Not So Very Slow.

To tho Spartanburg Spartan, which
says "Old York is a little slow" We beg
to remark that 1t Is an undisputed fact
that tho highest evidence Of civilized
progress that has ever developed any
where, is in the building Of first-class
public highways. York county set the
pace In this kind OF progress several
years ago, and just at this time the to wn
of Yorkville, In conjunction With the
farmer brethren just without the Jim
It's, and both assisted by the county, is
engaged in the building Of the most ex-
pensive and durable section OF public
highway ever attempted In this state,
outside Of an incorporated town or city.
We might say something about our
cotton factories and numerous other
enterprises; but it is not necessary.
The thoughtless suggestion that either
York county, or the town Of Yorkville,
Is slow makes US charlottesville En-
quirer.
We take it all back when we call to
mind that wonderful highway from
Howell's Ferry to Yorkville. We will
never call Old York slow again.1

 Struck by Lightning on South Front

 The work of the New York diver, un- der the caisson at the Grand avenue drawbridge, is carried on under serious drawbacks, the severe storms and con- sequent freshet in the river washing back the gravel about as fast as it is taken out. The diver Is now on his second week and is likely to be em- ployed another week before the damage is repaired When the foundation for the pier is made secure the work on the pier will soon be completed, and the piers will be ready to receive the super structure, which can be placed in posi- ton in about sixty days. An old Fair Havener who remembers when the old bridge was built in 1862 says that the superstructure was placed on the piers in twenty-seven days. The most difficult job with the new bridge will be the placing of the heavy draw and It's ma chinery in position. The west end spans will be placed first and then the draw. Some false work will be built between the piers to support the spans as they are pushed into position.
