Blessed is the man who, hav

I J rom givinj? wordy evidence of
? the fact.-GEORGE ELIOT.

Hon. John Temple Gravep^ edi
tor of the Atlanta Georgian, has
accepted the position of editor-iu
-chief of Hearst's great paper, the
New York American, at a palary
bf $ 10,000 per annum.
lp his address at the Tri-Coun
ty Fair in Batesburg last week,
Senator G. L. Toole, oF Aiken,
said: "Though I was elected on ? he
dispensary platform, I plaiuly see
bow my constituents and the peo
ple at large want prohibition,"
An exchange speaks of a cer
tain carnival company as "doing
a good business," in a certain
town. Yes,*that's the trouble. By
"their "good bupiness" carnival
companies paralyze the business
of the merchants, and go away
with barrels of money that will
never return again, leaving de
moralizations iii theirweke.
The Mills hotel, which was
erected at a cost of $1,500,000, has
just been completed io New York.
Notwithstanding this lavish ex
penditure of money and the ele
gance of its appointments, the
highest priced room in the hotel
is only 40cent8 per day. May this
not be called'the newspaper man/p
hotel?
State Superintendent ol Educa
tion Martin has again waxed
wroth- because Governor Ansel,
without consulting bini, appoint
ed Hay ne F. Rice, Esq., of Aiken,
to fill the vacancy on the state
board of. education which Hon.
J. C. Sheppard declined to fill.
The toan of Mr. Martin's letters to
the Governor prove the wisdom of
the latter's course in not consult
ing him as to those appointed.
An official, who is capablo of wri t
in| such^insulting letters to the
state's chief executive is incapa
ble of making a proper selection
of members for the state hoard of
education
There is" talk"of-a higher lax
y. that the Governor will, urge a
higher levy in his annual message'"
However, the taxpayers need losfc
no sleep over the^higher-levy ru
' mor, for the next legislature will
" be slow to increase the tuxes of
" tte "dear people." They will want
--to be able to state from the hust
ings next summer that they stood,
first, last, and always, for econo
my. ??and a reduction of taxes,
-rrathpr than for en,increased levy.
State Prohibition Probable.
It begins to look like the legis
- lature in January will enact a
state-wide prohibition law. The
1 agitation is OD in every part of
the slate, and it ie quite probable
that South Carolina will fall in
line with Georgia and other pro
hibition states. Hon. John G.
Richards, of Kershaw, a v.<ry able
young man and one of the strong
est state dispensary, advocates in
the last legislature, was inter
viewed while in Columbia a few
days ago and expressed himself
in part as follows:
"Yes, in my judgment, the
hand writing on the wall spells
prohibition-Stato prohibition.
The sentiment for prohibition has
' been steadily growing for the past
several years, not only in this
State but throughout the South
and West. It is my d?lib?r?t?
judgment that the people of this
State desire a prohibitory law,.
?nd that public sentiment is such
that it can and will be enforced
Believing Ibis, and being anxious
to aid in every way that I can to
promote the best interests of our
people, I shall certainly advocate
a prohibition law."
Satisfied With Present Rates.
While there is a disposition to
oppress railroads in other state?
by a considerable reduction of
s and by the enactment of
ingent laws, it is inter
note what Col. B. L.
no general kick, about tho rat??;
Of course there are always a num
ber of individual comulaints bern
and there and some changos may
be needed in the law, but while I
do not wish to be placed in that
position of seeming to dicta!? to
the legislature as to what it 6bail
do, still I do not hesitate to give
it as my individual opinion that
any radical legislation at' this
time would be a very unwise step."
Press Comment
You will not be missing it
much, Mr. Farmer, if you. will
utilize your available spar? laud
to sow small grain on this f.ill.
You will find it comps in mighty
handy sometime.-Kershaw Era.
To spite Governor Ansel, Su
perintendent -Martin isn't going
to run for superintendent of edu
cation any more. And so out of all
the big cards in the next political
campaign'only one joker will be
missing.-Columbia Record.
No farmer should hire another's
labor, contract or no contract, un
til the expiration of the present
year. All the farmer* are in the
same boat. What burts ona hurts
all and they should not add to
the burdmB of one another by in
terfering with each - other's
bands.-Orangeburg Times and
Democrat.
An irate fathpr, sixty-five yeare
old, spanked his daughter, aged
35. Whereopou the young woman
had herxfather arrested. Bui the
court ruled- that the father had a
perfect right to spank her so long
a3 she remained uuder bis roof.
Perhaps if that slipper had been
used more freely about thirty
years, sooner there would h-avv
been no need to uso it at Ibis late
day.-Union Times.
MAYS-KEMP
Beautiful Wedding at One of the
Most Elegant Country Homes
I in the County.
Seldom does the human eye
witness a more joyous occasion
or a more enchanting scene than
that presented at i.be elegant
cquutry heme of Mr. and Mrs.
Jobn M. Mays on Wednesday
weuing, October the 16th. In
response to invitations issued to
the marriage of their eldest
daughter, upwards of a hundred
relatives aud friends from far Mid
near gathered, to do honor to the
occasion, as well an to participate
in its festivities.
As the hour, eight o'clock sharp,
drew near for the plighting of
troths, the gueits with oue accord
h^baudoued- the long piazzas aud
fathered in the spacious hall and
large front parlor, whose beauty
were brightened by the V3ry taste
ful decorations, in order thaLthey
might hear the momentous little
words tbat sealed the fate of two
young lives. The climax was
reached when the handsome groom
Mr. John W. ^Kemp, entered the
appropriate\worde united the bap
py young hearts in the holy bonde )
if wedlock. After the invocation
of'heavens liebest blessiugs upon
them, relatives, and friends be
ste wed ^%ar ty ^congratulation and
affectionate - greetings upon Mr.
and Mrs. Kemp. Col. James T
Bacon presided at the piano, ren>
dering:in bis inimitable manner
Mendelssohn's wedding march.
Tangible and substantial evi
dence of the high esteem and lov
iog favor in which this happy
young couple are hold by a large
circle of friends was in evidence
in the rear parter. There spread
upon large tables were cbkia, cut
glass, silver, cutlery, pictures,
clocks, beautiful table linen, and
bric-a-brac galore Next to tbe
great variety and beauty of this
array of handsome presents, those
who viewed them were impressed
with their usefulness. The idea of
utility must have been uppormost
in the minds of those who be
stowed these valuable tokens. As
some one remarked: "All John
and Etbel will have to buy is a
stove."
The beautiful -iniplicity and
the cordial good-feliowsbip that
.permeated the very atmosphere
caused not a few to speak of how
this wedding reBombled those of
the good old times of long ag-).
And in nothing did the Mays
Kemp uuptials resemble the ante
bellum weddings more than in the
sumptuous Wedding supper. In the
spacious dining room tbe guests
were arranged about the beauti
fully decorated table from which
was Berved a supper that for ele
gance and richness could not be
Rurpassed. Besides the meat and
salad course> half dozen kinds of
rake, gelatine and cream, ard
fruits of every kind were served
in greatest abundance.
If tbe beauly and happiness and
good cheer that characterized their
wedding can be taken as an ear
nest of tbe future of tho bride and
a:room, their married life will be
arie of uninterrupted bliss. Even
the sutumnal-moon through its
soft, silvery b?ams seemed to
?mile upon this ideal wedding.

Slr. John. C. Morgan Sets Forth )he
Texas Situation as Requested
by the Farmers*. Union.'
Mr. Editor: By request of the
Farmers' Union of Edgcficld coun
ty I will give come dots on my re
emit trip to. Texas, with especial
reference to cotton crop, farmers'
union ajid outlook for sime.
We heard everywhere wo went
of the grand rally of the. fsrmers
and of their determination to
stand out for. the plane outlined
for the . farmers. And just here
brethren let nie say to you that ff
you could meet fac^ to face with
thefo men you would be'ir-vo os I
do, that they can b* relied on to
do it, for they ar** at very deter
mined and aleo an able seiof men. ,
financially and every ol nej wa?^
to stand out.. They ar? credited
with having enough money., in
bank to pay fifty dollars a bale for
every bale of cotton that will be
made in Texas tb is year. Breth
ren, let us be loyal to our Texas
brethren and stand firm with
them. Let us let them ?know that
they can depend on tbeir-Jitfle
grandparent; South Carolina, to
the last.
At every little railroad town the
farmers' ginnery and warehouse
was iu evidence, 'which says to
you, brethren, we mean business.
Since roy return I have letterF
from Texas saving that "our union
is standing firm and celling no
cotton," and also that the cotton
is turning out eveu lees than was
expect- d even a short whil? ago
and this information came from
sources that cannot be doubted.
Brethren, the plan of Texas to
get the farmers together was to
agitate, agitate, agitate. Let u? do
likewise and not give up if we
don't get all we w ?nt now. but
just let us. keep right on. for w?
believe our demands are right and
WlU FUC3eed.
I wont through many of the
heat cotton counties in Texas md
saw for myself that tho co ton
crop was poor. T saw farmers
from al1 parts of the state and the
report was the i?nmc everywhere
I hope to bav** in th? n^ar
future some, letters from Texas
farmers that I know will be
pib?Fhed giving us reliable in
formation on the situation now.
Brother farmers, both union
and non-union, let us stand to
gether, for united wn may stand
and divided wo must fall
I.hope you will pl<'a=e exons?
me for this poor write-up a* T
have b?en S'cV evjr si':Cl our
county union.

Mrs. Mark Toney Killed by a Train 1
The people of our_town were
greatly shocked Monday morning
by fie news that Mrs. Ma?"k Toney
had been killed and her son, Mr.
Spanu Toney, paiufully injured
by the north bound Southern
train. They were going to John
ston in a buggy, and while cross
ing the track near th?ir home were
?track by the eugine of an ap
proaching train. The horse and
rv were literallvtDmJLoj)iecfis^
was thrown upon an embankment,
receiving painful but not serious
wounds. They were both carried
to Johnston on the train. that
struck them, and medical atten
tion was giveu immediately, bu"
Mrs. Toney never legaiued con
scipusness, dying about noon. She
was buried in the Johnston ceme
tery yesterday afternoon beside
the grave of her^busbaud who
passed away last January.
The railroad runs through a
deep cut at the place where the ac
cident occurred, and being in a
top buggy, with the wiad blowing
in the opposite direction from
which the train was. going, Mr.
and Mrs. Toney did not bear the
noise made by the approaching
train, or the whistle that was
blown.
Mrs. Toney was greatly beloved
and honored far and near, being
noted for her z-?al and untir
ing efforts as a worker in'ber
church. At the time of her death
she was corresponding secretary
bf the Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the Columbia district of
the South Carolina Conference.
In her death, not only the mem
bers of the home circle and the
town of Johnston, but the entire
county has suffered a distinct' j.
loss. The devoted children, four
sons and two daughfers, who sur
vivo this good womau have a IF
priceless legacy in the itffluence
3f ber noble lifo that will live
after her.
The Advertiser extends deepest
sympathy in this hour of-great
iistress and bereavement. .
