THE OLD SANTA FE TRAIL

Written for The Williams News, Stretching onward toward the sun Over prairie, hill and vale, Far beyond the Rocky Mountains Winds the old Santa Fe Trail. Oh, what thoughts and frontier
 memories
 Does that dreaming trail suggest Thoughts of travellers gone forever To the twilight realms of rest. Where are now the scouts and sol.
 diers,
 And those wagon-trains of care Those grim men and haggard
 women?
 And the echoes whisper---where! Oh, what tales of joys and sorrows Could that silent trail relate; Tales of loss, and wrecked ambitions Tales of hope, and love, and hate; Tales of hunger, thirst, and anguish Tales of skulking Indian braves, Tales of fear, and death, and dan
 ger,
 Tales of lonely prairie graves. Where are now that trails process.

TOBACCO CROP NOTES.
Farmers Advised to Build Barns Dur.
ing Observation-Disclosures of Seed
Indicates Large Acreage.

The Sumter Chamber Of Commerce
Is urging tobacco planters to take
advantage Of the leisure time during
the winter time To build their tobacco
barns. LATER on the farmers will be
SO busy with their preparations for
and cultivation - crops that they will
find barn building somewhat of a
strain on their time and labor
Another argument in favor of build
-ng tobacco barns during January is
that idle labor can be utilized to ad-
vantage.
There is much other work on the
farm that could be done to the ad-
vantage Of the farmer and which will
also provide work for many laborers
who have little or nothing to do, such
as ditching and draining, clearing
new ground. digging stumps. etc.
The demand for tobacco seed being
distributed free at the office of the
secretary of the Sumter Chamber of
Commerce is gratifying during the
first two days showing that in all
parts of Sumter County tobacco will
be planted and that the 1915 tobac-
co acreage will be very large.
Most Of the farmers will plant only
about four or five acres, although a
number are going into the tobacco
business on somewhat larger scale
fifteen, twenty, twenty-five and forty
acre plats being planted by some,
while one large farmer secured seed
for fifty acres.
Farmers from Lee and Clarendon
counties have also secured tobacco
seed pretty generally.

From The Daily Item, Jan. I.
The members Of the Holiday Eve

Year and in the New Year to the tune
of Tippcrary, fgurativcly speaking,
for this was the favorite music at

down by all Of the dancers and their
guests.
The dance was most enjoyable af-
fair from every view point. The hall
was in good condition and not too
crowded for dancing. the music was
enlivening and seemed to enthuse the
dancers and a general spirit of mer.
riment and good fellowship seemed
to pervade and prevail throughout
the whole evening from the time that
-o Va ANAASS'Ao S'a NSh up dI 1U o CLOCK
until the Home, Sweet Home" was
played just before 2 O'Clock in the
morning of the first day on 1915.
Tipperary was the popular tune at
the dance last night and not only did
the dancers find it a good one-tep. but
there were many who joined in the
singing of this popular marching air
of the English soldiers, while they
were dancing. Punch and other re-
freshments were served during the
evening and were much enjoyed.
Among the visitors at the ball were
Misses Vivian Mccullough, Darlington;
Pet Brunson, Orangeburg; Harriet
Saunders. Stateburg; Eliza McFarlane.

MARRIED AT STATEBURG,
Miss Jeanne Juliet Dargan Weds Jas.
G. La BOrde.

Miss Jeanne Juliet Darsan Weds Jas.
| c. La Bor1e.
Stateburg, Jan. "A marriage of
unsual interest took place at Mars
ton," the beautiful homo Of the Dar-
gans, In old historical Stateburg, on
Wednesday at high noon. when Miss
Jeanne juliet Dargan. daughter of
COL and Mrs. John j. Dargan, and
Mr.. James Carroll La Borde, of Co.
lumbia were married. Music was
furnished before and during the cere-
mony by the brides sisters, Miss
Elizabeth Dargan and Mesdames S.
Oliver Plowden and John s. Frierson.
The maid OF honor. Miss Wilhelmina
Dargan, wearing a beautiful morning
dress and carrying huge bouquet of
red carnations, preceded the bride,
who entered on the arm Of her father.
Her youthful beauty was enhanced by
n handsome travelling suit OF purple,
with hat. shoes and gloves 10 match.
and she carried brides rose $. Her only
ornament was an exquisite necklace,
a family heirloom. the gift of the
groom. She was met at the improvise0
altar by the groom and his best man,
Mr.. Pierre Favian La Borde.
After the ceremony, performed by
the Rev. VIM. H. Barnwell, a course
luncheon was served in the dining
room,( which was a bower of holly
and mistletoe. The couple left i'm
mediately after this for an extended
trip through Florida and cuba.
Not often has a union Of two OF
South CarOlina's old and well-known
families brought to mind matters Of
such special interest as did this. The
fact that a grandniece Of Chancellor
George w. Dargan married a cousin
of Chancellor James Parsons Carroll
and that Chancellor Carroll was chos-
en- to fill the vacancy In this Office oc-
casiOned by the death of Chancellor
Dargan, and the further fact that the
daughter Of historian married the
grandson Of historian, both of these
historians having particularized in
marked manner on matters Of interest
to South Carolina in their historical
writings. Besides, the bride is found
to be lineal descendant Of Col Sam
ucl Benton Cher, great-great-grand-
father), who ranked next to Francis
Marion in the band that was few,
but true and tried" In the Revolution
airy war, and that after the war Col.
Benton became the first member Of
congress from the Pea-Dee district
The bride is also closely related to
the Toombs family, of Georgia, en-
bracing that celebrated Southern
fire-eater," Gen. Robert Tooms, and
to the lnglis family, of this State,
having the distinction of furnishing
the member of the Secession Conven-
tiOn who introduced the OrdinanC @
which took the State Of South Carolina
out Of the Union.
So this Is truly q Southern couple
with love of South Carolina highly
specialized and "a love far brought
from out the storied past"
