Mr ICditok:
Some days Binco Gon. J. Walter Cray
Indited "a fow linos" to tho Columbia
Register, and among other inacouracls
ho was kind enough to cast a slur at
our Alliance mooting at Lisbon on tho
Brd hist. Please allow me to say that .
was a participant in that meeting, and
I have never seen greater unanimity
in any body ol* men gathered for tiny
purpose. Kvory township in Laurens
County (except Youngs) was repre
sented.
Tho resolutions adopted there? and
which seem to have given mortal of
fense in some quarters, mean just what
thoy say, and the men who adopted
thom mean to carry them out to the
cud.
Wo have been juggled with and ca
joled the last time by politicians, our
just demands have been spurned the
lust time. If tho Democratic party
fails to carry out at Chicago tho un
mistakable will of tho people, then
there's going to bo a smash up of that
party at the polls In November. In
conclusion, let mo suggest that Gon.
Cray will have all ho can do this year
to "tote his own skillet'" in his own

A Wedding in Cheraw.
Ciuk aw, S. O.. )
April 10, 1896. J
South Carolina is dotted all over with
cities and towns that are lovely and
there is none, no not one, more beauti
ful than this old town of Cheraw, with
its broad streets, grandly shaded, with
its picturesque and quaintly old-fash
ioned mansions and cottages sitting in
quiet repost. on a high plateau, the
foot of whose precipitous bluff is washed
by tho deep waters of the Great 1 Vi -
deo.
More than a hundred years ago, bo
fore the rough days of Tarlton's troop
ers and Cornwallis' red-coated men at
arms, the little Episcopalehurch of St.
David's was built.
Under a luxuriance of giant oaks and
elms just now bursting into leaf, in the
midst of its "God's Acre" where rest
tho officers of King's army and bold
woodland riders who followed Marion
and the Horrys, together with many a
noble South Carolina man and matron
of lato days and surrounded by tanglod
masses of vino and shrubbery, it still
nestles.
This little church at live o'clock this
afternoon was tho scene of an unpre
tentious but impressive marriage cere
mony which in closer tlos binds the
Pedee and the Piedmont?Judge Rich
ard C. Watts and Miss Lottlo Mclver
wore made man and wife. Tho interior
of tho church, attractively decorated
with fresh llowers, was crowded to
overflowing with tho good pooplo of
Cheraw, all of them personal frionds
of the brido and groom. It was not, in
tho parlanco of tho day what would
bo described as "a dress wedding," in
deed there were no formal Invitations
sont out, the gathering was simply a
testimonial by tho town's people of tho
sincore. regard in, which tho parties
wore held by them.
Entering tho church tho ushers, Mr.
Edward Mclver, tho brido's brother,
Mr. Thomas Harroll, Mr. L. H. Caston
and Mr. Honry Ilarrell, first took posi
tions at tho altar. Following thorn, to
the music of the wedding march,
played by Mrs. S. H. Godfrey, the
brido's aunt, camo tho bride on the
arm of her .other, Chief Justico Honry
Mclver, and attended by hor niece,
Miss Noll Hardln. They were mot at
tho altar by Judge Watts on tho arm
of his cousin, W. W. Ball, when the
marriage rite of the Episcopal sorvico,
uniting them, wasadministorod by tho
rector, Rev. Alfrod baker.
At half past flvo Judge and Mrs.
Watts took the train for a visit of a
fortnight to Northern cities and boforo
returning to Cheraw they will visit the
Judge's old homo and relatives in
Laurens.
Judgo Watts has become thoroughly
domosticated in Choraw and i? Oou> '
rally and cordially likodby tho people.
His wife is a lady of many attractions
and his numbers of good friends in
Laurens may justly congratulate
him.

In Memory of Little Ruth.
On the morning of March 1(5, 180G, lit
tle Ruth, tho only child of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Hudgens, fell asloep to awake in
the arms of Jesue.
Baby Ruth was a source of great hap
piness to her parents, and was loved by
all who knew her.
Though our little blossom was plucked
in babyhood, and though the mortal
form of our loved ono lies silent in the
tomb, yet we have tho sweet assurance
that sho is with the Redeemed in Heav
en, a perfect typo of Christ.
Could wo remove tho misty voil and
see our little darling happy In Imman
uel's love, and hear her sing Ilia praises,
would we wish her hack in this sinful
world to sutler as was her earthly lot.
Oh! what a blessed tio to bind US
closer to Heaven, where baby stands at
the Celestial gato beckoning with her
tiny hands to father and mother to come
up there where all is lovo, joy and happi
ness.
God grant, when it is thy will thnt wo
too shall put down this mortality and he
shrouded in grave clothes, that her lit
tle angelic form may come and pilot us
across tho River to be forovor at rest,
where parting comes no more.
"Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled
Now thy little lamb'b brief weeping.
Ah ! how peaceful, pale and mild
In its narrow bod 'tis sleeping,
And no sigh of anguish soro
Heaves that littlo bosom more."
"In this world of care and pain,
Lord ! thou wonldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny, heavenly plain
Thou dost now with joy recoive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with theo in light."
"Ah I Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where it lives may soon ho living,
And tho lovely pastures eoo
That its heavenly food are given:
Thon the gain of death wo prove,
Though thou tako what most we love."

When life's sun goes down and the
aged servants of God are gathered to
rest, we think of three score years and
ten of toil as we say "they aro better
off up yonder."
When one in life's prime is called
away leaving hopes half fulfilled and
tasks unfinished, from out our doubts
wo murmur Badly "perhaps it was
best."
But when a bright young life is cut
oil' in its morning human reason it si
lent-unable to explain. We can
not see how it is best but whore sight
endB faith begins und prolongs our
viow into tho great beyond. Borne
duy wo'U understand.
Could earthly oyes look through tho
gutes so lately ajar to admit tho spirit
of her whom wo speak -of as "gono"
would we not see in the angels chorus
a new harp and a singer who on earth
lived out, Miss Havergal's prayer,
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord to Thee,
Take my hands, and lot thom move
At tho impulse of Thy Love,
Take my voice and let me Bing
Always, only, for my King.
We will ral98 hor cheerful presonco,
but the light that has gono out of an
earthly home surely shines with its
beauty in her Master's crown.
Bereaved ones! look up through your
tears.

ARTESIAN WELLS.
What the Word Means?How They are
Made?Newberry Is well Pleased
Waterworks in Laurens.
An Artesian Well is ono sunk
into the earth until the internal
pressure is sufficient to force the
water out in a continuous stream
like a fountain. The name is de
rived from the town of Artois in
France where the first well was
bored. Trading with us is liko
digging a well?you dont have to
do it but once. After that you will
understand why it is that hundreds
of people give ns the endorsement
of their steady patronage. There
are many reasons for this fact, tho
principal one is that our prices aro
right. We dont claim that we can
save you money oo everything.
Some things have an established
value the world over. Nothing is
more certain than that no ono bouse
can always sell tho best goods at
prices lower than ovory ono else.
But there aro many things on
which wo are unquestionably the
lowest and if you will tako our en
tire line, up one side and down tho
other, averaging our prices, it al
ways boils down to that little net
difference of 5, 10, or perhaps 15
cents on the dollar which you save
from our economical way of doing
business. A small store but a largo
capacity for serving you acceptably.
In April and May tako Barsapariila.
Wo have all tho best kinds and
none of tho other kinds. We have
it at fifty cents, seventy-five cent-,
ninety cents, or one dollar. Wo
sell our own matte and that made
by others. Tako your choice but
remember "a little* Barsapariila
flavor, a smell of Barsapariila and
a sarsaparilla lablo on the bottle,
dont make tho kind that cures,
though it may make the kind that
sells" (to those who dont know any
better.) Tho ingredients of our
Sarsaparilla are open to tho knowl
edge of all. No secret nostrum
about it. There's lots of health,
energy and appetite bottled up in
it. Come in and talk the matter
over. Glad to see you whftther
you want to buy or only look. Tho
