JOHNSTON LETTER.
Lewis-Landrum Wedding Bril-.
liant Social Event. Mr.. and
Mrs. Toney Celebrate
18th Anniversary.

A wedding of wide spread inter
est, because of the popularity OF
both the young people, was that OF
Miss Weinona Lewis and DR.. B. F.
Lsndrum, which took place on We'd
nesdsy, Nov. 14th, at high noon in
the Baptist church. Palms and
graceful ferns formed background
for the wedding party, which as ar
ranged during the service was a
lovely sight. Preceding the ar
rival, Mrs. NJ. E. Walker rendered
several musical selections, which
was a delight to all and greatly en-
joyed. As the quiet notes of Lohen-
grin's wedding march was sounded,
the ribbon girls, Misses Marie Lew
is and Bessie Ford Turner, in dain-
ty white, formed a pathway down
the aisle, with broad white satin
ribbons. The ushers, Messrs.
w. E. LaGrone, Cecil Seigler, Ben
jamin Lewis and Wilmot QUITS, aa
vsnced to the front and were fol
lowed by the maids, Misses Maude
Nickerson, Leila Attaway, Louelle
Norris and Lila May Oxner. The
bride entered with the maid of hon,
or, Miss Lille LaGrone, and was
met by the groom with his best
man, DR.. L. ]. Stellie, and the hap
py pair stood before DIR. w. S.

PARKSVILLE NEWS.

The thanks of the west-side fair
association are due to Clemson col
Iege for sending two experts to
Judge our stock and lecture upon
and Judge our farm products, viz:
Prof. t. F. Jackson and G. B. Had
don. Prof. Jackson, representing the
department of animal industry, ,judg-
ing the stock, passing upon their ex'
cellency on scientific grounds, and
his decisions were final, and the
awards were all satisfactory. Prof.
c. B. Hadden of the United States
government staff, working with
Clemson, doing chiefly work con,
nected with the boys contests, gave
most instructive lecture on corn
Judging, which will doubtless bear
fruit in the future, because of the
instruction to boys of tender age,
who are aspiring to become scien-
tific farmers.
Due credit should be given the
Red Hill and the Pine Grove brass
bands, owned and conducted by
colored people. The negro is born
musician, and we are glad to &C.
knowledge the interest in our fair
associations by these bands, as well
as to the good attendance from the
surrounding country of the colored
people.
If all our people were as patriotic
and as nearly all on the right side
Of everything lacking to the uplifl
of our people as our preachers, this
would be a better world. Just think
of it, four preachers on the fair
grounds, giving their presence, as
well as good counsel, viz: Revs. o.
N. Rountree, Earl Freeman, ]. 7.
Littlejohn and 7. H. Garrett.
Mr.. Pope N. Lott met few of
our people on Wednesday, the 18th,
just the day before our fair and
gave an instructive talk on the CO.
operative farm demonstration work
in which the general government is
engaged, Mr.. lott being its agent.

the world, every nation has received
the messengers of Jesus Christ. The
walls of China have crumbled, the
hardest nation to reach beneath the
sun, and the black continent Of
Africa has been explored and
opened by the missionary himself,
and by such men as Brown, Living
ston, Stanley, Baker and others.
1t took the civilization of Luther
and others to make the world ac-
cessible to the gospel. 1t fulflls the
sublimest prophecy ofmodern times
the promise of God that his son
should have the heather for his in
heritance and the uttermost parts of
the earth for his possession, and
even dark Ethiopia should stretch
forth her hands unto God.
1t is in obedience to the grandest
law of God ever enacted. Go ye
into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature" This is the
commission of Christ based upon
the Christians universal duty. Our
love has to be three hundred and
sixty degrees of tie earth in order
to be missionary and if it is not a
missionary it is nothing, yea it is
Rip Van Wrinkle and is dead
asleep. His promise is that when
the gospel has been preached as a
witness to all the nations then. the
end shall come.
The time is not far off, for the
mission is going rapidly everywhere,
and alas for the poor old Rip Van
Winkle. This issue of this period is
the grandest of the century, because
it involves the conversion of two
thirds of the population of the
earth. About one thousand millions
of human beings have not yet been
brought TO Christ even nominally,
much less spiritually. What stu
pendous work, how slow, how long
it has been reaching this point. How
impossible it has seemed.

Law Badly Needed.

What other states, even northern
states, have spurned, South Carolina
is welcoming into her borders. We
have reference to horse racing. So de-
moralizing have the race meets, and
the gambling incident thereto, proven
that many states now prohibit them by
the enactment of laws. In South Car
olina the cities can pass ordinances,
but the promoters of the races can de-
fy the municipal authorities by estab-
fishing the track beyond the city limits.
The legislature should pass law max
ing such gambling tests impossible.

WOULD FORBID LANDINGS

New York, Jan. 6.-The federal gov ernment has brought suit in the Unit ed States circuit court under the Sherman antitrust law against 13 of the principal transatlantic carriers, which are estimated to control 90 per cent of the steerage traffic, worth to them $55,000,000 a year. Twelve off cors of the defendant companies, all resident in America are named as O. defendants.
 These companies, the government charges, entered into an illegal con- tract February 5, 1908, at London, England, by which they constituted themselves the Atlantic conference, with power to apportion all traffic pro rata, impose heavy fines on mem- bers of the conference for violation of any of the articles of agreement, and wage competition against all lines outside the conference.
