Lavonia Times February 1908
A message from Walhalla, S. C., informs us that Knox Bridge across Tugaloo River 
has been sold to Georgia and South Carolina for the sum of $2,000. Sale is 
conditioned on Georgia's raising half the amount paid for the bridge.  This bridge 
has been a toll bridge for more than thirty years and was considered valuable 
property till the free ferry was put into operation near it about two years ago. 
If this sale matures it will mean much for the future of Lavonia.  There is a good 
territory in South Carolina which would be glad to make Lavonia a trading point if 
convenient accommodations could be afforded for getting across the river.

This is the first opportunity that the bridge has been offered at such a price and 
it is expected that Georgia will do her part and make the bridge free. Lavonia has 
done her part toward maintaining a free ferry across the river and it is 
practically assured that a considerable amount can be raised in this place for the 
purchase of the bridge. A meeting of the Board of Trade will be called soon and 
the matter will have prompt attention.
