PLANS FOR BRIDGE
ACROSS PEE DEE
Citizens of Florence and Marion
Counties Discuss the Proposition.

Florence Times
Several citizens of Marion and
Florence counties met here today to
discuss the matter of a free bridge
across Pee Dee river, connecting the
two counties, and the well defined
plans laid at this meeting have un-
doubtedly brought much nearer the
realization of dream of many years.
A great many different plans have
been discussed in the past to build
such bridge but all of the meetings
rave come to naught The idea in
the past was to have all of the coun-
ties in this, section financially inter-
ested, and the difficulty has been in
correctly apportioning the expense
among the various counties.
Florence and Marion have deter
mined to have a bridge across the
Pee Dee, however, and today commit
tees were appointed from each coun-
ty to take charge of plans. surveys
and estimates. These committees are
as follows:
Marion-E. T. Hughes, represent
ing the county delegation. l.. l.. Rog-
ers, the citizens and w. S. Lewis, as
county supervisor.
Florence-W. H. McElveen, rep
resenting the county delegation, F.
L. Wilcox representing the citizens,
and A. L. Erwin as supervision.
At a meeting of this committee, E.
T. Hughes was elected chairman and
A. L. Erwin, secretary. The COM
nittee will ask for the State Highway
commission for a survey and esti-
mates on the cost of the proposed
bridge. The project will be developed
under plans of the State Highway
commission which means that Gov
ernment aid may be secured toward
defraying the expense. The commit
tees have already begun TO gather the
sentiment of the people of this sec
ton of the state. They feel sure that
they will be assisted by public senti-
1aent in getting the project through.

CAMPAIGN FOR PURE STOCK.
Meetings Will BE Held at Various
Places in County Next Week.

County Agent Epps has arranged
for a series of meetings throughout
the county in connection with the
campaign he has inauguarated for
pure bred stock in the county. Six
meetings will be held next week,
three next Thursday and the three
the following Friday. At these meet
ings talks will be made by L. G. Mad
ison and D. w. Lewis of the Exten-
sion Department Of Clemson College.
Arrangements are being made to have
Mr.. McFadden at the meetings, but
this has not been definitely arrang-
ed.
The purpose of the campaign is
to displace every scrub sire in the
county and substitute therefor a
pure bred sire. Greenville, Green
wood and Dillon are the only coun-
ties in the state in which the cam
paigns will be put on and the move
ment should have the support and en-
couragement of every citizen Of the
county.
It is well known that very few far
mers in the county are using pure
bred sires. on their farms. For this
reason the hog and cattle industry
In Dillon has Jagged far behind the
industry in the other counties in the
state. Mr.. Epps hopes by this cam
paign to get rid of every scrub sire
in the county and greatly stimulate
the industry in Dillon county.
The meetings are being arranged
solely for the benefit of the farmer
who does not know the value Of the
pure bred sire on the farm. 1t is not
the purpose of the government to
force a farmer to kill off or dispose
of his scrub stock at personal loss.
The government has no fund for pur-
chasing the pure bred stock, but Mr..
Epps hopes, by the cooperation Of
the people of the county, to raise a
fund to be used for the purpose of
purchasing pure bred sires for every
community. The movement is desig-
ned to greatly increase the value OF
the live stock industry in the county
by the simple process Of breeding
pure stock instead of the scrub va
riety.
Meetings have been arranged at
the following places for next week:
Thursday
Oakland at II a. m. Minturn at
Q o'clock p. m.
Friday
Floydale at 10 o'clock a. m. Fork
at 4 p. m. Lake View at Q p. m.
At the night meetings lantern slides
will be used in illustrating these
lecturers. Every citizen Of the COM
Eiinit'es in which thee meetings are
to be held and every citizen in tr"
county who feels an interest in this
movement to develop the hog and live
stock industry Is urged to attend.

One Thousand Billion Locusts Com
ing Soon.

One thousand billion Of emf will
be here in a couple of weeks.
Great swarms of 17-year locusts,
released from nearly two decades of
sound slumber, will swamp through
the air for a month or so, infesting
field, orchard and forest, and then
will die.
Professor Raymond C. Osborn, Of
the department OF entomology at
Ohio States University and govern
ment scientists predict that the per-
iodical visit of the locust swarm
will be made some time in May.
1T depends a great deal on the
temperature Prof. Osburn said, eff
it gets really warm the locusts will
appear sooner"
The cicada septendecim is Won
derful creature. For II long years
| il sleeps in dark holes in the earth
then comes to life. Its visits are
tabulated with accuracy by entom-
ologists and farmers and horticultur-
lists have been warned Of the on
slaught.
There should be no occasion for
unusual alarm, however, at the ap-
pearance Of the locust swarms, Prof.
Osburn declared Little damage will
result if proper precautions are at
once taken.
The chief injury the insect is
capable of is killing young fruit
trees. The locust chisels grooves in
the branches of trees to deposit eggs.
Young trees, the Ohio State scien-
| tist warned should be protected
with screens and nettings and the
visit of the cicada will pass by al
most unnoticed.
The government map shows that
the cicada will appear this year in
the greatest numbers in the follow
| ing states:
Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland, Indi-
ana, Pennsylvania, Georgia. New
York, Illinois, Michigan, Virginia,
| West Virginia, Tennessee. North
Carolina and Vermont.
During the last appearance Of the
eicada, a number of persons exper-
imented with them as food, and it is
said that palatahla dishes resulted.

BOATMEN'S STRIKE TIES

Thousands of New Jersey Com

New York.-Sixteen thousand ma
rine workers carried out their threat
to strike for higher wages and shorter
hours.

80 completely that ferry service with
Staten Island and New Jersey came
to a standstill, ocean steamships were
held at Quarantine for lack of dock

will be worse because of "a hours ex-

The strike began when the members
of the various unions involved QUIT
their ferry boats, barges, lighters and
tugs.
Staten Island was cut off from the
rest Of the city. 1t is estimated that
10000 commuters were not able to
leave the borough. A few hundred
reached Manhattan by way of Bay
Ridge and Elizabethport, N. ]. For
the rest there was no way out until
6 :55 o'clock in the evening, when
ferry boat manned by policemen got
away from st. George.
