An Expensive County Bridge.

An Expensive County Bridge.
A committee OF the levy court ex-
amined the Augustine bridge last
week and found that considerable
repairing Is necessary. Some persons
believe that it will soon be necessary
to abandon the bridge altogether
and il that is done there will be an
effort made to have laid out and
built new road further inland.
The only other possible route except
the one now followed Is through
lands Of Mr.. w. e. Vandegrift to
what is known as Wolf Island and
thence across the st. Augustine
marsh to lands OF Mr.. +. F. Dilworth
on the north side, and thence through
the private road leading from the
high light house to the public road
leading from Boyd's Corner to Port
Penn.
The long bridge which IL is now
proposed to abandon is the second
which has been built over this marsh
and cost the county somewhere in
the neighborhood Of $25,OO0 outside
Of repairs. The first bridge was
built about 1879 and cost about $2O,-
900. The repairs have probably cost
more than both the bridges together.
1t has been said by many who claim
to know that this road has cost the
county $40, 900 since 1879. Beyond q
doubt this has been very hard road
to keep up as the bridge is nearly
half a mile long with costly ap-
proaches and is subject to severe
strain from heavy storms. 1t is ex-
posed to the full force of the southeast
storms which are SO frequent. In
1873 the old bridge disappeared en-
tirely with the exception of some of
the piling. Since the new bridge was
built several thousand dollars have
been spent in making a dirt road at
the north end to replace the bridge.
The building of this dirt road all the
way across is now believed to be q
possibility should this ever be done
the marsh back of the road as well as
that in the front would soon fill up
with mud making considerable new
land.
The owners Of the Augustine marsh
would derive great benefit from such
an improvement, as the water could
then be kept of their land at small
expense. Should a new road be laid
out over the route proposed probably
500 acres would be reclaimed. The
cost to the county on the proposed
road cannot be estiRated with any
degree of certainty because Of the
uncertainty of the foundation for the
road while it is possible that $4,000
might be enough to build over the
marsh it is also possible that go, 900
might be consumed. When a great
weight is placed upon this kind OF
ground there is no telling where ii
will get to before it stops settling.
Some people declare that some of the
marsh land can be pushed clear
through to China, but this is not
borne out by past experience.

A. HUTZLER'S Sons,
3I5 east Broad street.

As nearly every family has to do some
shopping in the Dry Good, line about
this season OF the year, it is wei for
the shoppers to know what is the pest
guide for pursuing that course, when 20
some is great pleasure and to others
lust the reverse. IL we had to express
our advice in asingle sentence we should
say Avoid the merchant whose reputa-.
ton is based solely upon shrewdness, and
seek the one who is known to DO honest
and square. :,
The one you select may be shrewd
also, but he will be wise enough TO give
his customers the full benefit OF she
knowledge he has CLEANED from expe-
rience and you are safe in his hands.
We have been watching the market
closely this season and but little that
was worth knowing as to styles, prices,
or fabrics has escaped our notice. Conse-
auently our stock has been the choicest,
most attractive, and every way most sat
isfactory we have ever owned,
Dress Goods has come in for the lions
share of attention, and everything that
was worth seeing has been shown over
our counters.
The time for worsted Dress Materials
has nearly passed by, but we still have
some Of the best shades OF Henriettas,
Serges and Bourettes for those who have
not vet been supplied.

readers of the Religious Herald Is that they In.
Quire into this matter and decide for themselves
whether we do not deserve their sympathy

are making for the higher education Of our south

After a moments pause, Dr. Board added: ~
| may overestimate the Importance OF this enter
prise. My heart is so wrapped up in 1t, and my
life Is 80 dedicated 70 II, that am hardly an Inn
partial Judge as TO Its merits"

lists. II long years of noble, disinterested ser

he goes forward with his great undertaking that

Onr Fair.

Under Richmond's charter the City
Council is empowered to give financial aid
10 the Agricultural Society, and what the
society now asks is that we shall gharan-
tee the interest on the loan of $4,000
which it is about to make.
We trust that those having charge Of our
finances will see their way clear to do this.
If there are no positive reasons against it
the opportunity should be seized TO show
our faith in the success of the enterprise
and our appreciation of the public spirit
of President BUFoRp and his associates,
who in the most unselfsh spirit possible
have undertaken great work for the
public good.
Every exhibition ever held here has been
beneficial to the city, and il is 20 be re-
GREETED that any of our people need to be
persuaded of this.
II is not likely that the society will make
default in the payment Of interest, but if
il does the suretyship of the city will en-
tail upon her no very great burden-espe-
cially when We consider the benefits that
series of fairs will have distributed
throughout the community.

of SHERMAN. JOHNSTON and BRECKENRIDGE
60 arrange the terms of JoBNsToN's sur
render, puts into JoHNsToSs mouth words
that JOHNSTON probably never used.
General JOHNSTON was not fluent talker,
but he was q straightforward and sensible
one.
FIELD dressed up" his few facts until
the facts almost disappeared. But it is
true that BREcKISRIDoE was present at that
memorable interview between JOHNSTON
and SHERMAN, and no doubt his eloquence
had its effect upon SHERMAN; but the terms
of surrender were such as MIR. LINCOLN had
prescribed when LINCOLN, GRANT and
SHERMAN had their conference at City Point
In March, 1865.
General SHERMAN says that he advised
BREcKISBIDGE TO quit the country, and that
he animated to BREcKISRIDdE that it
would DO we'll for Mr.. DAVIS to do likewise.
This, too, was the idea Of Mr.. LINCOLN
conveyed at City Point and voiced by
SHERMAN.
BmoKrNRDGE did reioin Mr.. DAVIS, with
whom he had left Richmond, and went with
him as far as Washington, GA. There he
separated from the presidential party, es-
capped to Cuba. and thence proceeded to
Europe In 1868 he returned to this
country and in 1876 died at Lexington, KY.

Mr.. Blame.

Mr. JEFFERSON once said, 1--WE are all
federalists. We are all Republicans" In
q sense akin TO that in which Mr.. JEFFER-
soS employed this form Of expression,
Democrats as well as Republicans can say,
in referring TO the Italian Minister'S charge
that Mr.. BLAINE has been guilty of viola
ton of confidence, 1--WE are all Ameri-
cans" Yes. we are all Americans, and did
not allow the charge 10 make lodgment
even for a moment IN our minds. There
are some things which may DO and must
be taken for granted when We come 10 tho
consideration Of international affairs.
One Of these is that prominent states
man such as Mr. BLAINE is cannot
afford so TO demean himself as 70
inJuro his standing amongst the great
rulers Of the earth. We have in mind the
real rulers OF the earth, not the nominal
ones. We do not refer to Queen VICTORIA,
OF the King of Italy, or the King of Spain,
but 10 their cabinets or prime ministers.
SO we might say that Mr.. BLAINE and not
Mr.. HARRIsoN is the statesman who has
charge Of the diplomatic affairs of the
United States. To charge Mr.. BLAINE,
therefore, with an act of bad faith-to say
that no has been guilty of q breach of con-
fidenee-is to reflect upon the people of
the country which no represents whenever
and wherever he acts III his official capa-
city.
We need not argue this question. In
fact there is nothing TO argue about. Mr..
BLAINE, though it was not incumbent upon
him to do so, has entirely disproyed the
truth Of the charge brought against HIM by
the Italian Minister. As We intimated yes
terday, the people of this country have it
in their power to make the Italiansfee the
force of an indignant public opinion in the
United States. Italy swarms every sum-
mer with American travellers and sight
seers. All Europe recognizes them as the
most liberal of visitors and the most cos
mopolitan of cosmopolites. They are
"citizens of the world" If. therefore, the
people of tho United States desire to teach
Italy an object-lesson, all they have to do
is to spend their cash in other countries
and thus enable the Italians TO realize that
they have no lien upon the purse of UNCLE
SAM.
