Much Cause.

There is an old codger in Boston
who affects to despise college edu-
cation. He never had one; he's very
successful, and he doesn't see that a
university training could have made
him any more so. Therefore he
sneers at some OF the younger fell
lows who have had more education
al advantages.
The other day he was calling
down a college-bred subordinate.
If that's all your gilt-edged eddi-
cation has taught ye,' he growled,
"by gosh, young feller, Pm thank
full for my ignorance. p"
Sir" the young fellow answered,
bowing respectfully, "yop have
much to be thankful for. "-Boston

Wisdom of Law Shown.

A young white man called at the
office of Judge J. d. Allen several
days ago for the purpose of obtain
ing a marriage license. Upon ques-
tioning the groom-elect, Judge AL
len learned that the bride-to-be was
under age," and stated that before
he could issue a license it would be
necessary for her parents to give
their written consent to the mar
riage. The young man replied that
they opposed the match and for
that reason their consent could not
be obtained. The erstwhile happy
young man went away detected,
stating that he would try the old
folks" again.
Such cases as this afford practi-
cal illustration of the wisdom of the
marriage license law. Run away
marriages will not be so frequent as
in the past.

CLEMSON LETTER.
The Effect of Fall Flowing on
Cotton Anthracnose, Writ
ten by Professor
Barre.

Experiments conducted at the
South Carolina Experiment Station
during the past year show that
where cotton anthracnose occurs
fall plowing Els very essential. A
number of diseased cotton bolls
were collected last fall and buried
at various depths in the soil. These
bolls were dug up from time to
time during the winter and spring
and cultures were made from them
in order to determine how long the
! fungus which causes the disease
would live in such bolls. We found
that the fungus does not seem to
live in these bolls longer than the
middle of March. Many of these
bolls, when taken up and examined,
were found to contain quantities of
bacteria were also found
in some of them. These facts lead
us to believe that the ordinary agen-
cies of decomposition destroy the
anthracnose fungus when the bolls
in which the fungus is living, are
buried in moist soil.
At the same time that these bolls
were buried, a number of badly dis
eased stalks were pulled up and
carried out to the edge of the field
where they have been left unmo-
Tested since last fall. Diseased bolls
were taken from these stalks from
time to time and examined. The
fungus is still alive in the diseased
bolls on these stalks.
The cotton in the field from
which these bolls and stalks were
collected last season were very bad
ly diseased. The stalk chopper was
run over these stalks as soon as the
cotton had all been picked and the
land was turned about 10 inches
deep. 1t was then narrowed and
sown in crimson clover. The Glow
er was plowed under early in April
and the land was planted again in
the same variety of cotton that was
used last year. The seed for this
planting had been carefully select
ed from field where there was no
anthracnose. This season there
was no anthracnose at all in this
field.
These results, then, indicate that
fall plowing is going to be great
help in combating anthracnose.
The fact that the fungus is ssill
alive in stalks which were uot turn
ed under emphasizes the importance
of such plowing.
These are facts which it is well
to keep in mind while it is still
time for fal! blowing.

Mr.. Earl Fuller.
AS the bride and groom met be-

Mr.. Earl Fuller.
AS the bride and groom met be,
fore the rostrum, Col. Bailey placed
the hand of the bride in that of the
groom, signifying that the life and
fortune Of his beloved daughter
were henceforth committed to him.
As the bride and groom mounted
the rostrum, arm in arm, hand in
hand, heart in heart, to have paint
ed lovelier scene than that which
was now presented would have
baffed the old masters of the long
ago.
The venerable and honored grand
father of the bride, DR.. T. M. Bal
ley, before whom the troths were
plighted, entered from the pastors
study, being accompanied by DIR.
NJ. D. Jcffries, who invoked Heav-
ems blessings upon the occasion.
Standing upon the rostrum were
three distinct generations of the
Bailey family, DR.. Bailey, Mrs.
Grace Bailey Beacham and Mrs.
Lille May Bailey Fuller.
The bridal party marched from
the church in the reverse order to
''The Bridal Chorus from Lohen-
grin, repairing at once to the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute,
where brilliant reception was held.
In the large college dining room a
typical southern wedding supper
was served. Like the church the
large parlors, halls and dining room
of the college were tastefully decor
ated.
The charming bride never ap-
peared to better advantage than she
did on her wedding day. She was
clad in an exquisite gown of rich
white satin with real lace, her veil
caught with lilies of the valley. She
bore shower bouquet of brides
roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs.
Fuller is young woman of rare &C
complishments, who on account of
her charm of manner and graces of
character is beloved wherever she is
known. DR.. Fuller who only few
ago graduated in dentistry
is young man of sterling qualities.
The array of beautiful tokens in
linen, silver, cut glass and hand
painted china, indicated the univer-
sal popularity of the bride and
groom. Col. F. N. K. Bailey pre-
sented the bride with q handsome
new piano.
Early Wednesday evening Mr..
and Mrs. Fuller left by automobile
for Augusta, thence the next day
on wedding journey for two
weeks. After a fortnight they will
be at home to their friends at Nc
Cormick.

The first wedding of the autumn
nal season was held at the Bapti st
church Wednesday evening last at
$50 O'Clock when Miss Lille May
Bailey and DR.. Charles Calhoun
Fuller with clasped hands and
united hearts paid tribute to Hymen.
From every standpoint this happy
occasion was one OF the most beau
tiful of the kind ever held in Edge

The decorations in the church
were exquisitely beautiful in their
simplicity. Upon ground of white,
smilax and other evergreens were
gracefully festooned back of and
above the rostrum, forming back
ground of surprising lovelinessT for
the pink-clad BRIDESMAIDS who ar
ranged themselves in a v-shaped
group on reaching the rostrum. The
beauty of the scene was enhanced by
proiusion OF palms and ferns that
were arranged about the rostrum.
The large assemblage Of relatives
and friends were delightfully."- enter
tained until the bridal party arrived
by the pre-nuptial musical program,
each number of which was faultless-
ly rendered. The first number was
an organ selection by Mrs. Mamie
Tillman, ''Traumerei," by Schu-
mann. This was followed by vocal
solo, Because l love you," by Miss
Lula Tisdale. The next was vocal
duet, L live and love-" by Mrs.
James Lide Wilson, of Millen, Ca,
and Mrs. Walter E. Wilkins, of
Greenyille, aunts of the bride. The
closing number was Schubert's
"'Serenade" which was played on
the pipe organ by Mrs. Tillman.
The arrival of the bridal party
was announced by the sounding of
Mendelssohn's wedding march, the
church being entered in the follow
ing order: The ushers, Jouette Dav-
export of Augusta, DR.. John Black
of Williston, N. M. Jones and
Pro- ]. r. Eaizminge EdgeEsid

gowned in pink silk with point
d'esprit lace, bearing each profu-
sion of white chrysanthemums; next
to enter were the little flower girl,
Mary Lille Byrd, and the little ring
bearer, Louise Wilkins, who were
followed by the matron of honor,
an aunt of the bride, Mrs. Henry
Beacham of Spartanburg, who was
attired in pink liberty satin, bearing
bouquet of white carnations. The
maid of honor, Miss Thelma Bailey,
asister of the bride, next entered,
clad in pink messaline silk, carry
ing bouquet of pink carnations.
Then the bride and groom appeared,
the queenly bride entering the left
aisle on the arm of her father, Col.
F. N. K. Bailey, and the s..ong,
manly groom marched down the
right aisle with his elder brother,

Took His Advice.

Once upon time very cool man
called upon his physician and asked
him for medical advice.
"Take a tonic and dismiss from
YOUR mind all that tends to worry
you," said the physician.
Several months afterward the pa
tient received a bill from the physi-
clan asking him to remit three gum
cas-, and answered it thus:
''Dear Doctor have taken a
tonic and y our advice. Your bill
tends to worry me, so dismiss it
from my mind"

FORKS , TUESDAY JANUARY TO- 1911

tragedy Of last Saturday q week oc-
CURED, resulting In the death Of Miss
Grace Elosser and her fance, Charles
Twigg Of Keyser, w. Va, was today |
the center Of attraction. The story the
boy tells, and which both Chief of
Police Irwin and Assistant Chief Of
Police John j. Trieber- believe. and
have In measure verified, does not
yet show definitely who administered
the deadly poison. ....
Chief Irwin and Assistant Chief
Trieber have been working on the
case and today got q very clear state
ment from young Norris. who says he
ran up on the front steps and upon
looking In. the room he saw Miss
Grace Elosser and Charles Twigg
seated on the settee, leaning over:
that Twigg had glass resembling q
jelly glass in his hand, and that ip
Miss Elosser's hand was wine glass,
drained dry.
Harlan said he also saw a green
bottle. about the size Of q port bottle,
on the floor in front Of the settee, in
easy reach of the two on the settee.
He states that the glass was taken
from her hand and that Mr.. Elosser
carried Grace out Of the room and
sent his married daughter, Mrs. See,
after a physician.
The boy ,r>was very clear in his
statements a.he police. Chief Irwin
the scene. He that he was
daughter dssS ~ Of Mrs Mr. SdafSss sinfins
that Mr.. Elosser, who Often = was
worse, he hurried to the n>b 4ee,
going around by the rear enff> ice.
He said he found Miss Elosser on the
bed dead, but at the family's request
to do something, gave her a strych-
nine injection in the right arm, after
which Mr.. Elosser asked him to 60 to
what looked like sitting posture. He
felt the pulse and made other exami-
nations and pronounced the man dead.
DR.. Ford stated that the potassium
was taken in fluid form, that the rear
part of the victims throats shows the
effect Of the poison. The physician
said that the only bottles and glasses
he saw were the bottle Of ammonia
and the jelly glass brought in the
room when Mrs. Elosser tainted at
the door in the parlor.
All Evidence Gone. ''
He stated that all evidence Of the
manner in which the poison had been
taken by the two was missing when
he entered the room, which was at
least a half hour after it had been
taken, and some time after the dead
couple were found.
States Attorney David A. Robb does
not put much faith in the boys story.
He believes that the boy saw the am
monia bottle and the glasses ordered
in by the physician, and he is mixed
as to the persons he saw in the room.
He stated that Harlan told him Mr..
Elosser and another had Grace. be-
tween them walking out Of the room.
This, however. may be a slight mis-
take in the boys statement, as the
physicians did lead Miss May Eosser
from the room. !
The police have some Information
that they are not. giving to anyone
that is said to confirm the boys story
to a very considerable extent.

President Decides Concerning
Naval Officer Who Pledged
Support to England

Washington, Jan. 10.-President
Taft today decided that Commander
w. S. Sims, the United States naval
officer who. at a recent dinner given
in London by the mayor Of that city,
declared that If Great Britain ever
were seriously threatened, she could
depend on "every man, every dollar,
every drop of blood in this country" I"
should be publicly reprimanded.
"His offense has been SO conspicu-
ous." said the president in his letter
to Secretary of the Navy Meyer. de
recting the reprimand. that the ac-
tion of the department of reproving
1t should be equally so." The presi-
dent says that whenever an officer Of
the American navy is called upon in
q foreign country to speak in public,
SO that what he says will necessarily
be brought to the attention of the
people of other foreign countries, it
is his obvious duty to avoid inviduous
comparisons and to limit his speech
and his expressions of friendship for
the country whose. guest he is. to Ian
guage that will not indicate lack
of friendship toward other countries.

[0R|MER WAS
NOT ELECTED
Senator Crawford of South
Dakota Takes Strong Stand
Against Illinoisan

Washington, Jan. 10.-In an Ak
haustive and carefully prepared
speech Senator Coe l. Crawford Of
South Dakota today denounced the al
legged methods employed by the agents
of Senator VIM. Lorimer in the legis-
lature of Illinois and declared in his
conviction that Lorimer was not en-
titled to retain his seat in the upper
branch Of congress. More than the
usual interest attached to the speech
because Senator Crawford took a
stand directly opposite to that occu-
pied by his colleague, Senator Gam
BILE. In the face of Lorimer's repeat
ed protestations of innocence Senator
Crawford fatty charged that the lat
ter was cognizant of the questionable
practices of his Meutenants.
II regret to say" declared Senator
Crawford with emphasis, "but I am
personally convinced that Lorimer
knew enough about what was going
on at Springfield to put reasonably
prudent man upon inquiry. that Shurt-
lift and Browne were his political
agents and that he ratified their acts
and accepted the fruits of their cor
rupt practices of which he must, at
least, have had some knowledge, and
that he was not legally and duly elect
ed to seat in the senate of the Unit
ed States by the legislature Of Illi-
nois.'
Senator Crawford began by review
ing the testimony taken by the senate
subcommittee Of the committee on
privileges and elections, which was
instructed to inquire into the charges
against Lorimer. His study Of the
testimony, he said, had forced him
reluctantly to arrive at q conclusion
different from that Of the majority of
the committee.
The evidence, In his opinion, show
ed conclusively that the election of
Lorimer was the outcome Of care
fully laid plan. beginning with the
election Of Edward Shurtleff, whom
he described as "bitter enemy Of
Senator Hopkins, and political
henchman OF .Lorimer," to be speak
er Of the legislature, and Lee
Browne to be leader Of the minority.
Senator Crawford concluded by an
nouncing that he stood ready to vote
for q resolution to unseat Lorimer.

SENATE AGREES
Will Take Favorable Action on Popu.
lar Election of Members.


Washington. Jan. 1O.-At meeting
of the senate committee on the ju-
dietary, held late yesterday, a decision
was reached to report favorably the
subcommittee resolution authorizing
an amendment to the constitution to
provide for the election of United
States senator's by direct vote.
The debate In the committee turned
state or the federal government should
supervise the elections. The sub
committees provision directs "that
the times, place and manner of hold
ing elections shall be prescribed in
each state by the legislature there
Of"
Senators Depew and Nelson both
offered amendments giving congress
the power to regulate, but the south
ern senator's opposed these provisions
as most prejudicial to the interests of
their constituents, some of them going
SO far as to assert that the measure
would be more obnoxious than the
force bill of the early nineties, which
caused one of the most famous of the
senate fights.
The two amendments were similar,
but Mr.. Depew's went farther than
Mr.. Nelson's in the matter Of pre-
scribing the qualifications of electors.
Both were voted down 8 to 8. The
favorable votes were asst by Senators
Depew. Nelson and Dillingham;
Senator Rorrah, who favored the
subcommittee recommendation, will
submit the committees report as soon
as he can prepare a statement in it's
support.
While greatly encouraged over the
progress made, the advocates of the
change are by no means sanguine of
immediate success. There is strong
opposition in the senate and there
will be little difficulty in preventing
action during the present session.
The measure will die with this con-
gress, so that 1t seems probable that
1t will be necessary to travel the road
again next session. Never before has
a favorable report on similar meas
ure been received from the judiciary
committee.
