Engagement Announced.

Mrs. Mamie Norris Tillman has an
nounced the engagement of her
daughter, Helen Poindexter, to Mr.
Preston Wright of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Their marriage will take place on the
3rd of November in the First Bap-
tist church. Because of the popu-
larity of the young bride elect, this
announcement has been the chief
topic of conversation in Edgefeld
during the past week. Not only is
Miss Helen, who is widely known for
her beauti and personal charms, uni
versally beloved here by the people
among whom she was reared but she
has admiring friends in all parts of
the State who will take the keenest
interest in her approaching nuptials.
Miss Helen was educated at Hollins
College, Virginia where she.was vo-
ted the most beautiful young lady in
the student body. She is descendant
of two of Edgefeld's oldest and most
honored families, and the only re-
gret expressed in connection with
her marriage is that she will in the
future make her home permanently
in Cincinnati, where Mr.. Wright, who
is recognized as a young man of ster-
ling character and superior worth,
has thoroughly established himself
in a lucrative business.

For several years the office of
game warden has been before the
public eye as a bone of contention.
There was constant friction between
Governor Manning and Game Ward
en- Richardson, and since that time
the Office has been more or less the
cause of strife and contention be-
tween opposing forces. Acting with
characteristic good judgment, Game
Warden Gibbes has resigned in or
der to leave the members of the next
general assembly unhampered in fill
ing this office. 1t is hoped that such
action on the part of Mr.. Gibbes will
open the way for satisfactory ad-
justment of the hitherto existing
differences.

Market Cotton Slowly.

Notwithstanding the very unsatis-
factory price, some cotton must be
sold. Too much money is owed by the
producers of cotton for them to ex-
pect to hold their entire crop for a
better price, but by marketing slow
ly conditions will likely improve. A
rush of cotton to market will depress
the price to such an extent t1at cost
of production in many instances will
mot be realized. Farmers who have
pressing obligations should sell suf-
.ficient cotton to meet such demands.
Those who can afford to do so should
hold their cotton off the market.
