were away to higher land in boat.
That Mr.. Rates' place, which is con-
sidered to be on high land, is covered
shows the high water mark. The
Hammer place is also under water
and this means that the water conf
pletely covers the 500 acres of this
property.
The store that fronts the station at
Kingville is practically loss so far
as the stock is concerned. The water
had reached the first row of shelving,
according to those who went out III
a boat to view the situation. The
other store at kingville, on the furth-
er side of the station. was also flood
ed. The station was several feet in
water, especially the waiting rooms,
where the water nearly reached the
ceiling. No loss Of life this sec
tion was reported, although no de-
finite information as to any Of the
losses can be obtained until the wat
er subsidies. That many thousands
of dollars were lost by the flooded
crops and loss of cattle and other pro-
perty is the sad story told by those
who have been over the country in
and around Kingville and Wateree.
The latest report from the scene
OF the flood say that the bridge across
the river is all right but that the
trestle work on the other side of the
bridge has been swept away. Trains

10th Sold.

Southern hospitality is proverbially
generous. In The Old Dominion" Mr.
Thomas Nelson Page recounts an in.
stance showing that this hospitality
was not always appreciated. A guest
asked the loan of horse to carry him
to his next stopping-place, a town
which lay at a considerable distance.
The host accordingly lent him his
horse. and sent along a negro boy
1t was before the war-to bring the
horse back.
After several days the boy was still
missing, and some one was sent to
hunt him up. The messenger found
MIN at last, and demanded why he
had not returned with the horse
Cause dat gent'man done sell de
horse" was the reply.
We'll, why didn't you come back
and say so?"
Hi! He done sell me, too" said
the boy.-Youth's Companion.

END OF PET DEVASTATION.
New Yorker Finally Rid Of the Dis.
pissed High Hat.

There is a certain man in New York
whose pet detestation is a high hat.
In his journey through life he has &C.
CURED many dislikes, some prejudices,
and few hatreds-but his feeling
toward high hat goes far beyond the
limits implied by the mild word
hatred"
However, family influences we're
Drought to bear on him when he had
reached the proper milestone in his
lie, and these influences we're so
strong aud insistent that eventually
the man in question purchased high
oat; what is more, he actually
lonned 1t.
hut his hatred abated not a lot. In
TACT, 1t grew. He used to open his
fatbox and eye the hat viciously, MUIR
derously. But thoughts of what the
FAMILY would say II he should adopt
violent measures always deferred him,
and every time he shut the box again,
leaving the thing unframed, and
vented his rage in profanity.
Once he and his family went to
live at a hotel in the country. And
one night, with appalling suddenness,
that hotel caught fire.
Fortunately, everybody in II was
able to get out in safety. The young
man of the hat, after counting heads,
and seeing that his people were out of
danger, decided to dash into the burn
ing building once more-there was
sui bit of time-in order to see
whether he might rescue a few more
things from his room. In the excite
ment attendant on the discovery of
the fire the hotel guests had been
Obliged to look to their personal safe
ty. without thinking overmuch of that
of their belongings.
Well, the young man, plunging gal.
iantly through flame and smoke
reached his room. There, the first
thing which caught his eye was the
high hat.
With look OF diabolical glee he re.
garded 1t for few seconds. Then
with an exclamation of delight--he
kicked 1t into the inmost part of the
room, into cracking flame and eddy
ing smoke, far from all possible
means of escape.
Then, diabolical glee still illumining
his features. he emerged a happy
man

The Eternal Feminine

Amongst some African tribes. when
a man processes his love for a woman
and asks her in marriage, she inyaria-
bly, refuses him at first, lest It should
appear that she had been thinking of
him and was eager to become his
wife! By so doing she maintains the
modesty OF her sex. as well as tests
the love and aliases the pride of her
lover. This policy is also intended to
be Of use to the woman In her married
life-as, should there be quarreling.
and the husband threaten to send her
away, she can remind him of how he
made repeated professions of his love
and urgently pressed his suit before
she consented to become his wife,

Farmers in the Legislature.

Apropos OF the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union, it IL quite In"
teresting to note that the organization
will be we'll represented in the legisla-
ture, as IL is understood that some fifty
odd members Of the law-making body
are also members OF the Farmers
Union. A casual study OF the member
ship OF the house Of representatives
shows that moro than one.third belong
to the order, while there are a good
few In the senate, probably n half
dozen. This means that the eyes of the
members OF hundreds of locals in the
organized counties will be kept on their
law-making brethren at the capital, and
that every published vote will be closely
scanned, Every loyal member OF the
Union declares himself in favor OF his
brother in the legislature voting, not
just "for the good OF the order" but
for the good of the people OF the State,
for which they claim the Farmers
Union stands. They claim, too, that IL
radicalism and faddism should be de-
veloped during the session it will not
emanate from the Farmers Union
members who pride themselves on their
feeling Of State pride and conservatism.
