wedding was solemnized at the home
of the brides mother, Mrs. H. F.

the bride, pastor of st. Pauls Luth-
eran church, Savannah, Ca, assisted
by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, pastor

in detail, extending to the ice courses
and confections.
The bride is the youngest daughter
of Mrs. H. F. Cline and the late Wal
lace A. Cline, and is one of Newber-
rvs most highly esteemed young
ladies. For several years she has

It is said that the Atlantic Coast

Marion is to have two new banks

Abbeville county is at a deadlock
on the question of rural policemen.
The law authorizes the governor to
appoint upon recommendation of the
sheriff, the supervisor and the two
sub-supervisors. The sheriff and the
supervisors favor the appointment;
the sub-supervisors don't. And so it
stands.
Commissioner E. J. Watson says
that samples drawn in II cities in
South Carolina from meal shipped
into this State "show the meal in a
majority of cases to be extremely
dangerous to man and BEAST" and
that lit is noteworthy that the worst
goods are being sold in localities
where pellagra is most prevalent.
Although there have been showers
from time to time in most sections
of Lexington, not in the history OF
the county has there been such a
water famine as there is at the pres
ent time. The rains that have fallen
seem to have had but little effect up
on the wells and water courses, and,
as a consequence, hundreds Of farm
ers are hauling water-some for
many miles-for their stock. The
streams through pastures, in many
instances, have dried completely up,
forcing the owners of cattle to water
their stock at the wells. But the
wells, too, are giving out, and they
have had to be dug deeper and even
this fails to bring water. Greeks that
have never before been known to go
dry have ceased to run, and ponds
are very low.

WHAT is A MAIDSTONE?
spartanburg Claims a Cure of Rabies
from Mad Cat.

spartanburg, Aug. 19.-Little Kate
Smith, who lives with her parents on
Allen street, was bitten by a cat yes
terday morning. The child suffered
such intense pain from the bite and
the wound became so infamed that
it was feared that the cat was either
mad or poisoned. The parents OF
the child were greatly distressed.
fearing that the child would develop
rabies.
Mr.. Smith learned Of a maidstone
in the possession of Flagman Bigger
staff at Forest street crossing, SO
he carried his little daughter to the
home of Mr.. Biggerstaff, where the
maidstone was applied. The stone
stuck to the wound for more than
two hours, drawing all the poison and
Inflammation from the wound. Mr..
and Mrs. Smith feel much relieved.
It is not known whether there is
any virtue in a maidstone or not,
but many people believe that if a
person is bitten by mad dog or
cat if a maidstone is applied in time
it will take all the poison from the
wound and there will never be any
danger of the person having hydro
phobia.
The maidstone owned by Mr.. Big
gerstaff came from North Carolina
and has been in his possession for
many years. The stone was found in
a deer that was killed in North Caro-
lima many years ago.

EXTRA SESSION CLOSES
THREE O'CLOCK DECIDED ON AS
HOUR OF ADJOURNMENT.
Cotton Bill Passed and will be Ve-
toed-Republicans Cry Gag
Rule.'

~ N<AS2S
session of congress will pass into his
tory at 3 o'clock tomorrow after
noon. The Democratic caucus of the
house, at a meeting tonight, agreed
to the Penrose resolution, which
passed the Senate, prescribing that
hour as the time of final adjourn
ment. This action, carried out
through a resolution passed by the
house at a session tonight, put into
effect an understanding reached in
the afternoon between party leaders
in both houses.
The resolution carried unanimously
in the house. It directed the ap-
pointment of three members of the
house to join with three members of
the senate to notify the president
that congress was ready to adjourn.
The committee appointed on the part
of the house consisted of Represen-
tatives Underwood, of Alabama; Dix
on, of Indiana, and Mann, of Illinois,
Republican leader of the house. The
senate will name it's committee to-
morrow.
Cotton Bill Awaits Veto.
After a perfunctory debate for
four hours, the house late to-day
concurred, 1S0 to 1O7, to the senate's
amendment to the Underwood cot
ton tariff revision bill and sent the
measure to President Taft.
The bill, which will be vetoed to-
morrow, and which will be embraced
in renewed tariff revision legislation
next December, would have cut the
cotton tariff on an average Of FL per
cent. ad valorem and bore schedules,
tackled on by the senate, reducing
duties on iron and steel, cotton and
chemicals, and providing free admis-
sion of bituminous coal from the
Canadian border.
The vote was along strict party
lines, except that eight Republican
insurgents joined the Democrats.
Most of the insurgents who have
been voting with the majority on
tariff measures stood with the regu-
lars to-day, claiming that the senate
amendments had not been consider
ed by committee of either house.
Minority Charges Gag Rule"
The amended bill was considered
to-day under rule limiting debate
to four hours and barring amend
ments. The Democrats were accused
of returning to a gag rule" which
they vigorously denied.
The debate of the day was not con-
fined to the cotton bill. Messrs. I'm
derwood and Payne closed the discus
sion. Mr.. Underwood said the
amended bill was not just what the
majority wanted, but it was the best
that could be secured under the cir
cumstances. He said it was absurd
to expect the people to "wait on the
clerks and hirelings" of the presi-
dent.
A bill was passed extending, until
March, 1912, the Burton law govern
ing the diversion of the waters Of
Niagara Falls. Mr.. Mann raised the
question of no quorum, but Mr.. Un-
derwood moved to adjourn, which
carried at 11:55 p. m.
