SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. Salt AgaliiKt Southern Railroad. Edgefield correspondence Colnmbi Stale, 16ih instant : Hon. N. G. Evar and Messrs. Thurmond and Calhoun, < this place, representing Messrs. Be & Davis, merchants of Edgefield, filei a very importaut suit in the clerk's o fice yesterday against the Souther Railroad company. The case will tes the legal right of the Southern to tb ownership or control of the South Cai olina and Georgia railroad. Sometim Cnnf Koen connroH nnn I rnl r 9IUUC luc uv/ui ii^i u ovvui vu wuvivi -that road, and is now operating il By an act passed by the South Care lina general assembly in 1897, all rail roads are prohibited from purchasia or securing the control of a competin; line, and punishes the road so purchas ing and securing coutrol of a compel ing line by imposing a penalty of $10 a day for every day it operates the sai* competing line. Plaintiffs consider th Southern railroad and the South Caro lina and Georgia railroad corapetinj lines, and they so allege and hope t prove it. If that is done theSoutheri will have a very heavy penalty to pay Llqour May Bo Sent C. O. D. Columbia correspondence News an< Courier, 16th : Every since the dis pensary law went into effect in thi state, liquors shipped into the stat from another state, C. 0. D., by ex press, have been considered contrabani and the constables have always beei instructed to seize all such shipments This course has been based on the as sumption that the payment of the C O. D. charges amounted to a sale o liquor in this state, and was, therefore a violation of the state dispensary law Under this assumption no end of seiz ures have been made in the past, auc the express company came to thai point that it refused to take shipment! of liquor C. O. D. Recently, however the Southern Express company har the matter referred to the governor foi legal investigation. The governor re ferred it to the office of the attorney general, and today the assistant attor ney general filed with the governor ar opinion that holds that C. 0. D. ship ments are within the dispensary law and shows that the assumption hereto fore to the contrary has been withoul warrant of law. Water Rights in Spartanburg. Spartanburg correspondence New! Courier, 14ih : Yesterday the couri was engaged in deciding a very import ant case. There was not so much money involed, but the principle madt it interesting. For years people bav< been going ahead obstructing streams and building dams, and about the onlj damage claimed in the past has beet caused by ponds producing sickness 01 flooding lands above. But with th( multiplication of factories other nict questions arise. Last year a damage case was brought against the Carpel Factory, at Guffney, because their dyes polluted streams for several miles below. The case in point yesterday was this: The White Brothers have mills, a cotton gin and ice factory on Lawson's Fork, near town. The Whitney Cotton mill is about two or three miles above it. Wheu first built the Whitney dam was a wooden structure with considerable leaking. It was claimed that the natural flow and volume of water was kept up even when the gate was closed. But a few years ago a water-tight stone dam was built at Whitney. During the day the water would fall below the top of the dam and when the gate was shut at nighi the stream below was much reduced in volume. White Brothers claimed in consequence of this that they could not run their ice plant aud cotton gin at night for want of water, and that they could not start up early iu the day, foi bo YVhitnov water did not reach them for one or two hours after the gates were lifted. R. K. Carson represented the plaintiffs, and Simpson & Bomar the defendants. After much testimony and able arguments the jury gave a verdict for the defendant. This case may go up to the supreme court This subjecr of riparian rights and privileges is an interesting one. Some farmers were in town Monday, looking up the law as to obtruding the migration of fish on small streams that ran through several farms. They claimed that persons below them had entirely obstructed the streams with traps and wire netting, so that a minnow could not pass. AT THE CHURCHES.
