There were but two main issues iu the election .on Tuesday?Sobriety vs. Drunkenness, or Prohibition vs. Liquor.

Did you ever think of that? , XX. ?. ?mm ? ? -- A Bridge at Anderson. Tho Bine itidge Railroad will not have to build an overhead bridge iu the city of Anderson. Recently a peti tion from tho Anderson city council and a petition from citizens was filed with the Court asking that the receiver of tho road be authorized and instruct ed to have a new bridge erected. Tho matter was heard before Judge Simon ton, of the United States Court, bv whom the receiver had been appointed, and tho decision in tho case was tiled yesterday. The Court holds that there is no need just at this time to have a new bridge bnilt, but has instructed the receiver to make such repairs and improvements as may be necessary. In concluding his opinion Judge Si monton said : "It is with great regret that the well founded wish of the city council and citizens cannot be gratified, but tho Court cannot in the discharge of its dnty indulge it. But if the present structure be maintained it is the duty of the receiver to put it anil to main tain it in perfect condition.^ho brid?e must be made as strong as possible, all of the timbers and the wood used in its construction, must be, and must be kept sound. The testimony, even that offered by the receiver shows that it is not now in the condition desired. Mr. Lee himself has suggestions to offer looking to this end, based upon the connection that additions and un - ?rovements arc necessary. To effect he end desired, and to secure the city of Anderson -in the making and main taining of a sufficient bridge, the peti tion will be retained, with leave to the city council to obtain the aid of the Court whenever such aid became nec essary or desirable. "It is, therefore, ordered that the re ceiver, under the advice of a proper and competent engineer, put the pres ent bridge in thorough and complete order, removing nil parts thereof which present symptons ot decny and substi tuting in place thereof sound material of proper strength, and that he. from time to time, at all times, take all such steps and make all such expenditures as may be necessary to keep every part of the said bridge in sound, and perfect condition. Thnt leave is hereby given to the petitioners.at nr.y time to apply to this Court for any orders which may bo necce8sary to enforce the provisions of this ordor."?Xcvm and Courier.
