The committee from the citizens' meeting acted upon the suggestion of <>i lho Herald and News and sent a spe- Ki cial committee composed of Messrs. is: Z. F. \Y right, ('. T. Summer and J. A. be Hurt on to the steel bridge on Tuesday ni morning in company with Supervisor eh J. Monroe Wicker. It was decided to abandon the idea of building the for- tli ry and to proceed at once to tho re- lu building of the steel bridge. Mr. Wicker states that the bridge is all tf0 there having just been turned ovorJyp and that lie can fake it to pieces and I m rebuild it with very little expense for sa new parts. Mr. Wicker will move the jj, chain gang to the bridge the latter a|] part of this week and will commence j,,, the work of rebuilding next. week. In'., tliis he will have the cooperation of j ro the supervisor and citizens of Saluda ,,, county, and will be able to replace J jj, the bridge about as soon as he could ! m. build a ferry and with very little ad- j ^ ditional cost. Mr. Wicker thinks that i jn within two or three weeks he will j have the bridge ready for travel. j It is much better to do this than to j |j have undertaken to build a tempor- J ( ary ferry because the money put into ! tho ferry would have been wasted j practically. Besides, as stated in The | Herald and Nows on Tuesday, the! or forrv would not have accommodated i tho people who desire to cross from ' the Saluda side. I!? I tv I t li Granted Bail.
