With the singing of "Come Thou
Almighty King" opened the twelfth
meeting of the Dillon County Federation
of Womens Ckibs at Lake View
Oct. 15, 1921. After tile invocation
by Rev. Ledbetter, Mrs. R. T. Renfrew
in a happy manner with cordial
words welcomed the Federation
to Lake View. Mrs. Pierce Rogers responded
with hearty enthusiasm and
appreciation of the proffered hospitality.
When the Choral Club had entertained
the guests with a well rendered
selection Miss Amanda Edwards,
acting president, announced the first
speaker, Mrs. S. D. Plowden, president
of the State Federation. Mrs.
Plowden spoke of the State Federaiotl
srivinir those nrpaunl ? L-iimi-l.wl
that must inevitably lead to a greater
interest in the activities of the club
women of the state. Her comprehensive
resumee of the scope and cosmo-,
politan nature of the work assured
one of the dignity of the Women's
Club activities.
Mrs. Edmund spoke of the welfare
work in her state, North Carolina.'
She interested her audience in the
great work she is doing.
At twelve o'clock Miss Edwards in
a few well chosen words introduced
the speaker of the ocassion, y Dr. |
Henry Nelson Snyder, President of
Wofford Colege and well known lecturer,
who addressed the Federation
on the subject: "Books." Dr. Snyder
spokk in his fascinating facile style.
His perfect diction, exact knowledge
and vivid personality with a bit of
pleasing byplay that added even to,
the meat of the lecture, held the absolute
attention of the audience. Af 1
ter tracing the origin of the word
book and some kindred words, he
stated three fundamental differences
between man and any other animal.
(1) He keeps records (2) questions|
ana (3) idealizes: Books are the
expression of these impulses. In
books we find the interpretation, explanation
and presentation of Life.
From books we should gain information,
answers to -questions and interpretation
of life and pet these from
wisdom and entertainment. In books)
wc find the idealization of life in aj
variety of expressions. History, |
science, philosophy, prose and poe-i
try.
After a risinp yote of thanks to Dr.
Snyder for this able address an appetizing
lunch was served.
At two o'clock the program was
resumed with the singing of the Federation
song composed by Mrs. Renfrow.
President of the Federation.

Haptist Pastors of the
State to Exchange Pulpits
November 13th is to witness the
greatest Fellowship Day among Baptists
and the widest interchange of
pulpits on the part of Baptist pastors
ever known in the State. This
Fellowship Day is to be utilized * for
the purpose of extending the acquaintance
of pastors and churches, of
promoting larger fellowship in the
affairs of the Baptist denomination in
South Carolna and of presenting the
interests fostered by the Baptist State
Convention and included ir the Baptist
75 Million Campaign.
Among the things that Baptists are
stressing at this timcy are the securing
of 30.000 tithers. a great campaign
of soul-winning on the part of
preachers and laymen, the enlistment
of 60,000 church members who did
not subscribe two years ago in the
7 5 Million Campaign, and the payment
of pledges for the second year I
ending December 1st 011 the part of
all subscribers to the 75 Million
Fund.

MAltS BLUFF BKIDGE ASSUHEB
Mr. Hughes Says Marion and Florence
Will Cai'ry Out their
Plans.
I have been requested to reply to
the article evidently eminating from
the State Highway Department and
appearing on the front page of Sunday's
State. 1 reluctantly do so. for
the reason that I know that the public,
like myself, must be heartily tired
of this discussion. The Pee Dee
Bridge Commission has rejected every
attempt made by the Department,
aided by the Federal Bureau, to forcp
us to build the bridge where the
law did not contemplate, and where
the Commission did not locate or desire
it. They promised us on May 29th
at a meeting in Florence, that if we
would locate the bridge they would
endeavor to build it where we wanted
it. Four months and a half rolled by,
ind neither the Highway Department
10r the Government lnade any surrey
looking towards locating the
>ridge where the Commission desir d
it built. From information that we
eceived from Washington in Sepember
iliai this had not been done
md would not be done, but that our
noney was being spent for the pur>cse
of bolstering up the location
uade by the Department's engineers
nst spring, and which was rejected.
iiv ttumuiHies oi Florence and .Maron
counties decided that they would
li.-miss any l'urther dealings with the
lighway Department and Bureau of
Yderal Aid. A meeting was thereore
held at Florence some time in
September and it was unanimously deided
that Florence and Marion
louulies would proceed to build the
tridge without any assistance from
he Department or the Government;
md it was so announced. The Higlivay
Department requested the Comuission
to meet with their Engineers
ast Saturday at Florence. This was
lone as a matter of respect to the
Government Engineer who was to
nake a special report. His report defended
the former location by the Department
and submitted other imposjible
locations, all of which would
bankrupt these two counties to build
and maintain. A great deal has been
mid about the estimated cost made by
the Government. It is sufficient to say
that this county entered into a Federal
Aid project with the Highway
Department over Little Pee Dee River
and that they estimated then that It
would cost fifty-five thousand dollars
and be built in a year. It has cost
us over a hundred thousand dollars
and it. took around three years to
complete a dam built out of sand,
and is regarded by many as almost
worthless. It is evident to the public
therefore just why we do not care to
enter into any more estimated contracts,
as we did in that case. It was

also stated in that article that Flor- I
ence and Marion would build u low i
water bridge; thi3 is not true. Thiy 1
art planning a bridge some eight feet I
above any water known to the river. 1
Thy low water road, however, will be i
a spi!l-\vay for extreme freshets for I
a part of its length and will inter- <
rupt traffic possibly thirty-six hours ;
per a?inum? It will cost a hundred
thousand dollars more to save this '
one dayiper year, and these* counties
doe not think it worth a hundred
thousand <iollars to do this. Mr. McNary,
the Bureau's best engineer, according
to'the article, stated that he
had recommended this in his report
as being the best solution of the
whole matter, but that the Chief of
the Bureau had pliniinntmi it nsl
Federal Aid would b.* available
for such a purpose. It was admitted
by them, however, ihat juot such a
road was being built over the Wateree
River, but that this would not do for
us. I desire to say in closing this
matter that it is the intention of
Florence and Marion counties to build
this dam and bridge at an estimated
cost of one hundred and fift>
thousand dollars, and that it is our
intention to begin the work in a very
short tfme. It is our opinion that this
is a free country and that our counties
can build a bridge where we
please so long as we furnish the money
and that the Highway Department
and Federal Bureau have no
right, and we think the public will
concede this, to force us to build it
where they want it in order to save
their reputations, as1 is claimed. Tho
bridge will be built in a much shorter
time, and a great deal more efficiently
and economically by the counties
than can be done hv the npnnrf
ment, because of the necessary red
tape in connection therewith. It
should be stated also that it is our
intention to make this a toll bridge.
This conclusion was reached for the
reason that there is such a great
outcry about taxes and the serious
crisis and depression that is confronting
us, that it was thought wise
to make it a toll structure so that it
would not be necessary to add an>'
additional tax burdens to our people.
The toll will be a small price and it
has been calculated that the fees
would pay for and maintain the
