was by far the largest ever harvested

from all directions and all sections of
the country. The canneries used
some fruit also. Most of the fruit
was of high quality.

With something like 10,000 visitors
in attendance and with suitable cere-
, monies presided over by Congressman
i William C. Hammer the mammoth
: steel and concrete double width bridge
spanning the Yadkin river near Spen
cer was thrown open to traffic Fri
day. j On behalf of the contractors the
1 bridge was presented to the state
highway commission by Major Wade
H. Phillips of Lexington whose ad
dress was very instructive. The speak
er Drought out a vast amount of m
j formation relative to the bridge, the
history of the movement, and the
! realization of the dream of highway
enthusiasts.
I The principal speaker of the day,
however, was Attorney W. L. Ca
hoon, of Elizabeth City, representing
Chairman Frank Page and the 10
business men located in various parts
of North Carolina comprising the
state highway association.
His address was a gem, brim full
of the North Carolina spirit. He
told the great crowd that this great
bridge connecting the east and the
west i.s not only a splendid and use
ful structure but that it represents
the very blood and brawn of the best
that North Carolina produces. He
cited the fact that the man who de
signed the bridge, W. L. Craven, is
a native of Cabarrus county; that the
chief engineer on the job, J. B.
Pridgen, is a native of the state, and
that the contractor was born in
North Carolina.
The bridge was accepted as rep
i resenting the last word in engineer
ing and structural skill
j The speaker explained that the
, state has kept a census of traffic over
I the old toll bridge discarded today
and that the tolls have aounted to
$300 per day for a long time and
that the new bridge will mean Just
that much saving to the public This
will pay for the bridge ln two years.
: The new bridge, which had been
under construction for more than a
year, cost $200,000, is 1,800 feet long,
, paralleys the main line of the South
I em railway at Spencer and stands
eo feet above the waters of the Yad
kin river.
