Washington's and Greenville's Bridges
jealousy between towns is usually
without grounds and almost always
harmful.
Some people say Greenville and
Washington—the two, fine old towns
located on the Tar and Pamlico, al
though the same river, yet they re
fuse to calFit by the same name—are
each jealous of the other. Some no
far enough to say that their rivalry
is unexcelled except by the towns of
Wilson and Rocky Mount
The latest sensation came * when
the State highway commission de
cided to build a third of a million
dollar bridge» (or Washington, and
just an ordinary poor-town cheap
structure for Greenville.
The Pitf County town did not
want a new bridge of any kind, re
garding the old bridge as quite sufltc
ient for a number of years, and pre
ferred that its State/ allotment of
funds should go on/a road headed
toward Shelmerdine, Clay Root, and
or toward the Craven County Capi
tal. The bridge was designated by
the highway commission, and then
Greenville asked that the bridge be
provided with a walk way and lights,
both of which were refused.
Presidential
There are lots of candidates for
the Presidency these days. The
trouble is that there seems to be only
two real presidential bureaus func
ttontffßriVffir Sfrecr attd~~Tairmrany-
Hall. The Republicans are at sea
and are looking at Wall Street to
ring the bell for a start. They have
uUJted about candidates all the way
from Maine to California, both the
stand-patters and the liberals, and
they have gotten nowhere yet. The
latest thing that is trickling along
the political stream is that they are
going to give the country another
dose of old Cold Coolidge
Of course, Wall Street is not so
much in love with Coolidge, but they
do have a loving and tender affec
tion for his Mellon, who is bossing
the land. It makes no difference how
high they kick nor how hard they
paw the Western prairies, no Repub
lican can enter the gate unless he has

Washington wanted a bridge, a
nice one, one with lots of space for
pedestrians and riders, highly ilium
inated. Their ap|>eal caught the ear
of the highway commission, so they
are going to get a structure that will
be a thing of beauty, both by day
and by night, with beautiful pilaster?
and wide convenients safe decks and
promenades
■Greenville says five times as many
people walk on the Greenville bridge
as on the Washington bridge and
that to build a bridge without some
.safe means of travel for the walking
public is criminal neglect. They fur
ther point to the fact that both
bridges are in the same district and
under the same commissioner. Green
ville jieople are constantly asking if
Mr. Kugler thinks more of one sec
tion of his district than another. The
question seems to be reasonable, and
from their argument, it looks like
lie does.
Mr. Kugler has also been mighty
good to Route 91, frym Swan Quar
ter to Zebulon, via Washington, and
it is a way uhead of Route 90, from
Columbia to Raleigh.
Candidates
Ihe Wall Street brand burned on him.
It would be different with the
i Democrats, could they be led by a
- teal man of the Wilson type; but so
r faino one has been found. Hence
i Wall Street is streaming mighty loud,
i hoping the country will hark to them,
" just as it has done in nearly every
i Democratic since the
r Civil War.
• • . L-i ... ■
"How is Tammany" hasten a
question often asked by good Demo
crats throughout the land for SO
year. These people are apparently
ignorant of the fact that Tammany
knows less and cares less for other
i people than themselves than any
| other [political organization In the
l world.
j I ,
> Wall Street will nominate the next
i Republican presidential candidate,
and Tammany hopes to nominate the
s next Democratic candidate. * '
