A Talk with the Ordinary about Re-Build¬
ing Bridges.
The rains of last Monday and
Tuesday arc unprecedented in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants.
Never in the history of the county
have the water courses been so high
and the damage to land and proper¬
ty so great. Nearly every bridge in
the county is gone and those left
standing are badly damaged.
At the Paper Mills the head gates
busted and about sixty feet of the
rock race was carried away. From
Mr. Will McKnight we learn that
the damage to the Paper Mill prop¬
erty is about $400- The bridge is
standing, but one of the pillars has
given away. It is thought to be
perfectly secure. destructive point in the

of cotton and a quantity of grain.
The loss will amount to several
thousand dollars. The splendid
bridge was also carried away, but

The bridge at White’s mill, in
Sheffield, together with his dam, saw

The new bridge above the middle Paper
Mill was. carried off and the
pillar washed down. Pine log bridge
is a total wreck. The timbers are
scattered over several acres of
ground and badly damaged. The
bridge across Hanes Creek at Kenne¬
dy’s old mills is washed away and
one of the rock pillars broken down.
The Albert bridge on South river is
gone, but is said to be lodged some
distance below in a condition to be
saved at not a very great representative cost.
A Solid South
called on Judge Seamans yesterday
and found him calculating as near
as facts would permit the damages on
the bridges in the county.
When asked what he thought the
damage would amount to, he an¬
swered:
“It is impossible to get anywhere
close to the cost, as we cannot tell
how much of the old timber
can be used in rebuilding the
brides. Any estimate of course will
be guess work.”
What plan do you propose to per
sue with regard to rebuilding?
“I shall have good bridges put up
every where. I think it is the ciieap
est* in the long run I will have
them raised ail above the highest
water mark, so that a similar rain
will not effect them.”
When do you propose to begin
work on the bridges? bridge Ha
“Right away. The at
■gan’s mill will be put up first, so as
to give the people of Lorraine a way
to get to town. . They can, use the
ford for a short while, at least until
tiie bridge is completed. All the
bridges will fcfe put back as fast as
possible.” Whul/do estimate the damage
you be?
on the different bridges to
“Well, the estimates of course are
nothing more than guess work as
yet. Probably the following figures
wifi be in the neighborhood of the
respective amounts: Pine log, $400,
New bridge $400, Albert’s $:i00, Ha¬
gan’s $500, White’s $400, Kennedy’s
$200. It may possibly think cost less I and will
it may cost more. I
have one stone arch put in at Pine
log. The total damage to bridges
imfcbe county will be something un
der three thousand dollars.'
When asked how long it would
be before the bridge at Hagan’s mill
would be ready for crossing he an¬
swered:
“The time can’t be set, as it is im¬
possible at this time to. tell when we
ea® get the lumber. It will be built,
rest assured, as soon as possible.”

The streets of Conyers have nev-

On last Sabbath Bev. Samuel
Scott, of Conyers, preached in only the

cellent sermon was highly appreci¬
ated by his eongregaton. After ser¬
vices closed a session of the church
was called, and Mr. Scott was call¬
ed as pastor, for this church for the
next year. He has signified his ac¬
ceptance of the call and will move to

A SAD DEATH.
The grim monster, death, invaded
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Ba¬
ker last Saturday night and seized
unexpectedly for his victim little
Augusta, aged six years.
We knew Augusta and and to
know her was but to love her, for
she was indeed one of the brightest
and roost lovable of children and had
we our way we would now have her
with us. But God has need of the
fairest. flowers, and in his wisdom
h^s removed her trom earth to her
home with Him ere her little heart
knew sin, and while we are saddened
atYhe change we will cherish her
memory with the assurance that oar
loss is her eternal gain. We know
it is doubly hard for parents to give
up one so near and dear, and who
was ever as a ray of sunshine in the
dark hours of iheir life, yet may
they find consolation in the thought al¬
that it is but a link to bind and
lure them to heaven and in a few
short years they will be called to
join their precious one in her bright
and beautiful home where parting
and sorrow is unknown.

ous kinds, if he allowed a certain
grocery keeper to carry on business
in his establishment. The letter
contains two hundread pages, is well
written and worded, and bears Con¬

is attached to its importance, and it
is generally believed to have been
the work of a prohibitionist for effect

to excess. Ben Harris, who was get¬
ting pretty drunk, asked Miss Moore
to dance with him the next set, but
she declined on account of his intox¬
icated condition. He replied that
he was no drunker than the man she
was dancing with. This got up an
altercation between Harris, Moon,
and James Stovall. Harris invited
Moon out to fight but he declined
and Harris attempted to force him
out the door. Stovall stepped out
and secured a stone and returning
found Harris standing on the steps.
Without saying a word Stovall threw
the stone with great force, striking
Harris behind the ear. He fell in¬
