Structure Across the St. L*wn*
Largest in the World.
The new bridge across the
L. Lawrence river near Quebec, O
supplants the mighty structure t
fell when half finished in the si
mer of 1907. The site of the i
bridge is the same but the nc
r> pier is moved about 50 feet fart
p into the river, thus apprecia
shortening the central span,
new bridge contains 130,000,
pounds of steel, as compared v
the 100,000,000 of its predeces
It will cost when completed not
than $12,000,000 and and will b
the longest truss span of any bri
in the world?1,800 feet, or 00
more than the great Firth of Fc
bridge in Scotland.
t The construction of this brli
which has taken two and a 1
years, is an impressive indie1
of the progress of mechanics
civil engineering since theuton
lyu bridge was opened sdav at
May 24, 1883. The la

Sunday announced the marriage of d
Charlie Saleeby to Miss Ludia Sa- ^
| leeby. The marriage was the cul- e
i mination of a love affair which be- 11
| gan long before Charlie left the s
mother country when he and his * '
bride were children together at the 's
community school. Charlie came to r
America some twelve voars n 'jnri a
while he worked his way to sue- 11
cess in the land of opportunities; ?
the sweetheart of his boyhood days e
waited patiently until he should j
return to his native home, a pros-1Cl
perous merchant, to claim her as e
his own. It was last January 0
when Charlie sailed for Europe
and the several months he has been 1
away have been spent visiting the j K
scenes of his childhood and renew-1
ing old friendships and acquaint-|
ances. About August 1st Charlie n
will sail for America with hisj^1
bride and will reach Dillon about
the latter part of the month. His E
Dillon friends rejoice with him in A
his hour of happiness and wish for 1
he and his bride a pleasant and a
prosperous journey through life. ?

liles*ed Witli Most Excellent
Crops.
Several days ago a Herald man
aade a trip through the upper end
f the county and upon his return
old the readers of The Herald
bout the fine crops he had seen. A
ew days thereafterward a welliieaning
but misguided friend met,
'he Herpld man on the street and I
aid in all seriousness: "Look here,:
f von newsnaiwr mui. ~..s? I
alking about the fine crops in this
ection the bottom will drop out of!
he cotton market this fall." If our|
riend is correct in his surmise'
hen every farmer in Dillon county;
'ould do well to sell his cotton as'
oon as this issue of The Herald
oes out to its readers, for we are j
oing to tell of some of the best j
otton we have seen during the!
lonth of June since we were old [
nough to tell the difference beween
a cotton stalk and a tomato
ine. We said the crops in the up-i
er section of the county were look-j
lg fine ? much better than they
'ere last year this time, and with
ood seasons from now on there
as not cause for uneasiness orj
larm. This is true. But last Fri-j
ay afternoon, in company withi
lessrs. M. A. Stubbs, W. H. Breedn
and Master Smith Stubbs we (
lade a trip through the Buck
wamp and Dothan sections andj
tie average is much better than it ,
in the upper end of the county,
raveling southeast over the Marion !
nd Dillon road the crops between
ere and Maple Swanjp are not very
ood. These lands are planted by
xcellent farmers, but they got a
ite start and then the sand storm
ame along and set them back sevral
weeks.. Beginning at the "Big
>aks" the crops with but two or
nree exceptions are excellent. The
irmers on this route planted early,
ot good stands, had plenty of time
) work their crops thoroughly and
tie indications are they will make
lUch better rrnno tHo?> 1 ?
... v> W|/u v ok 14 nci C uiauc
ist year. Among those so signaler
blessed are D. H. Hyatt, J. H.
lerry, John^H. Stackhouse, the
lessrs RowenV vloyd Bros, Messrs.
'urbeville, J. R. Reaves and his
on-in-law, Mr. Raeford. Crossing
tuck Swamp we found good crops
n the McCall place farmed by the
tubbs Co. and cultivated by Mr.
'urjieville; thence o to the Moody
lace where the crops were equally
s good. Turning around we rerossed
Buck Swamp and taking the
iothan road went by the excellent
arms of \V. D. Hayes, Laurin Behea,
Jno. F. McLaurin and W. P.
urles, passing a historic place
nown as "Haymount" where in
idea times, it was said the lands
rere so high you could look over
uto Georgia?whether in altitude
r in the coin of the realm we do
ot know. Along here there were
xcellent fields of tobacco as well
s cotton and corn, the first curag
being under process at Mr. Surss'
place. Next we passed the farms
f Lon Smith, J. E. Henry and Jno.
>. Bethea, all of whom reside at
.atta but have their farms wisely
nd intelligently managed. Right in
ere is the 500 acre tract recently
urchased by L. C. Braddv from D.
I. Dew for the sum of $25,000 and
urther on is the fine plantation of
Ir. L. B. Rogers. The Col. Ed.
tethea place at Dothan is being
lanted thia v?u?- >? i ?
or the Stubbs Co., and it is said
he present crop is the best
hat has been seen on this place in
lany years. Anyway, Mr. Stubbs
ays if he had the privilege he does
ot see how he could make any imrovements
on it; as Mr. Stubbs
imseif is one of the best farmers
i the county the public can get
ome idea of the excellence of this
rop. All through the Dothan secIon
the crops are showing up in a
tost promising manner. The John
!llen place has a good crop and
he P. L. Bethea land at the old
IcKenzie place has an excellent
rop. The average in the sections
tirough which we passed is highr
than we have seen this year. In
ict this section seems to have been
articularly blessed, and good sea3ii8
combined with good farmers
ave given it the lead over other
ectlons of the county. We wish we
ad the space to tell something
bout every crop we saw on this
rip. However, if there is any per3n
in the county suffering from
tie blues over the crop outlook we j
rescrlbe as an anti-dote a trip
tirouirh this section it ujiii
ou go back home that night and
ream of money growing on trees.
