Bridge at Alligator Rock Brings the Two Counties Yet Nearer Togeth er--Now for the oRads. The county supervisor and co.mmis sioners and the commission appointed by the legislature inspected the new bridge at Alligator Rock last week. This bridge opens and brings nearer a large territory of Saluda county, and makes it much more convenient for them to come to Newberry and to Prosperity. The bridge is a good steel structure and is above high wat er mark, and the approaches on either side are substantially built. The road from Newberry to the bridge hass been put in good condition, and the same may be, said of the road from the bridge to Prosperity. There are now three steel bridges scanning the Saluda, bringing the peo ple on the other side much nearer to Newberry and to Prosperity, not counting the bridge at Chappells. The one at Higgns' Ferry is about ten miles from Newberry, and the one at Wise's ferry is about ten miles from Prosperity, and the one just complat ed at Alligator Rock is about nine miles from Newberry, and the same distance from Prosperity. This net work of bridges makes a large and prosperous section of Saluda county much nearer to the business points of Newberry county and is a great con venience to those peop>le, and should prove profitable to the merchants and business men of Newberrv county. The main thing for the people of New berry now is to keep th, roads ladin, t these bridges in good condition so tat after the Salr,n nenle crosg the river they may find it easy a.nd nrrev.h their tradlne int in this county. is understood that the section of -rad beyond thpT Higgins' ferry brid4re i the Saluda side for several mi;les has been put in fine condition. and w-i bhnre that the same is true of the roads leading to the other two bridges. The imnnortant thing now for the merchants and business men of Newberry and P-osperitv is to nay the hiMgest mar ket price for what the people of Sar luda have to sell and sell in return to them the wares the people may de sie to purdhase at the lowest market price. The farmer will1 baul his cot ton or his cotton seed or his chickeis and egs farther if he knows that the price is a little more. - While at Chappel1s a few dayh ago, otton was seen hauled in there frani within two or th'nee miles from Paty brg because the Ohappd11e cottca market was fromt 1-16 .to .1-4 of a ent above' the other markets: and the rotton seed market was from 3 to 5 ents a hushel above oth'n marke*'s. f course. every one understands that where the farmer sels hiqn rodineO. e wm rend woe of his money.
