A Bridge Wanted at Bouknight's
General News Items.
ce
a The lung lhb,ked for rain has c:me.
The farmers say it is -too late to do
. the early corn much good, but every
iss one seems brighter since the rain
came.
\v. e don't hear anything new about
'ed that bridge at Bouknight's ferry.
nd Surely everyone realizes how neces
n- sary a bridge is at that place, for two
of the most important roads in the
o,- county meet there. 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. But Bouknight's is much
-as more convenient. for the majority of
ie the farmers. who go to Newberry
g- for supplies. The farmers say i some
ly. better arrangements are not made
ve they will be compelled to go to Bates
he burg or Leesville for supplies.
of Salem Baptist church is working
is- ahead. Rev. Mr. Corder, of Leesville,
up has been secured as pastor. A Sun
as day school has been organized. and
an organ will be purchased soon for
>t- the church. Protracted meeting will
n- begin there the second Sunday in Au
tel gust. Salem church is beautifully lo
as cated in an oak grove, and everyone
enjoys a big meeting there.
Mr. R. S. Perry is kept busy selec
ting cattle for his butcher, business.
He kills every Friday and si.pplies the
neighbors with fresh meat. Messrs.
C- J. Berry and Pearsall also butcher,
but they take their meat to Silver
Street to sell.
Miss Myrtle Wertz leaves in a few
e- days to teach in a summer school at
e Lexington. She will also teach in the
to same school next fall.
. Miss Sue Ray Pearsall, who learn
..the art of millinerv at the Mower
)- Co's., has accepted a position offered
e, her in Charlotte, N C.
k. Mr. Robert Brown has opened a
g stoxe at Mt. Willipg and keeps a good
ye line of general merchandise.
s It seems, if we want to put a stop
to liquor drinking the Lord would
li have to cause another flood, build an
> other ark and send a few into it to be
nsaved. But if they don't look sharp
idd then. a blind tiger will step in. Don't
he you think so? Mr. Editor.
e Two routes have been surveyed for

: GRAFT FOUND IN DISPENSARY.
le Liquor Dealers Gave Exctra Bottles
To Push The Sales.
arGreenville News.
rBefore. Referee Joseph A. 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. Riverside Rye. Cordial Gin. al
P. L. Cori:.
"I wouild respectfully suggest th:
v 'u ad,,pt 5uch mean as will effect:

ipen<!i. a~ We have in stock the nun
her that tle cv m 'i:aim1 plainly mlarke
and when shipped to dispensers it
voice fill am1 unt of them.
"W. O. Tatum."
Several of the above brands at
tottied by the Richland distillery, ar
the hoard gave Mr. Tatum authoril
to act as he saw fit. He at on<
opened the cases and repacked the e:
tra bottles. shipping them out ar
saving the state a considerab
amount of moIney.
Where The South Excels.
News and Courier.
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.
