COUNTY BRIDGES WRECKED.
A Prospective Bridegroom Who
Came Near Losing His Life.

The storm will cost Wake county good
round sum for the rebuilding and repair
of bridges.
Reports, though incomplete, indicate
that a large number of bridges have been
either washed away or wrecked At least
three on Swift Creek are now impossible
At Rand mill the abuttments of the bridge
are gone, the bridge at Mrs. Barnes on
the Atkins road is partially gone, while
the one at Whitaker's mill is so upset
that it will have to be entirely rebuilt.
Residents along Swift Creek say the
water was higher than they have known
it cine 1867,
The bridge over Cross Briar Creek, in
Cedar Fork township, was completely de-
stroyed.
The bridge is gone over both Middle and
Swift creeks on the Ellington road, over
Swift creek on the Fayetteville road and
over Steep Hill creek on the Covenant
road Raleigh is therefore almost COM
petely cut off from the country.
Though a number of bridges along Crab
tree creek are reported as badly dam
aged, the new iron bridge that the coun-
ty has built over this stream near Raj
eigh is safe, though the water is 2h
inches higher than it has ever been known
before.

Chinese government for many years,
so far AS it's relations with foreign
governments are concerned, was the
replacing of the Tsung-li- Yaman,

Capt. George P. Ahern, who looks
after the forestry interests of the
U. S. in the Philippines has been
smashing some popular errors. He
said: "A mistaken idea prevails in
the o. S. that most Of the Philippine
tim Der is of varieties very valuable
for cabinet making. There are sew
EN- or eight varieties which take a
fine finish, but apart from these none
of the native woods are likely to find
their way to the U. S. The COM
merce which has already sprung up
in small way between the islands
and the Pacific coast is restricted by
the uncertainty OF profit on the stuff
that comes this way, as well as by
the uselessness of some our woods in
the Philippines. The white ant,
which is the terror of the forests in
the archipelago, will eat pine, fir and
other soft woods, but will not touch
cedar. The Quartermasters De-
partment has made some experiments
in shipping fir, red wood, spruce
and pine from the Pacific coast for
the construction of storehouses and
other military buildings, but the raw
ages of the ant doom those struc-
lures to be short-lived. On the
other hand, cedar is pretty expen-
sive and not strong enough for use
in much structural work. Tie ma
tive woods which are proof against
insect plaques will probably continue
to be used chiefly for buildings"
Commissioner General of Immi-
grafton Powderly has declined to
give free advice to the Hawaiian
sugar planters by expressing an
opinion as to whether they can i'm
port laborers for their plantations
from the Philippines. They we're
allowed to import Porto Ricans, but
they have not made satisfactory
laborers. If allowed to import la
borers from the Philippines, there
is very little doubt about the kind
of laborers they will be. Chinese
coolies are what these planters are
after. MIR. Powderly says the Ha-
waiiau planters can get all the la
borers they want among the negroes
in the South if they will pay them
sufficient wages. That's the rub.
1t is cheap labor these planters have
grown rich on, and that is what they
want now.
