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."
