PECANS FROM "THE NATION"

OIL Jesse d. A1ai NlISoo, 4IOiIi <1HllS-
vile, Abbeville County, came to
Spartanburg in his automobile with
two bags of pecan nuts grown on
his place in that little settlement.
For a part of his load, Hayward
Hardy handed him a check for $120,
and there was ready sale for the
remainder. The idea of raising pecan
nuts in Abbeville County, and partic-
ularly pecan nuts actually grown on
trees at Antreville, that sell in Spar
tanburg at 80 cents the pound seems
like a dream; but the proof of the
nuts is the eating thereof, and the
proof of the market price is the
salesman's slip that slips up smiling
at the end of the week.
1t has been only within the last
few years, comparatively, that the
growing of pecans was regarded in
these parts as worth while from
business point of view, and there is
no reason why the whole of South
Carolina, particularly Piedmont Car
olina, could not be converted into a
great nut-bearing region and supply
all the markets of the North. East
and Middle West, with the unrivall-
ed product of their groves. 1t is said
that the pecan, which is of the hick-
ory family, will grow to perfection
wherever the hickory grows, and one
of the hardwoods Of this region,
par excellence, is the hickory tree.
Antreville is a rather uncommon
name-we believe it is the only
postoffice with such a name in the
United Stats, and, as the story goes,
it happened on it in a most unusual
way. The original name of the place
was "Centreville" Capital, we
believe, of fine belt of country call
ed "The Nation" and one day, as
the story goes, OF. McAdams, a citi-
zen of some note in the community,
who wrote with flourish, as was the
habit of those who had been trained
by writing experts who taught copy
plate handwriting, in a petition ask
ing for the reopening of the post
office at Centreville, wrote the name
so clearly and with such a flourish
that some inefficient clerk who didn't
know "handwrite" when he saw it,
filled out the name as "Antreville,"
and Antreville it has been ever since.
To be known hereafter as the pecan
nut centre of Abbeville County will
give it distinction it could not have
hoped for with the name it bears.
But Antreville is not the only
place in Abbeville County that was
designed by the great Gardener of
the Universe as a land of plenty.
About FIVE miles from Abbeville
Court House, on what was the old
Gordon plantation, there was, great
many years ago, a grove of scaly-
bark hickory trees that yielded an
immense crop of delicious nuts every
year. Nobody seemed to care very
much about them, but occasionally
wagon load of the nuts would be
hauled to the Seat of Orthodoxy
for the consumption Of such of the
residents of that holy place as liked
to vary occasionally the diet Of sal
'eratus biscuit and molasses pie. The
scaly-bark hickory grove perished
long ago, doubtless, but if there
should be any of the stumps left, the
buyer Of the ground would be sure
of making more money on pecans at
80 cents the pound than cotton at
so cents. Moral: Plant Pecans!-

COLOSSAL BRIDGE

PITTSBURG. Pa Dec. Ia
monster bridge. 40 feet long, with
two trestles $50 feet high. and
weighing 1900 tons. was moved
bodily FOR a distance OF ! feet here
recently. and the workers who rode
over the structure IN the morning.
at IT'S former location. rode over Il
again n the evening. but in-betwoen
times the bridge had shifted POSI-
ton 70 feet.
i; was a feat OF engineering. but
tho structure was relocated with
out hitch, and engineers CaIcula-
lions were so perfect that when the
bridge was finally set on its new
piers u was IN perfect alignment In
every way with the street railroad
tracks at either ead.
Whom the engineers ard their
gang got ready 20 move the huge
structure linsmen merely cut the
trolley feed wires az either end OF
the bridge. a few Italian laborers
pulled up the rails az the bridge
ends, and then a huge gong an
nounced "all set" and the moving
began.
An improvised railroad was used
90 rest the bottom Orders OF the
bridge on. Fifteen tackscrews fur
nIshed motive power. The bridge
was moved about six feet an hour.
Pedestrians were permitted TO
use the bridge while being moved,
and hundreds did so. SO smoothly
did things go that those who stood
on the structure during it's progress
southwark were unable 20 detect
any movemeut-but she was going,
all right, steadily and surely.
They moved the bridge in a day.
That. 10 the ordinary person. would
seem TO be the big end of the job
moving the bridge. But, in fact, il
was merely an incident. The real
work was getting things ready 70
move IL. Engineers and worImen
spent six busy weeks preparing for
this great job. Everything was fig
ured out TO the most minute frac-
ton Of an inch. Then the plans
were checked and rechecked TO
make sure they were correct. One
element OF uncertainty was wheth-
or the trackage would hold up,
sink in some unforeseen soft spot
in the terrain or skid. With a
mighty bridge on the move, II
these things bobbed up. the bridge
might give a quick sidelong flop
and collapse. Every inch OF ground
