ers.
The bridge was built fifty-two years
ago and during the past few months
there has been considerable doubt re-
garding it's safety, heavy traffic being
kept off on a number of occasions.
Two large cables of the bridge were
pulled from their moorings, fitting the
floor and sliding people and wagons
off. Later the strain snapped one OF
the cables on the lower side, the floor
turning completely over as it dropped.
All the rescued were numbed and
chilled and suffering from the shock.
The fire department did good work
and the steamer Baxter broke ice in
order to get small boats up. The
crash was heard all over Charleston
and in the country.
During the Civil war the cable OF
this bridge was cut by General Wise
when he evacuated Charleston, the
bridge at the same time being par
