they obtained their rights. He had
agreed for Mr.. Williams to introduce
the bill, as he had a similar case in his
part OF the State.
Mr.. Patton then made legal protest
against such bill. 1t was clearly, alb.
soluteIy unconstitutional.
MIR. Livingston wanted the matter
considered without reference to special
cases. Railroads were public corpora
lions. He took issue with Mr.. Patton.
he said this bill was not alone to cure
present ills, but also to control railroad
property in the future.
Mr.. Mccullough said this was moth
ing more or less than an attempt, to
olackmail the purchaser of this road
into operating it. This was the pur-
pose OF the bill.
Mr.. Blythe thought this language
improper. The gentleman who was
the attol ney for the road should re-
nom ber that he was not in court.
Mr.. Mccullough said he was not the
attorney of tho road, but he die repre-.
sent the purchaser of the road. All
ne asked was that the hill be made to
apply to railroads yet to be built.
Inc gentleman from Greenville, Mr..
Williams said, had used language, that
to say the least, was unkind.
Mr.. Mccullough, interrupting, said
ne had not intended to say anything
unkind, but If he had, he apologized.
Mr.. Goodwin, of Greeuville. thought
the bill should be passed.
Mr.. McCullough's motion to recon
slder was then tabled.

MIR. Crum said that the Citadel was
the only institution at which poor
boy could get an education without O
cent of cost. IT is an institution for

paid at the Citadel than elsewhere.
MIR. Cushman thought the Citadel
the best institution in the State aud
the institution should be supported,
but he favored retrenchment.
The House rejected the proposition
TO reduce the appropriation to $40, 900,
aud then the yeas and nays were call
ed on the proposed cut to- $4,000.

The she bears ought to come along.
The scripture says that old age is hon

glory OF an old man is his chidreu's

the children who have no grand pa

But old age has its triumphs and

Tho Bill to Confiscate Abandoned
Railroad Property.

Mr.. Williams bill providing for the
forfeiture to tho State of abandoned
railroad property was then taken up.
| The committee amendments were
| agreed to and then the bill was ordered
to final reading in this shape:
Section |. That any person, company
or corporation owning, operating or
| controlling any line OF railroad in this
State which shall tear up or remove
Its track, or attempt to tear up or to
discontinue regular freight and pas
senger service thereon for the period
OF five days, except when prevented by
the act of God or the public enemy,
shall be deemed to have abandoned the
same, and because of such abandonment
shall forfeit to the State its charter
and all the tracks, cars. rights of way,
lands, depots and all other property
connected with or belonging to the
said railroad.
| Sec. 2. Whenever it shall appear to
the Attorney General that any such
person, company or corporation has
abandoned its line OF railroad, he shall
proceed to forfeit the same as afore-
sain by rule against such person, COM
pany or corporation in court OF COM
petent Jurisdiction, requiring them to
show cause why the same should not
DO forfeited Provided, That the pro.
visions of this act shall hot apply to
street railways.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect on
approval and shall apply to any and all
railroads that may hereafter be re.
ceived by the State railroad commits.
sion and opened for operation.
MIR. Mccullough made an effort tC
have the House reconsider tho vote
whereby it had passed Mr.. Williams
bill providing for the forfeiture to the
State OF abandoned railroad property
He feared that this bill was aimed al
a road in his county known as the
swamp Rabbit" To pass this bill
would amount to dishonest act on the
parl OF the State. Ho gave history
OF the road down to its purchase by {
citizen Of Greenville. 1t was wrong II
rob him Of his property as this &C
would do. He offered an amendmen
to prevent the property from revert
ing to the State il the purchaser could
not operate 1t at once.
Mr.. Williams said this bill did affec

For the Florida Agriculturist.
A New Strawberry.

Great interest having been taken in
our new strawberry we have pleasure
in sending you an account of what is
grand success in strawberry cul-
ture.
AS you know we have been trying
for a considerable time back to get
a better strawberry to take the place
of the Newman. After many failures
we have succeeded beyond our most
sanguine hopes.
For some years we have been prop
agating what we thought a likely
plant, and last spring Ca most recu-
liar season for strawberry growers)
this plant proved itself worthy of II:
the praise we can give it.
We had about 5000 plants set out =
some of them set the previous year,
the others in July, August, Septem-
Der and October, just as we got them
raised. On Christmas day, 1896, we
picked our first quart; every day af-
ter, they increased their production,
till we were shipping from these few
plants eight bushel crates per week.
The freeze of the oath of January did
not stop their yield, as this variety
protects it's fruit and bloom. The
plants grow to an enormous size,
some of them being two feet and a
half in diameter. On one plant we
counted $50 berries at one time.
The berries are all borne in the
middle of the plant. After the freeze
we had a drouth of nearly two
months and still these plants bore on,
the only difference being in the size
of the berries which were a little
smaller. The berries are shaped like
an irregular cone swelling at the
ever tasted and are as large as the
Lady Thompson. Two hundred plants
properly set out, fortified, and Guilt
waited, would supply an ordinary sized
family with all the strawberries they
could use from January till June.
In setting almost none die, in fact
they lived so we'll last season that we
did not require to reset single plant
in any of the rows, and the rows have
still perfect stand. We gave few
plants of this variety to several grow
ers who were getting plants of the
Newman variety from us, and they all
give an enthusiastic account of it's
merits. We enclose copy of letter
from the grower to whom we gave
the largest number of plants. We
have named our new strawberry, the
Early Florida" as it ripens before
all others. It is a staminate or per-
feet blooming plant.
We are preparing to set out two
acres with Early Florida strawberry
plants, so as to have a large number
of young plants on hand which will
enable us to supply large demand.

"Well-er-yes, I suppose SO: but did

Album" said Mr. Dana meditatively,
that Is bad. very bad. I will see what
can be done. 1t won't do to have a man

truth. will it," Then the editor directed
a searching glance full of innocent In
Quiry upon tha face OF hts caller. The lat

mered something about reporters being
too impertinent. and hade Mr. Dana a

Dana had listened politely TO the theatri-
