Married last Thursday evening, by Rev.
James Mcdowell. at the residence Of the
brides mother, near Sammy Swamp, Mr..
w. Theodore LeSesne and Miss Cal!le Nc
Fa66en, daughter Of the LAKE Hon. Sgd
ey McFadden. The groom IS one Of Clar-
endon's most progressive young farmers.
He is the proprietor of Live Oak, one Of
the lest equipped plantations in this sec
ton of the State, first class business man
and he has host Of friends. The bride IS
a st-kingly handsome woman and accom-
pEshed. We extend to this well mated
couple our sincere congratulations
Loryea, the druggist, has full line of
carminitive and soothing syrup.
We are glad that steps have been taken
to repeal the seed cotton license law. In
our judgment the law is wrong in principle,
but as long as it is on the statute books We
believe in its enforcement. No citizen has q
right to violate o law simply because be
does not approve Of it. The best way to
wipe oct an obnoxious law is to enforce it
strictly. We believe man should be al
lowed to buy and sell whatever he sees 1T
so long as it does not injure the health or
morals Of the community IL which he lives.
The intention of the seed cotton act was 10
put stop to the little traps which dot the
country every fall, that encourages stealing
from the fields, but it does not have the
desired effect. The amount Of the license
fee is not sufficient to drive them out, and
II it were more, violations would be more
numerous The best thing that can posi-
bly, be done in the matter is to repeal the
license law, and if a man is caught buying
seed cotton at night he should be punished
severely.
Mr. Elisha Berry, of this place, says he
never had anything to do him so much
good and give such quick relief from rheu-
matsm as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He
was bothered greatly with shooting pains
from hip to knee until he used this lini-
ment, which affords prompt reief.-B. F.

A very sad occurrence happened last
Thursday afternoon near Silver, in which a
good white citizen vas the victim of an
aroused negro's fury. It is very difficult to
get the particulars and, after talking
with number of persons we obtained the
following statement, given to US as from a
negro who was an eye witness. Some days
ago negro by the Dame Of Sep Jones shut
up some hogs belonging to Mr.. Mcdonald
Greeu, but after considerable persuasion of
a neighbor he turned the hogs out Jones
wrote Green letter containing insulting
language, and on last Thursday while Mr..
Green was out looking after forest fire he
saw Jones in the woods seated upon log
with a gun across lis lap. Green ap-
preached Jones with a pitchfork in his
hand, and after telling Jones that he had
received his letter ard that it was imperti-
nent, Jones rose up and shot Green full in
the face and then ran, and is now at large.
Mr.. Green will lose his right eye and may
lose his life.
