.SANTEE BRIDGE MAY
COST HALF MILLION
Important Meeting Held--It Is Plan
ned to Build Steel Bridge Three
Feet Above High Water.

Columbia, Sept. "a very impor-
tant meeting of the corporators of the
projected Santee River Bridge Com
pany was held in Sumter yesterday
L. d. Jennings, r. B. Belser, Of Sum
ter, C. M. Davis and c. w. DuRant
of Clarendon, and I. r. Bclser, Co
lumbia, were selected to proceed with
the plans for the bridge at mass
meeting held in Summcrton on Fri
day, August 90
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-09-15

AT this meeting Of the corporators
several very important questions were
taken up for discussion and tentative
ly decided. No definite decision has
yet been reached owing to the fact
that Orangcburg and Calhoun coun-
ties are expected to elect corporators
to serve with those above named.
1t is planned to build the steel
bridge across the Santec river and all
the trestlc work which may be nee
cssary three feet above the highest
known water, and to build cause
way of earth through the $500 feet
Of swamp on the Clarendon side of
the river. 1t is estimated that the
probable cost of the type of con-
struction will be between $4,000 and
make the capital stock of the corpo-
ration $5OO,OOO
Many People Interested
The people everywhere, both in the
adjoining counties and throughout the
State, are vitality interested in this
project, there being at the present
time no bridge across the Santee river
throughout it's entire course.
A very successful mass meeting was
recently held at Summerton to con-
slider the subject and approximately
100000 in stock was subscribed. 1t
is planned to have several similar
meetings in other interested towns. A
meeting has already been called for
| in Orangeburg on Friday, 10, instant;
also a meeting has been arranged to
be held in Manning on Friday, the
24th, and one in Sumter during the
first week in October.
A determined effort will be made
to raise the rest Of the stock neces-
sary within the next sixty days. The
corporators are confident that this
can be done without difficulty, there
being such an interest in the matter
everywhere. Many public officials, in
Guiding Governor Cooper, Senator
y Widcman, of Clarendon and the STATE
Highway Commission have evidenced
their interest in and approval of the
proposed company. 1t is hoped tha
tit will be possible to commence op
erations on the building of the bridge
Immediately after the meeting Of thu
Legislature in January, at which time
the charter for the company is eX
pected to be granted.

ator Alfredo Ellis, in his ad.
dress Of welcome to cambridge

the Monroe Doctrine.
TO your great nation as the
older brother of the seventeen re-
publics OF the new world, was re-
served the hard task of watching
over the liberty and safety of the
whole family" Senator Ellis said.
Even now, faithful to the old
doctrine, the American people con.
tinue to maintain il instead of
accepting the rules and statutes of
the league of the European ma
tions.
Many think that the Monroe
doctrine means the whole CONT
nent is TO be considered as "a
hunting ground for the Americans
on account of their power and pre-.
ponderance over their weaker
brothers. Luckily your great
president Mr.. Wilson, speaking to
the Mexican people, defined re-

erful nation, the most fronded tree
of the republican forest, would
need for its enormous growth and
development the sap of sister trees
growing confidently under its ben.
eficial and friendly shadow"
Responding, Secretary Colby ex.
pressed deep appreciation of the
reception given him by the senate
and the utterances of Senator
Ellis.
Secretary Colby said that Presi-
dent Wilson had charged him to
express to the Brazilian people the
feeling of esteem and abiding
friendship of the North American
people for them.
