Santee Hirer Bridge. Editor County Record: When the Santee river bridge is 'completed Williamsburg county will be in touch with the world. It will be a simple matter to visit Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, etc. The road extends from Boston to Jacksonville and a teaspoonful of gas will Ukfcike one quite a way on this coastal ^Btnighway. We no longer live in the hw a. ...i+l. sl,u country; we live m tut; cii? mm urban homes. At this writing the ^B bride-across the Savannah is being ^^Lbuilt and it is pleasant to know when San tee bridge is completed the ^^^ fvazmah bridge will be ready too. is a fact that most of us howl growl about taxes. The writer D|^^^*just discovered a panacea for this .onal disease. The remedy is quite ^^Bumple. Get Mr. Sam Graham to ^^^show you this Santee project and let him tell you how cheaply we are getting it. It will make you blush because our county has given so little. Mr. Sam Graham was one of the main ones to get this bridge and he jdfutrvs the utmost praise and comI^^Bendation. It was a colossal piece ^^^B business and it is enough to make burst into floods of reproach for chill indifference. Hnnm a financial standpoint it is Ifl^Bpo&sible to tell how much we have ^^Ht&de on this project. A few figures ^^Krill set you to thinking. The ven^^^ure will cost eight hundred and fifty ^ thousand dollars, ($8i>u,uw.uuj. me Federal Government pays one half; the State of South Carolina pays V nothing; Williamsburg county sixtyr two thousand dollars; Berkeley county, r thirty-eight thousand dollars; Charleston county, three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. Now isn't it enough to make a nude ring-nosed savage writhe in delight? In actual money the county has made seven Is hundred and eighty-eight thousand f dollars. Of course the county has L. been made richer than the above ftgWk ures indicate. The bridge is being built ridiculously cheap and a more opportune time could never have V come. If the venture had been unH dertaken three years ago most likely V we would have been glad to pay three million for it. m The bridge could not be undertaken 9 'Were It not for the wonderful mar dhinery. This is probably why we I are getting the work done sa amazingly cheap. The dirt is scooped up with a steam shovel and dumped on 1 a flat-car. The shovel doesn't care for a big pine stump r,t all. The stufiip is shoveled up and thrown '' aside. A big locomotive with six or seven- flat-cars hauls the dirt "to the swamp and there it is dumped. Forty acres of land, scooped to a depth of ten to twenty-five feet, furnished the dirt for the filling. The road will be twenty-five feet to forty feet high and about forty feet wide. The length is four or four and one-half miles. Imagine the immensity of the * undertaking! All the bridges are concrete reinforced with steel. It is a wonderful sight to see the tremendously high bridges and their supports of big, gigantic white piling. There will be several small bridges of concrete before one reaches the big bridge which is to span the river. Before closing the writer would like to speak of the hospitality accorded the party. We were met at St Stephens and driven down to the camp. We had a delightful time and every minute was jeweled with a joy. Those in the party were: Messrs. I Alabrook, Hines, Greelyville; Chandler, Clarkson, Sam Graham, Lanes; ?-? * D Trin Two 4* TT ) &I1U A. n. *.?giow., young engineers were especially pleasant and the entire party was impressed with these two young men, Messrs. Boberts and Parrel. Mr. Sam Graham yas very pleasant and we owe him a big debt of gratitude for his for making the trip so thors oughly interestingi*. 'Albert Roy Register.

For ,this purpose freab fruit or fruit simply cooked should I be used. Do not have fruits too sweet or they will dull the appetite. Always stir the milk thoroughly before serving it in order to evenly dtaribute the cream, f j^Frap fish in oiled paper and it will not impart a flavor to other foods nor an odor to the refrigerator. If you are in a hurry for the vegetables, add a pinch of soda to the water when cooking them. It will not affect the taste of the vegetables and will hasten the cooking process. When nothing else will remove the I discoloration* in the bathtub, sink or toilft basin, try muriatic acid. It /JFill remove the spot at once but must be thoroughly rinsed off immediately with clear water. If used too pro* fusely it may remove the enamel finiah. An experienced laundress asserts that clothes which are improperly rinsed are more apt to scorch in ironing. She says clean clothes do not scorch easily. This is another reason for rinsing the clothes through two waters at least. She also warns housewives to use only good soap and the best bluing. Ivory ornaments may be cleaned by washing them in soap and water, then placing them in the sun to dry. Use a brush in cleaning. If they are very yellow, leave them in the sun several days and wet them occasionally during each day with soap suds. Wash in clear water after the bleaching process. o Rub-My-Tism, an antiseptic.
