A Beautiful Home Wedding. A beautiful marriage was solemn ized at the home of Mrs. Emmeline Cartledge on Jeter street Thursday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock, at which time Miss Addie Cartledge became the wife of Edgar Hance Crews. The ceremony was pei formed by the Rev. Arthur L. Gunter, the pas tor of the Methodist church. Some time before the arrival of the hour, friends began to gather at the home of Mr?. Cartledge, being received by Miss Jennie Pattison and Miss Lillian Smith. Favors in the form of heart-shaped cards upon which were painted a bride and groom in miniature were pinned upon each guest by these two young ladies. Delicious fruit punch was served on the front porch by Miss Ruth Lyon and Miss -Mattie Kemp. The parlor where the ceremony was performed was decorated for tbe occasion, the colors being white and green. The mantel was banked with forns and palms and just in front, \vhere the officiating minis ter stood, white "illle was divined from the walis and ceiling and from this roses and cupids were suspended The music was furnished for the occasion by Mrs. Mamie M. Tillman: who before th a appointed hour ar-1 rived, rendered several selections! upon the organ.

Many a of baffled host has rallied while the conquerors triumph ed. Our country has seemed before to be on the eve of a great prohibi tion victory, but if" enemies have ag:?i:i taken up the battle while its friends stopped to catch breath, and it lms been thrown back into the quagmire of defeat. We must learn the lesson, tiiat there should be no surcease of zeal till the bells ring in the final triumph. What can we do? We can think. Everybody with sense enough to count bis fingers must know that the liquor traffic is what Wesley said cf slavery, ''the sum of all vil lainies;" and there can be no real, lasting prosperity till it is driven from the land. It doesn't matter one pin whether the hero marries this heroine, or that one. It does matter the value of many souls, if by the temptation thrust upon a husband and father, his home is broken up, his children scattered, to grow up in vice and ignorance, and bis wife brought to an early grave. Let ns throw to the moles and bats the trumpery that has held our thought and give our sympathy to the actual suffering all about us, till there i* not one human being left to be wrecked by the curse of strong drink. Weean talk.Women do a small part of the world's talking. The hornet. of "hobbyisra" buzz, about their ears, if they happen to say a good thing twice. Better, a thousand times, [be called hobbyisb," and get rid of the awful damaging vice, than to wait till many more, per haps some of our very own, go down under the dark waves. We can read. If we read the righi thiner and let the "vaporings go, w? shall have something worth think ing and talking about. Then we can see others read every temperanci leaflet or book that comes into oui hands. It will be but little troubU to blue-pencil our Signals, calling attention*to important points, an?: send them where they can help some body. We can write. If every moderatt drinker were to get a line in even mail from some one who sees iii: danger, be and h is family might bi saved. I ?We can pray. Every time wi breathe out petitions into the ear ol Does Not Grow Old. The youngest person in Edgefield county for her aire is our very esti mate friend. Mrs. J. T. Ouzts, of Elmwood. The fourth Sunday in June it was the pleasure of the edi tor of The Advertiser to meet her at Mountain Creek church, eighteen miles i.orth of Edgefield. The first Sunday in July, last Sunday, we met Mrs. Ouzts at Philippi church, which is 12 miles east of Edgefield, attending theCounty Inter-Denomi national Sunday school convention. Mrs. Ouzts always finds pleasure in meeting with Christian people in their public gatherings. Delightful Birthday Party. Tuesday afternoon little Miss Is abelle Byrd, a daughter of Mr. and .Mrs. IV. A. Byrd, gave a birthday (party and invited a number of her little friends to enjoy the pleasures of the occasion with her. Much of tue time was very pleasantly spent in out-door games that are indulged in by children, and after they had grown weary with this from diver sion all of them were gathered on the fruin porch, where ice cream and cake were served. Many friends of the charming little hostess pre sented her with gifts that were si lent expressions of their friendship and affection. Progressive Luncheon in Honor of Bridal Party. A progressive luncheon was given by three of the bridesmaids of the Padgett-Cleveland wedding Tuesday evening in compliment to the mem bers of the bridal party, ;iu odd iii number. This luncheon was unique in that it was given not an one home but in three of the leading homes in Edgetie'.d, the hostesses being Misses Nell Jones, Helen Tillman and Mae Tompkins. The homes were visited in the order named. Soon after the rehearsal at the church Tuesday night all of the bridal party repaired lo the home of Miss Nell Jones where two courses of the luncheon vere served and after a very pleas: t hour they boarded cars i:::d went * the home of Miss Helen Tillman, where the next two courses of the luncheon were served. Here they lingered about the festive board for an hour and then returned to the cars to be driven to the home of the last hos tess of the evening, Miss Mae Tompkins, where the two last courses were served. Being enter tained in three of the leading homes in Edgefield in one evening was an experience that will be a source of pleasant memories for the future.

Railroa quiry or Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: < "Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the metters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition o? the railways be disposed ot by one or thc other of the following methods: 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, thc only tribunal which, by reason of ?ts accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi tion to consider and protect the rights an ti equities ot all thc interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals arc found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or. in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in thc premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose ot the questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). Leaders Refisse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the oiler of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other.body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence The TZ'a the railroads may charpe the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern ment board. Our of every dollar received by the railroad! from thc public nearly one-half is paid directly to t'.ie em ployes as wages; and the money to pay increased wages can conte f;u:n no other source than the rates paid by thc public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con trol over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would pro tect the interests of thc railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and thc public. A Question For the Public to Decide Thc '"lilroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy ts to be settled by an impartial Government inqtii?'y or by industrial warfare.
