INTERCHANGE OF CARS.
The Port Royal Case Before the state
Commission.


Atlanta, Ca, July 9.-The railroad COM
mission held a meeting to-day at which
the case involving the application of rule
80, of the commissions regulations, re-
curing the interchange of business be-
tween lines in the state without reloading
was heard. In the case to-day. however,
interstate commerce is involved. If the
commission decides that rule 80 is not ap-
p1cable many complications may arise.
The complaint to-day was made by D.
P. Google of Port Royal, against the Cen
trail railroad. Hon. Boykin Wright of Au-
Messrs. Lawton and Cunningham of Sa-
vannah, with Receiver Conner and Traffic
Manager Welborn for the Central rail-
road. Mr.. Google billed a shipment of
guano from Port Royal to Box Springs,
Ga. At Macon the Central refused to re-
ceive the cars, because they had not been
routed from Augusta over the Central,
holding that the goods must be reloaded
and handled by the Central at local rates.
The effect of such action would be to put
an embargo on all such shipments. On
shipments originating within the state
and billed to points inside the state, the
commissioners can force one road to ac-
cept cars from any other road, but the
present case opens the question as to
whether the same can be enforced on in
terstate business. The commission has
taken the matter under advisement.

The temperature conditions were about
normal, though in a few localities the
nights were cooler than was good for
cotton. All crops are growing very rapid

1.-The corn crop continues very promis-
ing, a good harvest being already as
sured in some of the southern counties,
Peaches and melons are abundant, the
first named crop bidding fair to turn OIL:
the heaviest ever grown in the state.
1.-THE wet weather has delayed the laying
by" of crops in the northern districts,
where some injury is also reported 10

Several severe local storms occurred
during the week, causing much damage
by breaking down fruit trees, and pros
trating corn and oats where not har-
vested.
Reports from the southern counties
are encouraging, although too much rain
has fallen for some crops. Corn could
not be better and the largest yield for
years is expected. Cotton is small but is
growing fast. A fair yield is promised at
present

LEASE OF THE NORTHEAsTERN.
The Southern Railway and an Ath-
ems Firm Said to Want the Road.


Atlanta, July 9.-There is a suspicion in
the minds Of Athenians that the South
ern railway is after the Northeastern rail-
road, the road now owned by the state.
Before the state took charge the little
road was leased by the Richmond and
Danville, but it didn't pay and the Dan
Vile allowed IL TO fall into the lap of the
state by defaulting on the interest. It
seems, however. that since the organiza-
ton of the Southern, that big concern is
looking with covetous eyes upon the
Northeastern. The people Of Athens DO
not want to become a part of the South
ern, however, and Hodson Bros, the we'll
know capitalists of Athens, are heading
company which proposes to lease the
Northeastern from the state Members
of the legislature are already being can
vasssd in the interest of this company.
Hodgson Bros. having sent out letters TO
the legislators outlining their plan, and
urging them to consider the advisa bjlity
of the lease, which will be sprung at the
approaching session Of the legislature.

GLOVES FOR FALL WEAR.
stylish Hand Ware for Followers of the
Fashions.


Fashions.
The makers of mems gloves recog-
nizing the disposition of the new wom-
an to lay claim to all the masculine
belongings she can appropriate, are
manufacturing gloves in women's
sizes and in mems styles. They are
of heavy tan or red dogskin, with one
or at most two buttons. More gen.
orally clasps are used, and the new
woman thereby escapes one of her
hated domestic duties-that of sewing
on buttons. There is no doubt that
these gloves wear better and are better
made than the majority of thin kid
ones hastily put together for woman's
wear. But they are far from shapely.
No street glove with any claim to
distinction is fastened nowadays with
the small pearl button once in form.
The smallest one allowable is a we'll
cut pearl or bone one approaching an
old-fashioned three-cent piece in size.
They range from this to sizes little
larger than dime. They are colored
to match the kid to a certain degree.
The stitching on short gloves is
quite heavy, but is not in the broad
lines fashionable short time ago. 1t
is generally of the same color as the
gloves, Except when they are very
light. W mite and lemon-colored glazed
kid gloves have black stitching, but
the red tan and gray ones are stitched
in their own colors.
The day of the glazed kid glove for
dress occasions seems about over. The
soft, dull suedes are once more popu-
lar and glazed kid is regarded as
poor substitute for the heavy dogskin
gloves dear to the tailor-made girl

WELL EARNED REPROOF.
The Bad Mistake Of a Lady Who Lacked
Civiiity.

Nlsilitl.
The following anecdote is, we fear,
too good TO be true, but it is going
about town on respectable authority.
Some time ago tourist stepped into a
postal telegraph office in one of our
country districts, and going up to the
counter wrote an address on a letter.
He was about to leave, when he caught
sight of lady N charge, and lifting
his hat bowed politely to her. But the
lady had lofty ideas of her official posi-
ton, and thus addressed the departing
gentleman: Il must say, it's a pretty
piece of impertinence to come to this
office simply to scribble an address,"
The intruder courteously responded,
saying that he had hoped such thing
might be permitted in extraordinary
circumstances, but that if no person
was TO be admitted for such purpose
he was quite prepared to send tele-
gram. He then proceeded to fill up a
form, and handed il over to the lady,
filed up IN the following manner: THE
lady clsrk at this office wantonly ig-
nores every rule of civility." The lady
was struck dumb when she read the
message, which vas addressed to the
secretary of the general post office and
bore a well-known name. The gentle
man observed her extreme confusion,
and. relenting, said: Il don't think III
trouble you to send the telegram, un-
less you particularly wish; but / will
express the hope that you will be lit
tie more careful as to your language in
the future" The lady clerk did not
fail to learn the lesson thus taught her
as to her department in the discharge
of duty.-The Princess.

Many things are said to be as natu-
raj as that ducks take to water. But
a writer in French magazine tells OF
ducks that actually hated water. There
were three of them, and they had lived
some years in Paris, where they had a
small basin and their daily bath. Their
owner finally took them to the country
to live beside a fine lake. thinking it
the ideal place for the amphibious. He
was surprised on putting them into the
lake to see them instantly scramble
ashore and waddle Indian file
to neighboring stable, whence
they never came out save to
feed. Never could they be induced
to remain in the water save by
force or fear, and when there they al
ways draw close together, so as to oc-
cupy no more space than their bath
basin in Paris. They were thoroughly
afr. id of the lake, and they never be-
care used to it. In Picardy, 1t seems,
young ducks are often kept from the
water In order to protect them from
water rats and prevent them from eat
ing that might injure their flavor when
they appear upon the table. Ducks
thus brought up until their full
growth of feathers is acquired refuse
to enter the water, and, if forced in,
sometimes drown. After all, what
does instinct amount to?-Boston jour
