TO ROADS AND BRIDGES
Commissioner watson Tells of the
Damage to the Public Roads
Spartanburg Moving to Rebuild
Mountain Highway.

!Suecial to The Herald and News.
Columbia, Aug. 9.-Reports from
various sections of the State are be-
ing received by Commissioner E. }.
Watson in regard to the damage to
bridges and highways by the recent

ba-Wateree course were destroyed,
which has practically cut off the
lower section of the State from the
Piedmont, in the yHatter Of public
highway travel.
The Commissioner announced this
morning that information received in
his Office was to the effect that the
Piedmont highway from Greenville
and Poinsett Springs to Asheville and
Andersonville has been opened up,
and is in good condition. Considerable
damage was wrought between Mel
rose and Saluda, on the Appalachian
highway between Spartaburg, Hen
dersonyille and Asheville, and work is
being pushed to put the road in con-
dition.
Mr.. Paul v. Moore, of the Spartan
burg Chamber of Commerce, thus
writes Commissioner Watson with
reference to the roads through
spartanburg to the mountains:
"Of course our up country roads
were badly washed, and traffic on the
Appalachian highway has been tenn
porarily suspended The Spartan
burg Chamber of Commerce, however,
has taken this road in hand and has
raised a sum of $1,000, which is to be
expended between Tryon and Saluda-
Advice by phone today states that this
road will be open for travel by Friday
of this week. Green River bridge,
beyond Saluda, is being rebuilt, and
we hope to reach Hendersonville by
Saturday night"
Commissioner Watson announced
that the road between Columbia and
Spartanburg is in good condition ex-
cept just this side of Spartanburg,
where a detour by Jonesville is neces-
sary.
