There has been considerable talk recently of a bridge over the Catawba river between Chester and Lancaster counties, and it may turn out to be more than talk, as no"cording to the plan proposed it looks like the bridge can he put up in a way that will entail no great burden on the two counties. A bridge near the L. & ! C. Railway trestle would cost, it is said, ubout 5X0,000, one-half of whit h amount would bo derived from Federal aid. leaving: tlie two counties to raise about $20,000 each; which in Chester county's case could be paid off in Ave years by levying; one-half mill addl- J tional. The money, it is further stated, can be obtained for four p< r cent. There's a site farther up the river I where the stream is considerably narrower, but no saving would probably lie effected, as a new road would, have to be constructed to reach the bridge, if this bridge were built, it would be another step forward on the Calhoun Highway The faculty of the Chester colored schools for tho coming session is to be as follows: S.

FIGHT AGAINST BRADFORD. Why Columbia Interests Oppose the Man From Fort Mill. Rook Hill Herald, Saturday, j Asked this morning by a Herald ) man if he thought there was any truth In the published report that certain Columbia interests were undertaking to interfere in the York county primary by opposing his re-election, i W. R. Bradford of Fort Mill, one of the candidates for the house of representatives, stated that he had no doubt that not only a considerable number of people in Columbia, but some in other sections of the state would bo pleased to see him defected and were welcoming the opportunity to do what they could against him. "The wonder is," said Mr. Bradford, "that this opposition to me has been delayed until the present campiJgn. I am sure It would have come two years ago hut for the fact that I had no opposition at that time. Since then several things have happened in connection with my service in the legislature to make these people more than ever anxious to see ni'e retired. There isn't any use to mince words about the matter. "So far as the Columbia end of the opposition to me is concerned, it comes largely from misguided friends of the University of South Carolina living in that city, who are extremely jealous of Winthrop college, and who have undertaken in one way or another to injure the great girls' collegv located in Rock Hill, thinking that if the growth and prosperity or Winthrop could be retarded It would redound to the interests of the university. "I think it can he truly said that I have been the spokesman for Winthrop college in the house and in the ways and means committee for the last eight years. What is more natural, therefore, than that these people should want to get me? I have tried to he fair always to the university and have never opposed what I considered the i legitimate growth and proper support of the institution; hut there are certain things which tfhve been proposed and urged for the university which I have opposed and will continue to op- ! />ose if I am re-elected. One of these j tilings is the woman's building the j legislature will be asked next winter j to appropriate $250,000 for and more , later. Two thousand dollars or $2,500. j was appropriated by the legislature at j beautify the grounds on which they propose to locate the building'. I opposed the appropriation in the ways ly opened to the public today. Mr. Weathers and son have completed two concrete bridges on the road and they are tine pieces of workmanship. Inspired by the Klwanls spirit, Mr. R. T. I>eGrand, superintendent of the Shelby cotton mill, a large cotton warehouse will be erected on the ltlanton and Eskridge property adjacent to the Southern depot, the warehouse to be a bonded Institution with ! n capacity of 3,000 bales. !

Friends of Wlnthrop college should open their eyes. This effort to put up a woman's building at the unjversity j is designed, in my opinion, to split the appropriation for Winthrop and in the end mean that the woman's department of the university overshadow the girls' college here. "Another of the things I have done that was displeasing In Columbia was to vote against the bill which came up at the last session of the legislature proposing an increase of 20 or more in the number of trustees of the unlver- | sity. Why was it sought to add that ' great number to the board of trustees? r-nrl-lv If ?.<iu fnr thp mimnsA of flir- I ntailing a greater number of men scattered at advantageous points throughout the state to lobby for greater appropriations for the university. Even Dr. Currell, president of the university, opposed the bill, much to the disappointment of certain Columbia friends of the university and Columbia interests which seem to think that the principal duty of the legislature is to make appropriations to insure the growth of Columbia. "The Columbia printing monopoly also is after me. I have been p. member of the Joint committee for several yearn and during the time have refused to allow the monopoly to tell me how to look after my duties and the interests of the people. I introduced at the last session of the legislature a proposed amendment to the constitution giving th? legislature control of the public printing?the constitution now cuniruis 11 uuu mc ngiMinuu- m now forced to pay just what the bidders ask. My resolution passed both house and senate unanimously and will go before the people at the election in November. The monopoly didn't like the resolution. Neither does it think any more of me for having held up in committee a few weeks ago the award of the contract for the legislative printing for the next two years. "Another thing, I did not vote for T. P. Cothran for membership on the supreme court bench." CONCENTRATE ON ONE THING. Few Succeed With "Many Irons In the Fire." Oftentimes after I have read a book it will take a week for the big idea to crystallize in my mind, writes the cdI ifr??? nf 'Tvnft \fotnt This has been the case of the "Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie." One thought sticks with mc and it is this: "It pays to concentrate on one thing.' You know too much ability can become a liability. Some men are failures because they can do too many things. ."Everything they undertake smacks of a little success; no one thing has the elements of a big success. These chaps "have one good job and about six little private ventures on the side. They scatter their energies, j when if they would concentrate on one j thing they would have the world by the tail. I think it was Carnegie who coined the phrase, "Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket." He had come to this conclusion by the time ho was thirty, and although he never carried' out his idea literally, he was constantly engaged In the effort to narrow his interests to the steel business, and almost all of his many activities were related to the steel business. At one time he made a resolution to dispose of all the securities he owned which w4re handled on the stock exchange. Although he madO a million dollars In his first oil well, yet he never speculated in oils again, but took his profits and used them to extend his steel business.
