" 1 Cooper River Bridge 1 Largest in World % *' 11 111 ^ The first week in August will sua the completion of an engineering feat j which for the last year has centered i the eyes of the engineering world on ? the old seaport of Charleston, where o much history has been mgrfe. On August ?th, traffic will begin to move across the three-mile long double cant tilevei span over Cooper river bridge, which is higher than the Brooklyn bridge and is in itself the largest bridge of its kind in the world. A mammoth opening celebration will begin on that day. With the opening of the bridge, the highway routes from the far North to the far South eventually will be shortened by several score miles. With the proposed improvement shortly of the highway along the Atlantic coast from Wilmiugton to Charleston, the road over tlie Cooper river bridge will eliminate in that distance a minimum of 40 milea for the motorist. The bridge not only serves to shorten the distance to Charleston but opens up a hitherto -undeveloped and fertile agricultural area to the west. Costing approximately aix million dollars, the Cooper river bridge is unlike any other engineering project elsewhere in the world as to- size, length, height and design. The massive bridge is formed of 14,.r>00 feet of steel structural work and is in reality two connected cantilever bridges over two bodies of water ?the Cooper river and Town creek. It rises from the west hank of Town creek and after attaining its height at n grade of less than 6 per cent., drops to within 50 feet of the water, curves I to the right and begins another as cent of 5 per cent, until the height trestle leading into the roadway approach on the east Dankiof ^he Coop ~ of the Cooper river span is reached It then drops and takes A curve on the er river. The connecting cantilever span over the Cooper Tiver proper is the fifth longest in the world and the sptfa over Town creek is the 12th longest ever built. The largest ships afloat can pass under the bridge with no in-1 convenience, as there are not a dozen | afloat which would even have to lower the top mast tip. Probably in the case 1 not more than one vessel in several hundred will this be necessary. V Indicative of the size of the bridg-j is the fact that the distance is 1,000 feet between the supporting piers in the center of the main stream and between the piers of the Town creek span 600 feet. The concrete roadway deck is 160 feet from the high water mark. The combined cantilever span and trestle work far exceed any previous attempt and place this bridge in a class by itself. 1 The Cooper river bridge will be fovehiculnr traffic only and the 200 foot wide concrete roadway can accommodate 1,400 automobiles at a time, it is estimated. Iteferred to as a monument and tribute to the ability of American engineers, the Cooper river bridge not 6nly opens up a previously undeveloped area along the Carolina roast, but will bring recognition and use of the ocean highway route from Washington, D. C? Norfolk, Wilmington, Carrie Nation Was Prohibition Crusader Many of th? younger generation perhaps never heard pt Carry Nation, crusader for prohibition in the Mid*, die West 25 years and more ago and the Iniquitous liquor traffic whtch she undertook to destroy. The following extracts from u "Story of Carry Nation" how running in The Outlook and Independent therefore ought to be of peculiar interest to the young people today. During the height of her efforts in behalf of prohibition, Carry Nation's fame was nation-wide. Assisted by numbers of those who were in sympathy with her methods, she destroyed thousand* of dollars worth of equipment and fixtures of saloons, her weapon being a hatchet, with which she played havoci "Even the most cursory examination of Carry Nation's career is,;jsufficient to show that she gave direction and increased impetus to the prohibition movement; that she, more than any other one person, transformed it from Apologetic weakling into a militant giant of overwhelming power; and that the prohibitionists are vustly indebted to her for their final legal, if not actual, success. . . . She attracted attention to the saloon as no one had ever done before; and it could not have been otherwise than harmful, for it was directed, not to the companionship and good cheer to be found in manv bar-rooms, but to the crime that originated in them, to the corruption in which they weltered, and to the mi-< ry and poverty that followed unrestricted drinking. "Instead of recognizing the precarious nature of their trade, the liquobatons were arrogant and belligerent. They meddled openly and offensively in local problems and affairs that in no wise concerned them; they brazenly maintained legislative lobbies, and bribed state, county and municipal officials; they poured gold into the coffers of the political parties with scant effort at concealment. "The dignity that had been the saloon-keeper's most pronounced characteristic during the 20 or 30 years that followed the Civil war, had vanished by the middle eighteen nineties, to Charleston, via Georgetown. This route is seldom used by motorists as a through route, because of the necessity of depending upon infrequent ferry schedules and because the highway has not been- hardsurfaced. The opening of the bridge will solve one difficulty and the hard-surfaced mad is expected to follow shortly. From the inner fim of Charleston harbor or from the outskirts of the city the huge bridge towers above the city skyline and itself resembles a monument to the skill and vision of the men who designed and built it. The low, level surrounding country causes an even greater impression of height and vastness, and the bridge, seen from the highway leading into the city, seems to stretch across the roofs of tallest buildings. From the bridge itself the view of the historic city of Charleston, the adjacent beaches, the converging rivers and beautiful harbor is remarkable. Sheep Take a rail o Boise, Idaho, July 26.?Two Uiousand sheep in the Boise forest, frightened into a stampede by a boor, plunged over a cliff and 400 of them were killed, the local forest office was informed. The sheep, belonging to Colethorp and Pearson of Mountain ' Home, Idaho,.' were grazing on Fall Creek, la tributary to the South Fork of the ' [Boise river. Practically the entire band went over the cliff, but the loss was principally among fat ? lambs, fust being rounded up for market. ; Rupert F, Mills, famous fpotball and baseball player of a decade ago, was drowned Saturday in Lake Hopatcong, N. J. . * Anyway, Mr. Hoover has three months to get up courage to veto a party tariff bill.?Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette. and in the main he conducted his barroom with no regard .for public decency and without protest permitted his premises to become the loafing, place of criminals and the most degenerate elements of the population. He might have retained at least n measure of public good-will by obeying such regulatory laws as Sunday closing and the sale of liquor to minors and known drunkards, but he openly violated them with the connivance of corrupt policemen and politicians. Instead of keeping to the side streets and conducting his business with- a minimum of ostentation, the saloon-keeper insolently acquired the best corner of the principal thoroughfare and opened wide his doors: everything that transpired within was a matter of common knowledge, and to thousands a source of continual irritation,?humiliation and disgust. "The iniquities of the saloon were more apparent in the rural districts, for in the cities a drunken man might pass unobserved, whereas in the smaller centers of population he was a public spectacle and a horrible example. And everyone knew, also, when a man neglected his family because of drink and spent his substance in riotous living. In hundreds of American towns the buildings adjoining a saloon were either perpetually vacant or were occupied by barber shops or by stores which catered exclusively to men; women could rarely be induced to trade within half a block of an open barroom'. Nor would they pass one if they could otherwise reach their destinations, for the sidewalks were nearly always wet and slippery with stale beer, and the foul odors thrft seeped over and under the swinging doors, and the oaths and obscene language with which the ordinary drinking man interlarded his conversation, were offensive to most men, to say nothing of the fastidious ladies of the period. And on Saturday, when the farm hands came to town for their weekly sprees, the saloon areas were asprawl with drunken men who made the night hideous with their howling and cursing, and the streets were so unsafe that in thousands of towns women were rarely seen abroad after dusk."
