COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Fridge Across Enoree River in 8
Dangerous Condition.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Please allow mespace
our County Commissioners to the con-
dition of the bridge over Enoree River
on the road leading from Maybinton to
Newberry c. H. This bridge has not
been safe for heavy loaded wagons to
cross Oh for the last twelve months and
it was so reported to the outgoing
commissioners, who had few braces
placed under it, which in our opinion,
added very little to the strength or
support of the bridge. The fact is the
builder failed to run his braces far
enough back over the piers to keep the
weight of the bridge from pulling itself
down. It's own weight has caused it
to droop very considerably in the
middle of the suspension and it will so
continue to sink down until it finally
tumbles into the river, unlessit is made
secure by being properly fixed.
A few weeks ago the same engine
that caused the bridge at Whitmires to
give way crossed back on this bridge
and caused some of the cordage over
head to show signs of giving way. The
last time l crossed over the bridge I
saw very perceptib!y how much more
the bridge had given down since the
crossing over of the engine than it was
before, and [ assure you, Sir, that I
crossed over with great fear and tremb-
ling and L promised myself that if I
had to 60 to Newberry again soon I
would 60 round by fiat crossing. It
would not surprise me to hear any time
of some wagon, mules and teamster
going crashing down in Enoree and
perhaps some good mans life lost, by
the fault ofsome ones judgment. Now
MIR. Editor, | am not perpetual
grumbler, or fault finder, and DO not
care to 80 appear to others, but would
like to know at whose door to lay the
blame of bad bridge building. We have
two comparatively new bridges over
this stream not exceeding twelve miles
apart that have given way and are in q
dilapidated condition. Now we want
to know who is responsible for this
waste of pubic money. Certainly not
our present board Of mmissioners for
the bridges were built before they
came into office. | scarcely think
that the out going board would will
ingly receive work that was not, in
their opinion, all right, but some how
something was lacking in the building
of these two bridges, perhaps in one
the timbers were too frail for such q
long suspension, while in the other
bridge 1t may have been another cause.
We DOM propose to try to tell the
causes Of these two bridges giving way,
but | hope that our commissioners in
the future will be more careful how con-
tractors put up their work. I believe a
bridge should be so strongly built as to
cross with safety any portable engine
or any thing else that is hauled over
our public highways.
Now, Mr.. Editor, with one more
request, besides inviting our commits
sloners down to inspect the bridge, and
| am through with the subject. am
told by reliable parties that the new
flat that is being built at Gordons Ferry,
the only crossing We have to the S. =.
& c. R. r., will be spliced gunnels. T
don't know anything about the con-
tract, but am opposed to spliced gun
neis. l think the com missioners ought
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1893-08-30

to put us good Fat in at that point.
My Own knowledge and observation OF
spliced gunnels is that they don't last
as long as solid gunnels, and that they
soon droop at the ends and thereby be-
come a dead load to carry over the
stream. Hoping that what I have
said will not be received at all as ap-
pearing dictatorial in this matter,
am, Yours for safety,
w. 2. OxNER.

The Same Rules.

Evansville Courier.
The present rules Of the Senate, W hich
the Republican press - unit and most
OF the metropolitan Democratic papers
are railing 1t daily. are the same which
enabled N minority to prevent the ad-
mission OF California 10 1880 with z
constitution favorable 10 African slavery.
They are the same rnles that enabled .
minority 10 1885 aud for several years
previous to 1860, to successfully resist
the attempts ofa majority to extend
African slavery into the territories.
they are the same that gave q small
minority the power to resist and defeat
an overwhelming majority in favor Of
giving the Chinese 10 this country the
right TO vote. They are the same that
were employed by the minority last year
to defeat the infamous Force bill. In
every one Of these historic instances 10
which the rules OF the Senate as they
exist to-day were employed by the mi
nority to defeat the will OF the majority,
there was great outcry raised against
the rules We we're reminded in each
case that this 10 . government OF ma
jorities," that in this country "the ma
jority rule just as we are now Yet
the action Of the minority in all OF these
historic cases was swiftly vindicated by
The People at the polls. and it would be
difficult to find any considerable mum.

ties we're successful. Had the N ,j0rity

they have ridden rough-shod over the

to do. 1t is altogether probable that the

done had the pro-slavery majority in
