Lexington.
Columbia Evening Record.
In referring to the business ad-
vatage to Columbia and large num-
ber of prosperous citizens Of Lexipg-
ton in having free bridge across
the river, we mentioned only the
Congaree bridge. There is still
another of equal, if not greater i'm
portance-the Broad river bridge.
That bridge is the outlet for the
trade of the most prosperous section
of Lexington, portion of the county
so closely allied with Columbia that
at one time there was a sentiment,
more or less pronounced, for it to
unite with Richland county. It
would pay both Lexington and Rich
land to own the Broad river bridge
and the Congaree bridge. The 3D.

some thousand of dollars to the
farmers of Lexington who trade with
Columbia, their natural market. The
subject of free bridges ia one of great
importance to Columbia, and it would

the two bridges could be purchased,
