8 80 o'clock at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. A.

An improvised altar of ferns, on
either side of which stood tall white
floor vases filled with jonquils and
fern sprays, was placed at the end
of the room, and a tall floor lamp
shaded in golden silk hangings stood
at the rear.
Rev. Guyton Fisher, pastor of First
Methodist church, stood before the
altar and received the vows which
united the young couple.
The bride entered alone, and was
very pretty in tailored model of
midnight blue Poiret twill, with
trimmings of silk braid, and a vest

AT CONSERVATORY.

Miss Melva Clark, who is complet-
ing her studies at the Conservatory
of Music in Cincinnati, and who is
treasurer of the S. A. D. Sorority,

fed with one of the most brilliant
recent d;nner-dances ever given in

ira which delighted the guests at the
ball. She also assisted in selecting
the favors which were given the
young ladies, these being silver pic
ture frames, while the young men
were accorded silver match boxes Of
smart design. Miss Clark planned the
details of the dining room, together
with the other members of the soro-
rites, and sextet tables encircled the
grand ball room at which the guests
were served dainty repast between
dances.
Detailing the happy spirit of Mardi
Gras, bright ribbon streamers girdled
the long room, combined with wreaths
and garlands of fragrant flowers
which produced an effect en- carni-
val which was the happy suggestion
of Miss Clark. A musical program
was given by the seniors of the con-
servatory in which Miss Clark was

HARDING WANTS TO
AID FARMER FIRST

Washington, March 19.-President
Harding and his cabinet spent two
hours discussing foreign affairs, the
plight of farmers and the transporta-
ton situation. No decision were reach
ed, so far as could be learned.
The President was understood, how
cvc-, 20 have expressed the opinion
that the time had no. yet come to
frame definite program in regard to
European affairs He expects to hold
further conferences on the subject
with senators and representatives be-
fore coming to any definite decision.
The agricultural situation occupied
most of the time of President and his
advisers and Mr.. Harding is said to
have expressed reluctance to embar-
go by Presidential order importations
Of farm products as urged by some
congressional leaders.
The President made it clear, how
ever, that something must be done
,ither by EMBRACE or emergency leg
islation to rescue agricultural mar
lets from their present stagnation
and it is understood to have been de-
cided in a general way that anti
dumping legislation must be consid'
cred first at the special session of con,
gress which begins April II.

leak and retires with his retinue.
Then in reverse order the Locomotive
Carpenter and his "helper" and the
Sheet Metal Worker and his helper
go back over the job.
So here are six men employed to
do the work which two men could
have done in probably half the time.
And this case is only typical, of the
the entire system by which the work
of operating the railroads is now
done. Under such conditions, is it any
wonder that with freight and passen-
ger rates at so high a level that traffic
is moribund, the railroads are rush
ing head-on towards bankruptcy?
The Pennsylvania Railroad had
$4,000 idle freight cars on its side
tracks at the end of January. Later
returns are not yet in, but Mr.. Lee
affirms that they will show a still
larger number of cars standing emp
ty with no freight for them to carry.
The high freight rates have struck a
deadly blow at the very profitable
short-haul business. The auto-trucks
..re getting it. At the end of January
the total Of idle freight cars on all
the roads was conservatively estimat-
ed at 100000, and the number has
been steadily increasing ever since.
And, worst of all, thousands of
men are out of employment who
might be busy to-day if the roads
were not crushed under the burden
of those wartime labor rules which
are killing their business and stimuli
taneously extending the blight to all
they wide ramifcations of industry
with which railroad transportation is
nterlocked.
Senator Cummins will press for a
Congressional investigation of the
entire railroad problem, presumably
with the intention of applying such
remedies as the critical situation de-
mands. This is all very well. But
while the Congressional investigation
is progressing, the roads will be 60
ing swiftly to smash. The only sane
hing for the salvation of both is for
employers and employees of the diff
ferent railroads to get together mean
while and formulate such a readjust-
ment of present impossible conditions
as will enable each to live.-Har
vey's Weekly.

A WORD OF APPROVAL.

Columbia, Mar. %, 1921.
Hon. VIM. P. Greene,
Abbeville, S. C.
Dear Mr.. Greene:
I have just read with great pleas
ure your editorials in the Press anc
Banner concerning the school situa
.tion at Abbeville court house.
In these busy times it is most re-
freshing to hear a voice like yours
Abbeville used to be called the Ath.
ems of South Carolina. If the program
you are supporting could be carried
out it would still have reason to lay
claim to this title.
Yours respectfully,

State Supt. Of Education.

ABOUT SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

A few days ago we carried news
item with regard to more and en-
larged buildings for the accommoda-
ton of pupils in the city schools.
Since that time the situation has been
canvassed, and it is found that the
school dist may issue bonds in suf-
ficient amount to do the work con-
templated by the trustees.
We would urge the trustees in
planning for these buildings to have
in mind the constant increase in the
number Of pupils attending our
schools. Buildings which will accom-
modate the pupils attending the
schools this year, in five years will be
entirely inadequate for the accom-
modation of the pupils then attending
Such has proved to be our experience
in the past, and such will be the ex-
perience of the future. We should
build such school buildings as will
take care of the attendance for the
next ten years at least.
There is another matter which the
trustees should consider, and that is
the kind of buildings to be erected.
When the present high school build
ing was erected the trustees made an
effort to build a forty thousand dol
lar building with twenty thousand
dollars. The result was what might
have been expected. We got what we
paid for. The building has answered
in way the purpose for which it was
erected, but>it has proved an expen-
.sive investment to the school district.
Every year some considerable amount
of money must be expended in order
to keep it habitable. We advocate
buildings which are so constructed
as to stand the uses for which they
are intended without having to go to
this yearly expense for repairs. We
need no "ginger-bread work" in
school buildings, but something
which is permanent. We may have
beauty without adding frills which
are a constant cause of expense.
1t will cost a little more to build
larger and better buildings just now
than to build inferior ones, but labor
is cheap now and materials are get
ting cheaper. We can with economy,
considering the future as we'll as the
present, build the right kind of struc-
lures. We will make a mistake to do
otherwise:

SOUTH WILL SOLVE THE
RACE PROBLEM HERE

Charlotte, N. c., March 21.-Dr.
R. R. Motion, principal of Tuskogee
institute, addressing an audience of
white people and negroes here today
predicted that the race problem is 60
ing to be worked out here in the
South, and that on the basis Of un-
derstanding, cooperation, sympathy
and good will.
Already a new spirit of good will
and sympathy between the races has
made its appearance, said the ne
gro leader.
"There may be some who believe
that the problem can be settled by
each of the two races working sep
arately and at cross purposes, but !
do not believe that it can he done
that way" said DR.. Motion, and add
ed:
1.-The South is studying Itself IN
the mirror of publice opinion. Espec-
tally is this true in the matter of
race relations. And a just ard salts
flying settlement Of this question is
not far distant when the South be-
gins to find fault with itself and cor
rect these faults according to its
findings. This self-criticisn is man.
ifested in the efforts for co-opera-
ton between the races and it has
given birth to new spirit of good
will and sympathy between them.
"There may be better way to
work out this problem than the one
which is founded on mutual trust,
confidence and good will between
the races, but I have not discovered
it,"

ORGANIZED WASTE

Addressing the Cleveland Chamber
of Commerce, Mr.. Elisha Lee, Vice
President of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, said that his company lost a
quarter of million dollars a day
during January, and he specified with
details one of the reasons why.
Under the Government imposed
labor rules still in force, it takes six
men to repair a locomotive boiler
leak, when two men formerly did the
same work without the slightest trou-
BILE. Under the sane working condi-
tions existing prior to the McAdood-
ling of the roads under Government
operation, when there was a trifling
leak in a boiler, couple of men went
to work and mended it. Now it invol-
yes a mobilization of three distinct
groups of labor forces, each one of
which is imperatively prohibited from
encroaching on the operations of the
other.
First, there comes representative
of the Ancient and Honorable Order
of Sheet-Metal Workers. In his suite
there is ''helper" whose stern du-
ties are to hand the Sheet Meta
Worker his tools.
Then come the forces of the Anal
gamated Locomotive Carpenters. II
their retinue, also, there is "help
err who in his turn hands the Loco
motive Carpenter his tools. Th
Sheet Metal Worker loosens tn
"jacket." The Locomotive Carpente
removes the Tagging" When tn
forces engaged in these operation
have accomplished their objective
and retired from the field, then en-
ters the Boiler-maker and his suit
of another "helper' to hand him hi
tools. The Boilermaker caulks tn
