The Abbeville Tedium has alluded
to some of us as ''little dog cart edi-
tors" Now look here, boys, are we
going to stand that? Shall we allow
this pluttercratic editor who rides
around in eight wheel vehicles, this
bloated aristocrat, this lordling pub
Usher of a two dollar sheet, this domi-
neering fellow, with his steam yacht,
private coaches, balloons and other fly
ing machines to brag over.us and humil-
tato us because we can't travel saw in
an huGible way in two wheel gigs or by
the courtesy" Of the railroads? Shall
we rest under the imputations OF this
swelled creature OF the money power
who Wanting in his pomp and pride of
blue-bellied Refawm .tremendousness
and rolling in g Senatorial chariot de-
rides us and spurns us and tells us
"Begone you little two wheeled, "dog
cart editors," git out, I'll have none of
you!"

Quarterly Meeting convened at the
Methodist Church on last Monday:
quite an able sermon was preached by
the Presiding Elder, Rev. BOYD, he
also preached on Sunday night and ad-
ministered the Lords Supper. This
was the close of the Ecclesiastical year.
Wedding bells T. ringing now. Mr..
b. Fitz LanfOrd and Miss Lillian Par
sons, daughter Of Mr.. Henry Parsons,
were married in the Baptist Church at
Lanford on last Wednesday. The
Church was very beautifully decorated.
At five o'clock, p. m, the bride and
groom marched slowly up the aisle and
stood under an arch OF e~vergreens and
white chrysanthemums, while our be-
!oved Pastor, Rev. E. G.. Watson, per-
formed the solemn ceremony which
made the happy couple one for life.
After the marriage the bridal party
returned to the BRIDES home for refresh
ments and spcnta very pleasant even
ing. And oh such a supper! Only those
who were present can testify to what it
vas Next day they went to the home
of Capt. b. w. Lanford, father of the
groom where they also had dinner.
Some very lovely and costly presents
were OF exhibition.
Listen! Listen!! Cards are out for
the marriage of Mr.. G. w. Welborn,
our atfable depot agent, and Miss Ethel
Fleming, one of Lanford's most charm
ing young ladies', next Wednesday af-
ternoon.
Mast Thursday morning at O'Clock
the alarm of fire was given, and before
help could be rendered the barn and
stables of Mr.. Henry Parsons were en-
tirely consumed by the flames. He
lost all his provender. q portion of his
corn, two very fine mules and two
fine horses; another horse was some-
what burned, but we hope not serious.
No insurance, the loss Is very heavy
indeed. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. Mr.. Parsons has the SYM
patheof his many friends in this com
munity.
School will commence at this place
on next Monday morning. Win be
taught by Mr.. w. T.. Hunter, of Wa
terioo. We hope to have quite q flour

The Aiken Times rises to explain.

"THE LAURENS ADVERTISER draws
a wrong conclusion when he thinks we
oppose w. d.. Evans, for we consider
President Evans one of the braniest,
most conscientious men in public life.
THE ADVERTISER is a shrewd paper
but it can't force u fight between the
Zines and any Reformer."
THE ADVERTISER stands corrected.
Does The Times mean to declare that
w. d. Evans is it's favorite for Cover
nor among the Rsformers?

Some people will go to Augusta and
bring back as personal baggage enough
liquor for Christmas while some people
who can't afford a trip to Augusta will
continue to purchase at the dispensary
paying twice as much money for the

people who must stay at home must
also pay a heavy tax to support the dis.
