Greeting to Bride and Groom.

Directing to Bride and o
The social event of the last week WAS the
cordial reception which the people gave to
the bride Of the Rev. w. B. Sans, who before
her marriage was Miss Hutson Of Aiken.
Invitations had been sent out by Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Hill aud, In response, a great
company of handsome men and pretty
women came to congratulate the groom
n 10 extend to both the bride and the
groom their hearty good wishes.
All our people know that Mr.. Sans is one
OF the best beloved ministers Of the gospel
that we ever had In Abbeville, and all are
delighted In bis good fortune in winning
the heart OF so lovely a bride. and they are
pleased on their own account to have 80
good a woman among them.
1t was with sincere regret that the people
of Abbeville learned that Mr.. Sans is soon
TO sever his connection, as pastor. with the
Episcopal Church; 1t was hoped that he
was getting In shape to settle here for life.
The evening was a pleasant one in every
respect, and alt were pleased to meet the
bride. Mr.. and Mrs. Hill with their usual
cordiaIity made every body feel at home.
Delightful refreshments OF ices, &C., pre-.
pared in Atlanta were served.

Very Appropriate To The Season.

There never were a better people
than the people of South Carolina.
They have had bitter enemies and
they have been occasionally much
maligned, but when it comes to the
highest grace of all the grace of low
ing kindness. they cannot be beaten
this side of heaven. Pardon my
partially for I really think so.
Now all this sweet talk has a pur-
pose, it is a prelude to a sugges-
ton to the people of this generous
state to set their generous hearts to
a task before the summer vacation
begins. And it is about to begin
just now.
Have you thought of your little
orphans brothers and sisters? There
ara two hundred of them in the
Presbyterian Orphanage at Clinton
~(Thornwell,) There are two hundred
core in the Baptist Orphanage at
Greenwood, connie MAXWELL. there
are nealy that many at the Metho-
dist Orphanage [Epworth] at Colum-
bia.
I know something of the copdition
of these UNCONVENTIONAL Homes, for
l have a standing welcome at all of
them, and who ought to know them
better THAI /. l know that at this
season of the year they are always
sorely pressed for the necessities of
life, and this little love letter to my
brethren of the different denomina-
tons is 10 suggest that each one of
you send at once, your check or a
barrel of flour, or rice or molasses or
even a sack of grits to the Orphan
age you love best June and July are
the best times to send just now.
Everybody with g. heart ought to
feel it a privilege to do it. At any of
these homes, a nickle will give a
child a good meal and five dollars
will board a child for a month.
There are six hundred of these chill
dren in your Church O%rphanage.
And that does not count the Epis-
copal and Catholic homes in
Charleston or the Charleston Or
phaD House supported by the
city or the colored Industrial Or
phanages in Charleston and Column

men Jenkins and Carroll, who de-

vandals Deceived at Mount vernsn.

On the posts Of one Of the old beds in
the mansion at Mount Vernon are small
glass knobs with sockets drilled into them,
which at little spikes, but do not fasten
Oh. 1t Is perfectly natural for visitors to
place their hands upon the knobs, and
those who do Immediately perceive that
they can be taken of. The next step is to
slip them quietly into the pocket and carry
them way as relics Of the sacred place.
Although an attendant is employed to
watch this room, there are SO many visit
ors that 1t is impossible for him to prevent
such pilfering, and the glass knobs have
to be replaced two or three times a week
during the busy season, but that costs very
little trouble and expense. A factory near
Pittsburg turns them out for 80 cents q
gross, and Mr.. Dodge is in the habit OF
ordering q barrel Of them every spring.
There are several thousand of these glass
knobs scattered over the world, in mu-
ssums and private collections Of mementos
and historical relics. Many more are
doubtless concealed for reasons Of consci.
ence and fear of discovery, but the guilty
persons need have no concern. The orig
iual knobs that belonged to the bed are
safely laid awayi In a ault.-Chicago Rec

All About Crops.

Gibson Record: Peaches are getting
plentiful in this territory-some-s say.
West Point News: Miss liberia Is
queen of the Southland at the present
writing.
Marietta Journal: The price Of cot
ton reaching 8 cents has induced q good
deal of 1t to Marietta market lately.
A farmer of long successful ex-
p~erience thinks that this Years
corn crop will be a short one unless
special care and cultivation are given
1t. He says that there is about one good
oat crop to five poor ones, and that Is a
sign that this will be, from beginning
to ending, q poor year for all grainicrops.
l-Barnwell People.
Statesboro News: Reports from all
over the country are to the effect that
the farmers are badly In the grass. The
$50 day club" seems to have its hands
full lift looks after all the grassy crops
in this section. In some sections the
farmers are giving adollar q day for cot
ton choppers.
Sylvania' Telephone: The peach
crop in Georgia will be the largest, 80 it
Is said, ever marketed In her history,
Several prominent fruit men are now
in Chicago looking over the costs charg-
ed by the refrigerator a men, and to
try to arrange to have plenty Of cars to
move the crop promptly.
Anderson Intelligencer From
nearly every section of the State we
hear a great deal of complaint in regard
to the scarcity of farm labor. The Ia
Dor situation in this immediate section
has become quite a puzzling one as
well as q very serious one; one which
seems to mean as much to the farmers
as the low price of cotton.
Gainesville News: It Is believed
there has been a 20 per cent reduction
in cotton acreage in Barlow county. A
careful canvass Is being made by the
| cotton association and the facts will be
gathered by the most reliable means.
That q considerable reduction has been
made is already apparent. The fellow
who sells his cotton now at Z IL cents
Is not wise.
Mccormick Messenger: Crops In vi
cinity of Mccormick are being rapidly
worked out, and one more week of fair
weather will see general green subdued.
Cotton acreage has been reduced about
Is per cent. Old corn is looking well,
but wheat and oats are failures; and
farmers contemplate planting corn to
make up the deficiency. From present
indications and if all the good resolu-
|tions are carried out, the farmers will
be in good fix even If cotton sells at
eight cents.
Waynesboro True citizen: IF dry
farming should be q success, which Is
extensively on trial now on some of the
arid lands of West, why should notour
farmers adopt it and prevent the posi-.
bility of a failure ofacrops on weather
conditions. The idea is that by a certain
kinds of deep blowing what moisture
goes into the soil by absorption or 9TH
erwise Is retained sufficiently to make
crops in spite Of the weather. It Is well
for our farmers to mote the experiments.
Success in some places has already been
attained.

COTTON MILL CASE
Hearing Before Judge Klush at"
Chambers. -

Lucas-Mulliken case was up before Judge
Klugh on Monday on q motion BY. the Plain.
tic. Mr.. Luccs, 10 strike ont certain sections
OF the answer Of the Defendant on the grounds
that they were irrelevant to the suit.
Messrs T. P. Cothran, w. R. Richie. George
tombstone, q. G. Featherstone n Augustine
7. Symthe appeared In ehalf Of the motion
and Messrs Stobo Simpson, r. Z. Carson and
- Todd appeared In opposition.
Incidentally the question Of the removal OF
the case TO the United States Court came up.
The defendants claimed that having taken
the necessary steps to remove the case TO the
Federal Court, the State Court had no further
Jurisdiction In the case and had no authority
to strike outany portion Of the answer.
The question OF the remova OF the case
was fully argued; end the Judge held in sub
stance, that the case being one between O
citizen OF this State on one side and 4.
residential OF the State together with the
Laurens' Cotton mill. a corporation Of this
State jointly on the other, the case was not
removable to the Federal Court and that the
State Court still had Jurisdiction. The mo-
ton to strike out was then argued fully upon
which the judge reserved bis decision.

The Breaking PloW.

I am the plow that turns the sod
That has lain for a thousand years
Where the prairie's wind-tossed flowers
nod
And the wolf her wild cub rears.
I come, and in my wake, like rain,
Is scattered the golden seed;
I change the leagues Of lonely plain
To fruitful gardens and field Of grain
For men and their hungry breed.
I greet the earth in it's rosy morn;
I am first to stir the soil.
I bring the glory Of wheat and corn
For the browning of those who toll.
I am civilizations seal and sign;
Yea, I am the mighty pen
That writes the sod with a pledge divine,
A promise to pay with bread n wine
For the sweat OF honest men.
I am the end of things that were
And the birth Of things to be;
My coming makes the earth to stir
With a new and strange decree.
After its slumbers, deep and long,
I waken the drowsy sod
And SOW my furrow with lifts Of song
To glad the heart Of the mighty throng
Slow feeling the way to God.
A thousand summers the prairie rose
Has gladdened the hermit bee;
A thousand winters the drifting SHOWS
Have whitened the grassy sea-
Before me curls the wavering smoke
Of the Indians smoldering fire;
Behind me rise-was 1t God who spoke?-
At the toll enchanted hammers stroke
The town and the glittering spire.
I give the soil to the one who does.
For the joy of him and his;
I rouse the slumbering world that was
To the diligent world that Is.
Oh, seer with vision that looks away
A thousand long years from now,
The marvellous nation your eyes survey
Was born Of the purpose that here today
Is guiding the breaking plow!

and won, thus getting back the cost Of the

Determined, however, to regain bis Q

GEMS IN VERSE
The Poets PRAYER.

A poet prayed aloud for power to sing
TO all mankind one sweet, soul thrilling
song
To bring forgetfulness of daily wrong
And swift surcease Of transient trials
bring.
Ger all the land his earnest prayer took
wing,
Soft echoing here and there amid the
throng
From heart to heart, as gently borne
along
AS breeze blown fragrance from the fow-
erS in spring,
And when the poet walked among his
kind,
Behold, they did great homage to his
name
Gave thanks for endless good his
words had wrought
And blessed the teachings Of q master
mind -
Nor knew he whence came luster to his
fame,
For, 10. his prayer had been the song
he sought!
