The proverbial hospitality Of old
lime southern planters is not merely a
thing Of the past, that disappeared
with slaves and other property, as
many suppose. 1t is a live, actual,
existent fact to-day. The means to
express it may not be as generally dis
tributed as formerly, but the spirit is
still found among the better Glasses
and it is ell the more notable, if not
quite so common. A visitor from an
adjoining neighborhood or from a dis
lance, if known or vouched for, can
sit down and make himself at home
for a day, a week, or a month, and eat,
sleep, fish, hunt and ride to his
hearts content. The planters along
the Mississippi are noted as among
the most generous and Lospitablg in
the world. They still cultivate broad
acres, conduct business on a large
scale, and, minus the ownership OF
slaves, live much as they did before
the war. They are a noble race, and
not passing away. Their lands can be
worked most proftably in large bodies,
and this generation will not see the
big plantations cut up into small
farms. There is no necessity Tor it,
and nobody, white or black, that
seems especially anxious to acquire
small farms in the bottoms. These
thoughts were suggested by a recent
visit to Scanlan's Landing, twenty
miles down the river, for recreation
and piscatorial sport. Major Scanlan
is "a fine old Irish gentleman" in most
senses, though not by any means old.
He and his son, who is a fine chip from
the old block, run a large plantation
successfully, and give a lone fisher
man a welcome that reminds one Of
the long ago. At the same place also
is found Colonel Henry I. Hubert,
formerly prominent in the affairs Of
this city, a cultured, open-hearted
gentleman whom it is always a pleasure
to know and to meet at home OF
abroad. In the same neighborhood
also are found the Ward brothers and
Hon. Clarke Brewer and other promi-
nent citizens, who all take pleasure in
making o guest regret that he eve has
to leave. This is a splendid neighbor-
hood, where they read the LEDGER
and stick to the old version Of the
New Testament, and exemplify the
finest types of southern life.

A day or two ago a gentleman en-
ployed a hackman to call at his resi-

him to the Charleston depot, intending
to take the 11:3O train. The gentle

An interesting suit was. on trial in
the circuit court this forenoon, in
which Sturm & Co. bring suit against
G. w. Paine for the face OF a nOte for
1906. The circumstances are that
some six years ago Paine borrowed
that amount from one Mckinney and
gave his note. Paine afterward paid
$50 on the note, and desired McKin-
ney, who was about to leave the city,
to deposit the note with Holman h
Co. for collection and he would make
such payments on it from time to time
as be was able. This was done, but
nothing more was paid. Mckinney
applied to Holman & Co. for the note
upon his return, but was told by then
it had been mislaid, and made out
duplicate note, upon which he sued
Paine and recovered. The origna'
note has since been found by Helmar
& Co.'s successors and they sue Paine
on it, claiming it was deposited as col.
lateral security by Mckinney. Thil
statement Mckinney denied on oatl
this morning. The case was on tria.
at noon.
