The Plain Statement OF The Obiec.
tions to It, Who Stood Against the
Monopoly.
Columbia Register, Dec. %.

The calendar was taken uD. The
Railroad Bill was amended and
passed it's third reading, anu was
ordered to be engrossed for ratifi-
cation.
The following voted for it's pas
sage:
Mcssrs. Byrd, Callison, Cokcr,
Earle, Ferguson, Gaillard, Hart,
lzlar, Munroc, Patterson, Robin
son and Howcll-l4.
Those Senators who voted against
the passage Of the bill are:
Messrs. Benbow, Buist, Field,
llarllee, Henderson, Lartigue, J.
W. Moore, II. j. Moore, Perry,
Smythe and Walace-12.
Upon the announcement OF the
vote, Mr.. Galliard moved to re-
consider the vote whereby the bill
was passed, and to lay that motion
on the table. This motion pre-
vailed, the same vote being cast as
upon the passage Of the bill.
MIR. Smythe asked for the reason
governing the opponents Of the
bill to be printed in the journal.
They arc as follows:
The undersigned submit the fol-
lowing rs some Of their reasons FOR
voting against the bill:
|. Because the bill does not in
volvc the principle Of the regula-
tion Of railroad rates by the State,
but only the method of doing so.
II. Because the method adopted
by the last General Assembly has
not had time to be fairly tested,
SO as to decide whether or not it is
success.
III. Because the method sug-
gested by the bill is crude and un-
tried anywhere, and there is no as
surance that it will prove satisfac-
tory, whereas the method sought to
be repealed has been in successful
operation elsewhere.
Nv. Because under the present
method the power to fix rates rests
in three Commissioners. Under
this bill that power is vested in one
Circuit Judge, all eady ovcrworkcd
by the Legitimate duties of his Of
fee.
V. B Bccause we question both the
right and the propricty of impc-
sing those duties upon the Cir

which came to light, after the severe

Mr.. THOMAS MADDOX, of Washington
County, Maryland, contributes a letter
to the American Farmer, in which he
proves that the raising of corn and feed
ing it to hogs is the most advantageous
method of disposing of the crop, when
eighty bushels can be raised to the
acre. He instances the fact that young
Master Harp raised forty-seve bushels
tanned the Newcomer prize of 500, as
showing that Washington County can
beat the state and that the state beats
the world IL producing corn. He says:
eff our farmers would raise more corn
and feed it to hogs, they could make
more and better manure, and more
wheat on less land. Four loads (cords)
of the best manure ought to be made In
year by each hog raised on farm"
Cows, when at liberty to select their
sleeping places out of doors, will be OBJ
served always to lie down upon the side
of a dry knoll, if there is one in the
yard or pasture, never lying with the
back down hill, but always with this to-
ward the higher ground. This affords
more than one lesson pointing toward
thrift; and bear IN mind that there Can
be no full measure of thrift without
comfort. These lessons are: 1. No
farm animal will select resting or
sleeping place that is not entirely dry,
unless forced into a wet one; 2. That
the comfort of the cow, while confined
in her stall, can be added to by giving
her an abundance of bedding, and this
may afford an ample cushion IN which
ever way she turns her back. -Nea0

Mr.. J. J. THOMAS has tried two modes
of setting strawberry plants. One mode
was to make a hole in the soil with a
dibble, insert the roots without much
spreading, and filling the hole by press
ing the earth firmly against the roots.
Another mode was TO make broad hole,
place a small mound at the center, and
then spread out the roots on all sides
like the rods of spread umbrella, with
the center of the plant resting on the
mound. This work was done in the
spring and the two modes were employed
in rows side by side. Those with the
spread roots made much the better
growth for several weeks, but later In
the season but little difference could be
seen. The plants set with the dibble
were later, but made full and complete
growth before the season ended.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.
Why Mysterious Physical Troubles Arouse Spe-
cial Dread.--A Professional Exp erie nce.

Few things give more pain than dread OF
apprehension. Most people are able to face
apparent danger heroically, but the sudden
aud unexpected coming OF some indefinite
calamity very naturally strikes terror to even
the bravest. For this reason lightning and
tOrnadoes are considered terrible; their coming
and going are so sudden, unannouDced and un-
known. For this same reason an unknown
disease, some poison in the blood, some NAL
ady that is gradually undermining the life, Is
specially dreaded by all thinking people. And.
indeed there are good reasons for such dread,
for modern science has discovered that some
vrulent disorders show the least signs in their
beginnings, while they have the worst possible
symptoms. We know of many persons who
have dull and uncertain pains in various por-
tions Of the body; who are unnaturally tired
one day and apparently well the next; who
have an enormous appetite at tunes and a
lOathlng of food soon thereafter. Such per-
sons are really in dangerous condition, even
though they may not realize it. The follow
ing statement of a most prominent physician,
who has had unusual opportunities for inves-
tigation is of SO striking and important ma
turc that it will be read with interest by all:

A Sand Storm.

The travellers fears Of being stopped
by sand drift were soon realized. After
leaving Sumner, which is 314 miles from
San Francisco, the train moved eau
tiously for ten miles through the shifting
waste, and then stopped with crash.
The alarmed passengers hardly dared to
face the driving storm to learn the cause
of the unpleasant halt. The binding
SIMEON found that the express train had
run into freight train which had stop
ped in an impossible sandd1ift. The
slow rate at which the express WIS NOV
ing enabled the engineer TO stop the
train in time to prevent serious acct
dent, and the collision was only sufficient
to cast the locomotive from the track.
The passenger cars remained on the rails.
It was then 10 o'clock, so slowly did the
express proceed through the binding
storm after leaving Sumner. The dark
ness of the night had only increased
and nothing was visible except within
the focus of the trains lights. For
five weary honrs the passengers were
compelled to wait on the detached tran
while relief was being obtained from
Sumner. Assistance having arrived, the
track was cleared of sand sufficiently to
enable relief engine to pull the express
back TO Sumner.

The men who go from house to house
at this time in the year collecting the re-
turns of births, as required by law, meet
with some queer experiences. One of
them who was at work while ago in a
"sister " city came to house owned
by two elderly maidens of means. The
hired girl answered the ring, and he made
his usual stereotyped remark, 81 called
to see ii there were any births IN this
house last year" For some reason the
domestic failed to understand hin, and
made this report TO her mistresses,
"There is man down stairs who wants
to know If you had any bursts last year. :"
They hurriedly discussed the possible
meaning to such query, and conclud-
ed ii must refer TO the water pipes. Then
one of the women went down to the door
and asked the canvasser If he had au-
thority 10 ask such questions. He said
that he was acting under the law, where.
upon she remarked, "Well, we had q
little one here but it was so slight that
we we're not obliged TO call lii outside
help" What the man thought has never
been revealed.

POVERTY.

In DAYS of old she lived a worshipped saint,
Her humble, lowy mein by all adored.
Men loved the maid for following their Lord,
And though their love, perchance, was cold and
faint,
Not like the passions of more human birth,
1t was lure and sacred flame, they said,
And she was one whom good men vowed to wed
And thus adjure the Turing SHARES OF earth.
AlasI as time went on such love grew rare,
And with mems favor went her honored nance,
Till s1eers and cold contempt become her share
And she was tain to hide her lead for shame.
at length, when left by all, Crime sought heI

And now his sons and hers infest the land.
