one of the most aggressive prohibi
tionists ?>f the State, spent somt
time in this section last week.
Mr J \Y Cock held, himself i
veteran, has gone to Mobile, Ala.
to attend the Reunion of Confeder
ate veterans.
Mrs A H Williams is in Columbij
attending a musical entertainmen
at the Columbia Female College.
Magistrate 0 S Daldin is in Ala
bnma this week. It is suppose*
chat he is feeling the loneliness o
bachelorhood.
It is really surprising how man;
people are interested in the mar
riage license question. This write
has had numerous inquiries abou
the bill requiring a marriage license
which was before the General As
^ sembly last session. Some seem t(
think it a wise measure, whil<
others are bitterly opposed to sue!
a thing becoming law.
The carnival company which spen
last week here seemed to have som<
attractions, judging from th<
crowds which attended the variom
performances.
Hie berry growers are complain
ing bitterly about the manner ir
which their shipments are being
handled by the express people. Th<
berries are being delayed so manj
hours that they lose the markets ol
from one to two days. Those ac
quainted with the business will understand
how serious a matter this
is. It often means the difference
between seven cents a quart and
twenty cents a quart, and even
more. The blame probably rests
with the Adams and United States
Express Companies, as the Southern
does not operate north of Rich
mond Such delays, in addition to
excessive rates and unreasonable
minimum car-loads, are playing
havoc with the business. The naked
fact is apparent to any observant
man that unless the berry growers
are given better treatment in the
respects mentioned, by the carriers,
they will be forced to abandon the
business entirely. Entire fields of
berries have already been ploughed
up, and the rest will certainly go,
unless there be a change and that,
t:>o, speedily. Only a few years ago
ten to twelve car-loads of berries
a day was not an unusual shipment:
now one-third that'amount would"
attract attention. Then twentyfive
to forty berry drummers and
buye.'.-s from Northern markets were
here at one time; now not one is
seen. Instead of encouraging the
industry, it appears that the carriers
are doing all they can to kill it.

TIT L: 1.
VYa5nHl?lA?Il,Ct<M>e tU tuss VIIC uuow
I and big corporations, some newspapers
say these Congressmen have
i become "broadened." Nothing is
, farther from the truth than this
; statement. They have not become
broadened but they have become
"tamed," and these trusts and cor;
porations have "tamed" them, too.
There are but few men who cannot
be "reached" in some way or other,
and these trusts and corporations
have no hesitation in employing any
n ethod under the sun to "reach"
1 those can help them or hurt them.
Last Sunday morning just as the
i train which bore Smith's carnival
from here was entering upon the
trestle which spans the lake in the
- upi>er edge of town, the largest
bear, having freed himself in some
,?vay, leaped from the moving train
rnd hied himself into the swamp.
1 His escape was immediately detected
and the train brought to a stand ?
... i ,
(still. The show people" pnen out
" j of the train and the town folks
^ I flocked to the scene. Everybody
f I not at church?men. women, children
and dogs?went, and had the
news been reported at the churches.
y doubtless services would have been
- broken up. All hands then engaged
r in a bear hunt, which resulted in
t the capture of bruin in about
half an hour anc^iis return to the
* car. The train proceeded north,
- and the cooks returned to their
) scorched dinners.
? Recently some "picture agents"
^ swindled scores of people in this
section. They dealt mostly with
the women and their method of
t procedure was about as follows:
j One would take an order for an en4
larged picture, collecting $1.98, the
price of the picture, together with a
5 chance at a fine premium. Another
would follow with the picture in a
big gilt frame and inform the dupe
that she had drawn a handsome
1 sideboard, or stove or suit of furni*
r ture and that the frame and freight
? on the splendid premium would cost
, her $5.00. In every case we have
^ heard of, she "bit" and handed
over the $5.00. The swindler gave
' a "receipt," signing no name but
stating in the receipt that the
5 premium would be delivered by a
, certain man, not himself, of course.
It were needless to add that the
"premiums"'have not arrived yet.
