Last Sunday tehe editor of the Stand ard had a very thrilling 'experience in h cool waters of Saluda river. Af ter a few hours of business on Satur day at 'Newberry I 'went to Prosperity and spent the night very pleasantly art the home of Mr. R. M. Jay. I start ed home, 'having wi.th me a few pack ages gotten at Newberry on Saturday. In going into the flat at Kemp son's ferry we did not notice that the ferryman Ihad fa-iled to chain it, and when 'he said "Come on" and took 'hold of the mule's bridle to help her get in the flat I tried to comply. When the mule got her fore feet on the flat~ the boat left the bank and before 1 knew it the mule and buggy 'were in the turbid waters of .the Salu-da; and by the ferryman's help I had jumped from the buggy to the flat. To make a long story shor.t, I 'had to practically undress and jump inito the river to do what I could to save the mule and save my floating bun dles, if poss-ible. After considerable struggle by your humble servant and tihe mule both escaped drowning, but we came out with a badly injured buggy and har ness saved; a nice new hat and a Waterman's Ideal founitain pen lost, as well as eighteen copies of the New Testament and iother valualbles-all consigned to the ever-flowing waters, and a siege of shivers and wet clothes and a bareheaded drive home that we yet feel tihe agues of. All the books and other matters 'that we saved from the buggy were injured, and after such col~d swimming and paddling we thank 'the Lord for deliverance-the ferryan swore he couldn't swim a ick.-Salud'a Standard. This is another and a .strong argu ment for another steel bridge to con nect Saluda an-d Newberry counties.
