somewhat waking up.
On Sunday afternoon, September
21st, Miss Lessie Mccormick was
married at her fathers home, Mr.. j. A
Mccormick, to Mr. Kistler Sandifer.
The attendants were as follows: Miss
Wilhelmina Folk and Mr.. Lennie
Hightower; Miss Ruth Cain and Mr..
Conner Smoak; Miss Blanche Crider
and Mr.. Glennie Hightower; and
Miss Jerolee Sandifer, sister to the
groom, and Mr.. Grayson Hix. Rev.
B. D. Bolen, of Bamberg, united the
couple in matrimony. The young
lady attendants and the bride were
gowned in cream cloth dresses, and
twas truly pretty marriage. Quite
a crowd was present, and many use
full presents were given the young
people. The bride is the youngest
daughter, and is loved among her
friends. The groom is the second
son of the late Henry Sandifer, and
is a farmer boy. We wish for this
youthful couple long life of happi-
ness and prosperity.
This cold wave is significant of the
autumnal equinox. The gales were
with us a week, and left us hunting
up heavier raimnent.
Hampton school is under the
supervision of Miss Kate Kornegay,
of North Carolina.
Quite a number of visitors were
in our midst to attend the McCor-
mick-Sandifer wedding. Among them
were: Misses Cain, McClendon, and
Keller, of Blackville; Maj. Joe Car
ter, of Colleton; and Mr.. Grayson
Hix, of Norway.
The peas, potatoes and cane were
helped some by the rains we've been
having, to say nothing of the people
and stock.
There is no sickness in our COM
munity, and we hope malarial trou-
bles will be foreign with us.
About two weeks ago Mr.. Sam
Goodwin, of this community; and
Miss Ellen Kinard, of st Johns,
were married. They started we'd

is still telling of more to follow.
Good wishes to all of them.
In the death of Rev. S. P. Chisolm
many have lost a good, true, and sim
cere friend, He was of the true type
of gentleman. Educated in the fif-
ties, and reared in home of the best
culture and refinement, he carried
those virtues wherever he went, and
was ever ready to impart any know
ledge to the young whenever he was
sought. The writer feels bettered in
many ways for the life and the many
kind words and gracious deeds re-
ceived from Mr.. Chisolm, and our
pen is too feeble to attempt to do
justice to such a character as his.
In his early manhood he was an ed
ucator, and many of the hest men of
the State today were his pupils. The
pulpits that he filled were many, and
all of his conversations loved their
pastor. His ambitions were never
tagging, and in his last years, when
his physical strength forbade an &C
tive life, he was ever ready and anx-
ious to bestow a loving act, especial
ly on those who were ready to imb bibe
knowledge. The writer, along with
his other young friends, feels that a
good, true, friend is gone anG his
was life worthy of example. To

Fifty women and girls are suffering

OF this number II is believed that at

that their bodies hardly resemble hui

bodies are terribly burned.
A rigid Investigation into the cause

ERIE AGREES TO
ARBITRATION
MediatOrs May Force Magnates
To Withdraw Eight Demands
on Employees

NEW YORK, July 23.-The only
problem the federal mediators in the
eastern railroad strike situation had
10 deal with today was the request
Of the conference OF railroad man
ayers that their eight demands on
the employees be arbitrated along
with the demand of the men FOR a
20 per cent increase in wages. The
statement from President Underwood,
of the Erie railroad, received by the
mediators, that his road would ac-
cept any award made under the New
lands act removed what would prob
ably have been the most serious OBJ
stacle to an early settlement of the
differences between the union men
and their employers.
The mediators today again took up
The question of the railroads with
drawing their eight demands which
have been made on the employees. IL
is generally believed that the rail
roads will consent to the withdrawal
Of these demands. but If not the medi-
ators will force them TO recede from
their position.

The purpose Of the defense was TO

however, sustained Shepherd in his
objection TO questions regarding the
work of the Burns men.
The fact that the prosecutor knew
what was being done by the detec-

presumption that he was acting only
