthless bridges. Some of the !,( companies employ engineers who can 11 correctly design a bridge, and have ? Bhops which can produce good work, J"1 while other companies cau neither make good designs nor turn out good w work, but the lowest bidder almost in- 11 varibly takes the work. When every- 11 thing goes to the satisfaction of the & bidders and profits are large, the coun- a ty, providing the contract is let to one P of the best companies, has some little n show of receiving a suitable and safe a bridge; but when the builders cannot agree on tt-rms, or when the appropriation is too small, and it comes toa^ fight, every man bidding independent- c ly and at the lowest possible figure, e there is no show whatever that the county will get a good and safe bridge; s if the bridge will hold itself up until a the contractor gets his money out of it, he is satisfied, and if it falls down ^ shortlv afterward and kills a few Deo- a pie it passes as an act of provideuce. 8 It is a deplorable fact that no highway bridge company can succeed in busi- * ness, and do uniforihiy honest, con- s scientious work. They may know per- j fectly well what ought to be done aud ' prefer to do it, but are forced to do as their competitors do or go to the wall. The larger bridge companies, known as railroad companies, whose work is confined exclusively to railroad bridges and who have no agents, are frequently invited to bid on highway work. The writer has been connected with such companies the greater part of his life and has made not less than a hundred honest estimates and low nailed bids, in reply to such invitation but he does not call to mind any contracts that has resulted from them. In fact when dealing directly with commissi>ners or non-specialists all time given to such work is a waste of effort. The agents of the various companies on the spot have a way of making the 1 committee believe that black is white, and if a bidder has no representative to defend him, it is better for him to save his time and postage. RAILROAD BRIDGES. With railroad bridges the case is entirely different. The railroad companies generally know what they want, specify it aud furn ish sufficient data to base a bid on. It is not necessary once in a thousand times to visit the bridge site or the chief engineer of the 1 railroad before bidding, if it is done n/vtkSnrr m fn V\n ira l n a/1 tlioraKir Tn IJUblliu? 10 iv ut gaiu^u uitivwj t iu the great majority of cases, the best bidder gets the work. All are required to follow the same specification, and an expert is usually employed to make sure that they do so. Inspectors are also employed to carefully test and inspect all materials at steel mills and rolling mills, also at bridge works to carefully inspect the 1 process of manufacture and the finished product. The lumber, foundation work, masonry and cement is also . carefully inspected, and during or after erefition. all rivets, bolt and con ' nection are examined, in short, every 1 individual piece of material that enters into the structure Is carefully inspect' ed and tested and all imperfect work ' or material is thrown out and it be. comes almost an absolute certainty i that everything is a** it should be, and that the bridge will do its work and t aud do it well for a long period of time. The same methods should be followed with highway bridges. No ' one wouro think of sending a lawyer to prescribe for a sick patient, nor a ? , * . *. vT/* * 'V. . doctor to plead an intricate case at lav but this is in effect what a county doei when it asks a committee to pass or theplansand specifications fora bridg< Some committees have the good sens* to see that this is out of their line anc that it requires a technical knowledg< which they do not possess, and thej callin an engineer who is expert or such matters, to draw up general plans and specifications, to see that contracts and bonds are in proper form, and il the expert understands his business the county is sure to get a safe and du> rable bridge, suited to the locality and at the lowest market price. By the average specification and contract as submitted to the committer Kir fKo KriHtrct nnmnon\r t.Via OAnfra/ifAi binds himself to receive bis pay prompt ly and does not bind himself to do much of anythingelse. He generally agrees to furnish a bridge according tc strain sheets submitted, which, interfireted, m eans that he will furnish the ightest sections of the various shapes that the mills are capable of rollind. When a bill is presented it is a good business policy before payment to investigate it, and make sure the goods have been received aud that they are of the quality ordered, but when a strain sheet is qresentedbya bridge company the committee are poor judges ot the good8,and are in consequence likely to be cheated. If a strain sheet claims to be based on a live load of 1,400 lbs. per lineal foot of bridge and Is really based on a load of 800 lbs. per lineal foot, which discrepancy is by no means an unusual occurrence, how are the committee to . find it out. If sections marked 15 lbs. per foot are given on strain sheet and sections* weighing in lha nor font, nrft fnrnialipfl linur nr*? the committee to And. it out? It has been estimated by some authorities who have given considerable attention to the subject, that an average of thirty highway bridges give svay every year in the United States, sometimes under a considerable load but often under next to no load at all. Fhe amount of risk which some builJers will assume under brisk competi;ion in cutting down their material ind cheapening thejir structures conlidering that human life is at stake, is eally surprising. That a much larger lumber of bridges do not fall is due ;o the fact that they have never revived anything approaching the load tfhich under exceptionai circumstan>es they may be required to carry and vhich they should be designed to car y with perfect safety. It is safe to aslert that not twenty-five per cent, of he highway bridges standing to-day ire YELL DESIGNED AND SAFE BRIDGES, >y which is meant bridges which unler the maximum load for which they hould have been designed will not jive way or be permanently injured >y straining the material beyond its lastic limit. Railroad bride construcion for the past twenty years has been - ery progressive. There has been a iteady improvement in specifications, letails, class and quality of material, oode of manufacture, inspection and upervision, as well as the great inrPHHp In Insula nrnvirlerl fnr. tin t.hat nn ailroad engineer could be found to-day i?ho would accept bridges of the same haracter as were common twenty ears ago. At that time cast iron was enerally used for all members in comression, the effect of wind was not onsidered, and the latteral systems fere designated by rule of tnumb, onnectors were often made greatly aferior in strength to the members i onnected; the size of the pins were xed by their bearing any shearing alues only, while the usually much reater bending stress was not considred; welds were allowed in all the rincipal tension members structures 'ith ambiguity of stress were common be effect of wheel or concentrated rnds was not well understood and oor systems were made much iuferir in strength to the trusses; excen:icity of stress was allowed to an airming extent, its effect being neither insidered or understood. These and lany other defects that might be lentioned and which are found to a reater or less extent in all old bridges re not found in designs made by caableengineers or in bridges built by jputable railroad bridge companies t the present time. With HIGHWAY BRIDGES tie case is very different, the use of ast iron baa been discarded to a large xtent, but designs are not much beter, neither, as a rule, are the bridges afer than they were twenty years ago nd so long as each is allowed to subait his own designs on his own speciIcation, use such material as he pleases ,ud manufacture and erect it without upervision, they will never be. Attempts have been made in some States to correct present abuses, and iafe practice by statute, but so far as he writer can learn very little has jeen accomplished. There is no quesion that if each State employed an expert bridge inspector by whom his ilana for highway bridges should be examined and approved and who ffould be required to inspect all bridges ifter erection, and who would have jower to condemn and replace all unlafe structures the object would be acjomplished; but in the absence of mch State action, each county must Drotect itself from blackmail and from jnsafe and \torthless structures in the nanner indicated or suffer the consequences. 'TIs Worth It All. Yes, to get hold of the grand truth .hat God loves the poor fallen world, *nd that He loves me, one of the fallen ones in it, is worth any any trouble, jare, pain?any thing which one may hav? to go througn in order to get a firm hold of it; and yet many esteem it so lightly that they would not go through' even a little for it. St. Paul jounted all things but "loss" that he "might win Christ." Many a one counts any thing, every thing, precious about Christ. Would that there were more of the poor old Negro among us all. This poor old fellow iitoq vrarv anvintu tn hft ilhlp t.n refill Ilia ITMO ,VV ? Bible. He lives a long way from the missionary's house, and yet he would come, whenever be had time, to learn a lesson. It was such hard work and he made so little progress that the missionary got tired and told him one day that he had better give it up. "No, massa," said he, with great earnestness, "me nabergib it up until me die." And then pointing his Queers to the beautifnl words he bad just spelled out in John iii, 16: "God so loved the world," he said, with tears in his eyes, "lt'n worth all de trouble, massa, to read dat one verse.', And in truth it is, worth nil the worltl Can give toknow that word "so"?to know it a9 much as we cau know it; for, in truth, it is illimitable, and I am glad that it is so.
