CATAWBA TRESTLE
IS WASHED AWAY.
Raging Waters of Stream Too
Much For Temporary Struc-
ture on Southern Road.

Following the unusually heavy
rains of last week, the temporary
trestle on the Southern railroad over
the Catawba river has partially
washed away, as a result of which
traffic to and from Lancaster to
points North is badly interrupted.
The trestle over the Catawba was
washed away last August and was
replaced by a temporary structure,
which was expected to serve until
the permanent trestle could be. con-
structed. Saturday flood warnings
were issued for the Catawba river and
Monday morning 1t was found that
the Catawba trestle was slightly out
of line. Railroad officials would not
attempt to operate trains over the
trestle and schedules were cancelled,
while efforts were made to support
the structure but these were in vain
and last night about 81 vents or 21O
feet of the trestle went down the
river.
Trains are being operated from
Lancaster to Springfield and then
back on regular schedules but no
passengers are being brought, from
the other side of the river and mail
and express business is being routed
to this point via Columbia.
Railroad officials said last night
that ferry will probably be put in
commission at Catawba within the
next few days but they could not
make a definite statement to this ef-
feet and would not hazard guess as
to when regular service over the line
could be restored.

MR.. McCORKLE MADE
BUT ONE ADDRESS.
Short Term Congressman Paid
Tribute to the Late Da,id
Edward Finley

Lancaster county people read with
great interest the only address made
by Paul G. McCorkle in the lower
house of Congress during his stay
there of one week. Mr.. McCorkle
was elected as Congressman from the
Fifth district to fill out the unex-
pired term of the late David f. Fin
ley and the address made by the
short term representative was
eulogy to Mr.. Finley.
AS printed in The Congressional
Record of Sunday, Mr.. McCorkle's
address was
"Mr. McCorkle: Mr.. Speaker,
words. fail me when l attempt to
speak about my friend Mr.. Finley.
/ am no speech maker and / did not
know positively until came into the
chamber this morning that was 90
ing TO say anything. trust you will
all bear with me while in my humble
way / speak few words out OF the
fullness of my heart. / have known
Mr.. Finley since boyhood, you might
say. The gentleman from South
Carolina, Mr.. Byrnes, has told you
where he was born. He came to
York county when he was about four
years old, and when he came to
Yorkville, now York, he was a young
man. coming there to cast his lot
with MS, and we were proud to have
him. His experience in politics ana
also in the house OF representatives
shows what he was. He was here
nearly 90 years, and that alone
proves his ability and the love the
people had for him. He was loyal,
true, and had moral courage, which,
as we all know, everyone admires.
After he came to York he won the
hand of Miss Bessie Gist, as we all
called and knew her by that name,
one Of the most delightful young la
dies. Everyone knows who the
.Gists are, and when it comes to blood
and good breeding South Carolina
has no better. I am proud to say
that the Gist family and my family

and raised and their home. have
known them intimately all of my life.
God blessed this happy union with
five boys and three girls. and IL goes
without saying that whenever you
meet any of them 1t is a genuine
pleasure. After Mr.. Finley left us
an election was held to fill the unex-
pired term. His friends we're my
friends. and they favored me to fill
this unexpired term, which ends
March 4. and / want the member

the place of SO great man as our
distinguished and lamented David e.

liz Can't BE Did.

Lancaster is about the size OF Abb
beville. perhaps a bit larger There
are two business sections in the city
one in the city proper the other in
the mill village. The merchants of
both are pretty lively and seem to do
good business.
One of the mill village stores de-
cided to go on a strictly cash basis
the first of last December, and an
nOunced the fact in the newspapers,
also quoting a few prices that show
ed just what saving the new
method would mean for the con
sumers.
Wiseacres said sit can't be did"
Staid old merchants predicted failure
and the business element of the
town watched with increasing inter
est the outcome of "Plyler's fool no
ton" Plyler didn't talk much, but
he advertised and attended strictly
to his own business. Those of his
old credit customers who did not
have funds with which to buy for
cash he helped by lending them an
amount equal to their average week
II account. This was repaid in
weekly installments and the custom
er paid spot cash for current sup
plies.
As stated, Plyler advertised. He
did the job up brown, using half
page in each issue of his local paper,
He advertised prices and goods that
people were interested in. Although
smaller than before his net profits on
the cash basis justified this pub
licity.
! Has Plyler proven that 1t can be
did? He has, and has proven 1t
through a half page ad in his paper.
Since Dec. 1st, 1916, up to and in
cluding Feb. nth, his sales aggre-
gated $10,405.33 or an average of
over S155 per day for the 81 busi-
ness days of that time. In the mean
time he has invaded the uptown Grs-
trict and installed modern deliv6-s
service.
II man says "de sun do move" he
may be mistaken but IL he says "it

a doubt.--Abbeville Medium.
