THE SENATE.

The fight against the Virginia-Caro-
lima Chemical company was fought to
a finish in the senate, and the fertili-
zer company won. It was great
fight and one in which the pubic has
taken great deal of interest. The
features of the debate yesterday were
Senator Graydon's arguments in favor
of the bill, and Senator Watkins
speech against it. The latter was pro-
nounced the strongest speech heard on
the floor of the senate at this session.
Senator Graydon made an able tight
for the measure, but was unsuccessful.
The bill was killed by vote OF 20

PRODUCTION Of new bills after Wednes-
dav. After considerable amount Of
skylarking the house agreed to sus-
pend the resolution and the bill was
introduced. Among the bills intro
duced was the supply bill which makes
the levy in each Of the several coun-
ties in the State.
The senate returned with amend
ments the bill to redistrict the State.
Mr.. Weston favored the senate
amendment taking Clarendon from the
Seventh and putting it with the First
district. He said that if this bill is
not passed there can be no redistrict-
ing. The bill as it passed the house
left the First district with Charleston
as the principal county with a very
small population in comparison with
the Seventh district. By changing
Clarendon county the population OF
the two districts would be more even.
Mr.. Moses protested against Claren-
don being torn from Sumter He init

bill to the free conference committee

MIR. Mclaughlin of Orangeburg saw
no reason in sending the bill to confer

After that there was the fullest coE-

some very bright and sagacious ideas
advanced by the latter.
Everything seemed as usual. Yet

Capt. Brand had taken the alarm.

Hence he detested Charlie with q
venom such as could only be compared

bury Its poisoned fangs in the object

In brief. this fine old plotter began
to east about him for some method by
means OF which he could get rid of
Mr.. Charlie Stuart, either temporarily
or for all time.
He was not alone In his scheming.
Other harpies there were who hoped

Accordingly these precious worthless
laid their heads together In order to
devise some brilliant scheme whereby
the obnoxious intcrloper-this young
Lochinvar who had come out of the
west-might be defeated ere he could
carry the Girl on on his fleet steed.
And when the conference was nd.

Philadelphia Times. One had to do
with Virginia belle of a generation
ago-a member of the Clark county
Taylors, famous in the social history
of that state. Her betrothal to a
worthy gentleman by the name of
Mason had been announced at a
formal function; and one young gen.
tleman, whose hopes with regard to
her had been crushed by the an
nouncement, greeted her thus:
MAY I beg to assure you that am
always yours, in spite of the fact, Miss
Taylor, that hear you are to change
your vocation for that of Mason?"
She regarded him contemplatively
for moment, and then replied:

having found goose, may decide
to remain a Taylor"
