CONTRACT LET FOR NEW BRIDGE
NEAR CITY
Contracts were let yesterday for a
new bridge to span the creek just a
short distance from the entrance to
Lake Lanier to replace the one that
was destroyed by water from the lake
disaster several weeks ago.
The ne'w bridge will be much larger
when completed and will be quite an
addition to motorist's plying between <
Tryon and the Squth Carolina line. i

i
Lanier Club To
Hold Impor- i
tant Meeting
At 3:30 May 13, there will be a 1
Special and important meeting of the
Lainier Club to . consider a matter of
vital interest not oaly to the Club but
to Tryon itself. It concerns the
Library. For some time it has been '
apparent that a reorganization of the
library system was imperative. The
situation at present is acute. It is
not only neccessary, to reorganize the
autiquated catalogue system, but the
method of changing as well.
Miss Carpenter who has been acting
dnring miss Olives illness is convinced
that these changes should be made (
now if the library is not to cease
functioning effectevely. j It will be
necessary to employ sqme one wiht
expert knownedge to superintend this
work under her some volunteer help
might be used.
The meeting is called that this
matter may be explained to the members
who will then decide whether or
not the work shall be undertaken and
the money voted for this purpose.

NEW WARNER BROS. PIC
TURE SAID TO BE
BEST
> TO BE SEEN IN TRYON
"Below the Line." the Warner Bros.
Classic of the Screen which is opening
on May 12, at the*8trand Theater,
has for Its theme the exciting story
of a vicious, snarling dog made loyal
and brave through loving training.
Rta-Ten-Ten, who will be remembered
by all enthusiasts of dog pictures,
for his remarkable work in "Where
the North Begins," "Find Your Sea"
and "Tracked in the Snow Country,"
Is said to outshine aD previous performances
in his latest production.
June Marlowe, the girl "with the
soulful eyes," who has appeared with
Rinty in previous photoplays, is with
him again in "Blow the Line" as
the heroine, May Barton. John Harron
plays Donald Cms, an uncouth
but kindly boy, who, together with
May Barton, befriends Rinty.
Pat Hartigan, famous for his screen
villainiee, is the village- bully, Jamber
Niles, who attacks and robs a
wealthy young woman and then attempts
to steal the church funds from
Donald; and Victor PJotel appear^
as Jamber's half-witted brother. (
The climax of the picture comes
when the half-wit lets loose a pack
of bloodhounds to follow Donald and
May and Rinty flings himself at the
pack. The terrific dog-fight, brutal
as it looks on the screen, has the g
indorsement of the Santa Monica ra
Humane Society for being filmed with- m
out injury to the dogs. ai
