intended the construction of the county
bridge across Catawba river at Sutton's
ferry, informs us that the bridge 1s
finished and will be open to the public
as soon as the approaches are built,
which will likely consume no more than
two weeks time. AS yet, the public
road from Fort Mill to the bridge has
not been surveyed; but 1t Is understood
that a surveyor has been employed to
do the work and will begin at once.
Immediately after the road Is surveyed,
considerable work will be done on 1t
