sULLocK,s CREEK BRIDGE

York county will build bridge over
between Sharon and Hickory Grove.
This matter has been under con-
sideration for quite a while; but no
special provision having been made for
the expenditure in the supply bill pass
ed at the last session of the general
assembly, il has been a question as to
where the money was coming from.
But at last Wednesdays meeting of
the board the matter was finally and
definitely settled. Upon inquiry of the
treasurer. it was found that receipts
from the gas tax have Swelled the road
and bridge fund to a point, where it
will be safe to undertake the work, for
if there is not enough actual cash on
hand now, there almost certainly will
be by the time the work is to be paid
for.
Delegations from Hickory Grove and
Sharon presented the matter in effect
like this. Heretofore we have had
nothing but a low water bridge over
what in time of freshet is a big creek
over Il wide bottom. In times past it
has been a matter Of frequent occur
renee that crossing has been made i'm
possible in times of high water
Doctors have been held UP on their
way to visit the sick. People have
been kept away from church, and
electors have been prevented from cX-
erciSing their rights of franchise, all
because of this creek at critical times.
We have now built new road to
the creek at another nearby point: but
we have not got the money with which
to build the necessary high water
bridge. The structure will cost some
where in the neighborhOod of five
thousand dollars. We will build the
approaches: but we must have help
from the county for the bridge proper.
Otherwise all the effort we have been

putting forth for better road goes for
nothing in tune of freshet.'
The county board of commissioners
has all along recognized the necessity
for a bridge at this point, and has de-
sired to build it; but as stated, has
been hesitating for lack OF the neces-
sary means. The problem having at
last been solved by the gas tax, now
over. it was resolved to build the
bridge without further delay.

Numbers of farmers in the district
west of Yorkville which was visited by
severe hail storm on Thursday night
of last week are now of the opinion
that they will make at least part Of a
crop on the lands that suffered greatly
from hail damage. Many stalks of cot
ton and corn that were beaten down
and bruised are now showing signs Of
life. While the hail damage in that
section is said to be great, still it could
have been worse in most instances in
the opinion OF those who have closely
examined the fields visited by hail.

MO LESS than the navy men, the
~ army men are exercised over the
tendency toward what they believe to
be false and dangerous economy
shown by many members Of congress.
The house passed an army appropria-
ton bill which limits the army to no.
600 enlisted men and 10000 officers.
General PerShlug, chief of STAFF, and

ed such a reduction would introduce

an army of 10000 men and 1900
officers is absolutely essential to the

the bill carried provision limiting
the Presidents right to determine the
size of garrisons in the Hawaiian Is
lands and the Panama Canal Zone.
This was eliminated when Anthony of
Kansas said he had the promise OF
the War department to reduce those
garrisons. but Secretary Weeks indlg-
nantly declared that he not only had
made no such promise but had no In
