W. S. JAMES. Supervisor of Registration.. Dec. 7.. ?rt. News at the State Capital. COLUMBIA. January 4 -Last year about this time the Ad IL ir, i st ratio a was raising a great hue and cry about the railroads cot paying the tates as fixed by the board of railroad equalization At that time the State officials charged that it was a conspiracy agains-? the State, and all that kind of rubbish. Tt was something new then This year practically the same thing has occurred. Ooe good thing about tbe* non-payment of tases this year is that ttere is a prospect o? an early eefltteiaent of the question io the Courts Attorney Genera;!1 Townsend will leave here about the end o-f the week to represent the State in the celebrated railroad tax cases It is hoped that at that beating a decision will be rendered that will be satisfactory for the settle? ment of the outstanding indebtedness. Last year there was a balance of about ?35,000 reported as unpaid, and this year the amount in dispute will be abou-t the same The railroad assess? ments for 1890-91 were $26.065,890 and for 1891-92 is $20.783.607, and th^re is relatively ab?>ut as much difference between tb? amount as returned by the railroads and that fixed bv the ?tate board of equalization Vh? railroads this year tendered the towny treasurers taxes on a basis of the returns as made by them The amounts were accepte* on the same conditioo as last year. The tax situation, so far as the railroads are concerned, is growing to be qutte interesting For the 6? st time .since the passage of the Evans dispensary biil Governor Tillman bas expressed an opinion as to his determination to see it enforced or to let rt take its own course. To night he expressed himself, in the mo>t vigorous language in bis vocabulary, that he would see that the law ?as cuforced on and afttr the first of July, no matter what influences might be brought to bear N<?t even the Courts, Lie s-aii?, could interfere ra tte enforcement, of a'law which had been passed. He would see as long as be was Governor that every violator of the law would be punished, and, if necessary, sent to the Penitenti? ary. The law will at that time be as tffective as auy apon the statute books aud be proposes to make it such. Governor Tillman seems to have anticipated the issuing of licenses for a year- Preparatory to his leaviug the city, after a coastaltation with? Attorney General Townsend, be bad him notify ! all county treasurer as to their course j upon the tender of money for licenses: "The laws J' he sai]?, "were interpreted by tbe proper authorities and nobody is, or eau be, a part of the Government who would not uphold the law.'' Lt is very probable that Govern? r Tillman will retaove Treasurers Camp? bell and Walter for having issued licenses for one year, although he says that he will hear what defence any treasurer might have to make. Assistant Attorney General O W Buchanan, in a talk today about the course of the county treasurers tn issu? ing licenses for a year, remarked 'hat the county treasurers had no right . whatever to grant licenses ; that was a function of the municipalities. The treasurers are simply, depo.-itoctes., and it is left to th? cities and towns whether a license fee granted or not, even after the county has received the money. S > far as the law was concerned the receipt of the county made no difference what? ever as to this responsibility. In case the matter was taken to the Courts he did not see how the counties would have to bear say part of the onus. Governor Tillman, who returned to the city tonight, is of the opinon that jj Clemson College will be opened for the receplio* of students about the first ot June. The? board of trustees at its . meeting yesterday decided to take im? mediate action to secure the necessary labor and material for tko completion of the building. Th* tff*e of the opeoiug of the College will depend materially upon the success of securing these. The date will be determined at the February meeting. The first month of the College will be devoted to organization, after winch the young men will get down to hard work. Provision wiil be trade for the quarter? ing of six hundred students. Nothing was done at-the meeting a? to the election of a president to succeed Prof. Strode. Piof Strode will >^inain at Clemson iu the capacity of professor of mat h?maties. Governor Tillman and thc other trustees of the College feel very much encouraged at the outlook as well as the i prospects for the early opening of the farmers' institution'.-Columbia Cor.

A Mew Route Nortis Tbe latest railroad gossip to Savan ?ab, says ?The Savannah News, is that there ie a* prospect that the Atlantic Coast Lice m?y make a move to secure a connection with the South Bound railroad and operate its Florida service over that line as soon as the Florida Central and Peninsular eztensoin to Savauuah is completed The reports have it that the Atlantic Coast Liue bas becomd dissatisfied with its arrangment with the Plant system, by which all of the north and s- uth busi? ness of the Coast Line is turned over to the Flaut system. One reason f<w this dissatisfaction is sa?d to be that the Coast Line has failed to gain the ad? vantage expected in reduction of time by reason of ibe building of the Wilson Cut-Off, on account of the dilatory schedules of the Plant system. The Coast Line began thc operation of trains over the "cut off" yesterday. By the oew schedule which- went into effect ! the Coast Line gains two* hours and a half on its southern trip over tile previ? ous schedule. The new schedule of the Flaue system only saves an hour arnd a half on the old schedule to Savannah and loses another half boar on th? way to Jacksonville, red'?ern g the gain io time to travelers coming south by the Coast Line to one hour. The explanation given of this by the officials of the Plant system ie tba! the Coast Jjine fast train arrives in Charles? ton at the unearthly hour of 4 o'clock in the morning, aod No. 27 on the Charleston & havannah road, which takes up the schedule here, which could leave at 4:30 o'clock, is held until 5:30 o'clock for the convenience of passen? gers at that poiot. By leaving Charles? ton at 5:30 o'clock instead of 4:30 it is said that the passengers arrive in Savannah at a seasonable time for breakfast, and at Jacksonville at a pro? per hour for d nine sr. lt is. not thought that the advantage of saving an hour rn the schedule would compensate for the start from Charleston at 4:30 o'clock, and awaking thc passengers for break? fast in Savannah two hours later. Another reason, it is said, why the Coast kine desiras a connection with the South Bound railroad is that by do? ing so it will get the advantage of the reduced distance to Jacksonville by the newline of nearly forty utiles mall, and the shorter route of the Florida <k Peninsular railroad to Tampa, a saving of about seventy miles Io addition to this rt rs? thought that the Coast Line could save a few miles more to Savannah by building to a connection with the South Sound ??y adding the distance saved to Jackson? ville sud Tampa to the distance gained by the Wilsen short cut, the Coast Line would be enabled to make a much , shorter schedule south than it does at present. The new route which was pat into operation yesterday leaves Wilmington to the east and runs hy Fayetteville, N. C., to Florene*. S. C , aud thence to ? Charleston. From Charleston to 6-?m ?-e* rhe C08S1 Line has a track and the l-atter place is also on tl^e main line of th? Atlantic Coast Iii ne frota Charlea* too. to Columbia. Vftthout constructing a mile of track the Coast Line could run its trains via Columbia over the South Bound to Sa- \ vannab, which soute would be only a few miles longer than nearest route via Charleston. From Sumter there is a line controlled by the Coast Line to a little towu called ' Bimini and from this point to Denmark or Graham's wi the South Bound w^ai)out ninety miles , By building a short cut across the coun? try here, thc distance around by Colum? bia would be saved. This is said to be the plan; to connect from Denmark on the South Bound to Sumteron the ' Coastline and to operate the through"' freight and passenger set vice* between Flordia and the north by that route. The route would be a few miles shorter to Savannah than the present one via CfarFestoo and would have the advant of the decreased distances to Florida points via tue Florida Central and Peninsular railroad. The reports did not originate in Sa? vannah but were brought here from along the Atlantic Coast Lrne,.- where the report is current. It may be pure gossip and there may be something in it. World's Pair Club Retires: COLUMBIA, January 5.-Special-ST??* Central Club of South Carolinas which has been indefatigable in the interests I of the World's Fair Club, af this even? ing's session decided that it wo dd be best to abandon their attempt, as they could reoeive no assistance from, the legislature.

During tl past five years I have watched this ma ter closely and find that the men wb have been the most successful in T< bacco growing are those who are n< afraid to ?ive their lands just what the required. Take Price, Groome, Lucai Ricks aod others of this State, Motlej Elam, Sec , of Virginia ; Rogers, Brut son, Whipple. of South Carolin and you will &ud that they use fertilizer unstintingly on their lands and-large ly iu consequence-are the most sut cessful planters. Tobacco raising to be a success mus fte on the intensive rather than the es tensive scale. Small crops and fin Tobacco is what pays. The sloven 1, Tobacco grower never makes ends meet because Tobacco will not thrive uode the management of "don't care. Therefore the planter who grows a fet acres, or more, whatever the size of bi crop-must make the laud yield all tba it will and of the very best Scant; fertilizing won't pay. If your acre lo needs 500 pounds of fertilizer to mak it yield its best-you should not be con tent to put on 300 pounds and let i suffer for the balance. Let the plante bear this in minc? that prol fie fertilizing pays best and he is not so liable to mak< a mistake with his crop in the outset. Maj,. Rigland who has made a studi of fertilizers for Tobacco through a loni series of years, has written Sor me som< random suggestions on this ail-import ant subject which are given below : "The best trme to ?laVe heavy appli cations to plant-bed, is when the bedi are being prepared and sown and before the seeds germinate, for after germina tree the tender diminutive plants are easily kitted by foo heavy application of strong fertilizers. After the plantf gTow te the size of a gold dollar ano larger they are not near st) easily killed by fertilizers, if such are applied while the plants are dry." Domestic manures ferr Tobacco are ''aft much improved by composting ; for the compost heap pulverizes them and puts them io the best condition to" afford nourishment to-1 the plants. Coarse, bulky, dry unrotted manures are un? suited to Tobacco, and on some soils do more barm than good, especially should the growing season prove dry and the soil be natusally tb-irsty. The eomp'onent etemeaits of fertilizers for Tabacco should be adapted to the wants of the plants, the character of the soil and the class or type to be pro duce^?. Tb at is they shouldbe such as to promote the growth aod development of that type, and to meet the needs ot the soil in supplementing thereto what best eo?tributes to produce the largest product of the finest quality. The elements most needed in To? bacco fertilizers are soluble phosphoric iacid, nitrogen (yielding ammonia)' and potash. And if planters kuew the composition and needs of their sot's, thiey might then make their own ferti? lizers to very great advantage. But tbis they cannot always do, for two reasons-the lack of knowing; what their soils most need, and how to select and compooud fertilizing materials to supply the needed clemen's-'' Rich soils rarely produce Tobacco of fine quality and"higl? color,.-but of more body and larger yield ; and the demand increases for Tubaecos of substance and elasticity. The general practica of North Carolina and Virginia over the old bright-'belt it to use far too little fertilizers h is uot ^uncommon up North for planters to ?apply to 1,000 pounds per acre, ;and harvest from 1,200 to 2 OOO'pouuds per acre produoti. Lt is true, however, cigar Tobacco moires heavier ftrtiliz iog than bright yellow. Planters in Eastern North- Carolina . and? in-Sou ihr Carolina-Tare using heavier applications and with restil s decidedly jbeneacial.

Cufo?tunatel the war made sad havoc with if?? Vi; ginian's resources, bat his old time ope heartedness has never altered. Some years ago a friend of mine trai eling in the lower portion of ' that stat stopped for a few hours with old ai quaintances and remained for tea. A occasion of this kind in Virginia call invariably for the favorite dish of th south-fried chicken. Alas! there was but one young chicke on. the place, and that one a pet. It ha been, left an orphan by its mother- at very early age, and, like Pip in Charle Dickens' "Great Expectations," had bee brought np by hand. The childre: called it Tommy, and were very fond o it, while Tommy in tura was attochei to the children. The matter was a very serious one and a family consultation was . held Virginia hospitality could not be lightl; disregarded, and it was decided tha poor Tommy must become the sacrifice My friend of course knew nothing o the tragedy that was being enact ed fo his comfort, and when tea was serve* regarded the plate of nicely browne* chicken with contemplative joy: Soon, however, he 'became aware tha something was amiss. An air of silen sorrow pervaded the little family grouj usually so gay, an-Vthe children41 tobi nothing on their plates. Th? chickei was passed, but with the exception oj my friend no one partook. Selecting ? jaicy looking drumstick, ? he fixed-, ii with his fork, and cutting off a choice bit conveyed it to his mouth. 4 At this there was a sudden and hearl breaking howl from one of the little boys, "Oh, mamma, mamma, he's eating up our Tommy LM . . Thereupon the other children mingled their voices in a wild wailing, and the older members burst into uncontrollable laughter in which, as the truth dawned upon him, my friend joined. . Then there came explanations; more laughter and tears, and adjustments all around.' - . .

A very singular story is told concern? ing the vagaries of one mass of globe lightning.

Babbinet, of the Academic des Sciences, said it looked like a good sized? kitten rolled irproto a ball and moving Without showing its paws. It was bright and shining, yet he felt rio; sensation of heat. The globe came near his feet, but by moving them gent i y asirle he avoided the contact After trying several excursions in dif? ferent directions it rose vertically to the height ot' his head- which he threw' back to prevent it touching- h3n>-^ steered toward a hole in'th? chimney* above the mantelpiece, and made its way" into the flue. Shortly afterward "when he supposed it had had time to reach the top," the tailor said-there was a dreadful explosion, which- de-" stroyed the upper part of the clumner and threw the fragments on to the roofs of-sertoe adjoining buildings, which they broke through:*-Chambers' Journal: As Thieu ry About-Man's Beard.
