COmeld-HOard.

On Tuesday afternoon at , o'clock pretty, though quiet home wedding, was solemnized at the residence of Mrs. R. H. Sparkman on East billiard street, when MT J. c. Hoard gave in marriage his daughter, Francis Eliza beth, to MT. Joseph Henry Coffield, of New York
 The ring ceremony was beautifully said by the brides pastor, Rev. E. F. J. Garrott. Her only attendant was a little neice, Frances Orrinder, ring bearer
 Owing to the recent death of the groom'S father, only the relatives wit messed the ceremony, immediately af. ter which the bride and groom were taken to the Rock Island depot by Dr. and Mrs J. o. Rush in their automo- bile, where the young lovers boarded the train for trip to Washington City and New York via Memphis and will be at home in Forrest City after August 10.
 Both bride and groom were reared in North Carolina, but Miss Hoard has made her home for over six years in this city with her aunt Mrs. R. II. Sparkman. The groom has lived in New York for over fifteen years. MT. J. $. Hoard, only brother of the bride from Tarboro, N. C., was here to be present at the marriage and to attend the oil mill superin. tendent's convention which met last week in Little Rock, and of which he is vice-president for his home state

To the Democratic Voters.

In its desperation the opposition in St. Francis county to Hon. Stephen Brundidge is endeavoring to play up. on the prejudices of the democratic voters by telling them that if Brun- didge is elected, he will not sign the commission of George P. Tayior, as treasurer of St. Francis county.
 This Is political subterfuge which IS utterly groundless and has no foundation in fact or in truth, upon which to stand. It is a campaign ca nard out of the whole cloth in which It Is hoped to make Taylor the goat to get votes for Hays. George Taylor is under no obligation to pull Hays chestnuts out of the fire, and here. by make this statement for the bene- flt of any who may be misled, that 1t makes no difference who or what man is elected governor of Arkansas on Saturday, George P. Taylor will receive his commission duly signed in accordance with the law.
 am ready to stand by this state. ment With whatever strength or DOW CT l may possess, and 1 also stand ready to explain my position to the satisfaction of any fair-minded mar who may care to discuss it with me
 The last word: it is far more proba ble that Hays, If elected, will refuse to commission George P. Taylor, fol the reason, Joe T. Robinson is sup posed to be supporting Hays and Rob inson is cousin, by marriage, to J H. Tipton and, having appointed hin as treasurer, might prevail upon Hay. to hold Tipton on the job.

ground. Every city, and town too
for that matter. should have Its
public playground of as ample pro-
portions as conditions will admit.
Probably every small town can
not provide a play ground on as ex-
tensive scale as the cities but
every town should have one or more
parks. An intelligent Young wo-
man of progressive ideas took the
initiative in the playground work
in Charleston. Will not some one
take up the matter of providing a
park in Edgefeld? No doubt the
owners of conveniently located lots
would consent for them to be used
for this purpose, temporarily at
least.

Called Meeting the Chamber of
Commerce.

A meeting of the Chamber oi
Commerce was held Friday night in
the court house to hear the report
of the committee which was sent
to Greenwood to confer with the
business men of that place with
reference to the proposed trolley
line. The committee was greatly
pleased with the attitude of the
Greenwood people and feel conf,
dent that they will give financial
assistance in building q road from
Augusta to Greenwood by way of
Edgefeld.
A committee Of FIVE, consisting
of J. VIM. Thurmond, chairman,
a. E. Padgett, J. G. Sheppard, O.
P. Bright and A. S. Tompkins, was
appointed to confer with certain
parties who it is believed can be In.
duced to undertake the construction
of road from Augusta to Green
wood by way of Edge6eld. An
other meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce will be called as suon as
that committee is ready to report.
At the meeting Friday night the
matter of the delay in the erection
of a new depot by the Southern
railroad was discussed. Mr.. Cal
houn introduced a resolution call
ing upon the president of the Cham
Der of Commerce and the town
council to communicate at once with
the railroad commission urging that
body to take such action as will
cause the Southern road to begin
the erection of a new depot at once.
Later: As to the depot situation,
Capt. O. p, Bright has received a
letter from the railroad commission
enclosing letter from the South
ern railway official who has the
construction of the depot in hand,
stating that the contract will be let
in few days and that actual work
will begin as soon as the material is
placed on the ground, which, ac-
cording to the letter from this
official, will be about the 18th or
18th Of October. In our opinion
this is an excusable delay. The
depot was burned the morning Of
the 4th of July and steps should
have been taken at once to replace
the building before the hesvy ship
ping season of the fall. The rush
of the cotton season will be practi-
cally over before the depot and cot
ton platform are completed. They
ought to be ready for use now.
The road should have exhausted
every means in order to have them
ready,

Letter From a Little School

Dear Mr.. Minis In as much as
vacation season is ending and the
children will soon be anchored in
their respective schools for another
term I would like to say this much
we hope the different schools will
contribute regularly to your columns
How our school in the past has
enjoyed The Advertiser, racing to
be the first to see what school had
a letter.
And oh the fun we had when one
o. our own schoolm ates would
write.
Let us come. together as one
school now, encourage each other
with our pleasant communications.
They help US in various ways.
Vacation was indeed pleasantly
spent with our school. Nearly all
our neighborhood girls went away on
trips, or enjoyed friends in their
homes. -
The visitors among us were: Mis-
ses Annie Mae McKie, from Clark s
Hill; Fannie Zimmerman, from
Greenwood; also Miss Maud Quat-
tlebaum, Misses Mildred and Mar
grette O'Neal from Augusta; Miss
Cornelia Anderson. from North Au-
gusta; Miss Georgia Mae Wates,
from Edge6eld. All left behind
them pleasant memories and a hap
py greeting on return.
Among others were Mr.. E. A.
Rodgers, Greenwood; Mr.. and Mrs.
Boles Zimmerman, McRae, Ca; DR..
Tom Zimmerman accompanied by
Mr.. J. B. Zimmerman, OF Laurens,
also Mr.. Kenrick Lamb and wife
from Brunswick, Ca, who made
many friends while here.
Mrs. Luther Zimmerman has re.
turned from Greenwood much i'm
proved in health.
MIR. and Mrs. T. w. Lamb made
a business trip to North Augusta
this week.
Master Frank Kenrick has return
ed from very pleasant visit to Au-
gusta, North Augusta, Sweetwater
and other places while away.
Our teacher Miss Scott from
Barnwell will not open her school
before the first part of October. We
regret to have our school open so
late
We're glad the Red Hill Sunbeam
won the banner, but we hope to get
it back sometime
| was sorry not to meet with Mrs.
Tiylman at Antioch and the differ

Feeling that my letter has grown
too long I will not write more now.

Public Play Grounds.

We like to see municipal author
tiles interested in other things than
the material upbuilding of COM
munity. 1t is we'll to encourage
the erection of skyscrapers. the
building of factories and railroads.
But these things should not be all.
These enterprises are of great i'm
portance if the community is to at
tain to any great degree of CONNER
cial prominence but they are not
the only things that should receive
attention If the community is to
broaden and develop along all lines.
The most valuable asset of any
community, urban or rural, is the
citizenship of thai community.
Then the making of strong, noble,
men and women should not be over
looked in the making of commu-
nifty. And those who build with
out having mind to this do not
build wisely. In this connection,
it is encouraging to see the author
tiles of the cities devoting time and
money to providing public parks
and public play grounds. This
kind of work has been done by
northern cities for long while but
the southern cities have just made a
beginning.
There can be found no more
pleasing sight in Columbia in the
afternoon than the public play
ground on Gervais stleet obliquely
across from the State House. There
the little folk of the city of all ages
and all classes congregate and regale
themselves in the 81 -hine and in
the open air. Many q them doubt.
less are from homes whose front
door is practically on the sidewalk

too congested to afford playground
of the most meagre dimensions. On
this vacant corner lot under the di
rection of q capable person employ.
ed by the city these little children
have their swings, basket ball, see
saws, and other pleasure giving de-
vices too numerous to mention
: Their little bodies are made strong
er and their social natures are de-
veloped under the most wholesome
influences. The city of Charleston
