BOARDLETSCON-
TRACT FORNEW
STEEL BRIDGE.
WORK OF ERECTING CROSS
ING OVER SALUDR RIVERFl
WILL BEGIN IN NEAR
FUTURE.

Lexington, May 23-The county
board of commissioners on Saturday
awarded the contract for the build
ing of the steel bridge across Saluda
river to the Carolina Engineering
Company of Berlington. N. c., for
the sum OF ST. $50. There were five
bids in all. The Carolina engeering
Company was the successful bidder
before, but at that time the bid was
something over $4,000. The COM
pany did a considerable amount Of
wark on the bridge and had a lot of
material on the ground before it was
ordered to discontinue by the coun-
ty authorities, who had learned that
toe whole transaction was irregular
and that there were no funds in the
treasury to meet the payments.
The holding up Of the contract bv
County Supervisor Langford year
ago has saved the county more than
$4,000 on the bridge.
Work will commence on the
bridge at an early date, and there
will be no further holding up on the
part of the supervisor unles the CO.
mpany should fail to construct the
the bridge, according to the speci-
fications outlined.

might be made if the man behind
the camera would turn the crank
when the governors of the Ameri-

agitation against the display of the
Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures.
That the scene will be animated
when the governors discuss the cru
SADIE against the exhibition and con-
slider the enormous outlay they
have made to obtain the films is
considered a surer bet than any
that We're laid at Reno.

they will not attempt to oppose the

that the pictures will not be dis

The question the governors are ex.

will show the pictures at all.
If the governors decide that pub

they will be stored in the attic, to-

ables.

HERE is THE PLAN.

Get one of your friends to buy an
Edison Photograph of us, add your
name to a Promotion Certificate
which we send on request and then
cial list. You can get six more by
inducing another sale and repeat it
till you get the entire "a on the list.
If the plan works out as we'll as the
Edison people expect, they will get
out another lot of special records
later and you can keep on adding
new records as fast as you can in
duce other sales.
This is not scheme to work off
inferior records. Every one on this
list has been made for this special
purpose, by the best Edison artists
and all are equal to any Edison Am
berol Records in the regular cata-
logue.
What is more, you cannot get
them in any other way or at any
price. They are worth so cents
apiece, or $500 for the six, but you
cannot buy them at double these
prices. Then, too, they are records
that your neighbors cannot get I'M
less they also take advantage of
this special plan.
If we haven't made the plan clear,
call at our store and We will tell
you more about it.
