some heavy timbers fell from a
pile and crushed the little fellow.
He was playing in the
lumber yard of the Catawba
Lumber company, just aeross
the street from his home, and
the exact time of the accident is
not known. Workmen saw his
little sister and shortly after the
timbers fell one of the men
shouted to the little girl to be
careful or she would get hurt.
The little boy was not missed until
after he failed to go home to
dinner. Search was instituted
and the body found.

The accompanying picture is
one of the first made of the new
concrete and steel bridge across
the Catawba river about one and
a half miles southwest of Fort
Mill and five and a half miles
northwest of Rock Hill. The
bridge was recently opened for
traffic. The erection of the
structure was authorized by an
act of the general assembly of I
1917, passed at the instance of
the York county delegation, and
was to cost about $42,000. The
contract called for completion of
the bridge by October, 1917, but
unforseen difficulties arose in
securing labor and material, due
to war conditions, and its completion
was delated fcr several
months.
The bridge with approaches,
is approximately 1000 feet long.
It is 16 feet wide and the floor

Few Steel Bridge.
recently built by the county
forces and is in excellent condition.
The road from Rock i
Hill to the bridge will be even I
better than Fort Mill road, for it
is being built of concrete, while
the Fort Mill road is of sand and ^
clay.
The bridge takes the place of
the county bridge swept away
by the disastrous storm of July,
1916, but is about three miles
below the site of the old bridge. '
The location of the new bridge 1
reduces the distance between
Fort Mill and Rock Hill from 13
to seven miles, and the roads
are incomparably better. The
two towns are now easily within
20 minutes of each other bv
motor. Even before the completion
of the concrete road between
Rock Hill and the bridge,
motorists between Columbia and
Charlotte are finding this route
1 more attractive than the route
through Kershaw and Lancaster
counties, as tne roads are generally
as good and the distance
is shorter between the two cities
by 16 miles or more.
