Marriage of Two Popular Young
People of Smyrna.
Cnrrnsnnndanne Of the Yorkxille Ennuirer

SMYRNA, November 1.-THE Asso-
ciate Reformed church at this place,
was the scene last Wednesday after
noon, of an interesting social event, the
occasion being the marriage Of Miss
Mary E. Whiteside to Mr.. R. Jack
son Castles, both Of Smyrna. The
bride is a daughter of the late Rufus
NJ. Whiteside, and the groom is a son of
Prof. E. T. Castles, so widely known
on account of his standing as an edu-
Gator
The church was simply but taste
fully decorated with clinging vines,
ferns and chyrsanthemums. all in pret-
ty harmony with the occasion that was
to mark the happy union of two prom
ising young lives. There was large
crowd in attendance. the people hav-
ing begun to assemble some time be-
fore the appointed hour. The inspir-
ing strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, superbly rendered by Prof. +.
Warth, announced the approach of the
marriage party. which marched up the
aisle in perfect step with the music in
the following order: First the ushers,
Messrs. Brown Whiteside and John
Castles. Then the bridesmaids and
groomsmen, down opposite aisles
These were Miss Mamie Whiteside and

STATIsTIcIAN Neill publishes an es-
innate last week in which he puts the
probable American cotton crop this
year at 11,50O,000 bales. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Neill was supposed to
have been badly discredited on account
of his bad slip Of two years ago, the
figures just published have had a de-
pressing effect on the cotton market
both in Europe and in the United
States. Many Manchester spindles are
reported to have been stopped until
cotton prices go lower, and there is no
doubt Of the fact that the New York
market seems to have lost much Of the
bouyancy that has been characteris-
tic throughout the season up to the last
ten days. While the outlook for bet
ter prices in the immediate future does
not appear to be especially encourag-
ing, it is fair to say that the situation
is at least very uncertain.

A NEW York dispatch Of Monday tells
of the organization Of the wholesale tea
importers, jobbers and grocers, for the
purpose Of securing the repeal Of the
duty of 10 cents per pound on imported
teas. Being a luxury, rather than a
necessity, tea is a very proper subject
of taxation for revenue purposes, and
since the only beneficiary Of such pro-
lection as there is under the law, Is a
South Carolina tea farm, we are dispos-
ed to favor the maintainance Of the
present duty as it stands. Will our
esteemed contemporary, The News and
Courier, kindly remark?

the state. In some quarters, particu,
larly along the northern tier Of coun11
ties east Of York, the situation Is posi-
lively distressing. Lancaster county
has been hard hit and so has Kershaw,
Chesterfield, Darlington, and Claren-
don. Although trade Is not up to last
years average in Yorkville, according
to the reports Of the commercial men,
business is much better here In propor-
ton, than at many Of the more import
ant points.

The whole countryside turned out In
pursuit of the convicts and up to Sat-
urday afternoon, nine or ten had been
killed or captured. 1t was believed
that the entire crowd would be killed.
All of the convicts were desperate fell
lows, skilled in the use of horses and
guns, and it was not thought that
many Of them would be taken back to
prison alive.

The Presbyterian synod Of South
Carolina held Is first regular session In
Charleston last Saturday and organ
lied with DR.. James woodrow as mod
orator. The election Of DR.. James
Woodrow as moderator Is looked upon
as noteworthy event inasmuch as his
former trial for his belief in evolution
created such a stir in Presbyterian cir

Twenty-eight desperate convicts
made their escape from the Federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, last
Thursday. 1t was the result of a we'll
planned mutiny. A new prison is being
erected about two miles from the old
one. and some 300 convicts are being
employed on the work. During Thurs
day some convicts managed to get hold
of revolvers. They marched into the
Office of the superintendent and made
him and other officials go along with
them. Revolvers were held at the
heads of the officers and the guards
were given to understand that if they
fired the officers would be killed. In
this way the convicts succeeded in get
ting possession of a number of guns.
Notwithstanding the threats of the
convicts, one of the guards fired on the
crowd and killed a convict. The con-
victs killed the guard. After hard
work the main crowd of convicts man
aged to get through the wall and es-
capped to the country, the guards fir
ing on them from the watch towers.
Telephone wires had been cut and it
was quite awhile before the post could
be communicated with. Before help
could come, the 2S convicts were pretty
well scattered over the country. Some
onO or, r,onro chort form pOpN.irtc lonlin-
ed to join in the attempt to escape; but
they cheered their desperate fellow
convicts on. The escaping crowd stole
horses and vehicles from farmers and
started toward the Indian territory,
from which most Of them had come.
