The quarterly meeting of the Salem
held on Wednesday afternoon, in
Patrons Hall, .Friesburg, with a
large turnout of the farmers of
| present.
Prof. E B. Voorhees,, of the State Elk
pertinent Station, made an address on
"5aving Manure" in which he advocated
the spreading of the manure on the land
as fast as made; that if left in the yard a
large per centage of its value was lost
through burning or teaching. In a dairy,
he said, each cow would make about
twelve tons of manure a year, if it was all
carefully saved, both liquid and solid.
The value of this is about 500, if the
chemicals had to be bought at market
| value. He then told what each COW
takes from the farm where the milk is
sold. A COW will average about three
tons of milk a year, or 60, 900 pounds, the
manurial value in tons to the farm is
about So.
Lewis SchaibIe, of Shiloh, gave an ex-
cellent talk on the cultivation of pears,
beginning with the kind of soil best
adapted to their growth, which he said
was clay gravel, and then as to the va
rieties, saying that the Keifer was the
most profitable pear for cultivation.
Mrs. Phoebe Lawrence, of Friesbu rg,
read a paper on the care and production
of poultry that was full of helpful sug-
g%estions. She keeps about 100 pens and
realizes between $400 and $500 from
them. She spoke of the care that ought
to be given them and the best kind of
feed.

was shown that Mrs. Keyser spent fifty
one weeks there, for which she charged
$40 per week. Mr.. Plummer was put
on the stand in the defense and ad-
mitted that he was an occasional visitor
to the Sylvester residence, that he knew
that Mrs. Keyser was employed there as
a nurse. He also testified that he was
willing to allow her a compensation for
her labors, but that some of the heirs
objected and he SO notified her, and that
the objection to pay was not a voluntary
act of his own. The jury was out but a
few minutes. when it returned with a
verdict of 500 and interest, making a
total of $545 OF in favor of Mrs. Abigail
Keyser for her services.
Mrs. Wilson, one of the heirs, who
objected to the payment of these charges,
was represented by Lawyer s. R. Roberts,
of Camden. By courtesy Mr.. Roberts
was allowed to cross-examine the
witnesses and sum up the latter's case.
In doing this he made himself a rare
spectacle by attacking the witnesses,
who were some of the best people in the
county. Mr.. Acton in summing up his
case administered a merited rebuke for
this breach of courtesy.

OCTOBER WEDDING BELLS
THE MASSEY SKINNER NUPTIALS LAST
NIGHT.
Church of the Good Shepherd Filled to Over
flowing With Friends of the Popular
Young Couple.

The memory of the wedding of Miss
Nellie Skinner and Mr. Frank Massey
at the Church of the Good Shepherd
last evening comes back in these day
light hours as a rosy vision in the night
time. The crowded church, the soft
music, the brilliant lights, the pink
of rose and green of palm, the white
robed bridesmaids and white-veiled
bride-all so like a glimpse of another
world.
An exquisitely beautiful ceremony it
was in every respect. The church was
filled to the doors by s o'clock, though
the hour for the ceremony was 8, and
many who could not gain an entrance
were about the doors of the sacred edi-
fee aG
| The chancel of the church was hidden
away by masses of blooming flowers
and evergreens, and over this luxuriance
fell the brilliant light. The scene within
the church Immediately before and dur
ing the ceremony was indeed a lovely
lone.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
DR.. Pittinger, the rector, assisted by
Rev. DIR. Smedes, rector of st. Mary's,
and Rev. DR.. Weston, who baptized the
bride in early life.
Mr.. Alex Rhodes, as best man, ac-
companied the groom to the altar,
where he was met by his bride lean
Ing on the arm of her father, who
gave her away. The maid of honor was
Miss Mamie Skinner, the brides sister.
The brides maids were Miss Nellie Mas
sey, Miss Fannie Massey, Miss Mabel
Massey, Miss Katie Belvin, Miss Lula
Holden, Miss Lethe Hoskins, Miss Liz
zie Leigh Skinner and Miss Clara White
The groom's men were Mr.. John w.
Harden, Jr., Mr.. Frank r.. Ward, Mr..
John w. Ward, Mr. e. N. Spencer, Mr..
IC. M. Pritchett, Mr.. G. b. Williams,
Mr. j. ID. Turner, Mr.. j. Leigh Skinner.
The bride was becomingly attired in
white organdie with garniture of white
satin ribbons and carried a bouquet of
brides roses and maiden hair fern. The
brides maids were dressed in white taft
feta with white satin trimmings and
carried carnations.
The flower girls were little Misses
Lilly Skinner, Pauline Hill and Rosa
Skinner. They preceded the attendants
to the altar. Miss Alma Ashley presided
at the organ, and played the wedding
march, to the strains of which the bridal
party entered the church.
The bride is the daughter of Prof. B.
S. Skinner, of the North Carolina Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. She is
a young lady of most charming personal
ity and has been a favorite in the social
life of the city. Mr.. Massey is the son Of
Prof w. f. Massey, also of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. He is
a machinist and well and most favor
ably known here.
Both of these young people are most
highly esteemed, and Immediately after
the ceremony they were the recipients
OF many good wishes and congratula-
tpns. The. many handsome and useful
presents which they received attest their
popularity. 49,. l, rr a !,
