An amusing story was told some years
ago of certain Madame de S, a French
woman of high social ambitions. She was

he known as the friend of persons high in
rank, and she left no stone unturned to
further her interests in that direction. Re-
turning from the country to Paris one day
in railway carriage, as the story runs, she
fell into conversation with remarkably
well-dressed but quiet and reserved man
who sat on the seat opposite. After while
she CHANGED tomention impressively that she
had observed that the Countess Lemoine
was passenger in the next carriage, and,
to her satisfaction, she found that the gen.
tleman to whom she had been talking was
intimately acquainted with her. Of the
countess's establishment and circle of
friends he told her great many interesting
particulars. So pleased was she with the
talk on this subject-proving her acquiant
a1ce, she thought, to be Il man of decidedly
high position in Partisan society-that she
ventured to make what was even for her n
bold strok', and asking him for his card,
politely requested his company at her next

TILLMANS GAME OF GRAB.
The Fight en- Against the Repeal Of the
Port Royals Charter.

Three Able Speakers Protest Against
the Contemplated Robbery of the
Stockholders of the Corporation.
Senator Verdier and Cardinals ATT
torney General Speak in Favor of
the Measure.
Columbia s. c., Dec THE railroad
committees of both houses listened to arr
guments for and against the repeal of the
charter of the Port Royal and Augusta
road tonight Messrs Conner and Mike
Brown were present.
Col. Robert Aldrich, H A. NJ. Smith
and Capt. Henry Cunningham spoke
against the bill The substance Of
their argument was that the pas.
sage of the bill would be an
infamy upon the rights and property Of
the stockholders, and that the feature in
the bill, with reference to the sale of the
road and prohibiting any one from bid
ding on it who was connected with rail-
road, was a prohibition which would re-
suit in the road being sacrificed and was
a piece of contemplated legislation which
would hardly emanate from barbarians.
Senator Verdier and Attorney General
Townsend argued in favor of the bill,
taking the position that this measure
would be the crOwning means of opening
Port Royal and making it one of most
tourishing ports in the country; that the
management of the road and the violation
of the provisions of it's charter were the
result Of the domination of the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia, which worked in the interest of
savannah and to the detriment of Port
Royal
The speakers opposing the bill replied
that the passage of the measure would ba
Intellectual, as the case would then be
taken to the United States court.
The House committee reserved its de-
cisiou.
The Senate committee has already re-
ported the bill favorably, and this was a
sort of rehearing. The indications are
that the House committee will reporE
fayorably.
GOING FOR THE ROADS IN THE SENATE.
The corporations caught it in the Sen.
ate to-day during the discussion of the
bill 10 repeal the charters of the "rebel-
llous' ones that do not pay their taxes.
This bill is the outcome Of the governors
recommendation in his message as to tho
treatment TO be accorded certain corpora
tions.
Senator Wilson declared that the bill
was necessity, as the legislature was
called upon to protect the authority OF
the state, which was annulled by the
United States court.
Senator Smythe said that the purpose
OF the measure was to prevent the rail-
roads from appealing to the federal court
when they believed that they were un-
Justly taxed, and he thought that it was
unconstitutional
A feature of the debate was the oppos-
ing Of the bill by Senator Zimmerman,
one of the governors right hand men,
who declared that while he had the high
est personal and political regard for the
head of the administration he would be
recreaut TO the trust reposed in him by
his people if he favored the measure. The
bill did not develop such great strength
as was expected and it only lacked four
votes of being killed
At the night session the charter repeal
bill passed its second reading.

pany Organized for the Purpose.
Baltimore, Md, Dec. IA phosphate
trust is in sight. A dispatch from Jack
sonville, Fla, to the Manufacturers
Record, says that company is about
to be organized to control the
Florida phosphate rock. 1t is intended to
dictate the standard, state the percent
age of quality of each cargo, and the for
eign buyers can purchase on these ratings,
or go without their phosphate. The cap
iUal of the company is not definitely
settled, but viii be between 100000
and S500000, This company win
advance a stipulated sum to each mining
company as it delivers its rock in the
market the sum being sufficient to reim-
burse the company for the actual outlay
in the matter OF wages, etc; then when
the rock is sold the balance of the amount
due will be paid over. The new company
is to anaIyze all rock and guarantee its
quality. The companies that do the min
ing will continue their individual ex-
istence, yet have a strong auxiliary com
pany that will tinancier their sales Al
rock will be sold in Florida, and thus
there will be large saving in doing away
with statesmen and middlemen.

WARS FROM wAYoRoss.
The Naval Stores outlook-TRe AL
lance Dead Politically.

Waycross, Ga. Dec. The naval
stores men of this section have com
menced cutting boxes. The number Of
boxes to be cut this season will be less
than the average, as compared with last
year. No new firms have been established
and several small firms have suspended
operations until the prices Of naval stores
are advanced. The leading turpentine
men are not discouraged by the present
gloomy prospect, but believe that by cut
ting fewer boxes this season they will
succeed. The usual prices will be paid
for labor.
Thomas H. Morton, Sr., ex-president Of
the Ware county farmers alliance, says
that "the alliance in nearly every county
in this section is kept up, but it Is
dead here for the present. Political
differences have caused the demise Of the
alliance in this county When the third
party men began to control the organiza-
tion all true democrats became disguised
