crviSnr John NJ. Schumpcrt said that
he was disposed to meet the commlS-
Sioncrs OF Saluda county on the steel

ed at the Joint meeting Of the COM

the bridge because they see the neces-
sitv for it. The Saluda commits
sioners have stated definitely that
they will wipe their hands clean OF
the whole bridge question: unless
given thirty days more for further
consideration Of the bridge before
final action" and the Newberry COM
missioners are forced to accede to
this demand or to drop the whole
matter.
There has been no satisfactory rea-
son assigned for the delay on the
part of Saluda county. The note OF
the clerk 81 the Saluda board was
published in full in the last issue.
