An Expensive Stretch of Roadbed
??
Pr.ghahly a very small number of
the many persons wl;o daily walk
the footbridge which spans the
railroad cut a hundred yards north
of the depot in this place know
tlint the building of the roadbed
through the cut, about 10U yards
iij length, wnp attended by a very
great deal of trouble and expense
Owing to the presence of (juieksand
it was necessary for a work
train to be engaged for more than
six months in putting in piling,
rock, timber and gravel before a
train was allowed to venture inside
the cut. Then, for mouths after,
trains passing through the cut
would sink into the sand until the
wheels would be entirely hid from
view. So dangerous was the roadbed
considered that all trains were j
stopped and the passengers advised
to get utl' and walk until the cut
was passed. This practice was
continued for many mouths. During
recent yoars little trouble has
l?een experienced in keeping the
roadbed in good condition, though
there are numerous springs in the
cut from which water flows continuously.

tyr. A. C. Springs Here.
Last Wednesday and Thursday
Mr. Alva C. Springs, of El Reno,
Oklahoma, was a guest at the home i
ofCapt. S. E. White. Mr. Springs
moved from Fort Mill to Oklahoma
several years ago. Recently
he has been engaged in the real
estate business, in which it is said
hp has met with considerable sue- 1
cess.
Discussing Oklahoma politics
with a number of Fort Mill friends
Thursday morning, Mr. Springs
said that the people of the section
of the Territory in which he lives
are anxious for Statehood, lie
d .es not belieye, however, th it
Oklahoma will be admitted to
the I'nion as long nstheKepub
licans are in power at Washington,
for the reason that the Territory
is Democratic, as Oklahoma State
would also be, and that fact, well
known to the Republicans, would
mean two Democratic United
States Senators, as well as a member
of the lower house of Congress,
to say nothing of the State administration.
After spending some time in
Charlotte with his brothers, Messrs.
E. Ji. And 1?. D. Springs, and
other relatives and friends, Mr.
Springs will return to El lteno.
