About September / lSup6rintendent
Burke Wilkes, of the county highway
department, will award contracts for
the construction of four additional
concrete bridges that have been here
tofore authorized by the county court.
Two Of these bridges will be in the
tenth district over Baptist Branch
and on the highway that leads from
Hampshire to Mt. Pleasant Both
bridges will be short spans as the
creek Is not large stream. The ap-
proaches to both of the bridges will
be constructed by the citizens of those
sections Of the county, an agreement
to that effect having already been
signed. .,1
One other bridge will'be erected over
Bear CfSek near Mt. Olivet Methodist
church 80 the fourth district. This
has long Tbeen dangerous ford. Only
recently Prof. o. L. Hardison, well
known teacher, had his car wrecked
In high waters at this ford. About a
year ago similar accident occurred
to another citizen Of that section.
The fourth bridge has long been
badly needed. 1t will span Lytle
creek on the Lewisburg pike, just east
of Columbia. The old bridge at this
place has long needed replacing and
has been frequently repaired. In pur'
lsuance to the policy Of the county
adopted by the old highway commits
sion several years ago all Of the new
bridges are of concrete construction
which practically eliminates all cost
Of repairs and maintenance.
At the rate of progress that is be-
ing made this year, there being SIX

Shorty" has been most elusive
culprit, and great interest centers in
the bringing of this noted figure Of

Following the robbery of the Mt

in 1920, officers were entirely without
clue az to the identity Of the yegg-
man who blew the vault door and es.

not until several months later that
Missouri Shorty was arrested in New
York and was found to have on his
person w. S. s. stolen from the Mt
Pleasant Bank. This led to an ,inves-

he was the robber, he could not be
