York county's handsome new concrete ar.d steel bridge over Catawba river was thrown open to public use on Tuesday, There were no ceremonies attendant upon the opening of the bridge. The opening of this bridge means a saving in travel of some four or five miles between Fort Mill and Rock Hill, the distance between the two towns by the new route being slightly more than seven miles, while by the old bridge, or ferry, the distance was estimated at between 12 and 13 miles. The county chaingang came over last week, we are told, and put the road east of the river in good shape, and, with the new road between the river and Rock Hill lately worked over, the highway between the I two towns is now said to be good. ift'3 jjjiyj N. .
