Free Bridge.
To the Editor cf the Dispatch:
In the beginning of this article I
wish to return many thanks to you
for the manly fight ycu are making
on this question. It seems, however,
that you have the fight alone, and
if you will allow me space I will Iry
to help you a little if I car; for I believe
it is but just and right to have
one or more free bridges across
Saluda river in our couDty.
I also wish to state that I am not
a candidate, and have never been one,
nor do I, at present, comtemplate
being one; neither do I make Lexinnrf
av> P TT m n marfcof.

Bat, as an bumble citizen and taxpayer
of the grand old county of
L?xingtoD, let me give a few reasons
why our people should vote this tax
to build a free bridge across Saluda
river.
As is well known many of our citizens
live ia what is called the Dutch
Fork of our county, and if by reason
of a swollen river or broken or leaking
flats they cannot cross Saluda
river they must necessarily incur the
extra expense of travelling by rail if
they should be summoned as juror
or witness in a trial to be held at the
court house. But seme say: 4,We
need more than one free bridge." Yes
we do, wo need three, and we will
have them sooner or later. But let
us build one first at a central location
where it will benefit the greatest
number of people, and then we can
build the others one at a time.
But we hear the question: "Why
tax people who never cress Saluda
river?" Why do we tax people to
build bridges over local streams, who
never do, and perhaps never will
have oco^ion to cross mch streams ?
Surely the people who would refuse
to vote this tax for such a reason are
either very selfish or sadly lacking in
public spirit. Here we are living in
the Twentieth Century using the
samexceans of crossing a river, which
we are necessarily compelled to cross,
which our forefathers used when
they first came to this country. Are
we too poor to build this bridge?
No, our county claims to be free of
debt. Then why not have a free
bridge? Simply because our citizens
are, and have been, afraid of utoo
much taxes." If a one mill levy for
three years will build this bridge,
which is so necessary for the convenience
cf the travelling public and
for the saving of unnecessary expenses
to our citizens and county cffi
cials in the transaction of business
relating to the county, are we not
standing in our own light when we
refuse to vote such a tax ? This tax
is not like railroad bonds. It will
be paid at the end cf three years
without interest thereon, and we will
have a r.nhlic convenience of which
we will all be proud.
The building of this bridge would
enhance the value of our property.
The more conveniences we have the
more valuable our property becomes.
The public conveniences of a city
make the difference in value of like
property in the county.
Again the building of this bridge
would bring our people as citizens
nearer together, which is certainly
very desirable. As it is, with Saluda
river running between the upper and !
lower portions of our county with
nothing but ferries to cross on, cur
people on the borders of the two
side6 of the river do seem like strangers
to each other.
Last, 'out Dot least, we are paying
a much higher tax for the ferriage cf
jurors and witnesses alone, to say
nothing of business and pleasure
trips across the river, than were we
to have several free bridges.
Then let every citizen look at this
matter in the right light, and cast
hie vote in favor of the free bridge.
If we vote it down now it will be a
long time until we can get the bridge
built, for county officials will be

afraid to act. Tbie bridge will be
built sooner or later, whether we vote
a tax now or not, and i* will be built
out of the taxpayers money whether
they vote a tax or not; then let us be
glad that we have been given the
privilege of voting on this measure,
and show our appreciation of this
privilege, and our interest in the |

old county by voting "yes" on the
30th day of Augu3fc.

Chapin, S. C. j
Vote Yes ancl Not No.
We want our people to vote for
the free bridge with their eyes
open. Bather than deceive them in
any way we would rather by far see |
the bridge defeated, therefore we
stale that there will be no bonded
indebtedness; only a tax of about
one mill for three years, of which
the railroads, factories and other
corparations will pay $4,500 to help
build. To show that we are not
actuated by selfish motives we state
as a matter of fact that the people
of the Fork can buy sugar, coffee,
bacon and other groceries at Chapin,
Peak, Hilton, Irmo and other places,
as cheap as they can in Lexington or
Columbia. Our only object in advocating
the bridge is that it will
eventually be a saving to the taxpayers
of Lexington county.
Mr. Bob Killer Dead.
It is with deep sorrow that we
chronicle the death of Mr. R Bob
Hiller, of Hilton, in the Fork. This
estimable gentleman, patriotic citizen
and successful business man depart-j
| ed this transitory life last Wednes- '
day and was buried at Spring Hill I
turning ground Thursdav. Mr. j
Hiller has been a great sufferer for j
| some years with some internal disj
esse and lately he went to Baltimore ;
and underwent a surgical operation
| at the Johns Hopkins hospital but
! only received temporary relief, and
j he came home to die.
j Mr. Hiller was widely known
i throughout the section in which he
j resided as a man of superior business !
| judgment and of unusual energy j
I and enterprise. He was of a j
' kind disposition and was a friend to
j those who needed friendship. Many
| a hope has been made to rejoice
through his kindness and bis presence
has brought sunlight to many
a darkened hearthstone. He will be
greatly misBed by the community J
and in his death Hilton has sustained j
a heavy blow.
A Sad Accident.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
On last Friday evening, August
19, while Mr. D. Ed. Shealy was
sawing for Messrs. Holley Bros,
whose mill is near Saluda river, in
the Ella section of this county, en
inserted tooth and ring flew from
the saw; the ring striking him in the
abdomen and ranged inward for
several inches, inflicting a terrible
wound. Skillful medical and surgical
aid was hastily summoned and the
fatal missile that had sped sc true
into his robust body, was abstracted.
But the course of the steel fragment
had been only too true, and on
Saturday, the 20th, his life ebbed
away and his bou! launched into the
great eternity. He was buried at
Mt. Pleasant Evangelical Lutheran
church I on Sunday; an immense
crowd being present to pay the last
very sad rites. The church services
were conducted by Revs. J. D.
