Saluda and Newberry to Be Brought Nearer.-Good Work Chamber Commerce in Getting the Bridge. At the month-ly meeting of the board of governors of the chamber 1,of commerce held in Jaunary a com mittee consisting of I. H. Hunt, Chairman; C. T. Summer -and Z. F. Wright was appointed for the pur pose of conferring with .the New berry dAlegation, in the legislaturet in reference to building a steel bridge across Saluda river at or near Alligator Rock, between Bouk night's and Kempson's ferries. That committee with the assist ance of Dr. 0. B. Mayer, president of the chamber of commerce, went right to work on the matter, ap peared before the Newberry delega tion in Columbia which agre d to the need and. necessity of the bridge. A bill authorizing and directing the building of the bridge was intro I duced and passed in the senate and house and was approved by the gov ernor on February 25th and is now a law. The building of that bridge will be I of great benefit and advantage to the people of Newberry county as it will be located half-way between the upper and lower bridges and will open up to the markets of Newberry county a large territory in Saluda county that has heretofore gone to other markets on acount of being unable to cross the river except on a ferry. It will also enable people of Newberry to cross over into Sa luda county. The act also authorizes the open ing of a public road from the Bouk night Ferry road to the bridge and that gives the people living on that road evtry benefit and ad vantage of the bridge. That bridge was al most an absolute necessity for the convenience of the people and the business interests of the county and. was bound to be built sooner or later and the county is to be eon gratulated that the act has been passed and the bridge will be built. The ferry at Bouknight's is to be kept open for the convenience of those living between it and the up per bridge and 'the chamnber of co'm merce will use every effort to keep the roads to the ferry and the new bridge well worked and in fine. eon dition. It gives equal 'advantages to the towns of Newberry and Prosperity being about equidistant from each to the bridge. The farmers of Saluda can choose between the two. The supervisor is directed to build the bridge and no 'doubt will begin oni the work as soo~n as the weather will permit. Opening Days. Never before idid buds opein mord quickly .than they have opened this week. They got a move on and when they did wake .up they hustled; they shot forth inmmediattly, and all of a sudden beautiful blooms appeared. But it was not of these opening days mention intended to make. Tuesday aand Wednesday, 15th and 16t'h, there 'will be a millinery display at Cald well and Haltiwanger's that will equal in beauty and delicacy of finish the wearing apparel that nature is now fast giving to the recipients of her bounty in forest, field amrd or chard. The goods at Caldwelel aa'd Haltiwanger 's are not only beautiful and fine, but they are cheap in price and durable in quality. Odell Duncan Duckett. Mr. Odell Duncan Duck t, the eashier of the People's Banik, the new banking house which opens its doors in a few days, in the city of Greenwood, therby adding to ithe business enterprise of one of the best towns in South Carolina, was born in Newberry county, on Fri day, .January 13, 1871. Both the day of the week and the day of the month among superstitious people, are regarded as ominous of evil, but the career of Mr. Duckett is clearly a refutation of this belief. He has proven by his past record that the stars in their course have not fought aganst him.' IMr. D)uckett is a son of t;he late Thomas Duckett, and his wife, Miss Harrietit Duncan. His father wei graduated from Furman University and became a great teacher of youth. His school in Newberry county had a big reputation in its day. In 1873 he accepted a position to -teach in Greenwood and conse quently moved his family to this city. The son went to school to Prfs. Boozer and Geo. C. Hodges. -Greenwood Journal, March 2.
