Marriage of Miss Margaret
Cotfnran and Mr.. Julian D. Hol-
stein, Jr.

It has been suspected for some
time that Cupid had some plans in
Edgefeld concerning the lives of two
popular young people but their
friends did not know that consum-
nation of these plans would be real
lied so soon. We refer to the mar
riage of Miss Margaret Cothran and
Mr.. J. D. Holstein, Jr., which occur
red Tuesday afternoon in Aiken at
the residence of the officiating min
ister, Rev. Mr.. Henderson, pastor of
the Presbyterian churchof Aiken. To
many of their friends the marriage
was quite surprise. Mr.. Holstein
and Miss Cothran motored to Aiken,
being accompanied by Misses Ruth
and Grace Tompkins, Elizabeth
Smith, and Margaret May and Mr..
Perry Whatley. Immediately after
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Holstein
left for Florida to spend month,
The bride, who is beautiful and

in Edge6eld with her aunts, Mrs. Su-
san B. Hill and Mrs. W. G. Tompkins.

Banquet in Honor of MIR.
Everett.

Tuesday night the large, modern
ly appointed dining room of the Dix
lie Highway Hotel presented a lovely
scene. Nearly half hundred ladies
and gentlemen attended an elaborate
banquet given by the superintendent
of the several departments of the Ad-
olson Mills in compliment to Mr.,
Henry C. Everett, Jr., of Boston, the
treasurer of the company. Mr.. 7. A.
Hightower, the superintendent of the
mill. who acted as POSTMASTER call
ed upon Mr.. A. R. Sharp to invoke
divine blessings upon the occasion.
The bountiful menu was served in
courses and at the conclusion of each
course. Mr.. Hightower called on some
one to speak. Those who responded
were Mr.. A. S. Tompkins, Mr.. j. H.
Caughman of Columbia, of the South
ern Railroad, Mr.. ]. L. Minis and
Mr.. NJ. B. Tucker. At the conclusion
of the feast MIR. Everett, the guest
of honor, was called upon. After ex-
pressing his great pleasure in being
able to meet and mingle with those
connected with the Addison mills, he
referred to business conditions, the
depressed condition of cotton mills
along with all other lines of business.
Mr.. Everett explained why it had
been necessary to make two. reduc-
tions in the wage scale of the mill.
The mill is making hospital material
for the government which is used in
dressing wounds. During the war this
sold for SLAB per pound, while now
the price is 45 cents per pound. Mr..
Everett made a splendid impression
upon all who heard him. His open,
frank and very sincere manner in
spired confidence. The occasion was a
very pleasant as we'll as profitable
one, and all regretted when the time
for parting came. At the conclusion
all stood and Mr.. Sharpe dismissed
the very auspicious occasion with a
brief invocation.

Use Only Pure Seed.

Clemson College, March Ire
cent issues of the Weekly News
Notes stressed the Importance of
purebred seeds, particularly those of
our main crops, cotton and corn. AS
has been stated, only standard va
rieties of proven merit should be
used, avoiding the so-called "specials"
which have been handed down from
one generation to another with only
limited local improvement.
The object of seed improvement
is to acquire the best yield and quail
ty from least land at minimum cost
of production, suggests j. F. Carhery,
Extension agronomist. Pure bred
seeds occupy, no more land, require
no more fertilizer, or care, yet yield
larger and better returns.
Keeping seeds up to highest stand
ards requires field selection, identi-
fcation of plant and crop germina-
ton test, and application of good
judgment, each factor contributing
to success as a whole.
During the past few years, we
have been able to sell nearly every
thing which we produce and frequent
| ly there was little difference between
the price of high grade produce and
that of low grade. But we have reach
ed time now when quality is going
to be very important in marketing
what we raise. 1t Will pay to have
the best quality possible.

Edge6eld Music Club Has Dis
tinguished Visitors.

The Music Club was entertained
on Wednesday of last week at the
home of Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman,
when most delightful program was
given, Miss Arual Lebby of Sumter
and Mrs. N. G. Cooner of Columbia.
Miss Lebby has a remarkable lyric
soprano voice, and added to this is
her personal magnetism and dramatic
gifts. She is graduate of Coker Col
lege where she went to take the reg
ular literary course and piano. One
day as she was practicing or attend
ing to something in one of the music
rooms she was singing to herself, all
unconscious that she was expressing
herself in a gift that had not been
recognized. The teacher of voice,
Miss Rowland, passed the door and
overheard this spontaneous warbling
of one of natures masterpieces, the
human voice. She Immediately spoke
to Miss Lebby and urged her to cul-
tivate her unusual gift. This she be-
gan to do and studied voice while
she was at Coker under Miss Rowland
who now has private studio in Bos-
ton. Miss Lebby studied voice two
summers in Greenfield, Connecticut,
under a specialist of renown, and
the winter of 1920 in Boston study
ing voice. While there the beauties
of her voice were so recognized that
she sang in one of the most promi-
rent of the churches of that. city and
was part of the Boston Symphony
Concert during a part of the season.
Miss Lebby is a cousin of Misses
Minna and Annie Bee, and Mrs. r.
A. Marsh. She sang two selections
at the Baptist prayer meeting on
Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Cooner was also considered a
musical prodigy at Coker, where as
Miss Lizzie Calais she finished the mu-
sic for a degree in two years, after
wards teaching in the Batesburg High
School. She then met Mr. Cooner of
that family of musicians by nature
and a romance culminat-
ed. Mr.. and Mrs. Cooner now live in
Columbia.
Mrs. Cooner and Miss Lebby were
in the home of Mrs Till
man, and at tea with Me-. and Mrs.
j. L. Minis
At the Music, Club, Mr. and Mrs.
P. P. Blalock were made honorary
members. They had planned to have
the music club to meet with them, but
on account of the sad death of their
friend, Mr.. Dozier Lynch, they had
to defer this. The refreshments sery-
ed at Mrs. TiITman's home, were pro-
vided by Mr.. and Mrs. Blalock.
1t has been decided to offer musical
prizes for the pupils of Miss Fannie
Sheppard and Miss Margaret May.

HON. L. S. LIGHT ON THE REDUC-
TON OF THE RAILROAD WAGES

Reddick. Fla. Dec Z, 1921.
Editor Ocala Banner,
Ocala. Florida.
Dear Mr.. Harris -
Here are my reasons for saying
that the voluntary proposed reduc-
lions Of the railroad of 10 per cent is
good, very good. but not good enough.
The railroads increased their, rates
in 1918 Is per cent and in 1920 33 per
cent, SO says our state railroad com
mission. IS per cent increase in
rates and a reduction of but 10 per
gent is not enough.
In 1917 it cost the grower to ship
oranges by the box, all rail, from
Ocala to New York, SO cents; in 1920
It cost 1914 cents; a difference of
1914 cents box. Now the railroads
propose to make a cut of less than
10 per cent box (Other points of
shipment proportionately). On vege-
tables the rates in 1917, all rail. per
box from Ocala to New York, was AZ

Of 2713 cents per crate; raise of

issippi River and Pacific Ocean Of
from 25 to 33 per cent.
Here is another report of reduc-
ton of charges by the railroad: Iron
ore % per cent; sand Is per cent;
rock salt 20 per cent: export iron and
steel Is per cent: etc.
It seems to me that reduction of
but 10 per cent on $4,000 or more car
loads of fruit and vegetables shipped
out of this state is not enough when
the records prove that reductions on
other commodities have been made
ON a much larger scale.
Let's look at this subject from an
other angle. Let's compare increase
of railroad labor with freight in
crease; and railroad labor with farm
labor.
The records show that the average
railroad labor in 1915 was paid $4,000
per year, while in 1920 the pay was
$190S.OO, or an increase of 100 per
cent, while rates in the same time
were increased So per cent.
How can the railroads give us low
er rates if they must continue to pay
the railroad labor prices of this last
year.
The section hand in 1920 was paid
$11S2.00 per year while the average
pay of farm hands last year was
$511.SO. The section hand receives
more than two dollars to where the
farm hand receives one. Yet the farm
hand produces the food to feed the
section hand.
Surely if farm labor could and did
exist on a pay-of $511 80 per year, the
railroad labor can stand big cut on
the $19OS.0O per year wage.
The price of farm products on an
average is but per cent higher than
lin, 1913, the year farm labor was the
lowest for many years. While rail
road labor is about Is per cent higher
than a few years ago.
Before the railroads can give us
much lower rates railroad labor can,
will and must accept much larger cuts
than railroad reduction of freights.
Public sentiment is the strongest
factor in this United States, and if an
aroused public will insist and de-
mand that the consumer pay less for
his necessities both railroads and or
ganized labor will adjust themselves
to the changed conditions and business
all over the land will improve.
There can be no Improvement in
business affairs until the labor and
freight problem is rightly solved.
There are lots in this story untold.
Do you want to hear more if it?
Yours truly,
= L. S. LIGHT.
Yes give us more. We think the
public intensely interested.

GENERAL CONDITIONS IMPROVE

/ General business conditions in
America are improving there is no
doubt about it. Financial leaders,
and men prominent in business cir
cles who are careful and conservative
about what they say for publication,
are unanimous in their expression
that the lowest level of the depression
in America has been passed, that the
country is again on rising ground, and
that conditions as whole will con-
tinue to steadily improve.
/, The total number. of factory-hours
| in. America in 1922 will be much great
er than the hours OF operation of our
industrial plants this year Produc-
ton as a whole will show substan-
tial increase. More automobiles will
be made than were turned out this
year, showing in concrete way what
the motor world thinks of the situa-
ton. More money will be spent for
advertising than was spent this year;
this circumstance being especially sig
nificant as showing how the manufac-
turers of. nationally-used products
have sized up the situation. There will
be further equalization of wages and
prices, and some striking inequalities
that now yex the public will receive
attention. Most of the goods manu-
lfactured under high costs of produc-
ton have been consumed by the pub
| lie, and manufacturers as a whole will
price their wares in way more at
tractive to the people. 1t will be a
year of steady. substantial building,
as the. housing shortage in America
has not yet been relieved In the
South it will be year of increasing
diversification of crops, and, in the
opinion of numerous disinterested ex-
perts, a year in which the average of
cotton prices WILDE higher than the
average for this year.
In speaking of the general improve
ment of business conditions we are
not considering sections but the coun,.
TRY as whole. In some sections
there is activity far above the aver
age, and in others there is severe de-
preston. But the big forces. the fac
tors that exercise the greatest influ-
ence on the material prosperity of the
American people, are all..operating
in the right direction now; the broad
basis is being created for year not
rampantly prosperous, but reasonably
good and it is a basis so substantial
that we can build on Columbus,
