M'tORMIGK MESSENGER
McCormick, S. C.
An Augusta traffic officer, Willie
Wilhelm, riding a motorcycle, was
;he first to cross the new bridge
oyer the Savannah river at Furey’s
?erry yesterday at its formal open
ing at 11 a. m. He was followed by
Mayor W. B. Bell in a car with
Chief John B. Kennedy, of the
fire department.
The magnificent structure, con-
usting of three steel spans each
200 feet long and a 1200 foot con
crete approach from the Carolina
side, connects South Carolina and
Ceorgia at a point 14 miles west of
Augusta, lying between McCormick
county, S. C., and Columbia coun
ty, Ga.
A movement was begun at the
formal opening yesterday by Wall
ace B. Pierce, Richmond county
attorney, who acted as chairman
of the occasion, to dedicate the
bridge to William Greenslade, re
nowned Georgia engineer, who died
before the bridge was completed.
He was one of the strong advo
cates of the crossing. Unless the
bridge is given an official title, it
will be known in the future as the
Furey’s Ferry bridge because of the
old Furey’s Ferry which ceased to
operate at six p. m. last night af
ter nearly 114 years of service.
Principal speaker of the cere
mony at the bridge where the ex
ercises were h^d, was John N.
Holder, former chairman of the
Georgia highway department, who
is now seeking the governor’s
chair. His talk, clear of political
issues, was confined to the import
ance of the bridge.
Gives Editor Credit
Attributing its erection to the
concentrated efforts of represen
tatives of the Georgia and South
Carolina highway boards, of Co
lumbia and McCormick counties
and to the city of Augusta and
Richmond county, Mr. Holder said
that his first knowledge of any at
tempt to get the bridge was an
editorial written in The Chronicle
by Thomas J. Hamilton, eoniment-
ing on a letter written to The
Chronicle by R. E. Mason, who was
a strong advocate.
Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Mason, he
further stated, in an effort to have
a road established from Augusta to
Furey’s Ferry, conferred with him
in his office immediately after the
editorial was published more than
ten years ago.
‘T feel a great pride in the com
pletion of this "magnificent struc
ture,” said John R. Phillips, of
Louisville, member of the Georgia
highway commiss^n, who was the
first speaker on the program. He
highly complimented Mr. Mason,
stating that ‘‘He never quit push
ing until the bridge was built.”
Mr. Phillips described a confer
ence several years ago between J.
Frank Carswell, highway commit
tee chairman of the Augusta
chamber of commerce; C. E. Jones,
chairman of the South Carolina
highway commission; Ben M. Saw
yer, secretary and Senator Frank
C. Robinson, of McCormick county.
He said the Carolina delegates
•high-hatted” those from Georgia
out that ‘‘Georgia called their bluff
and rushed in to put up the
oridge.”
Senator Robinson, who enjoyed
the distinction of being the only
senator for McCormick county be
fore he resigned to become a mem
ber of the state tax commission,
declared that McCormick county,
with an allotment of $250,000 for
road work in 1927 spent $125,000
toward the bridge construction.
“South Carolina,” he jokingly
said, “had to browbeat Mr. Phillips
into building the bridge. Neverthe
less, it is a realization of the
dreams in the minds of McCor
mick people.”
Many Introduced
Aside from the speakers, Mr.
Pierce introduced to the gathering
of several hundred road enthusi
asts, highway advocates and states’
officials, Mayor W. B. Bell, of Au
gusta: T. J. Hamilton, Frank H.
Turner, H. C. Middleton, R. E. Ma
son, Julian M. Smith, and many
others.
Before the speaking the Carolina
delegation, gathered on their side
of the river, were escorted over to
the Georgia side by Wallace
Pierce and John R. Phillips and
joined the Georgia delegation.
Traffic was allowed to cross the
bridge yesterday and last night
without paying toll charges. B.
Jfchpjnpson, field auditor for the
South Carolina highway board, an
nounced that the charges would go

into effect this
morning at
six
o’clock.
The century-old Furey’s Ferry
continued to haul passengers and
was last seen chugging across the
river with a dilapidated Ford road
ster aboard.
Official? Feted
The official delegates, 44 in
number retired to an elaborate six-
course luncheon at the Richmond
hotel at 1:30 p. m. as guests of the
local chamber of commerce, and
several other speeches were made.
Mayor Bell, on behalf of the city
of Augusta, thanked the South
Carolina delegation for their co
operation and their attendance
here. He added, referring ro the
automobile license situation in th^
twe states. “We wish to tell you
South Carolina people to come on
over to Georgia, tag or no tag. We
are glad to have you.”
Butler Holley, chairman of the
Richmond county commission,
thanked all parties participating.
He was complimented by Frank
Carswell, toastmaster, for his un
tiring efforts in promoting the
bridge project.
R. N. Edmunds, county commis
sioner of McCormick, spoke of the
general conditions in this section
50 years ago. He said that 50
years ago, in his boyhood, it took
him five days to travel from Mc
Cormick to Augusta.
“That’s what I call progress,” he
stated: “I recall that my first
trip over the river on a ‘pole barge’
with five negroes poling it across.
There were horse-drawn carts, low
buildings and jio pavement in Au
gusta. Today Augusta has splen
did hospitals, prolific charitable
institutions and beautiful build
ings, residential and commercial,
showing that you people have pro
gressed greatly in material things.”
Mr. Hamilton, in a short talk as
a native of Columbia county, said
“I don’t believe there is a parallel
anywhere in the south to Augusta’s
bridge conditions. We have four
great bridges over the river and
will build four paved roads to
natch ohem.”
Former Mayor Speaks
Julian Smith, former mayor of
Augusta when the movement was
first advocated; Judge P. B. Mun-
dy, chairman of the Columbia
county commission; Wallace Pierce
promipent Augusta lawyer; R. E.
Matthewson, chief of the Georgia
revenue department; Mr. Carswell,
George C. Blount, state mainten-
,ance engineer; H. E. Newton, as-
' sistant maintenance supervisor;
J. B. Johnson, assistant supervisor;
H. C. Middleton, road enthusiast;
J. J. Dorn, McCormick capitalist;
F. H. Turner, and Senator West, of
Abbeville, S. C.; also delivered
short addresses.
Mr. Phillips, supported by Mr.
Turner, advocated a free bridge
! and asked the South Carolina del
egation to sponsor such a move in
their state to remove the toll.
The toll house was erected as
part of the expenses of the struc
ture to raise interest on the $125,-
1000 bonds issued by McCormick
county when the contract was let
December 24, 1927. The bridge's
total cost is estimated at $250,000.
South Carolina spent $34,000, it
was said, building a new road to
the bridge about two and one-half
miles long.

Lesson for June 15
JESUS ON THE CROSS
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 27:1-GG.
GOLDEN TEXT—Looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before
him, endured the cross, despising the
rhame, and is set down at the right
hand of .the throne of God.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus on the
Cross.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus on the Cross.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Suffering of the Cross.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Calvary.
The grand climax of the six months’
lessons is reached in this one. To
miss the significance of the crucifixion
of Christ will be to render valueless
all the preceding lessons. It is not a
matter of learning the lessons taught
by a great teacher or imitating the
examples of a great and good man,
but of i apprehending the atonement
made by the world’s Redeemer.
I. The Place of Crucifixion, (vv.
33. 34).
They led Him away to Golgotha, a
hill north of Jerusalem, resembling
a skull. Ue was crucified “without
the gate" (Ifeb. 13:12). At first lie
was compelled to bear His own cross,
hut when physical weakness made.it
impossible for Him to continue, they
compelled Simon the Cyrenean to bear
it for Him (v. 3*2). In order to strength
en Him for the ordeal before He was
nailed to the cross, the soldiers of-
erod Him a stimulant of vinegar mixed
with gall. Lie refused the stimulant
offered and consciously drank the
cup of sin to its bitter dregs.
II. Gambling for the Clothing of
the Lord (vv. 35. 30).
It was the custom for the soldiers
who had charge of a crucifixion to
receive the garments of the one cruci
fied. We have here a fulfillment of
Psalm 22:18. What sacrilege for them
to gamble for His seamless robe un
der the very cross where He was
dying!
III. The Accusation (v. 37).
It was customary to place over the
victim on the cross his name and in
dicate hi« crime. This superscription
was placed over Jesus by Pilate to
vex the Jews. He was their King in
absolute truth. They had long looked
for Him and now. when He had come,
this is the kind of treatment they
gave Him.
IV. Two Malefactors Crucified
With Him (v. 8S).
We are not told who they were.
Perhaps they belonged to the hand of
Barabbas. This was another fulfill
ment of Scripture (Isa. 53:)2). In
these three crosses we have set forth
a spiritual history of the whole world.
V. The Dying Savior Roviled (vv.
39-44).
This reviling was engaged in by tbe
passerby, the chief priests, the scribes,
elders, and tbe malefactors who were
crucified with Him.
1. “He saved others, Himself He
cannot save” (v. 42).
This jest was meant to show the ab
surdity of Jesus’ claims, but it demon
strated them and showed the reason
for His suffering. He could not save
Himself and others, so He chose to
give Himself to save others.
2. “If he be the king of Israel, let
him now come down from the cross”
(v. 42). His refusal to abandon the
cross established Hfs rightful claims.
The devil offered Him the kingdoms
of the world if He would escape the
cross (Matt. 4:8-10). Through His
death He came into His place of king-
ship over all who bow to Him.
3. “He trusted in God. Let him
deliver him now” (v. 43).
His obedience unto death was the
sacrifice which met God’s full ap
proval.
VI. The Death of Christ (vv. 45-50).
Who is sufficient to comment upon
this tragedy! Let us contemplate it
In adoration and wonder. So shock
ing was this crime that nature threw
around the Son of God a shroud that
the godless company could not gaze
upon him. Darkness was upon the
land at noonday. Upon the termina
tion of the darkness. He cried with a
loud voice. “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?” He became
sin for the world and the world's sin
hid God’s face from Him. God for
sook Him, turned from Him who had
taken the sinner's place. God was
dealing with sin on the innocent sub
stitute. No one can understand that
but God, but we can believe. When
the price of sin was paid, He cried
out with a loud voice, showing that
He stitl had vitality; that His death
was not from exhaustion, but by His
sovereign will. He yielded up the
ghost and sent away His spirit
Kindness
Full half our holiness is shown in
simple, everyday relations with our
fellow men; and nine times out of ten
the best immediate expression for our
love of God and gratitude to Christ
is found in some small kindness to
our neighbor.—Isaac Edwards.
God Can Bo Trusted
The God who ordained the beginning
can safely be trusted with the end, as
with all that lies between.—Christian
Evangelist.
Nature Thought of
Everything
Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body is about to become ill, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if our children grind their teeth
when they deep, or lack appetite, or
suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, wc should
know that they may have contracted
worms. Then, if wo are wise, we buy a
bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and
safely and surely expel tbe worms. Thus
we avoid the danger bf very serious
trouble. White’s Cream Vermifuge costs
only 85c a bottle, and can be bought from
