KINGSTON LAKE BRIDGE OUT OE BUSINESS AWHILE. DRAW WENT TO BOTTOM IncoiivenkVnt for rarmcrt Coiuuif to Town to Have to Cross at Snow Hill Brldjtc Will do so till Repairs are Made. I Last Monday morning the draw of the Kingston Lake bridge was raised for the steamer Burroughs to i pass through, the man was letting it down after the boat had passed, when the handle to the crunk suddenly snapped in Jt wo, and that side of the draw falling down to the guy ropes, broke them like threads and fell into the lake sinking to the 1 bottom. 1 This bridge has been no little trouble and expense to the county in < the past, requiring frequent and exteosivif repairs from time to time Its reputation for trouble it seems will be kept up. There is another bridge crossing ] the lake but it is situated near Snow ' Hill and is out of the way for the farmers coming into town from the * eastern side of the Waccamaw river It will likely be a month or two b^- ( fore the county can complete the ' repairs made necessary by the ac ciuent of Monday morning, and until 1 then the people coming into town ' from that direction will have to go by Snow Hill. < Myrtle Beacli. ] Frost at last which we hope will J put an end to so much sickness. 5 We had a very cool rain on the !Oth inst. ^ The farmers through this section ( are about through digging potatoes ( and they are delighted at their fine , crop. < T.

The great increase of freight receipts at the depot has made it absolutely necessary to have more room for its accomodation and pro t e e t i o n. Freight has been received in such quantities at times during the last year or two, that the building has been packed to such an extent that it was very inconvenient for dray men and others. Freight was of ten stacked upon the porches running arouud the building. The materials for the erection of the addition to the present building have been ordered, it is said, and it will hardly be long before the pros 3nt old building will be moved across the tracks to the new site provided 311 the old Norman lot.

Scarborough was in il... im? juv mis morning, having spent the night here. He talks most in Lerostingly of the growth and development of Con way, of the awakening )f the people through the county to their own interests. He said the proposed Eddy Lake road, mention of which was made in this paper jomc time ago, would he mainly for the development of the lumber interests of the big company operating there. It would serve to give the company rail as well as water transportation for the out-put of their nill. It is likely also that the country which the road will pass froin Eddy Lake, which is at Bucksport to Maron. Tt is very likely that the whole iountrv will get some benefit from die road also, as a line of steamers will be put on to carry lumber from Hucksport to Baltimore and will be i general freight carrying business it the same time, which will give the interior merchant greater adrantages in the matter of freight rates.
