There was a meeting of the San
tee Crossing Company held at the
office of the Bank of Santee last Fri
day evening. At this meeting, it was
| decided to launch the campaign of
soliciting aid towards building a con-
crete and steel bridge across the San
tee River at Pinckney's Landing in
Clarendon County. Quite number of
citizens were present at this meeting,
most of those present being from
Summerton. Plans toward the cam
paign were formulated which gave
great encouragement to those whose
| efforts in the next few weeks will be
toward the project. Mr.. j. c.. Lam
ham has agreed to bring the matter
before the T. P. A. Convention, which
| meets in Chester next Thursday and
Friday and the Crossing Company is
in hopes this will bring results as it
will be advantageous beyond all rea-
sonablc doubt to all members of the
Convention travelling out and in
Charleston towards the great Pee Dee
section Of the State. MIR. D. c..
Mason, the secretary of the Crossing
Company, will begin his tour of ap-
pointing campaign managers in the
towns interested this week and at this
writing Summerton is being worked
and subscriptions are being obtained
very readily which shows that the
people of Summerton are right behind
the project and will use their untir-
! ing efforts to make the Santec Cross
ing Company success. 1t will be
necessary to raise about $4,000 in
order to complete the program of
bridgeing the Santee and it is the
| effort of the Company to raise this
amount and put the project through
as this will give us a connecting link
with the southern part of the State
by "dirt" road, something that has
been long needed. The counties inter-
ested on the South side Of the San
tee. will be canvassed also, and al
though the amount to be raised to
meet the Federal aid in building this
massive structure seems little large
these reconstruction times, when all
the counties interested are covered
the quota Of each county will be COM
paratively smaller than one would ex-
| pect. This does not mean that Clar-
endon and Orangeburg Counties are
to raise the necessary amount, al
though the bridge would connect these
counties, but there are adjoining
counties, which would be equally bene-
fitted. Several sites for the bridge
have been suggested and the costs Of
the bridges have been estimated and
the Pinckney Landing Crossing has
met the approval of the State High
| way Engineer in that it will be more
advantageous and also will require
| less to construct. Other reports will
appear later.
