TIE CROSSING AT aRAHAMs

The Trouble Betwesn the South Bound
and South Carolina Railway Settled.
The South Bound railroad yester-
day crossed the track Of the South
Carolina railroad at Grshsms. There was
a sharp fight between the South Bound and
the South Carolina railroad on this point,
the South Carolina railroad opposing the
crossing Of it's track by the South Bound.
A number Of reasons were given as
grounds for the opposition, IL seeming to be
the desire Of the South Carolina to delay
the crossing bv the South Bound as long as
possible. AS last resort it was claimed
that permission could not be given to cross
the line without the consent of the railroad
commission.
Mr.. Jervey of the South Carolina Rail-
road Commission was called upon, and he
authorized the South Carolina railroad to
permit the South Bound to Cross the track
of the former road as desired. Permission
was then granted and the construction
force was employed yesterday in making
the crossing. The matter was amicably
arranged between the two roads, and not
only will the crossing be made but a con-
nection will be put in, ana it is expected
that there will be a considerable inter
change of business.
The object of the South Bound railroad
appeared to be to delay the building of the
South Bound into its territory until the
cotton season was we'll under way and it
had the control Of the bulk of the crop in
that territory. That portion of South Caro-
lima is one of the finest COTTON growing sec
tions in the south. Heretofore the South
Carolina railroad has carried the cotton
into Charleston.
Mr.. Fl. M. Conner said yesterday that the
South Bound will bring q large amount of
cotton into Savannah this fall 1t is build
ing now at the rate of mile to a mile and
half day, aud expects to complete the
road early in Octoben II expects TO
| arrange o passenger schedule between
Columbia and Savannah by the middle of
| October. -

ANOTHER s!oRM WAVs.
Prof Foster Says It VIII Precede the
Hottest Spell OF the Season.

Prof Foster Says It VIII Precede the
Hottest Spell OF the Season.
Prof Foster is out with another storm
wave. This one is to start, according to his
predictions, from the Pacific coast about
the 10Th, cross the R ocky-Alleghaay valley
from 18th to 18th, and reach the Atlantic
coast about the goth.
The regular movements of these mid
summer storm waves from the west
to east, he says, will not be so mani
fest to casual observers as were
those of the spring months. The rains aud
other effects will develop only in isolated
localities and will appear more as chance
and irregular disturbances than the effects
of regular storm waves. This storm wave
will inaugurate tho hottest period of the
summer, and bring the finest corn aud cot
ton weather of the season. The weather
will not be settled, but changeable from
18th TO 22d, after which it will be more uni
formly warm and dry.
Prof Foster comes to the front with 6
correction of his cotton crop estimate. He
says: II meant to say that this years. CROP
would not exceed that of last year. but iu-
advertently used the wrong figures. The
crop of 1899 was about 8 $50 ,0o0 bales. and
this years crop is estimated at 9,000, 00l
bales. do not believe it will reach that
amount To make more radical state
ment than this would be construed as an ef
fort to affect prices. The buyer and tbs
seller, the manufacturer and consumer are
all specially interested in the date Of tde
first killing frost, and the question as &c
whether the crop will mature early or late,
for toe volume Of the cotton crop depend
upon these two points. There is s0n'
danger Of the late corn crops being Gu
short by early frosts in the northern cora
/ hale

AN UNEXPECTED WEAKNESS.
A Cooking-Schoo1 Young Lady's Rash Un-
dertakinP.

ACA tunAh6f
For several years Bessie Norris had
been very much in Society,""
And every day this season she was in
it, too, from the moment she settled
herself in the saddle and started, on her
Kentucky mare. for morning trot
through the park, until the Norris car
riage. rolling homeward long after mid
night, bore her from the very latest
dance she had cards for-deliciously
drow sy and perfectly happy.
Yes, she still went out a great deal.
But since her return from the country,
in the autumn, she seemed to take her
pleasures more moderately, and to look
once in awhile upon the serious side of
life.
Sometimes she actually refused invi-
tations, when she had more than two
or three for the same evening, and late
ly she had been in the habit of spend
ing two hours a day in select cooking
school-though her personal appear
ance precluded any hope OF her ever
becoming "a good plain cook"
What use she expected to make of the
knowledge she acquired there is not
material: none of her friends believed
it was to be solely ornamental.
Bessie rather prided herself upon her
new requirement and grew very critical
in the matter Of entrees and hOrs
d'euvers: but she really went too far
when she dropped a sighting remark
expressive of grave historical doubts as
to the quality of the old-fashioned New
England dinner.
This little speech brought MIR. Norris
to his feet.
"A mass of coarse-food, unskillfully
cooked" he exclaimed; you have a
good memory, my dear little girl, but
it breaks down when you try to go back
to thirty years before you were born.
Why, I'd give a-almost anything to sit
down to such a meal as my granmother
used to set out for US"
"You think you would" said the
young person easily; "but you wouldn't
care for that sort Of thing now. People
were not SO particular then, and as
long as they had enough, the rest didn't
matter"
Mr.. Norris met this statement with
H.
a very handsome present if she could
cook a satisfactory dinner after any
school, ancient or modern; American,
French, Italian, or Eclectic.
Bessie quickly accepted his offer and
commenced elaborate preparations.
She took entire charge of the kitchen,
and sent the happy cook off on vaca-
ton.
When the day came the dinner came
ALSO And it was dinner that must
have made the shade of Mr.. Norris
grandmother green with envy. From
the moment when the turkey lay in
brown study, at the head of the table,
until the coffee shone like gigantic
rubies in the diminutive silver spoons,
there was not single failure Every
dish won the championship in it's class,
hands down.
Bessie remained in the kitchen until
the final course, and then the servant
said she had gone to her room.
''Tell her to come down at once; we
want to congratulate her." said Mr..
Norris, glowing with paternal pride
and the good dinner.
The servant left the dining-roOm but
returned a moment later.
miss Bessie has gone to bed, sir"
rs any thing the matter; what did
she say when you gave her my mes
sage?" asked Mr.. Norris.
"She said, sir, that any fool with
