Locks In Ancient Euypt.

The Egyptian lock, states the Iron.
monger. was an assemblase OF wooden
pins or bolts. II is possible that this
suggested to Bramah his remarkable
invention. The Roman lock was prac-
tcally a paddock: and It seems prob
able that the key was OF Green origin.
In Latin countries the locksmith never
confined himself to mere door furni-
ture. At the very beginning--as now
oNavs in France--his art embraced all
tie wrought ironwork which serves to
close and secure our dwellings, from
a monumental garden gate and rail-
ings to simple latchkey. That art
reached its apogee about the fifteenth
or sixteenth century. so far az the
former class Of work was concerned.
Some medieval specimens-the hinges
Of the doors at Notre Dame, for In
Btance-are 80 remarkable that en-
vious and humorous contemporaries
have not failed to hint that the smith
who executed them must have sold his
soul to the devil.

BRIDGE NOT INJURED
BY BROKEN Mill dam
Steel Bridge WithstOOd Strain
Of Flood

The breaking of the dam of the
Council mill near Americas did no
damage to the new steel bridge on the
Lee street road, a quarter of a mile
below the mill, as was done upon a
similar occasion a year or two ago
when a substantial concrete bridge,
costing nearly $4,000, was broken by
the flood of water from the millpond.
Instead of rebuilding the bridge OF
concrete the county commissioners
constructed steel bridge eighty feet
in length, with sufficient width be
tween abutments to provide against
any such accident as the breaking OF
the milldam and consequent torrent
OF water let loose upon the Lee street

Wheeler county, went to sign a CON
tract Tor the building of the court
house, which had been advertised and
set for today, some citizens of Glen
wood and other parts of the county
filed a bill of injunction against him
as ordinary, alleging that he had no
authority, as ordinary, to sign the
contract for the purpose of building
the courthouse.
1t is alleged that the county COM
customers only have the right and
power to sign a contract to build the
courthouse. 1t is also claimed by
others that the bill creating Wheeler
county named in the same certain Of
ftcers, among them the county COM
missioners, but did not give the said
commissioners any power to act, and
further that the said commissioners
cannot act until a special act OF the
general assembly is enacted, naming
their powers and duties. Judge e. ID.
Graham set the hearing for o'clock
on the 18th inst, at McRae. In the
meantime work on the courthouse is
stopped, awaiting orders of the judge.
