Whetsell-B Bennett.

A wedding of great interest to
Hendersonville people took place
yesterday afternoon at 6 80
O'Clock at the Methodist parsonage
when Miss Sara Whetsell, of St.
George, S. c., and Roy G. Bennett,
of this city were united in mar
riage, the Rev. W. F. Womble Off
ciating.
Miss Whetsell is a most charm
ing young lady and is known and
admired by number of friends
here, having spent two previous
seasons here. She is the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Whetsell,
The groom is well known here
as a young man of sterling worth
and high integrity, and is associa-
ted with his father, Mr.. Foster Ben
nett in the lumber firm of Rigby
Morrow Co.
Last month Mr.. Bennett enlisted
in the local company of Coast ar
tilery and as he will soon leave
with his comrades for active duty
the young couple decided to ad-
vance the date Of their marriage
and nullify the separation as far
as possible.
The wedding was very pretty
though quiet and simple, the only
guests being Miss Myrtle Bennett,
sister of the e~groom; Mr.. Durham
Whetsell, brother Of the bride, and
Mr., and Mrs. A. F. Barber. The
bride was dressed for travel in a
smart coat suit of mustard color
and looked very attractive. The
groom looked very happy as with
his bride he motored to the sta
ton where they took the Carolina
Special.
For the present Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennett will be at home to their
many friends at the groom's home
on 9Th avenue East but when Mr..
Bennett returns from the front
they will occupy the handsome
new residence now almost COM
plete on Hyman avenue.
The happy pair are followed by
the hearty good wishes of a host
of friends who wish for them ALL
that is best in life.

Great Lobby in Capitol.

Washington, July 12.-The
greatest lobby in the history Of
Washington is at work here today.
1t covers every lnie of industry
and its object is to sell war sup
plies to the government at the
highest price that can possibly be
secured by persuasion or exor-
tion.
Following the appeal of Presi-
dent Wilson to business men to ac-
cept fair profits and put aside
every selfish consideration and to
give their aid to the nation as
freely as those who go out to offer
their lives on the battlefield, dis
satisfaction with the lobby is
spreading through Congress. Dras-
ic action may follow.
It was pointed out that the Com
mittee Of National Defense, was
composed largely Of big business
who were buying large supplies
for themselves.
The expenditure Of war funds
threatens to become an issue in
the next Congressional and Presi-
Dental campaigns.
Senator Hardwick launched an
attack in the Senate against the
National Defense Council and adj
visory committee this afternoon.
"They are selling with the left
hand and buying with the right
hand it must cease he declared.
He further said he was shocked
and astonished at the members of
the council. His speech created
a sensation.
The controversy over steel
nrices will not delay government
war plans. At a conference be-
tween the steel men and the adj
officials today, the
steel magnates agreed to furnish
the governments all the material
needed, the price to be fixed after
the Federal trade commission has
investigated the cost of produc-
ton. In statement issued after
the conference, Secretary Baker
stated the steel men were assured
they would be given a profit COM
mensurate with the growing needs
of their industry.

about the unbecoming rowdyism and
a disgraceful sight to see some of the
little colored boys out upon the public
streets singing and dancing for the
little money that the public might
give them. There are three or four
little boys from the ages of 6 to IL
who go down town and get in front OF
the business houses and sing and
dance for money. They are drawing
large crowds. The better class of col
ored people should see that this is
stopped. This shameful sight humili-
ating the Negro race by our own peo-
pie may go on in the extreme south,
but for God sake stop it up north.
Parents, send your children to school,
teach them loftier and higher ideals
than to be monkey for everybody.
We must first respect ourselves.
Mothers, don't allow your boys to be-
come monkeys or niggers for a few
pennies. Mothers, have respect for
the honor and dignity of your race.
Some of our true white business men
won't allow those boys to come before
their stores and make fools of them
selves. Stop those children and stop
it at once.
