Temperance in All Things.

Professor Wiley lays down the es-
sential principle that there must be
moderation in all things eatable during
the summer months, and if perfect
health is to be obtained under the try
ing conditions of the heated term
there must be absolute denial of alcO-
holic drinks and cold beverages of the
more harmless sort from the temper
ance standpoint, but equally danger
Gus in their effect upon the stomach.

BE Careful ofthe Demon"

"Any excessive use of alcoholic
drinks during the summer months
should be avoided" says Professor
Wiley This is especially important
for those who are exposed to the dt-
rect rays of the sun. Statistics show
that in cases of sunstroke the great
majority of the victims are addicted
to the use of liquor. This in itself
may not prove much. however, for the
ajority of the people seem to he ad-
dicted to the use of alcoholic drinks in
one form or another"

willie, Weds One of Sumter's Fairest
Women.

Wednesday afternoon at 80 O'Clock
Mr.. H. Kemper Covington, of Ben
nettsville, and Miss Marguerite Onena
Wells were quietly married at the resi-,
dence of the BRIDES parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. G. Wells, 1926 S. Main street,
this city, by the Rev. G. G. Brown,
D. D., in an impressive manner.
The happy couple stood beneath a
large horseshoe beautifully decorated,
and lighted with wax candles, sur
rounded by relatives, and few lnti-
mate friends.
The bride was beautifully attired in
a white satin gown, and white silk
ribbon, and carried lovely bouquet OF
flowers. Her little niece, Miss Ram
sey, acted as flower girl.
Mrs. Covington is very handsome
woman, and is popular wherever
known. She is member of the First
Baptist Church, and will be sadly
missed by her scores Of friends in
Sumter.
Mr.. Covington is one of the wealth
lest men in Marlboro county. His
magnificent plantation, "Kemper.
dale,'' three miles from Bennettsyille,
is one of the finest in the South, and
cannot be bought for 100000. He is
noted for his hospitality and generos-
ity. There is no more popular man
in Marlboro county, nor one who can
count any more friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Covington left on the
afternoon train for their home under
shower of rice and leving good
wishes.

his guests that the pleasure had all
been his, to which statement the

Friday night. The gin house contain
ed about two bales of seed cotton and
the cotton seed from Mr.. Stuckey's s
