MARS BLUFF BRIDGE ASSURED
Mr.. Hughes Says Marion and Flor
ence Will Garry Out their
Plans.

L have been requested to reply to
the article evidently eminating from
the State Highway Department and
appearing on the front page of Sun
days State. L reluctantly do so, for
the reason that 1 know that the pub
lie, like myself, must be heartily tired
OF this discussion. The Pee Dee
Bridge Commission has rejected ev-
cry attempt made by the Department,
aided by the Federal Bureau, to force
us to build the bridge where the
law did not contemplate, and where
the Commission did not locate or de-
sire it. They promised us on May goth
at a meeting in Florence, that if we
would locate the bridge they would
endeavor to build it where we wanted
II. Four months and a half rolled by.
and neither the Highway Department
nor the Government made any sur
vey looking towards locating the
bridge where the Commission desir-
ed it built. From information that we
received from Washington in Sep
tember that this had not been done
and would not be done, but that our
money was being spent for the pur-
pose OF bolstering up the location
made by the Departments engineers
last spring, and which was rejected
the authorities of Florence and Mar
ION counties decided that they would
DISMISS any further dealings with the
highway Department and Bureau of
Federal Aid. n meeting was there
lore held at Florence some time in
September and it was unanimously de-
ElOrannn To,
counties would proceed to build the
bridge without any assistance from
the Department or the Government;
and 1T was so announced. The High
way Department requested the Com
mission TO meet with their Engineers
last Saturday at Florence. This was
done as matter of respect to the
Government Engineer who was to
make special report. His report de-
tended the former location by the De-
partment and submitted other impos-
sible locations, all of which would
bankrupt these two counties to build
and maintain. A great deal has been
said about the estimated cost made by
the Government. 1t is sufficient to say
that this county entered into a Fed
eral Aid project with the Highway
Department over Little Pee Dee River
and that they estimated then that it
would cost fifty-fiye thousand dol
lars and be built in year. 1t has cost
us over hundred thousand dollars
and it took around three years to
complete dam built out of sand,
and is regarded by many as almost
worthless. 1t is evident to the public
therefore just why we do not care to
enter into any more estimated con-
tracts, as we did in that case. 1t was

also stated in that ARTICLE that Flor
enee and Marion would build low
water bridge; this is not true. They
are planning bridge some eight feet
above any water known to the river
The low water road, however, will be
spill-way for extreme freshets for
part of its length and will inter-
irupt traffic possibly thirty-six hours

matter that it is the intention of
Florence and Marion counties to build
TINS dam and bridge at an estimat-
ed cost of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and that it is our
intention to begin the work in a very
snort time. 1t is our opinion that this
Is free country and that our coun-
ties can build bridge where we
please so long as we furnish the mon
ey and that the Highway Depart
ment and Federal Bureau have no
right, and we think the public will
concede this, to force us to build it

ciently and economically by the coun-
ties than can be done by the Depart
ment, because of the necessary red
tape in connection Herewith. IT
should be stated also that il is our
intention to make this toll bridge.
This conclusion was reached for the
reason that there is such great
outcry about taxes and the serious
crisis and depression that is con-
fronting us, that it was thought wise
to make it toll structure so that it
would not be necessary to add any
additional tax burdens to our people.
The toll will be small price and it

Baptist Pastors of the
State to Exchange Pu1pits

November 18th is to witness the
greatest Fellowship Day among Bap-
fists and the widest interchange of
pulpits on the part of Baptist pas
tors ever known in the State. This
Fellowship Day is to be utilized for
the purpose of extending the acquain
tance of pastors and churches, of
promoting larger fellowship in the
affairs of the Baptist denomination in
South Carolina and of presenting the
interests fostered by the Baptist State
Convention and included ir the Bap-
tist rs Million Campaign
Among the things that Baptists are
stressing at this time are the secur-
ing of 10000 tithers, a great cam
paign of soul-winning on the part Of
preachers and laymen, the enlistment
of 10000 church members who did
not subscribe two years ago in the
rs Million Campaign, and the pay
ment of pledges for the second year
ending December 1st on the part of
all subscribers to the rs Million
Fund.

From The Trionne's Washington Bureos
WASHINGTON. Oct. S.--Speakng for
employers of millions Of men, John E
Edgerton, chairman of the tax COM
mittee of the National Association of
Manufacturers. told the President to-
tay that business men are profoundly
disappointed and discouraged by the
failure of Congress to present a con-
structive tax measure. Mr.. Edgerton
conveyed to the President the "sense of
continuing increasing respect" felt
toward the President by the business
men of the country and the widespread
impression prevalent that the Pres-
dent must assume the leadership of
Congress if that body is to enact any
legislation worth while. Mr.. Edger-
ton said:
"The platform of both parties, the
declarations of their leaders and the
campaign promises of the new Con-
g,ress led us to confidently expect that
ak months of effort would present a
scientific and equitable tax measure
Manufacturers expect to make a heavy
contribution to the continuing demand
for large national revenue. We ask
only that the burden shall be euuitablv
distributed and capable of intelligent
administration.

that he purposes to continue in the
Craftsmanship.
The Cox forces and other foroas on
the committee friendly to Mr.. White
rave no intention OF letting a situa-
tion arise, if they can help it, wherein
a chairman will be named who is in
control of William G. McAdoo and his
friends.
Former Governor Cox does not In
tend to be at the meeting, according to
Mr.. White, and ne does not expect Mr.
McAdoo to attend. In other quarters
however, there were intiaations Mr.
McAdoo might be there.
Although there is no little turmoil
under the surface in Democratic polit-
ical quarters there was considerable
support here to-day for the belief that
no open effort would be made at the
meeting of the committee to oust Mr.
White. Some of Mr.. Whites friends
have told McAdoo men they would ruin
Mr.. McAdoo politically if the attempt
was made to turn White out and put
in McAdoo chairman.
Mr.. White was at the Capitol this
afternoon and conferred with Senator

other Democratic leaders. Those with
whom he talked do not expect him to

the Democratic leader in the tax fight,
but apparently final agreement was
not reached.
A plan discussed was that of having
the revised amendments reported out
ny uaanlmous vote of the Senate
Finance Committee, Republicans and
Dem ocrats, and supported on the floor
by leaders on both sides. The Demo
Gratis are represented as looking with
favor on most of the amendments, but
they are not satisfied with regard to
the proposed taxes on corporations, in
ssting that revenue in excess of that
proposed be obtained from that source.
Republican leaders were understood
to have agreed to-day on a plan under
which corporations having incomes in
excess of $4,000 would not receive the
benefit of the $4,000 exemption now al
lowed all corporations. 1t is esti-
mated this would yield an additional
$50 600 900 in revenue. The Democrats
have proposed repeal of the exemption
in the case of all corporations
Senators from Eastern states laid
plans for their fight against the pro-
expected to force votes on the floor on
the original proposal for 80 per cent
maximum income surtax rate, for the
existing maximum estate tax rate, and
for repeal of the capital stock tax on
corporations.
Leaders expressed little concern over
this opposition and were of the opinion
that the amended bill could be passed
by the week after next. The revisions,
as agreed upon in md-week, were dis
cussed to-day by majority members of
the Finance Committee, but decisions
on them were deferred until Monday.

up in some detail and there we're
