ROANOKE CONCERN
GETS CONTRACT
Bridge Will be Ready for
Use About Middle of
July.
The bridges, rivers and wharves
committee of council awarded the
contract for the Center street bridge
to the Roanoke Bridge company, of
Roanoke, Va. They reached a de
cision in the matter Thursday night.
The price is 527,596.
The Riverside Bridge company, of
Martin's Ford, Ohio, was disqualified
when the committee received their
telegram, quoting tthe price of side
walks for the bridge at a little more
than 55,000. Plana submitted to the
committee did not include specifi
cations for side-walks. The contest
finally narrowed down to four bidders,
including the Riverside people. They
were queried by telegraph, but their
prloe proved too high.
The successful bidders were re
presented here by Mr. R. P. Williams,
who has “'been on the Job" for
several months; in fact, ever since
the war department issued an order
that the Center street bridge be
equipped with a draw. He has made
many friends in Augusta and is being
warmly congratulated today at the
signal success of his efforts.
Work will begin as soon as the
piers are finished. It is thought
that the bridge will be finished some
time In the summer, possibly not
later than July 15th.
The bridge will be 20 feet wide, in
the clear roadway, and 16 feet high,
Kb the clear. The sidewalks, each five
feet wide, will provide ample accom
modation for pedestrian passage.
They run outside the roadway, simi
lar to those of (he North Augusta
bridge, which were provided for by
brackets, but never put in.

PHYSICIAN OF MISS
KIRKE GIVES

\
Gives Authorities to Show
That Leprosy is Not
Especially Dangerous.
Dr. T. G. Croft, who is the physi
cian of MJss Mary V. Kirke, who has
leprosy in Aiken, has sent a commu
nication to The Herald giving his
views of the case, for publication.
The part of the communication which
has to do with the case Is as follows;
"The facts of the case are: Miss
Kirke has been blind from oplacity of
the cornea for about five years, and
knew positively when she came to
Aiken some fifteen years ago that
she had the disease (leprosy.) She
has never lived alone. One-half of
her house has been rented and oc
cupied by a family who knew that
she had the disease when they went
in the house, and remained there for
ten years, and Mrs. Edrnondston’s
family have lived in her part of the
house with her and have taken care
of her for several years. They knew
of her disease while staying there.
Miss Kirke before her arrival in
Aiken had been to London under the
case of Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson,
who is generally regarded as one of
Iho greatest authorities on leprosy.
She brought with her the followihg
letter from Dr. Hutchinson;
“ 'No. 15 Cavindish Square,
W. London,
April 12th, 1893.
'“Dear Miss Kirke: 1 may assure
I you that your disease is in no way
i contagious. I have many such pati
ents under my care, and never advise
any kind of isolation.
" 'Yours truly,
"JONA. HUTCHINSON.””
"With this letter before us, I can
not see how our physicians with no
practical experience can say that
this case is of great danger to the
community. During the excitement
of the last few weeks over this case,
1 was blamed by some for not re
porting this dangerous' case, and to
clear myself of being neglectful of
my duty to the people, 1 wrote to the
chairman of the state board of
health of South Carolina, as from his
high tfficlal position, and the very
high rank he has taken in the pro
fession, 1 thought he would be the
best man to quiet the good people
after this undue excitement. His
reply he has kindly allowed me to
publish, and therefore, 1 will quote
the same.
"165 Rutledge Ave., Charleston. S. C.
'December 16th, 1908.
"Bear Dr. Croft: 1 agree with you
entirely about the very slight danger
of contagion from annaesthetlc lepro
sy. I have seen such cases here
and have never regarded them seri
ouslj from the point of view of the
community. Osier states that one of
j the most prominent clergymen on
[this continent had annaesthetlc lepro
sy for thirty years without impair
j ment of his usefulness and without
interfering with hts career. Indeed.
I the danger of contagion in any form
lof leprosy is slight. Nurses work
for years in leprous colonies without
contracting the disease. The fear
which possesses the layman’s mind,
is no doubt because of the Biblical
accounts, which certainly do not ap
ply to the disease as we know it.
"Isn't it singular that people should
become so pan icy over things that
are practically of no danger, while
regarding with indlfTerence the dis
eases. namely "tuburculosis,” which
are of serious danger, and menace
I the vitality of the community in a
\ very real way.
"I do trust that you will be able
Ito quiet the good people of Aiken,

Mr. F. J. Paxton, Mr. R. L. Fore
man and Mr. John E. Murphey, vice
presidents of the Atlanta chamber of
commerce, arrived at 6:55 on the
Georgia train from Atlanta, and
awaited the arrival of Mr. Taft’s

the Taft party arrived it had grown
to include 'Several hundred people.
As Mr. Taft entered the depot, he
was met by Capt. Amory Sibley, of
the Augusta fire department, who
presented him with a large white
japonica. The president-elect ac
knowledged the flower w'.th a smile
and a hand-clasp. Then he caught
it through the lapel of his overcoat
and hurried through a jostling crowd
to the special.
He was met at the car steps by
the reception committee, who greet
ed him and the other members of
the party with a cordial welcome.
The train left at 9:31 o’clock. Mr.
Jacob Phinizy and Col. Dyer arrived
at the last moment. They were
rudely halted at the threshold of the
car by a mulatto porter, who stood
firm until the gentlemen were vouch
ed for by Col. Bcott. The Atlanta
delegation wore Taft buttons, and
several dozen of the same souvenirs
were distributed among the crowd
that packed close about the platform
of the rear car.

private secretary; Mr. James Hay,
Jr., of the Washington Times; Mr.
R. O. Bailey, of the Associated Press;
Mr. Guy Kramer, of the New York
Herald; Mr. Harry L. Lunlop, of the

ihe New York Sun; and two secret
service men.
The special consisted of five cars,
the last of which is a private car of
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
railroad. Engineer Joo Hogan, driv
ing engine No. 35, pulled the train
with Conductor Hubbard in charge.
Several stops will be made be
tween here and Atlanta, and Judge
Taft will make short speeches -to the
crowds at each stop. The special
will be boarded at these towns by
delegations of two, three and four
citizens, all of who will attend the

day to speak before the Colored Y. M.
C- A. on Sunday afternoon, at 3
o’clock, in the Tabernacle Baptist
church. He gave his answer to Rev.
C. T. Walker and Rev. Silas X. Floyd.
Thursday afternoon a delegation of
six Confederate veterans called on the
president-elect. Their mission was
an endeavor to interest him in the
cotton tax levied immediately after
the Civil War, and collected to the
amount of seventy-two million dollars.
The tax has been declared unconstitu
tional. but the money never refunded.
Judge Taft promised to consider It.
The delegation was as follows;
Messrs. D. W. Cason. T. J. Cylatt, W.
T. Marton. G. D. Whittaker, Samuel
A. Walker and Dr. ,1. E. Colvin.
