The Republican Journal, Thursday, November A. 1898

Two sections-at the extreme ends of the
bridge-will need attention very soon, and if
work is begun on them this fall considerable
advance can be made towards having SUBJ
stantial bridge in the near future. The plan
was outlined in The journal of August 4th
1898. and is, in brief, to fill in with field
stone the sections as they need strengthen.
ing until the whole Except such portions as
are necessary to allow for the flow of the tide
and for the draw are built up solid. When
such a bridge is once built it is permanent
and the expense of keeping the road-bed in
repair is reduced to a minimum. The money
that would be required to pay the interest
on the cost of steel bridge as proposed by
Elk Mayor Hanson, would in ten years time
rebuild the lower bridge as outlined above.
After ten years the expense of repairs and
danger of collapse or losing the bridge by
freshet would be very slight, as the road
way, except perhaps 400 feet, would be on
solid rock. Another point not to be lost
sight of is that while a steel or iron bridge
at the foot of Main street would cost per-
haps, 800, &C., all of which would go out of
town, the stone bridge would cost hardly
1.-THE of that amount and nearly all would
be paid TO our own citizens for material and
labor. When the time arrives to rebuild
any portion of the bridge, the planking of
short section be taken up on one side,
leaving one-half the width for travel, and
the stone can be hauled on and dumped I'M
til the section is filed in; then the other
side taken up and the travel begin over the
new part The plan meets with general
favor so far as we have heard opinions ex-
pressed.

TO THE SOLDIERS.

Rev. O. G. Jones preached Il timely
sermon to the Catawba Rifles last Sun
day morning. He took his text from
Joshua IA, xii-Give me this mountain
The Rock Hill correspondent Of THE En-
QUIRER sends the following summary:
After making touching reference to the
Southern heroes, the Confederate vete'
rams and their sons who are following in
in the footsteps of their fathers, the speak
er presented Caleb AZ a model man and sol
dier. He presented his characteristics
under the following heads:
1st. He was a faithful follower of the
Master.
End. He was courageous follower Of
the Master.
3rd. He planned great things and did
great things for God.
4th. God gives great souls great things
to do.
The speaker took the ground that this
war was not sent on us as a curse, but a:
an opportunity to set a precedent for the
nations, so that no nation would eve
again be allowed to oppress the weak.
The speaker claimed that it was provi
dental, and that the result would be ,
glorious victory for civilization and th'
church of God. He closed by making /
touching appeal to the soldier boys wht
are going now into danger.
He plead with them to place themselve:
directly under the providence of God, il

MUST DEFEND THE FLAG.
A Rock Hill Negro Sends Note to His
Race.

Race.
Editor Yorkvile Enquirer: No time
now for the black man to talk about jim
Crow cars, acknowledgements, or anything
else of local nature, for the inevitable is
upon us and must be met; not by the
white man or the black man, but by the
citizens of the United States of America.
Therefore, we must stand by the stars and
stripes and never let the old flag touch
the ground. 1t is not the honor OF any
one state that is ut stake but the honor OF
this great nation. And as the black man
lives under and is protected by this flag,
he must he loyal to it and dance when
the music plays. Any citizen, however
humble his capacity, who will not answer
the call of his country, is unworthy the
consideration of a citizen and the protec-
ton of the government. The government
needs benefactors in such times as these
and not all beneticarics. We must settle
with Spain first; then we will have ample
time to adjust our affairs at home. we
must proceed now on general principles
and not upon the grounds Of localisms.
The Negro has taken the oath of "allegi-
ance," and he must die by it. And II he
expects the protection and trienuShlp OF
the white man, he must stand with him
when foreign invasiOns threaten.
