This I. the bridge th.t the real dent, of Brookwood uk to lute made life. I They ask also that the Southern fui- nil It. promise of pulling up a con crete bridge at- that point. - Evidently the Southern I, doing an express train job—a sort of Southern "Limited." "Start today and arrive tvjien you get there" 1. the Idea. The writer went out the other day to liuve a look at the Job. Actively engaged In nibbling away at the dirt were two full-grown men. A mule leant In the distance was evi dently i«art of the "force.!' As on evi dence that It waa a rush Job, the South ern. ur somebody, had a inan stationed near by. Whether he waa there to keep people from falling through the holes In the bridge or whether he waa keeping tab. on the two men nnd two mulea, the writer did not aslc. Jila chief occupation aeemed to be that of chewing tobacco, which was quite le gitimate. but did not hurry the bridge construction. Tint writer is no expert on estimating the lime required to make excavations oud pul up concrete bridges, but It Is off-hand opinion that, at the pres ent rate, the Brookwood bridge will be completed Inside of 99 years, though not far Inside. In the meantime the resident, of "Further" Brookwood are taking tliolr chances with what la left of the bridge. They have Inadequate facllltlea for crossing ami they are of Ihe opinion that the old rattle-trap la going to tum ble down with some of them. Then they anticipate some morbid pleasure In suing the Southern, but they would a IRUe lather have no grounds for a suit. Their requests are moderate. They only want a bridge. The picture allows the’ obvious Impossibility of driving I down one side of the bnnk and up the other. So they feel that their demand, are moderate w hen they ask for some thing on which to cross—something better than the decrepit affair which Is now provided. Also they would like It within the next ton or tlflcen years. It Is the railroad's next move.
