If one could al ier ways cross the stream, it would be st very well; but sometimes the water is ve too high; and fording is impracticable Then the flat is in a very poor con ir- dition, in charge of a careless ferry en man. Now, at Kempson's ferry it is ch different. The water is seldom too high, and never so low as to prevent at ferrying.

McCul nn lough Tuesday afternoon in Columbia * there were some interesting state ments given out as to the suit brought ts by the J. C. Somers company of dd North Carolina, against the Richland Th Distilling company, in the suit for in id fringement of the brand, "Popular dd og," which is now used by both con scerns. It was stated in some of the tesimony that extra bottles had been r xtra h .tle wer Etended for the eta dispeniser in order to induce him to 7.:ip the-se brands. Comts;one Tatm, when seen taay. sno,wed the f(Il-wing l-te which he had written to the sta: board (,f directors: "Two days ago my attention we called to a report that some of th brands handled by us in case gooc have extra bottles in them. I at onc instructed my superintendent and ti shipping clerk to go through eac brand in stock of all sizes to satisi themselves whether the report w, true ur not. They have reported t me the following brands which coi tain from one to two extra bottl< in a case. and from one to six I drums: "Old Te. Red Feather. Peacefi Valley. Ton Gin. .Mallard Rye. Re liun.

It is not often that the Chicag Chronicle has a good word to say the south or aiything southern. I usually assumes that this part of tl 1 country is largely peopled with white population that divides its tin about equally between lynching n groes and fomenting all manner political deviltry. An admission fro the Chronicle, therefore, "that tI average of official morality is high in southern cities than in northei mur'rcipalities" is worth repeatin The Chronicle is prepared to -g further. "The south," it says, "ca afford to challenge comparison in tI matter of State legislatures alsD and it adds. "'the scandals in tht bodies are relatively few in the soutl ern states, and so far as recollectic may be relied upon there has been r talk of venality in the choice of Un ted States senators in the south sin< Reconstruction days." All of which is more less true an more or less pleasant; but there a2 indications that this section of ti country may lose some of the r< pute which it now has for civic virtt and official integrity. It was not Ion since Col. William L. Royall; of Via ginia, was accusing Mr. Martin < having bought his way into the senat just as though. the latter gen'tlema represented New York, Ohio or Mor tana. In the same state there is robust school-book scandal whic threates to besmirch the fair off cial name of more than one F. F. 'A stateman. Down in New Orlear they have been charging corruptio against certain of their city affait Iquite in the tor.e 'that. one employ when speaking in Phrladelphia. Or in Arkansas they hav'e had a stat senator on trial, and right .here South Carolina, Senator Tillman demand that the dispensary b "cleansed or killed" leads inevitabi to the conclusion that everything not as -immaculate as it once was an should be. It is to be hoped,c course, that none of the southeri states will ever be as absolutely rol ten officially as are some of thosei the north and west, but some vig lance will have to be employed the good name the Chronicle 'give us is to be retained and merited.
