These facts should be very

70 Buy the Bridge.

Columbia Evening Record % inst.
1.-The card in The Record yester-
day afternoon hit the weak spot in
the growth of this city," said a prom
inert merchant here today. The card
referred to called attention to the
fact that the train schedules from
the Piedmont and the toll bridges
across the Congaree and Broad Sc
riously hampered the growth of the
city. It has attracted great deal
of attention and is matter for con-
siderable discussion this morning by
members of the chamber of commerce
and business men generally.
"There is but one way out of it,
said the merchant. "Columbia must
buy the bridge and arrange for the
schedules. The latter is compare
lively easy and steps are now being
taken looking toward this end; but
the buying of the bridge is different
proposition. I see only one way.
Agitate the matter in the press OF
the city untiI everybody realizes that
the bridge must be owned by the
public"
The proposition advanced in Colum'
bia calls for the purchase OF the
bridge by the counties of Lexington
and Richland, with Columbia paying
one-third of the cost. This would
mean the issuance of bonds possibly
or the levyipg of tax of one half
mill for one year, but the returns
would more than justify the money
spent. The owners or lessees of the
bridge would be perfectly willing tc
sell, and have often said 30, but they
wish return for their money spent
which is perfectly jastif4ble. The
proposition advanced by citizen ir

clusion that a handsome salary was
attached to the Office.
This race is more interesting than
any that has been held since our
town was chartered; forecast could
not be made as all the candidates are
popular and have many supporters.
The race for defendant seems to be
the most eagerly sought for. Mr..
Brice McCombs is q candidate for
