The State Board Of Charities and

Of inspections Of county penal and

1000 points-of any chain-gang in the
State after the third inspections. The
chafn-gang in Chesterfield county
ranked lowest under the boards stand

county ranked highest on the second

Barrier Removed by santee Bridge.

Barrier Removed ny Santee Brid1e.
The State highway commission has
committed itself to two bridge cross.
ings for the Santee River. This wan
done in Columbia by resolution after
hearing the arguments from represen
~tatives from a number Of counties.
The highway commission is deter.
mined to build for all time, and as far
as is within its power to provide free
and easy communication between the
people of the upper part Of the State
and those living below the Santee.
AS n speaker expressed it, fol
two hundred years the Santee River
has divided the people Of the State
and It was time that the barrier be
broken down.
The State highway commission has
determined to break it down. The
commission has not yet decided upon
the location of the bridges. Only orc
route has beer surveyed, that across
the Santee by way of Pinckney's near
Parlers. Other routes will now be
surveyed, and the two best routes will
be selected.
1t will then be for the people 20
provide half the funds necessary. The
federal government will supply tn.
other half. The cost will be approxi
mately $175, 900 for each bridge. When
they are built the people Of Darling
ton. Lee, Dillon. Chesterfield, Flor
miles from Georgetown. and about the
ence, Williamsburg, Clarendon and
Sumter will have one Of two direc!
routes to Charleston, Georgetown, Or
angeburg, Bamberg, Aiken and the
southeastern section Of the State.
1t means the linking together Of the
people Of the State as never before.
There was a full and free discussion
OF what was needed to give the great.
est number Of people Of this State
free access to both sides of the San.
tee River at the hearing which was
held in the Chamber Of Commerce.
The main question was whether
there should be one or more bridges
built across the Santee, and where
these bridges should be.
-Four propositions were presented:
One for a bridge at st.. Paul's or
~Pinckney's Landing, which would
cross the river enar Parlers; another
to cross the river at Murray's Landing
near Gourdin; another at Lanneau's
Landing, which Is about IL or 15
same distance from Andrews
The fourth was to cross the river at
Mazyck's Landing which is practically
on thec coast between Georgetown and
Charleston.
This would open the Old Kings
Highway and was advocated most
jealousy by Mr.. Morrison, OF McClel.
