The South is yet distrusted in

That would close their mouths

SO far as the building oflevees
in this State is concerned We
are satisfied that the counties
living along the river can
never do the work without aid
from tho State or federal gov
srnment. The hill counties viii
navcr consent to being taxed
for any such purposes and there
fore no aid can be expected
from tho State. They viii then
have to look to the general GOV
eminent for assistance. The

antly able to do the work and
can put up leyees that will re.
Sist the highest floods. 1t will
be a matter of great difficulty to
get the appropriations, for the
eastern members always fight
bills giving money for any west
ern or southern enterprise and
they are fire luently aided by a
portion of the western aud
members. The chanc
es for gettiaa an appropriation
at the next session of Congress
are rather slim because Of the
