A YEBY IMPORTANT MATTES. The Ferries Between Fairfield and dewberry Oyer Broad Slyer Should Be Decided Jfow. I feel it a duty to call t&e taxpayers attention to conditions now existing on Broad river in the way of ferries and to what will exist after the completion of the dam at Parr Shoals. we nave had in the past up to the last few years two chartered ferries, Ashford and Hughey's, then Dawkina was put in as a private ferry and next one at Blairs and then one at Hopes. After the completion of the dam at Neils Shoals when the river was low and they held the water it made a very bad crossing at Ashfords, and then the high water washed the wire down and the ferry was abandoned as a public ferry and moved or opened up at Dawkins; also the one at Hugheys was _ 1 X _ 1 3 3 J i. 1 XII ?. J aDOut aDanaonea ana travel mat usea to cross there was crossed at Hopes or Peaks. Ashfords and Hugheys being the only chartered ferries across Broad river from Newberry county. As the conditions now exist these arrangements transferring the ferry from these places to others works fine and gives excellent crossings, but how will it be when the dam is completed; and to find out exactly about these conditions I made a trip to Parr Shoals to. ascertain the exact facts, and they are these: 1. There will be absolutely no crossing between Peak and Dawkins, and the ferry at Peak has .been abandoned for some time and will, as I understand it, be continued so as there will be no water on but one side of the island terminating here. 2. The river will be raised in main channel fifteen feet at Dawkins, making the depth at low water from twenty to twenty-five feet of eddy water just like a lake. The landing and the approach to the landing on the Newberry side will be all right * until there is a four foot rise in the river wlhich will cover part of it. 3. Now on the Fairfield side is the trouble and exists the very trouble that this letter is expected to especially call the public attention to. When you land on the Fairfield side you will come to a strip of land about one hundred yards wide, then you will o~me to another body of water that will continually get deeper as you go until just before you come to another strip of land it will be fiv- feet HHBHHHBBHMHBi APITAL PRIZI ELSON PLAYER PIANO, 7 if-.- fnnnfir hass strings: milled 7 f" c ? <=> / ,h continuous brass flange rail i . plate; handsomely bronzed ing pin block; felt hammers; ttachment; polished ebony si 3 set in Maple bushing; contii i; Norris patent noiseless pec out; guaranteed for ten years. wfacturer^ri ride to the triumph of their ceE )f labor, the H.

I Now these are the conditions given by the resident engineer who says it is going to be almost impossible give anything like satisfaction there j with a ferry, for every little rise or fall in the river will effect these con- : ditions. | 4. At Strother the river -will be > raised five feet in main channel, mak- j ing running water that will propel a boat across the river in water from 1 'eight to fifteen feet, and will raise the j river just enough to make excellent approaches to the boat at the landing and on either side you will have good high lands and good approaches to and from the river. i i The ^engineer stated that the ferry at Strother could be made an excellent 'ferry with little expense and one that would be permanent and that the rise' jand fall of the river would not play 1 such a prominent part as it would over the ferry at Dawkins. ! The only obstacle in the way as he sees it, after talking it over with the Fairfield authorities is that they have just spent considerable time and money making a good road to Dawkins, and that the road on the Newberi ry side is in very good condition out jto the State road which is about a mile from Ashforas ferry. Now these people at Parr Shoals are just as nice and as fair about this matter as they can be, and are willing to aid in making the best ferry possible under the conditions at either place, and all they ass is cooperation or tne two counties ana ior cne proper parties to designate where the fer- : ry is to be. Now it makes but very little differ- i ence to the writer of this piece where J the ferry is, as my interest lies just! between the ferries, but while we ar? : getting help to establish a ferry it is the- duty for every one to express !bimj self and put this help where it will | do the most good for the longest time, j i i Know tnere win De many oojec! tions to closing the ferry at Dawkins and some will raise quite a racket, j and I myself would rather it kept open,, j but can it be operated to advantage ' under the conditions as they will ex- j ist.
