FRUIT WILL BE FINE.

 THE OUTLOOK AROUND GREENvILLE-DE-
 CREASE IN FERTILIzER SALES.
 GREENvILLE, April 6.-[Special Corre- spondence. Jour section haslbeen blessed with fine weather for the past ten days and farm and garden work has progressed rapidly. The fruit crop, especially pears, promises to be very large.
 Anything like an accurate estimate can- not be given as to the cotton acreage, but it is generally agreed that there will be 8 reduction. The sale of commercial fer- tilizers is the smallest for years, a really more important factor as to yield than the amount of acres. There Is a great deal of about ''living at home," but time alone will show how much is talk and how much truth.
 On Tuesday night Mrs. Frazer of Auburn gave reading at the city hall for the ben- eft of the Baptist church, which was greatly enjoyed by those present.
 MT. F. L. Willis, state secretary of the Young Mems Christian association, made us pop call on Friday and entertained 8 large audience at the Presbyterian church with his delightful singing and entertain ing talk.

English Women at the Forge.

There was long shed, with eight or ten forges in 1t, worker and blower to each forgo. Foil was being carried on with feverish energy under the eyes of the master, who promenaded up and down. There were as many women as men. Tn heat was great and the smell baddish and suggestive of Its extreme badness in mid. summer.
 At one forge one woman, aged about 22, used the hammer with her hands and worked tho oliver with her feet. I tried to do as she did. Sho settled nail in two or three blows. It cost me seven.

 LONDON, April 6.-The Central News cor respondent in Shanghai states that as the conditions of peace proposed by the Japan- ese, in addition to the independence of Corea, the war indemnity and the cession of Formosa and the Lio-T Tung province, including Port Arthur, Japan requires that China shall allow the unham pered importation of machinery into her territory and the establishment and management of manufacturers by foreigners. She must pledge herself, moreover, to open to the vessels of all nations the Yang Tso- Kiang river as far as Chung King Foo, the Slang Kian as tar as Siang-Tan Kien, the Canton river as far as Ouchoofoo, the Wusang river and the canal as far as Soochoo 10 the north and Cheefoo to the south. China must remove permanently the Wusang bar and provide means to maintain and provide constantly depth of water sufficient for large vessels, and the cities of Chung King-Foo, Ou-Choo-Foo, Soo- Choo.Foo, Hang-Chu-Foo and others, to be hereafter agreed upon, must be opened up for foreign commerce.

And Was Different In One Respect From
 the Other Women Present.
 It was dull morning at the boarding house. The men had gone, and the mar riod ladies had drifted as usual, to the third floor, back, for their matutinal meal of gossip. As usual also tho chiei topics were ths shortcomings of the land lady and the absolute idiocy of their re spective husbands as illustrated by "tht latest" in each instance.
 Mrs. W. really seemed to have griev. ance-that is, if her tale were mortised to facts, which her tales seldom were. She exclaimed at the end of her narration, s'Well, never did know why married MT. w., and the mystery deepens every year live"
 Then the other women felt called upon to belittle their own love stories, to ridi- cule courtship and marriage. Shrewd, sidelong glances seemed to indicate that much of the banter was suspected of being the truth.
 At last Mrs. D.. the popular hostess oi the third floor, back, said, Well, girls married for love, and got itl''
 There was a hush, and Mrs. D. saw a culver around the mouth of Mrs. F., who had married for love and hadn't got it. Yet Mrs. F. was the only woman in that room who had not ridiculed the man she had solemnly pledged ito honor. ."-New York Times.

THIS IS STRANGE.

GERMANY BECOME AN ALLY OF FRANCE.
 ANYTHING TO DOWN ENGLAND.
 BERLIN, April 6.-The dispute between France aud England regarding the upper Nile region is watched here with the keenest interest. Nothing since the Anglo Belgian agreement and the emperor's in- reference to frustrate it hss caused such general comment among the colonial en- thusiasts throughout the empire.
 The newspapers are almost unanimous in supporting France against the drag met claims put forth by Sir Edward Gray in the house of commons last week. The same tendency is apparent in official cir cles. Tbe sympathy of the Germany foreign officers undoubtedly is with France, partly on account of fresh dispute with England as to the claims of the British Africa com papY.
