progress in the building of public
roads so far this year than any of its
sister counties which are engaged in
similar work according to the month
lily report of County B. R. Cowherd of
the county highway commission, to
the commission. Greenwood county
has let contracts and has under con-

been done from Greenwood to Dead
Fall, approximately five and one-half
miles, top soil from Greenwood to
Dead Fall, and from Dead Fall to
Downs crossing approximately five
miles, about two miles more to COM
plete. In this connection it is stated
that the railroad bridge over Southern

to Ware Shoals, grading completed
from Hodges to Mulberry Creek, ap-
proximately three and a half miles
soil from Mulberry Creek to D. D
Rampey's about two miles, good pro.
gress is being made on this road
Soil near Hodges is all sand but
thinks fairly good road can be built
with this material. Another force is
3 expected to begin work on Ware
Shoals end by the last of the week
Z This force was at Laurens last Satur
: day, Mr.. Cowherd states.
On County project No. 2, Callisor

This makes total of sixty mile.
Of road under construction which i
IS all that is possible to handle. The

ANDERSON COUNTY
LOSES 10 BRIDGES

The rains for the past two days in
Anderson county have been the heav-
lest in some time the rainfall up
until yesterday at noon, registering
$40 inches according to Weather OBJ
server H. H. Russell. Mr.. Russelrs
telephone is out of order and he
could not be reached this morning.
Rainfall must have been some
where in the neighborhood of six
inches during the past bad weather,
and roads in Anderson county have
suffered greatly from the. water.
Great gullies have been washed in
some places and many bridges are
already reported washed away and
damaged. :
Supervisor ]. Mack King has re-
received reports from the following
bridges, all bridges over twenty feet
in length and over creeks of consider
able size:
Trippin's bridge on Three and
Twenty is damaged.
Burns bridge on the road to
Sandy Springs is reported washed
away.
Centcrville bridge on Six and
Twenty is reported washed away.
Timms bridge on the same stream
is reported gone.
Watkins bridge, Six and Twenty, is
reported gone.
/ The bridge at Denver over same
streame reported damaged.
The spillway at Emerson's bridge
reported damaged, but water still so
high as to make examination i'm
possible.
A small bridge over a creek west
of Orr Mill is reported damaged, it
having given away yesterday after
noon when an automobile was cross
ling it. No injury to occupants of car
nor damage to car.
The Toxaway bridge, over Rocky
River is reported damaged, if net
gone.
The water at Deep Greek is still
so high that it is impossible to tell
whether bridge on Portman road
over creek is still intact or not. This
bridge is firmly anchored and it il
thought that though abuttments may
be damaged, the bridge is still in
place.
These washouts already reported
continued Mr.. King, make a total OF
1874 bridges washed away OF damag'
ed by high water since the 23rd ct
October last year. On that date the
high water washed away and danag'
ed bridges in Anderson county.
Fifty-nine bridges have already
been washed away or damaged il
1919 so far.
These bridges, according to Mr.
King, represent but few of those
probably damaged. The streams or
which these bridges are located are
all big ones, in high water times anc
the other streams in the county are
thought to have played havoc in pro
portion to these.
These bridges are all over creeks
and none less than twenty feet long
