All Fools' Day. i Yesterday was "All Fools Day" and the practical joker and his vic' tirn were constantly in evidence. Mr Epps, the cashier of the bank, was somewhat annoyed by business men coming to see about imaginary drafts ou them. A prominent attorney was told that there was a wagon load , of shad for sale in town and they were i selling at 25 cents apeiee. Fearing i they would all would be gone bei fore he got in 011 the deal he chased 1 down the street inquiring from everv one he met where the shad * were to be found. "The crowd h'u' mored the joke and the seeker after fish had gone almost the length of the street before it dawned 011 him , that it was "April Fool." These . and other jokes on the unwary made fun for the boys during the day.

BASS PAYS ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO OUR FAIR LAND. I Williamsburg Destined to Be a Veria- j ble Garden Spot-^Splendid Outlook for Truck Farmers?Other News. Hon A T Stackhouse, of Marion, i ' stopped in town a short while Tuesday on his way to visit Mr J Davis Carter with whom lie spent a day or two. Mr Stackhouse lias been in the House of Representatives a good many years and is familiarly known j by the members of that body as I ?<rr_ m?| "Ufll'ic a rues. nc jo nr. uviui vi the House. Dr W S Lynch came over fiom Scrantou one day last week ou business. The strawberry season is upon us, and a remarkably early one it is. Dr Durant has won the distinction | of not only making the first shipment of this season but'of breaking all previous records as to the date. He sent off the first on Tuesday, March 25. The earliest record up to this season was April 18th. Dr Durant beats this by twenty four days. Jt is tine that he had only a very few baskets but it was a genuine shipment and the first shipments are invariably small. The cold snap of last week checked development for a few days but the liernes are now ripening rapidly and the crop movement will be under full and I rapid Way within a few days. Bar ring unexpected cold and accident the crop will be a big one-far exceeding anything ever known in our market. The acreage is about double that of last year and the average yield is expected to exceed previous outputs. Crates and baskets are coming in bv the car load. Things are>rapidly shaping for the rush. Messrs Singletary have been shipping lettuce several days and in good quantities. They made a good crop and are realizing fair prices. The truckers' peas arc blooming right along and in some fields the pods are forming. Therefore, basket upon basket of this delicious vegetable will soon be moving to less favored climfes to tickle the palate of those who will revel in the enjoyment of our crystalized sunshine. In all the world there is no better land than South Carolina, and in all South Carolina there is no better spot than our clear old Willihmsburg. Before our eountv lies a future that would transfix us with astonishment could we but come back to look upon her one hundred years from now, yea, fifty, twenty five, ten years hence?she will be transformed. We are only just beginning to realize faintly?and but faintly?what i Providence has given us.

Not one. Our adjectives are not selected without advisement. Each one means just what it says. No finer berries are known to the ; epicure than the Lake City Lady Thompson's.

Ah, friend! the 1 soft sunbeams that steal down ^ through the newly washed and vioJ let tinted air becomes entangled in the sheaf and leaf and stalk of the modest plant that lies close to the tender bosom of Mother earth and by the alchemy of nature is changed into the berry that moves trains r faster, that makes express men's months dribble, and that wakes np , .; . v : '4 New York's fruit dealers at th midnight hour.

Hon W B Gause was in town froir Florence county Friday. Mr Winslow Wright came ovei from Scranton Friday on business shipments of li<juor to this plac< are decreasing and for a very goot reason, to wit: most of it that come: here never reaches the consignee; but it is hustled off to the Stat< commissioner. Intendant Gaskini and Marshal Arms hold up ever jug or other package that come: here until investigation cau be madi and should there be anything con neeted with a jug that leads then to conclude that the stuff is iuten ded for illegal purposes, it is sen away to Columbia at once. Sev eral shipments have been coniiscatet during the ten days last past. Foul jugs were seized Saturday., Notwithstanding the antics tha the weather cut Sunday and Sunda) night we don't take back a word w< have said about our Heaven blessed?land.
