LOCAL NEWS. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 28, 1898. A Chrittaas Weddin];. Julius W. Qnattlebaum, Esq., of this ?ity, and Mi?? Sarah Smith, of Green ville, were married in the Fiist Baptist Church at Greenville last evening at ? o'clock abd was witnessed by aiarge congregation* many friends of the hap py couple attending from this city. The Greenville Sews gives the fol lowing account of the marriage : The bridal party entered the church through the side aisles, the attendants assembling in the nhape of a half moon on the pulpit platform and of course {acing the audience, the brief ceremony .of the Baptist Church being performed by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. C. S. Gard ner, at the head of the centro aisle. First came the six ushers-Robert L. McGee and George E. Jordan, Thos. J. Mauldin, of Anderson, and Benj. E. Geer, Benj. Sullivan, of Anderson, and Thoa. S. Maxwell-who assembled, three on each sido of the head of the centre aisle. The fest couple was Miss Etta Mc Gee, of this city, and Geo. W.Evans, bf Anderson, Miss McGee coming through the right aisle. They passed sn; front of the ushers and established the points.of the half moon. The re maining couples. alternated in choice i Of aisles, entering in the following or der: Miss Mary Elioe Mauldin, of Ander son, with Edward Watson. ^Miss Eloise-Joues, of Columbia, with Julius Clarence Dantzler. Miss Laura King Smith, of Balti mores with George B. Townsend, of Anderson. Miss Gertrude Hoyt with John H. Williams. Miss Frances M. Hoke with Doctor Waitstni Avery, of Andersou. The maid of honor, Miss Alice Louise Cagle, entered through the left aisle alone and met the ?2*room .and bestman, Ernest F. Cochran, of Anderson, who ?came through the light aisle, under the jbower of mistletoe. The bride entered through the left aisle on the ann of her father. The bridal party left the chnrch through, the center aisle in the reverse ?order from which they enitered, the .center of the semi-circle being broken arst, and with the maid of honor and 'best man following the bride and groom. After the ceremony a most delight ful reception was given at the home of -the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius I ?. Smith. The bride and groom were j the recipients of many beautiful and . s?seful presents. ' Mr. Quattlebaum.is exceedingly for- ' t?nate in his selection of a bride, who . as bossed of many excellent virtues, and who will be cordially welcomed to Anderson. We join their many friends in extending congratulations, and wish them a happy journey through life. Kew County Government Law. lt may not be generally remembered that the State will have practically a new county government system next ye?x. The law providing for the change .of system is not in the statute books, it will not be printed in the statutes until tho acts for next year are pub "if bed. This happened in this way : The General Assembly, at ita lasi ses sion, passed the new county govern ment bill, and provided that it should go into effect in several counties shoit ly after its adoption, ^presentations were made to Cuvernor Eilerbe that it would not be well for the new system to go into effect during last spring and gast summer in the counties indicated, because of certain wort?: then in pro gress, which might be jeopardized by a ?tange of officers. The act was "held ap," and it does not go into effect!; until after the assembling of the General As sembly. It has neither been approved nor disapproved by Governor Eilerbe; . ?but simply goes into effect by the operations of the constitution, three days after the session of the General Assembly begins. The act will, no ?doubt, go into effect on the 1st of Feb ruary, when the new commissioners are to begin their eerm of office, nuder the provisions of the bill. It maybe that the machinery can be started be fore that time. The act provides : Section 1 provides "That the office of County^5 upervisor, as now provided by law, shall continue, and, the suc cessors of the present supervisors shall be elected by the people at the next general election, with a term of office for two years, and until their succes sors shall be elected and qualified." Children ' "We have three children. Before the trirtn of the last one my wife used four bot tles Of MOTHER'S FRIEND. If you had tho pictures of our children, you could see a! a glance that the hut one ls healthiest, prettiest and flnest-lapking of them all.

The super visor shall be chairman of the board of County Commissioners so to be consti tuted." Section 3 provides "That on the first day of Februar}'? A. D. 1899, the office of County Commissioners and township commissioners, as now provided tobe appointed by the Governor, shall be abolished, and the jurisdiction, duties and powers now devolved by law upon the appointive boards of County and Township Commissioners, are hereby devolved upon the board of County Commissioners herein provided for, to crmsist of a County Supervisor and two Commissioners." Section 4. "The board of County Commissioners and Township Commis sioners now appointed by the Governor after the appointment and qualifica tion of the Commissioners provided for in this act, shall continue in office as County Boards of Equalization and Township Boards of Assessors until their successors shall be appointed, and the Governor of this State is hereby authorized and empowered, on the re commendation of a majority of the members of the General Assembly of the respective counties, every two years, to appoint such County Boards of Equalization and Township Boards of Assessors, as are now provided by law for the appointment of County Commissioners and Township Comrais ' 8ionere."

What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it? Aus.-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. How can you get thc public to know your make is the best ? If both articles are brought promi ! nently before the public both are cer tain to bo tried and the pu blie will very quickly puss judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people havo been using it for years and have found that it can always be depende! upon.

Tho farmer who plants cora, oats, wheat, peas, potatoes, cane and! hay is the man who comes first with UK lenders af money another year. "in all parts of the United States I have seen or read of there is unprece dented prosperity except in the cotton belt. Railroads can hardly move the freights. Mills and manufactories are working night and day, banks, in all the cities are loaded up with more money than they have had since the civil war. Not so in country banks through this section, because there has been eo much cotton raised that the world can't use over one-half of the product, hence the low price. They forget that other countries are now raising cotton which a few years ago knew nothing of the plant. If this were not true they cannot compete with Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana, which States can raise the cotton at three cents per pound and make mon ey. "Next year will be one demanding closer economy, good judgment and more personal elbow grease. Pursue this line and Ihe banks and merchants will befriend, and God will bless us all. We must help each other and do right in ?ll things." Mr. Wit nara is president of gracious knows how many country banks in Georgia, some forty or fifty, and his suggestions to the tanner are worth a sober consideration. That the system atic diversification of crops is the Southern farmer's only hope and chance cannot be questioned." KucRietu- Aru ? ;alve.
