HOW MUCH A Klss7

The Pretty Swiss Maiden and the Stu
dent from Pennsylvania.
When was journeying through the
Brunig Pass in Switzerland the train
stopped at one of the email stations
there. 1t is the custom for the Swiss
girls to come out to the carriages with
fruit in small wicker baskets, which
they sell to the tourists for fifty cent
ines or ten cents in our money.
At the particular station of which I
write it was an exceedingly pretty
maiden who came up to our carriage.
with her braided, weather bleached
hair shining uncovered in the soft
Swiss sunshine; her eyes were blue
and sweet and her voice was very
beautiful.
'Feefty confines, - was all she could
say, as she held up her fruit TO US
smiling winningly the while.
Among our party was young q. Of
]. student .Jove but isn't she
pretty!" he exclaimed, and suddenly
leaned recklessly out of the window,
and said to the pretty creature:
What would you take for a kiss?"
Fifty confines. 7" the girl replied.
holding up her fruit and smiling
sweetly; whereupon the irrepresslble
student spsnng out of the carriage
and. rushing up to the Swiss maiden,
quietly bought one of her baskets of
fruit saying, as he came laughing
back:
We'll. I had but fifty confines and
! thought I'd rather have the fruit
than the kiss and then. too. prom
ised my mother not to take any risks
over here might have brought a
breach-of-promise suit don't you

head sagely and s Ching: 'One can't
be too careful with these women. even
in unsophsticated Switzerland. -

A MORt FIeRdtsh Plot.

COLUMBIA. S. c., May 3l.-On Sun
day the wife OF Rev. S. p. Schumpert,
a well known minister of Lexington
County went to visit relative soma
miles from her home. 1t was in the
evening when she returned. Knowing
that it would be lnte before she arrived
at her home her uncle, Who she had
been visiting decided to accompany her
In 90 doing q henious crime was possibly
prevented. Before the lady and her es
Cort reached her homo they found that
the road had been barricaded by trees,
stumps and other things. An investlga.
| ton revealed that number OF baretooted
men had built the barricade. Further
investigation led to some startling reve-
lations. These revelations exposed an
alleged plot which had been formed to
intercept the lady on her return to her
homo and to criminally assault her.
Two negroes were srrested and arc sup
posed to be IN Lexington jail. A negro
named George Taylor was also sus-
pected Of being implicated IN the plot.
He left Lexington and came to this city.
In the meantime the matter had been re-.
ported to Chief Radcliffe by tho husband
of the lady and the Chief issued orders
| for all Of the officers to look out for the
| negro. Yesterday morning Officer Boil
ton saw Taylor in Main street and ar
rested him. Taylor was put in the sta
| ton house and will be kept there Until
The arrival of Lexington officers. What
| ~ill be done with the neogroes or what
has been done with them is not known.
If there has been any talk of lynching il
has not reached this city. Il is probable
that if the negroes have not been lynched
their lives have hung on the failure OF
those making Investigations to get suffl-
cient against tthem.-Rsgister.

ASSESSMENT OF RAILROAD.
Slight Reductions M ado In tho Assess
m"nts OF Most OF Them.

Slight Reductions M ado In tho Assess-
m"nts OF Most OF Them.
CoLUMBIA.S S. G.. May 3l.-The State
Board Of Railroad Equalization held a
meeting yesterday aud made the assess.
ments on the railroads for the ensuring
year.
The Board is composed of State Ire.
asurer Bates as chairman, Attorney
General Buchanan, Secretary Of State
l1noal and Chairman Duncan, of the
NalrOad Commission.
The session of the Board did not last
over three hours but every road in the
State was gone over and the assess.
ments on each fixed. The assessments
are not final; at least changes NAV be
made ID some of them. Each road has
been notified of the amounts IL was as
sessed at and will be given an opportu-
nifty to enter protests or TO ask for
changes. The next meeting will be
held on June9.
Secretary Norton, Of the Board. was
too busy yesterday to give the figures
to the puplic but from different sour
ces IL was leared that there has been a
slight scaling in the assessments OF a
majority OF the roads. The assessments
of some OF the new roads, notably the
Wilson Short Cat and the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern, have been in
| creased. The object of the Board in
| the reductions and increases was to
! equaliZe taxation. The two new roads
| mentioned have played havoc with the
business Of some Of the old roads and
have consequently diminished the val
ue Of the latter.
| 1t Is understood that the Columbia
and Greenvillee, the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta, the Spartanbuag, Un-
Ion and Columbia and the PieamonC
Air Line, all Of the Richmond and
DanYille system. have had reductions
made In their assessments. The reduc-
ttons run from $1,000 to $4,000 per
mile. The Atlantic Coast Line and the
| Port Royal and Augusta roads have
also been given reductions. The largest
cut was made in the Three C's Road,
which will hereafter pay $4,000 instead
OF $40 600 mile. The assessment of
the South Carolina road Will remain as
1t is, $4,000 per mile.
! The assessment Of the Columbia and
Greenville road last year was $1O,5OO
per mile; the Char lotte, Columbia and
Augusta $S14 600 per mile; the Pied
mont Air Line $4,000 per mile; the
Coast Line $13 600.
The total reduction will not be heavy
probably 100000 or 100000 in the en-.
tire State,
The following shows the amount Of
railroad property by counties in this
State, and on which the roads paid in
