Finey, our congress man, has our thanks for public docu ments sent to us and our neighbors. County Commissioner W. 8 Wilk- erson, of York county, is a man af ter our own heart. He is a far-see ing, wide-awake progressive citizen with broad views and unselfish aims. In speaking of the free ferry at Howell’s tne other day be said: “We need not think that this will last always. If I live five years from now, and perhaps less, I expect to see a steel bridge span this river right up yonder at Brown’s Shoal. The won derful resources of these two coun ties and the advancement of their mutual interest demand it. We have the greatest country in the world and this is only one of the primary moves towards its develop ment The time is coming when we can’t afford to wait on tardy ferry men or contend with impassable fords. Swollen J rivers or sand-bars. It’s going to be a necessity in the near future and we might as well begin to think about it and make prepara tions to meet its demand. It’s com ing sure.” Mr. Wilkerson is one of those cool calculators in whose judgment his people*have the utmost confidence. We have known him from boyhood and have unbounded confidence in his judgment. Tne low price to which the ma terial for building Iron bridges has been reduced, as compared with the former years, the increasing demand for better traveling facilities and the prospective future development of our country are the three contin gencies which makes Mr. Wilker son’s prediction a plausible one. That these public conveniences will be placed along the river wherever needed we have no doubt, and that all our people, irrespective of tne lucali'y in which they live, will be ben* fitted. Since the meeting held at Gaffney on the 4th inst.. our people have been thinking about what they can do for the county at the Inter-State ana West Indian Exposition Some fine specimens of granite are found in this section.
