\ Mock Marriage.

THE most brilliant social event of
the season will take place at the
Mackey opera house Friday evening,
February 9th at eight O'Clock when
Miss Sarah Matilda Love Divine,
daughter of Mr.. Hiram Ephraim Do
little and of Mrs. Hannah Maria Do
little, will be led to the altar by a
popular young business man of our
town, Mr.. Abraham Alexander Long
"The ceremony will be performed
by the Rev. Harold Dingbats. The
public is cordially invited to attend
this wedding. Admission: children
15c; general admission 25 cents; re-
served seats 35 cents"
We clip the above which was car
ried as an ad from the Lancaster
County Citizen. Under the head OF
this announcement is a subhead
which reads, Brilliant, Humorous.
Social Event Friday" We are not
told whether the proceeds are for the
benefit of some church or not. This
lis immaterial Just to think that in
South Carolina among a Christian
people who reverence the Bible ana
by whom the marriage relation Is
held sacred 1t could be possible to
make mock of this blessed rela-
tionship. and that innocent children
should be used to carry out this ir-
reverent farce. Why not have mock
religious service OF some other kind
in order to make money? We won
der IL the pastors of the churches in
Lancaster and the thoughtful Chris
tian people will stand for this thing
without making vigorous protest.
Marriage Is a sacred institution and
lit Is blasphemous to make a mock OF
K 1t. We should fear that the wrath
of the Lord would be revealed against
us IL we should be party TO thing
of this kind. God pity the children
that are being used to play a part in
this kind o1a thingi

Every month adds another farmer
or two to our regular list OF job
printing patrons. The time is gone
forever when any old scrap of paper
and cheap envelope was good
enough for farmer to write his let
ter on. Today he demands regula-
tion size stationery, neatly printed
and his demands are just as rea-
sonable as those OF any business
house. Farming is a business-a big
business, and farm stationery, while
comparatively new, has come to
stay.

ments, where the men have accepted
commissions and have gone to the

South Carolina may not be as large
a State as Illinois, but !f you will go
to the border, where tho soldiers arc
on duty, you will find that the num-
ber and the service of those from
South Carolina will compare very
lfavorably with the soldiers from the
State of Illinois. l want to say to
the gentleman respecting the ap~
pointments, in so far as the Citadel
is concerned, that men from the
North recognize it as one of the
honor schools of this government

the country, and when learned that
these appointments were to be made
under regulations wrote to the
cSmmandant of that school and ask
ed him to give me the names of all
cf the graduates who were permitted
TO compete for it. l wrote a number
of letters, and the commandant wrote
them letters, and it is because of that
fact that they came here under the
regulations and stood the eXamina-
ton. If, forsooth, there are more
men from that small State of South
Carolina than from the State of IL
linois in this trying hour of our
country's need who apply to go to
the front to fight her battles and
protect her flag, it seems to me, if
were the gentleman representing that
State, 1 would not want to call at
tcntion to it. The position they
have sought, and to which they have
been appointed are not sinecures.
They are not swivel-chair positions.
not places where they can hang
around Washington and wear parade
uniforms. but these men have had
to go and serve where neither the
gentleman nor myself have ever
served, in places of danger, to pro-
tect the flag, and they have to go
wherever the Marine Corps is or
dered to GO. But surely, when these
young men are willing to devote their
lives to their country's needs and go
out and give this service, it i'll be-
comes so great a man as the gentle
man from Illinois to stand on this
floor and chide this government for

an article appearing in that esteemed
journal last Friday was so interesting
that we are passing part of it on ouI
readers.
Republican leader Mann hates the
South like a rattlesnake and he
seems to particularly cherish q
|grudge against South Carolina. He
thought he saw an opportunity few
days ago to vent some of his spleen
on this State and the delegation
from this State and took occasion to
deliver himself of the following:
"Mr. Chairman, one of the most
remarkable things 1 have ever seen
or heard of in connection with such
matters, under the gentleman
statement, is the list of officers Oh
citizens named for probationary
period of two years by the President
OF the United States. On January
10 last, the President sent in the
nomination of 10 citizens to be sec
oDd lieutenants in the Marine Corps
for the probationary period of two
years. Among those names find
the following:
Louis w. Whaley, of South Caro-
lima.
John N. Arthur of South Caro-
lima.
James F. Joffords, of South Caro-
lima.
