Happy Marci' &c.

Marriage is always solemn con
tract and yet a wedding is always q
Joyous occasion, and the one about
which we are going t. write is DO
exception to the general rule.
Just as the up passenger. rolled up
to its little station at Dallentine's,
Rev. S. c. Ballentine, pronounced
Julius 3. Derrick and Anna J. Shealy
man and wife. The bride is t. e
daughter of the late Robert Shea!y
and the bridegroom is the son OF
Mr.. Jacob Derrick, once County
Commissioner Of this county.
Just at - o'clock Oh The 21st inst,
Miss Lizzie Riddle on the arm of Mr.
julius Eargle marched into the
spacious parlor, where a host Of
friends and relatives were awaiting
the bridal party. Then came Miss
Iva Hitler on the arm OF Mr.. Frank
Lever, following close behind was
Miss Minnie Riddle with Mr.. Willie
Buckley and following in the wake Of
this couple came Miss Maggie Ripp
with Mr.. Pat Shealy, and then came
the object OF the large gathering:
Miss Anna Shealy wearing a lovely
tan colored serge, trimmed in silk
and ribbon, on the arm of her future
husband, Mr. Bachman Derrick.
After the marriage ceremony was
concluded the patty was usheredinto
the dining room where q table
groaning with ali that man could
wish in the line of eatables meet
their gaze. Dutch Fork women have
always been noted for their skill in
preparing fine dinners and she did
not lose her reputation by the one
which was set for the friends and
relatives Of this happy young couple.
We have never seen the equal.
After dinner the crowd dwindled
away and just as the sun red with
glory sunk beneath the western hori-
zon, the festivities Of this delightful
occasion ended.
May peace, prosperity, happiness
and comfort attend this youthful
couple is the earnest wish Of,

We really do not think that two
dollars per day is an adequate com
pensation for the members Of consti-
tutional convention. We freely ad-
NIT that the Legislature did wrong
in fixing their pay at that figure,
yet we submit, as a matter of fact,
that the members of the convention
knew before they even accepted a
nomination and were elected, that
their salary was fixed By law at the
figures named, and hence they should
have declined nomination or ac-
eepted in good faith the salary
fixed. This talk about the loss Of
business is the merest twaddle
There was no law compelling them
to be delegate against then wishes.
They knew what would be their pay,
they had an idea as to the length Of
time they would be away from their
business and they could have cer-
tainly estimated their losses by reason
of their absence from their business,
and if their losses would be too great
they should have declined an election.
The whole business of the matter
is that they did wrong in
i ecreasing their pay and no amount
OF excuse will relieve the members
from censure. We are glad to be in.
formed that the delegates from this
county voted against the increase,
and viii take this occasion to say
that, with but few exceptions, they
voted on all important measures just
as we would have voted had we been
a member.

The agony is over; the convention
mas adjourned, and the members have
shaken the dust of Columbia from
their feet. Irby's ten days which
he prophesied would be the length
of the convention have dragged
their weary length along and many
other ten days have been added
thereto until months succeeded days,
and there is no telling how long the
convention would have remained in
session had it not been that Congress
is about to convene and there is more
money in that for some of the mem
bers than there is in the convention.

The limited States Supreme Court

The United States Supreme Court
has dismissed the case Of Mills vs.
Green on the ground Of want
of Jurisdiction. This is the ia
nous case brought by ole Lawrence
P. Mills, through his attorneys,
Messrs. Douglass & O'Bear, to
compel Green, the Supervisor
of Registration for Richland
county, to issue registration certl-
fcate to Mills, anG to test the constr
tutionality of the registration law.
The case was originally heard by
Judge Gof, who, in an opinion which
read as if it were written IN West
Virginia before the case was argued
in South Clrolina, and had more OF
the ring of a political stump speech
than deliverance upon q. constitu-
tional question, decided against the
State. The State appealed from this
opinion, and the case was heard by
Chief Justice Fuller, and Judge
Hughes, or Seymour, or perhaps
both, and COTS opinion reversed
and his injunction dissolved, where
upon Mills appealed to 'he Supreme
Court with the result named above.
We have never doubted the f1al out
come of this case when the court Of
last resort passed upon it, and have
always contended that the plaintiff
had no case. as the law disfranchised
no one on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude, and
was not, therefore, in conflict with
the Federal constitution.

location of the county seat of the

those rampant advocates for the
formation of new counties.

To properly fill its office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood
be pure. When it is in such a con
diEion, the body is almost certain to-
be healthy. A complaint at this
time is catarrh in some of its various
forms. A slight cold develops the
disease in the head. Droppings Of
corruption passing into the lungs
bring on consumption. The only
way to cure this disease is to purify
the blood. The most obstinate cases
of catarrh yield to the medicinal
powers Of Hoods Sarsaparilla as if
by magic, simply because it reaches
the seat Of the disease, and By puri
flying and vitalizing the blood, re
moves the cause. Not only does
Hoods Sarsaparilla do this but ii
gives renewed Yigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme. B.

GRAPE TRELLISING.

T. V. Munson, of Texas, has done
much for grape culture. His system
of trellising is a minor item of his
work, but a very important one. 1t
has been the subject of comparative
tests at the Oklahoma experiment sta
ton, and has proven so successful that
Professor Waugh unhesitatingly re-
commends it for general adoption. In
this system the posts stand six feet
out of the ground. At the top cross
piece, two feet long, is nailed, and at
each end of this a wire is run. A
third wire is run through the middles
Of the posts eight inches below these
two, so that the three wires set in a
sort of a broad V shape, nearly six
feet from the ground. This great
height is an essential feature of the
system and should not be modified. On
this trellis the grape vines spread out
like they do where they grow wild in
the woods. This furnishes shade
for the fruit. AT the same tine the
fruit is SO far above ground as to be
safe from the intense reflected rays of
the sun, which is apt to cause damage
in the hot summers of the arid region.

pRAuGHr OF FARM VEHICLES.

One of the experiment stations has
been giving attention to some tests on
draught of farm vehicles and imple-
ments which are specially interesting
to all agriculturists, and somewhat so
to the general reading public. The fol-
lowing are some of the conclusions:
On firm and smooth dirt roads, narrow
tires drew 12.7 per cent heavier than
wide tires; on sod 41.6 per cent heavier.
A load over the hind wheels of a
wagon drew 10 per cent easier than
when located over the forewheels. Old
machines in good order draw muck
easier than new ones. Whether
moving machine has the teeth pr
fectly sharpened or not made 81 per
cent difference in the draught. Walk
ing plows gave slightly less draugt
than sulky plows with rider. Trucks
or wheels under the end of a plow-
beam decrease the draught by about
IA per cent, besides making a more
uniform furrow. and being much cas-
Ter to handle. When the plowshare is
dull, the draught is increased by about
SO per cent over new and we'll.
sharpened one. On a plank road the
draught is one-fftieth of the load, and
one-seventh on ordinary dirt road.
Loose burrs and ill-fitting washers
increase draught. This, of course,
means when the adjustment is so loose
that the wheels wobble. Too tight
burrs interfere seriously with the
draught.-New York Ledger.

SHORT EuRROWs.

The apples that have been put away
for winter use should be re-sorted .
time or two now. and the verv finest
and soundest specimens wrapped in paper
and put away in small boxes for spring
use.
Upon many farms there are unsightlv
thickets and borders of scrubby bushes
and briars along the brooklets that NAV
be cleaned up this month and put in
shape to sow to grass or put in cult
walton another season. These low places
always give us the best returns in pas
ture during dry seasons when grass is
a very important item on account of its
shortness. This work of cleaning I'D the
unsightly places not only increases the
capacity of the farm to keep stock, but
adds greatly to the looks of things as
well as the selling value of any place.
If YOU have stiff, heavy sod that
YOU want to cultivate to corn next
season. it is advisable to turn it this
month, as late as you think the season
will admit. There are several reasons
why we like fall blowing of sod for
corn, you can pillow deeper than in spring,
1t relieves the rush of spring work, in
sects are destroyed and the land is
more easily cultivated all through the
season. We are also of the opinion that
fall plowed lands hold moisture ebetter
