C0UNTYINOW BUILDING LONG
BRIDGE OVER COWPEN CREEK
TT WILL MAKE THE ROAD FROM
THIS CITY TO MT. PLEASANT
A VERY GOOD ONE.

The county convict gang is now en-
gagged in the work of constructing a
large bridge across Cowpen creek,
about fifteen miles from the city,which
is one of the worst places for auto
mobiles and vehicles generally in the
county.
This creek has been a great setback
to travel between Brunswick and Mt.
Pleasant and other points in that vi
cinity. During rainy weather there
is anywhere from six to eight feet of
water in the creek, which makes it
almost impossible. The new bridge
is to be span of 20 feet, with a we'll
built approach of about 80 feet. The
Improvement will be welcomed by the
people in the vicinity generally.
