A quiet but very pretty marriage

Donalds, Wednesday afternoon at
S o'clock, when Miss Macie, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Sharpe
was given in marriage to Mr.. Oscar

near Hodges.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. G. Andrew Nickles, of Char
lesion, S. c., brother of the groom,
assisted by Rev. J. M. Dallas, pastor
of the bride and groom. The ring
ceremony was used and was very
impressive.
The lovely bride was unusually
attractive in a beautiful navy blue
coat suit with hat and other ac-
cessories to match. The groom wore
the conventional black. The parlor
was beautifully decorated with
holly for the occasion. The young
couple stood in front Of the mantel
which was artisticaHy banked with
holly and softly Illuminated with
wax tapers. They were unattended.
Only the immediate members Of the
two families were present at the
marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nickles are both
very popular and belong to two OF
our best families. They have the
sincere good wishes of their many
friends. They will be at home to

JUDGE n. A. M. SMITH
MAY RETIRE SOON

Washington, Dec. 16-South Caro-
linians visiting Washington bring the
report that H. A. M. Smith, federal
judge of the Eastern district of
South Carolina, contemplates an ear
ly retirement on account of age.
Should Judge Smith resign prior to
March 4, President Wilson would in
all probability nominate a Democrat
as his successor. While the nominee
would probably fail of confirmation,
there is little chance of Democrat
succeeding to the bench should Pres
ident-elect Harding be chief executive
on the date of the resignation.
In this connection, members of the
South Carolina delegation point out
the fact that the Republicans have
returned to power and aspiring DEM
ocrats might as we'll understand that
there is nothing in the cupboard for
them. 1t is said to be entirely prob
able, for instance, that President
elect Harding will be inaugurated
with W. R. Bradley, deputy, acting
as collector Of internal revenue in the
South Carolina district, vice Former
Gov. D. &. Hayward, resigned. While
one or more Democrats in South Car
olina have let it be known that they
would accept the office, the. under
standing is that the president will
not attempt to make an appointment.
Likewise, there is said to be no
chance of the senate confirming j.
William Thurmond, attorney for the
Western district, despite the with
drawal of opposition on the part of
Senator Dial. The senate is inclihed
to do nothing until Mr.. Harding yer-'
mits it to know his pleasure. 8
The South Carolina delegation in
congress expects J. Duncan Adams OF
Spartanburg, Republican, to be the
power in South Carolina in the mat
ter of naming federal officeholders.

CHARGE BY SMITH
AGAINST MILLS
Senator Discusses Profit in Cotton
Manufaeturing-ln Position To
Show Greater Profit Now
Than Before He Says

Washington, Dec 16.-Cotton mills
of the South and New England were
declared by Senator Smith, Democrat
South Carolina, in an address in the
senate today, to be in position to
make greater profits now with cot
ton selling at low price and with
their products cut 33 1-3 per cent.
than during the recent days of 40
cent cotton, when he said, the profits
of many mills amounted to 800 per
cent.
The South Carolina Senator charg-
ed that the mills had not reduced the
price of their products to cores.
pond with the drop in the price of
cotton, and also in many cases in the
wages of workers. The price Of raw
cotton, he said, had declined 200 per
cent. while the price received by the
mills for the finished products had
fallen only 33 per cent.
"Conditions in this country are
frightful," Senator Smith declared.
Senators come in here with fine
spun theories instead of trying to do
something to assist the farmers"
The senator urbraided those who,
he said, had declared "let the farmers
take their medicine in the form OF
falling prices" "Many millionaires
were made during the war, but not
one of them came from the farmers" "
he continued. "You stand here bag-
Cling about antitrust laws breaking
the hearts of the farmers when thou
sands are suffering"
Senator Smith declared there was
as much or more profteering today
Gin dollars as there had been a year
ago in commodities" although no
word Of criticism was heard. He
quoted Secretary Meredith to the ef-
feet that the farmers already had
lost over s5,0o0,O00,o0o this year
through shrinkage in the value Of
their products.

abstained from voting when the ad-
mission of Bulgaria was before the
assembly for decision.

of the incompleteness of the infor-
nation given it regarding Bulgaria's
fitness.
Thirty-fve states voted Affirmative
ly when the balloting took place and
Australia Joined France in not re
cording her vote.
The question of admitting Costa
Rica was next on the days agenda.
DR.. Nansen of Norway, explained
that the only doubt in his mind was
whether Costa Rica. as not too small
a country, but i'm view Of the mem.
bership Of issaneiehbor. Panama, be
decided Cosx2Rica1 could not be
excluded on That score.
Antonio Huneus Of Chile and Sen.
or Restrepo Of Colombia, asked that
the assembly vote unanimously in
admitting Costa Riea.
It was stated before the voting
took place that France had no OBJ
lection to Bulgaria in particular, but
would not vote because there was
some analogy between the cases OF
Bulgaria and Germany. 1t was as
serted the delegation desired to main
tain a consistent attitude on ques'
tions relative to qualifications Of
applicants for admission.
