The bridge is built of iron, steel not being used in bridges at the time of its construction, and the span is 300 feet in length, being the longest draw span in this part of the country.

Those behind the movement claim that Bryan's speech advocating government owner hip of railroads has caused many Democrats to desert him. Mr. Harmon was attorney general in President Cleveland's cabinet and was a presi clential candidate before the convention that nominated Parker. The Kentucky Republican state con vention, which is to beheld in June, is expected to have an important bearing upon the presidential nomination next year, inasmuch as there is a strong tendency among leading Republicans to indorse Secretary Tait for the Re publican nomination. As this will be the first state convention to start the presidential ball, its indorsement will play a great part in political affairs. Governor Franz recently visited "Washington in order to persuade some if tVio national nartv leaders to take position on the temporary piers. This is the feat that will be undertaken tomorrow. The lifting will be done by four lar e scows, which will receive timber blocking to engage the lower side of the bridge as the tide rises. The work will be commenced at low tide and the timbers will be built up un der the brid&e. As the tide rises the structure will rise with it. Then will come the difficult work of movin2 the bridge down the river. About 30 men will be en aged in the work and the cost will amount to $70,000. CASTEX & COMPANY. They Hold One Of their Regulation ' Millinery Openings Today. The store of Messrs. M. E. Castex & Company was today the mecca of fern mine inrerest, and from an early hour the store was crowded with ladies so stylishly attired in seasonable wears that they really seemed part of the ex hibit living "fashion-plates," so to peak,, and really seemed In need of nothing else. We used the word "seem ed" advisedly, for all of them bought hats hats shirt waists skirts (ready made) dress goods ribbons plumes laces ready made suits, till it really looked to the Argus man,' looking on at a convenient distance, that they were about to buy out the store. It seemed that everybody had decided to "come early and avoid the rush" and consequently the rush was on from the start and is still unabated at the hour of going to press. But this is char acteristic of the "Openings" of Castex fc Co. They have been so long in the business and study so closely the de mands of the trade and keep so thor oughly abreast of the latest fancies and fashions, that the public have come to look upon and wait for this firm's openings as setting the season's styles. SAD DEATH. THE WAY TO DO IT. How Some Other Towns Maintain the Spirit of , Law.

It is possible that of the majority of voters: : Secretary of War Taft may visit the "High Point officers last night hail- new state early in June to fire the open- e(j heavily laden negroes as they left train number 34 from Salisbury, and relieved them of a quantity of corn juice that will evidently bring con viction under the new law against the gallon-quart allowance per capita. One of the men concerned had on the train a three-gallon jug in a bag. In suit cases ttrere were 48 pints, and when the arrest was made, and a close search was instituted, 48 corks were found, all the way from jug size to the midgets that might overtop a baby size drink in a glass. 'The negroes composed the party concerned, two of them having made the Salisbury tour. A well known High ioint negre, watchful ror a drink, and known not to be a violator of the law, assisted in removing the fluid from the train, and was to re ceive half a pint as thanks. One of the bunch made the happy cut and run and escaped. This is the first acute violation of the new law gov erning High Point township, which in the bill makes the possession of more than a quart prima facie evi dence of retailing."

Jas. and George, and one sister, Miss Mary Liou Crawford, a wide circle of relatives and many friends, and the sincere sym pathy of all our people is with the bereaved ones in their ordeal of sorrow over his all too untimely death.
