To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
I have been noting the wrangle
about the bridge at or near Amick's
Ferry. would ask any fairminded
man if he would not consider himself
near place if he was in two miles of
it? Again, the bridge at Amick's
would be within 4 miles of Newberry
and Saluda counties, and it would ap-
pear to be nothing but fair and just
for these people TO help in it's con-
struction, as many of them are near
enough to use it, while the people on
hi side Of Lexington County will
never see it or use it when they are
paying full value for its erection.
Then, again, they attack the matter
by saying it was put up job putting
the bridge at Still Water, and that the
final cost will be greater than at
Amick's. They seem to forget that
the bridge builders have to give bond
for good performance of contracts,
and that these people offered to build
a bridge for about 81, 900 less at Still
Water. We did not know there was a
bill to build bridge or we certainly
would have protested; but think since
there is to be one built by the people
of our county that Still Water being
more removed from outside lines, is
more proper place. Taxpayer.

 Players of any theatre going lineage at all still remember this same John DreW's superb Petruchio in ''rhe Tanning of the Shrew," as we'll as his splendidly charac- terized Tubal to Edwin Booths ShyloclS But players to whom the theatre and ac- tors are only as new as the trolly line they have built out our way are often given to the comment that "He is always John Drew The remark often passes for criticism, but it is really the reverse English of fine compliment. It is like David Orockett's famous saying that he could not acknowledge Daniel Webster a great orator because he understood every word Webster said. ATS est celare artem, runs the time worn Latin line. The great art Is to conceal ones art. In bewilderag admiration of their art we call them Rodins, Sargeants, Abbeys or Turner's. Turner is always Turner; Remington is always Remington. And for this we are thankful-just as thankful as that John Drew is always John Drew.
 Yet John Drew has expressed many times the desire to go once more to the field of Shakespearean play and old com edy which he used to have. It seems to be out of the question, however, for he has built up so great a following in the polished comedy of the modern school that they all insist upon seeing him as British bachelors of the present day. And it will be interesting to note that although few men on the stage today have played more parts than Mr. Drew, including the heroes of Shakespearean comedies, the only so- called costume plays" in which he has appeared since he became a "Frohman star" are Rosemary and "Richard Caryel
