The small grain crops are lr "king very promising in some sections. It is reported that the peach crop will be short, but I think we will have a fair crop in this section. The measles are all around and about still. Some of the farmers are holding their cotton for a higher price, while others are selling at 11 cents. Bav. G. H.

Lexington shares interest with Columbia in the marriage of Mies Lucile Irene Wills, of Columbia, and Mr. Olin Charles Rogers, of Macon, Ga. The bride being a grand daughter of a Lexingtonian. The weddiog was very quiet, yet tery pretty, indeed. List Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock many friends gathered at the beautiful little church of the Associate Reformed Presbyterians, on Laurel Street, to witness the marriage. Graceful ferns, palms and lillies were attractively arranged around the altar. As the first notes of Mendelsbon's wed ding march, under the ekillful rendition of Miss Hattie Smitbdeal, were sounded, the doors of the vestibules were thrown open by four little boys of the church, while the UBhers advanced followed by the maid of honor, Miss Beulah Wills, sister of the bride. The bride entered with her father and was met at the altar by the groom with bis best man, Mr. W. P. Roof, Jr., of Lexington. The marriage ceremony as performed by the Rev. J. P. Knox was solemn, beautiful and impressive. The wedding party went directly from the church to the union station, where the happy couple, under a shower of congratulations and good wiehes, left for their future home in Macon, Ga. The bride wore a handsome eton fpAVPliniy nf rrmrrplftp Inms. downe with lovely hat of old rose braid, ribbon and roses. The maid of honor was attired m delicate green silk mull, with 6oft hat and girdle of the same lovely shade. Orange blossom boutonnieres worn by the bridegroom and ushers were grown by a lady of Columbia. The bride is the daughter of Mr. T. E. N. Wills, of Columbia, and grand-daughter of Mr. S. N. Hendrix, formerly of Lexington. The groom, Mr. 0. C Rogers, of Macon, Ga., is a young man of sterling qualities and promising business abilities. Thus Columbia again loses one of her fair daughters, while Macon wins a lovely and beautiful bride. Sunday School Convention.

Under the provisions of the Brice law numerous petitions were sent out last fall asking for an election on the dispensary. Thirty-seven of these petitions with an aggregate of 1,317 signatures were turned over to the Supervisor, and we hold his voucher for them, marked "correct." And we have good reason to believe that he holds two other petitions for which we have no voucher. Yet, no election has been ordered. There are times Id the history of progress when the right has to bide its time. Such j:I: i_ h uuuuiuuu aetjujb iu c^idu iu uui county today. Oar forefathers met such a time in their history and they quitted themselves like men. Shall we do lees todaj? Their motives were censured their petitions we e ignored and they were ridiculed. The provisions of the Brice law were not made for the primary nominating election. No election for the removal or establishing of dispensaries will stand the test of the courts, but that held in accordance with the Brice law. Let us then not be wrecked by going into the primary. The experience of the past tells us that majorities against whiskey in the primary election do not count. Very respectfully, Joab Edwards, Theo. A Quattlebaum, Committee. Two Negroes Lynched. Springfield, Mo., April 14 ?A mob of 5,000 persons tonight tore down the jail and took Horace Duncan and * ^ ? a _ 1 jj James uopeiana, negroes, nangeu them to . an electric tower in the centre of the public square and built a fire under the suspended men.
