The county commisBionerB have been spending the last day or two listening to arguments and receiving petitions asking for a change in the location of the bridge across Broad river. It is a pity that all parties cannot be accommodated in this mat ter, but the commissioners, after giving respectful attention to ail claims, have decided to locate the bridge as originally proposed. We believe they have acted wisely and for the best interest of the largest number of people. Having traversed the territory several times and being quite familiar with the geography of the county we cannot see bow they could do otherwise. We commend them for giving attention to those who differed with them and believe they have acted upon the matter after giving it careful consideration. This bridge is but the forerunner of others. It will only be a question of time, and a very short time at that, when the development of the magnificent water powers on Broad river within the bounds of Cherokee will necessi tate the erection of other bridges. With the advent of more manufacto ries, the denser population of the county, and the building of magnifi cent public roads from one end of the county to the other the bridges must come, and they will come right along with these enterprises. We will need three or more bridges and the loca tion of the first one will accommodate more people than any other to follow, but it will only open the eyes of the people to the necessity of the others. The people residing in the extreme corners of Cherokee township must be accommodated and they will be accommodated, and we believe they are generous enough to yield for the time being, believing that more peo ple can he accommodated from the present location than from any other. The contract for the bridge has been let to the Virginia Bridge and Iron Company, of Norfolk, Va., the bid received from them being $6 195 Work will begin as soon as practica ble aud the bridge will be run up in short order.

Cutting came to Gaffney fresh from being initiated into tbe myste ries of tbe fraternal order of Elks. He had hardly set foot oo the ground before he began singing iti praises, and about the first thing he did was to gain the tuneful ear of Alderman George Cotton. Tbe result of the confabulation is that a lodge of Elks for Gaffney is almost an assured fact. There have been about twenty who have expressed a desire to join snd the number is growing daily. The Elks is one of the strongest orders in the country and is rapidly growing, and there is no good reason why we should not have one here. If you are intrrested see George or Cutting and they will tell you about it. A Birthday Dinner. Wednesday was tbe anniversary of rotund and jolly Jerry Bryant.
