TWO
Concrete Bridges Are Erected By
Richmond County Almost As Cheap
As Wooden Bridges Can Be Built
As Rapidly As County’s Finances Will Permit Concrete
Bridges to Replace Wooden Ones—sßßß Cost of Concrete

concrete bridges ran be con

fount" con mission in tho construc
tion of the bridge on the southwestern
Plank road, near Lombard's bat bins
pond. For SBBB Aids concrete bridge.,
which will remaffi there for ail time
to come, was built, while a wooden
bridge, with only a temporary life,
would cost almost ns much.
The total cost of the concrete bridge
of sBB* Included 50 cents per day each
tor the convicts who built it. The
work of each of the convicts was put
flown at that figure because It Is
practically the cost of maintaining a
convict each day during the year.

(IT EXTENSIONS
AUGUSTA-WASH.
Washington to Have a New
Line, /'the Washington and
Lincolnton R, R. Charter Ac
cepted.
Washington, Ga.—Washington >»
soon to have a new railroad. It fs
the Washington & Lincolnton Rail
road, the charter for which has jus:
been granted and was accepted at a
meeting this week of’ the stockholders
of the enterprise. Formal organiza
tion of (lie new company was made
by the election of J. R. Dyson, a local
hanker as president, H. W. Quinn, sec
retary, i I a hoard of directors com
posed of tho following Washington
citizens: J. R. Dyson, H. W. Quinn,
Ldward Barnett, William Wynn, Jr.,
D. Paver, W. T. Johnson, M. Pem
broke Pope, M. A. Pharr, G. A.. Green,
J. A. Henson and F. H. Ficklen.
The present length of the road will
be about 20 miles, connecting the
county seats of Wilkes and Lincoln
Counties. Lincoln County at present
Is one of the few counties in Georgia
not traversed by any line of railroad,
although it is currently reported that
the Elberton road from El
berton to Tignall, in this county, has
about completed the finnclng of an
extension of the E. & E. to Lincoln
County. This is believed In local
circles to mean that the latter road
will make the extension to Lincoln
County as tho first link in a series of
extensions which will ultimately
curry the road Into Augusta.
One of the directors of the Wash
ington & Lincolnton Road stated to
day that the actual construction work
would begin at once, that the sur
veys had already been made and an
estimate of the cost of construction
and thorough equipment of the road
was now in the hands of the promot
ers. All arrangements of a financial
nature were manipulated several
weeks ago, according to a statement
by President Dyson and there is now
nothing In the way of the speedy
completion of tho work when it Is
commenced within the next few days.
Harvest Year For Actors
in Chicago; Cabarets
Chicago—That this is the harvest year
for actors In is due to the “cab
aret crate” by which the cases fl- they
bent can entice overstrained men and
women—as one observer says, "into the
Krei\t American pastime of eating and
drinking more than is good for them.”
Nowhere is the gait of American ex
travagance, dwelt upon by the Ameri
can Society for Thrift, more conspiou
ous than in this actor's harvest, said
In other pities, quite as good as in
Chicago. A few years ago there were
not more than forty theaters in all
Chicago. Now there are 750, and in at
least 200 of them vaudeville performers
are employed to help out the moving
pictures. In addition there are well
paid engagements for 100 or more per
formers in the downtown restaurants,
while outside the loop almost every
eating place in town to say nothing of
I lie big summer pqrks- -employs music
lans and singers Never before, say
tlic booking agencies, were engagements
s<> plentiful. "Never were salaries so
big. and never was the demand so in
sistent for noise and constant motion,”
wrote Henry Hyde after Investigating.
Brass and stretched sheepskin have
taken the place of violin strings; shouts
and noise and waving legs and arms,
head spins and handsprings are now the
necessary feature. With certain ex
ceptions the louder and more violent the
act, the larger the salary enloyed by the
performers. A team like that describ
ed will draw $l5O or S2OO a Week for
fourteen performances, two a day. The
cost of living here's a bit.
Newspaper Advertising
Better Than Billboards
. ~f hlcai JO.—rriulrrs Ink has won over
billboard paste in theatrical advertising
it the manager of the Garrick is right,
for he derided that newspaper apace
only would lie Rood enough to Insure
parked house* for a play In wliieh edu-
Vkted People would he most interested.
Ililllioards usually are most numerous
where t lie persons who rend are the
fewest,” said tills lit matter in explaining
his stand “Many managers believe that
the billboard ns a setter of patronage is
a tliltiß of the past, lint few of them
have the courage to stand hv their con
victions. The Shnhcrts tried out ex
elusive newspaper advertislUß in New
York a year aRo wtth'gratlfyln* results,
and tills caused the experiment in Chi
cago. You know that persons who ride
past ililllioards are usually going too
fast to read them and 9a per eent of
the folks who ride read the newspapers
while on Hie ears. During the last mar,
with ‘Romance’ and the Itoad to Hap
piness' two of our biggest successes, tho
Garrick and the Princess advertised ex
clusively in tlie newspaers. A special
matinee, advertised for three dais in
the newspapers, were sold out \>y 10
o'clock on the morning of the perform
ance and 900 persons were turned away.
The cost of lithographing- ii cents a
sheet not counting the rust of hangltiß
the paper, mounts Into big figures when
three or four thousand sheets are put
out. \Ve intend to advertise more ami
more in the newspapers and less on the
boards.’*
“MATRON OF THE SHIP"
TRAVELS THRU CHICAGO
Chicago. A chaperon to the latest ad

Chicago tie a result of an Innovation
last year on a Trans-Atlantic steamship
which proved it success, n "matron of

functlonnrtes. it was then predicted that
the railroads in the United States would
adopt the Idea to sdd to the comfort
and safety of toting women. The pan
of the Canadian Northern on the Royal

thing on a railroad to the Pacific const
In this country ns wetl as Canada.
Trans-continental trains now have val

"After that It Is the fault of her par

the rules of travel for girls formulated
by "chaperons" are these:

Passengers of the Gothland
Saved By Almost Super
human Efforts of Crew.
Hughtown, Scilly Islands.—The sav
ing of the pasengers of the Belgian
steamer Gothland, wrecked on Crun
Rocks yesterday, was necompliahed
through almost superhuman efforts on
the part of the steamship's crew and
the life savine crews which came to
the rescue.
Members of the life saving crew
from St. Mary’s told today how one
of the Gothland’s small boats, cram
med with women and children, broke
away from the davits and fell thirty
feet into the sea. The bottom iof the
boat was smashed and all were rhrown
Into the water. A quartermaster of
the Gothland sprang from the steam
er’s deck and succeeeded It) saving
three women. Several of the life sav
ing crew also jumped Into the water
and handed drowning children to their
companions in the rescue boat until all
had been saved. A heavy sea made
all salvage work perilous.
The crew of the Gothland, which
was on the voyage from Montreal to
Rotterdam, again went on board today
to Jettison some of her cargo of grain
in the hope of lightening the boat suf
ficiently to refloat her
