by service, by growth in Christian
character and by success and achieve
ment. he lived a full lifetime.
He united with the Methodist
church in early boyhood and counted
it a pleasure and privilege to work
in the Masters service. His well worn
Bible with favoritc texts marked and
frequent notes showed that it was his
daily companion.
In college he was one OF the best
loved of his class and held the admira-
tion of the whole college community

CROSS HILL DELEGATION
PETITIONS FOR BRIDGE

Strong Representations Made to COun-
ty commissioners Yesterday by Del.
egatiOn From Cross Hill.
A delegation of Cross Hill citizens,
to the number of eight or ten, with
}. 0. Denny, now resident Of Green
wood, as principal spokesman, ap-
peared before Supervisor Watts and
the county board of commissioners
yesterday with the apparent object OF
forcing the issue Of the Pucketts Ferry
bridge across Saiuda river. The Cross
Hill delegation cited the act OF the leg
islaturc providing for the erection of
the bridge by the Laurens and Green
wood supervisors during 1920 and to
be paid for out of the 1921 tax revc-
nues. With them the delegation
brought written opinion by firm
of Greenwood lawyers stating that the
Greenwood supervisor would be fore
cd to help erect the bridge IL the Lau-
rens supervisor assisted him.
Supervisor Watts told the Cross
Hill delegation that he had discretion
ary powers under the act and that he
would not attempt to build the bridge
now under the present financial con-
dition OF the county. The county al
ready has eight or ten bridges. he
told them, that were in urgent need of
repair and that he would have to make
extraordinary efforts to secure funds
with which to make them. Until these
bridges were put in repair and traffic
safcguarded, he said he would not CON
slider the erection Of new bridges. Mr..
Watts told the Cross Hill committee
that he felt very kindly toward them
and had tried to deal justly by them
in road work, but that with the limited
appropriation at his command, no
larger than IL was four years ago, he
could not see his way clear to spend
such large sum to accommodate a
comparatively small proportion of the
people Of the county, especially in
view OF the fact that they already had
reasonable outlets to the points de-
sired to be reached.
a Mr. Wells, who lived on the Green
wood side Of the river, attended the
meeting and took part in the discus
sion He said that he was interested
in seeing the bridge built as it would
result in a better road for him to
Greenwood
Mr.. Denny. talking after the meet
ing. said that the counties Should
build the bridge to develop that sec
ition.
Mr.. Enoch Pinson, another Cross
Hill representative, said that thcy had
been working for the bridge for twcn-
t%-fyc years and would not give up
until they had gotten it,

lis with big plurality. He was elect
ed for a two-ycar term in 1919 and
had hardly assumed office before the
great floods swept Dayton and the
Miami and Scioto valleys.
Cox won nationwide recognition
by his quick realization OF flood con-
dltions and his prompt and energetic
action. For three days and nights he
did not leave his office. He became the
supreme authority in the devastated
region. Martial law was established
He directed lifc-savng expeditionsA

Ruled In Riots.
Hardly had people ceased to talk Of
his action during the disaster, when
The steel mill strikes in Ohio brought
him again into prominence as man
of decisive action. Riots broke out in
many parts Of the state. Cox issued
proclamation calling on all officials to
enforce the laws against strikers anG
operators alike Rats continued in
Canton.
Cox decided the democratic mayor
was at fault, removed him, establish
ed Republican mayor and held troops
in readiness to support the new may
or's order. They were never called
for service.
Cox's term as governor was mark
ed by progressive legislation-in fact
it was this that caused his defeat when
he ran the second time. In the first
session he sponsored and compelled
the legislature to pass before it's ad-
journment 56 progressive measures.
Interests Fought Him.
Many of these laws squeezed pow
