Mrs L. Boos of EffinGham. H., sew
enty-five years old. has completed saw
ing and shopping five cords of wood for
winter use. Enaided, she carried the
wood TO a shed and stored it. She IS
well-to-6o and not compelled to work.
1T is q sin for any one to be idle when
ttev can labor" she told reiatives who
demonstrated when she insisted on work
ing.
So says a correspondent Mrs. Boos is
!, nhi1osopher. We do not think that old
women are called upon to saw wood for
the family, but there is work OF one sort
or another for everybody tc Go, and en-
ployment is a means OF grace.

Secretary Wilson says in his report on
Agriculture that experiments with tea
culture in South Carolina continue with
favorable results; that a crop is being
produced which brings a profit OF from
$50 to $40 per acre to the growers, and he
thinks that the possibilities for tea grow
ing in the South are great. Is there any
thing that the South cannot grow?

We have time and again said iE these
columns that in our opinion the model
way of caring for convicts is on a State
farm. and we are pleased to note that the
Governor takes the same view. .T11
more I investigate the question: he says.
1.-THE more l am convinced that it would
be best for the State 10 sell the present
site OF the penitentiary and buy large
tract of land on which to erect buildings.
If for any cause the convicts could not
be kept at work in the shops here and
were forced to remain in idleness the con-
dition of affairs would be appalling. But
If the penitcntiary was located on a farm
of proper size, and the conVlcts were
thrown out of work in the prison, they
could at once he put TO profitable and
healthful employment on the farm We
believe that that is the model way OF
caring for the convicts of the State On
the farm they would be self-supporting
and would have plenty of healthful en-
ployrnent, while they would not be
brought into competition with free labor.
The Governor says that the conditional
pardon system has operated in q, most
satisfactory manner and that out OF some
thing like five hundred prisoners who
have hcen turned out on parole from the
pententiary and jails only three nave
been returned to the penitentiary and
only one thus released from jail has been
rearrestcd He speaks we'll of the
formatorv schools for eIl'ing boys and
thinks that they are TO be encouraged.
He takes occasion to review the history
of the lanentable double lynching III
Greenesville county on March %, 1900. and
tells the people that he did the best that
could be done under the circumstances.
He devotes a considerable portion of his
message TO the discussion of the affairs
of the STAG militia and pays a deserving
tribute TO the Virginia volunteers.
The Governor is a true son Of the soil,
! interests of the State is sensible and prac-
| teal
He calls the attention of the Lesisla-
| turc to the recommendation which he
! made TO the last Legislature on the sub
! iect of clecting United States Senators

PRETTY HOME WEDDING
Two of Wilmington's Popular Young
People, Mr.. James Sinclair and Miss
Henrietta Shepard, United in Mar

Yesterday evening at 6 o'clock Mr..
James Sinclair led to the altar Miss
Henrietta Shepard, the lovely and ac-
complished daughter of DIR. and Mrs.
]. c. Shepard and one Of Wilmington's
most attractive and popular young
ladies'.
The wedding took place at The resi-
dence of the brides parents, 2OS South
Fourth street, and it was a quiet home
affair owing to the recent death of Mr..
w. A. Riach, the groom's uncle. Only
the members of the family and a few
close friends of the couple were present.
The parlors and halls were beauti-
fully decorated with palms, ferns, bam-
boo, and chysanthemums. There was
a beautiful ~improvised altar in the par
lor and the couple stood beneath a
lovely arch of wild smilax and chrys-
anthemums.
Professor ALT. H. Yopp played the
wedding marches and previous to the
entry of the couple rendered a number
of beautiful compositions. When the
suspicious hour arrived he played the
bridal chorus from Lohengrin as the
bridal party entered the parlor. First

Master Shepard Bryan the little niece
and n phew of the bride. Master Bryan
bore the wedding ring on a trail of rib
bon and evergreen, and as the little
couple advanced to the altar they were
followed by the maid of honor, Miss
Mary Foy Shepard, the beautiful sister
of the bride. Then came the. bride
leaning on the arm of her father. while
the groom came in at a side entrance
accompanied by his best man, Mr.. j.
McRee Hatch. The couple met at the
altar and were made one according to
the pretty service of the Methodist
church, the Rev. John n. Cole, pastor Of
Grace church., officiating. When the
marriage had been pronounced, the
Mendelssohn wedding march was
grandly rendered while the relatives
and friends crowded around to extend
their Fluctuations.
The bride was attired in a stylish
travelling gown of green cloth and bore
an exquisite shower bouquet of bride
roses and ferns. The maid of honor
wore a becoming dress of crepe de
chene and carried a beautiful bouquet
of pink chysanthemums. Little Winl-
fred Shepard. as ribbon girl, was cutely
dressed in blue organdy and carried
pink carnations.
There was a rich display of numer-
Gus beautiful and costly presents, an
evidence of the high esteem in which
the couple is held by their friends. A
number of the presents came from
abroad, and notable among those SEN
by friends here was a handsome silver
service given by the young men of the
auditing department of the Atlantic
Coast Line.
Mr.. Sinclair holds the responsible po-
sition of travelling auditor of the At
lanl;c Coast Line and is a young mar
of many excellent qualities. He is eX-
ceedingly popular in Wilmington anc
elsewhere in this state.
Owing to the ~indisposition of tht
bride. the intended tour of the couple
was postponed. They will reside for tn
present at the home of the bride:
parents.

TAX ON EMIGRATION AGENTS
Question of Its Validity Before SUI

Messenger Bureau.

Raleigh, n. c., November D.
The supreme court today heard argu-
ment in a case involving the right Of
the state under the revenue act TO tax
emigration agents. The legislature in
1891 enacted a law. intended solely to
prevent the exodus of negroes from the
state. This imposed a tax OF $1,000 in
all the negro counties. "Peg-Leg"
Williams and the other workers unde
him left at once. The matter later
came up before the supreme court and
Chief Justice Shepherd delivered the
opinion, to the effect that the act was
not valid, as it did not apply uniform
ly to the whole state. and, further. be-
cause it was prohibitory and hence at
variance with the constitution. In 1899
the legislature repealed the act. This
year in the revenue act there is i'm
posed a tax of $25 on emigrant agents.
A man named Hunt was arrested at
Winston for not paying this tax. 1t is
his case which is now before the court.
He claims that the tax is in violation
