TAKE RIGHT STEPS.
Florence Daily Times.

Florence Daily Times.
The announcement that the delega-
tions Of Florence and Marion coun-
ties have brought the Pee Dee bridge
matter to definite head will cause
rejoicing throughout the Pee Dee
section. The fate of the bridge has
been hanging in the balance SO long
that many had come to fear it would
be lost and the people denied a boon
they have long dreamed Of. Under
the plan adopted by the delegations in
their conference yesterday the two
counties will build a toll bridge of
their own. They will not seek nor
expect assistance from the State
Highway Commission nor the Federal
Government. The bridge will be
built with the proceeds OF bond issues
authority for which will be procured
through legislative enactment. There
Is no question of doubt about the fact
that the tolls will pay the interest
on the bonds and eventually retire
them. After that the tolls will prove
source OF revenue that will build
and maintain good roads all over the
TWO counties. The Marion and Flor
ence representatives have taken the
right step. 1t is sincerely hoped that
no obstacles will be thrown in their
way and that they will go about the
business Of getting the bridge de-
terminedly and without delay. The
bridge will be built at the Mars Bluff
ferry site. We have no reason to be-
lieve the State Highway Commission
would ever have consented to this site
and 1t is clear that the Federal Blu
reau OF Roads does not care to cross
swords with the engineers of the
hlehway commission. The difference
OF opinion between the engineers of
the highway commission and the en-
glneers employed by Marion to sur-
vey the projected sites and pass upon
their merits are too rooted for agree
ment ever to be reached on this pofnt
AS a matter Of fact 1t is stated that
the highway commission engineers
and the federal bureau people had AL
ready decided against the Mars Bluff
ierry site and would offer a comprom-
ise proposition. This being the case it
is well that the two counties havae de-
cided that it is useless to wait longer
on them and have cut loose. AS far
as we are concerned we are ready to
accept the assurances OF Col. John
son that the bridge can be built at
Mars Bluff with county funds cheaper
than IL can be built at the upper site
with government aid. We are also
ready to accept his opinion as 10 the
practicability Of the Mars Bluff fer
~ site. Col. Johnson's ability as an
engineer is unquestioned. 1t has been
gained through wide and varied ex-
penence. His regiment of engineers

UNKONWN MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
Letters i'm Pocket Addressed to sR.
c. Applewhite, Delce, n. c."

The following dispatch was sent
out from Mullins Thursday:
Mullins, Sept. 29-The body of a
we'll dressed young man apparently
about 80 years old was found near
the Atlantic Coast Line trestle on
the west side Of the Pee Dee river
at an early hour this morning. The
only Identification found on the young
man was the name, Creedle, sewed in
the isside of the coat. An envelope
addressed to r. C. Applewhite, Delco,
N. c., was also found on the body.
The dead man had red hair, brown
eyes, and fair complexion, good
teeth, weight about 135 pounds and
was dressed in blue serge suit and
overalls. The skull was crushed and
the left arm broken just below the
shoulder. The body was carried to a
Dillon undertaken where 1t has been
embalmed and is now being held for
Identification. II no one is found
to identify the dead man the body
will be turned over to the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad tomorrow for dis
position.
The verdict Of the coroner's Jury
investigating the young mans death
was to the effect that the deceased
apparently came to his death by be-
ing struck by the train.
Gocal Coast Line officials have no
knowledge of the tragedy. The body
was not sent to Dillon, but must have
gone to some other place. The only
local officials have is
what they saw in the papers.)

MARION LIBRARY
HAS RARE PRIZE.
Original Grant for Land the Town Oc-
cupies Presented by Miss
Kate Blue.

Marion. Sept, 81. - The original
grant from George Ill of England for
the land upon which the town OF
mSrion now stands was donated Sat
u1day to the Marion public library by
Miss Lily Blue. Of this city. The
parchment, which has been carefully
framed for number of years, is in an
excellent state Of preservation and
constitutes valued acquisition to the
historical relics possessed by the Ii
brary.
The grant was made to James Cod
bold, the first settler in this immedi-
ate vicinity and is dated 1869. The
History of the Old Cheraws", by
Bishop Gregg, has this to say of the
Godbolds who early came to this sec
tion:
about the time of the Welsh inn
migration to Pee Dee, settlements
were made lower down the river in
what was afterward Liberty precinct,
now Marion district.
John Godbold was among the first
who came to this region. He was an
: Sngi!shman and had long been a sail
OF in the British service. Though ad-
vanced in years, at the time of his
arrival, such was his enterprise and
energy, that he accumulated large
property. He settled in 1875 about
half mile below the present site OF
Marion, being the first adventurer to
that locality.
He was member Of the Church
OF England and died in 1865 at the
advanced age of more than 100 years
In the faith OF his fathers. His three
sons, John. james and Thomas, re-
ceived grants of lands as he did from
the king OF England"
1t is the grant of land to his son,
James, which has become the proper
ty Of the library. History says that
when site for the court house was
to be decided upon in 1898 it was first
intended to put it three miles below
the present site and call it Gilesboro
for Revolutionary here, Capt. Hugh
Giles. But Thomas Godbold, the son
OF James offered to give four acres
OF land upon which to put the county
building and that is why the town
was built where 1t is.
He also asked that the town be
named for Gen. Francis Marion under
whom members Of his family had
fought during the War OF the Revolu-
tlon. He asked for no recognition for
himself, but when the town was laid

Of this section.
The old faded parchment presented
to the library by Miss Blue should be
OF personal interest to many in the

most prominent families OF the town
and county. among them being the

DEBATE OVER SESSIONS
Reduction Must Be General" Ayers
Lodge, Concerning Disarma-
ment Plans.

Washington.-The question Of open
or secret sessions at the disarmament
conference started a Senate debate in
which Democrats criticized certain
steps taken by the Administration, and
Chairman Henry Cabot Lodge, of the
Foreign Relations Committee, who has
been selected as one of the American
delegates, gave to his colleagues
glimpSes OF the attitude he intends to
adopt in the conference. The out
burst was shOrt-llved and failed to de-
velop any general expression of Senate
opinion on this subject of public or
closed sessions. Further debate on the
question was assured, however, by
presentation for future consideration
of a measure which would instruct the
American delegates to insist that the
conference sit with open doors. Sen
ator Lodge did not express his views
in regard to publicity, but he did as
sert that in the negotiations over dis
armament itself he would hold TO the
principle that the only solution was It
general disarmament"
He declared no one would work
more earnestly for disarmament than
he, but that he would hold to an un-
shaken conviction that to insure sue
cess there must be general reduc-
tiOns" all along the line. Later in the
day the Foreign Relations Chairman,
speaking on a good roads bill, asserted
ii was false economy to save money
for roads by taking it away from the
army and navy, whose reduction, he
asserted, had been carried too Ear al
ready" under existing conditions.
Without specific mention of the dis
armament proposals he reaffirmed his
belief that this country could not now
make further curtailments in its mill
tary and naval establishments with
out menacing national security. While
the Senate debate was in progress
President Harding listened to the

success of the negotiations. The
Presidents words were interpreted in
various ways by members of the group
but II was said he refrained from q
specific statement whether a woman
