HAPPILY MARRIED TWO HEARTS MADE TO BEAT AS ONE. Mr. Robert Lee Riggee and Miss Jaule Mae Wannamaker Are Wed ded at the. Family Home.. Amid scenes of joy and happiness the marriage of Miss Janie Mae Wan namaker and Mr. Robert Lee Riggs was solemnized at 5 o'clock Wednes day afternoon, at the residence oi the bride's parents, on Whitman street in this city. The home was beautifully decorated, a profusion oi lovely flowers, ferns and other appro priate symbols being in evidence oc all sides. This event Is peculiarly interesting to more than one South Carolina city, , in which most "of Miss Wannamak er's life has been spent,, and whert her charming manners have won fo: her great popularity. She Is tlu second daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J G. Wannamaker, who have main friends in the cities of Charleston and Columbia, where Dr. Wanna maker was formerly identified witr prominent business interests. A pleasing and gentle disposition was her inheritance, which has been th.1 means of drawing to her many ad mirers. Promptly at the appointed hour, tc the strains of "Lohengrin," as ren dered by the Orangeburg Orchestra, the bridal party entered the spa clous parlor. First came the brides maids and groomsmen, coupled as follows: Miss Janie Murray, of Co lumbia,, first cousin to the bride, and Mr. Lewis Wannamaker, the bride's brother; Miss Jennie Wannamaker, also the bride's first cousin, with Mr. Earle Kaminer, of Gadsden; Miss Dot Bull, with Mr. Sam King, of Charleston. Mrs. Robert C. Hoi man, of Barnwell, sister of the bride, was dame of honor and preceded th" maid of honor. Miss Carrie Wau,,::i maker. anotner sister. The groom then entered with his best man, Mr. Pickens Anderson, of Charleston. Then canie the bride, radiantly beau tiful, leaning on the arm of her fath er. Tne party was complete and, in the Impressive ceremony of the Meth odist church, these two young per sons were made man and wife. The couple stood beneath an arch formed of lilies of the valley, ferns - and Southern sniilax. Above them were suspended the two letters "W" 'and "R," Initials of their family names. Illuminated with tiny elei; t'rich lights. Just as the ceremony was completed the lights in the "W" were, as if by magic, extinguished, leaving the other letter to typify the union of two hearts and lives. - The officiating minister was the Rev. T. E. Wannamaker, the bride's grand-uncle, who. in the service performed today has the distinction of having married'three generation*, having officiated on similar occas ions} for the bride's father and grand father. Not the least attractive part of the whole affair was the costume. The bride was gowned, in a marvelous creation of radiant white Victoria satin, adorned with real lace and a bride's veil. She carried a bou quet of bride's roses. The maid of honor .was becomiugly attired iu white *repe de chine, trimmed with satin hows, chiffon and Irish lace. Her bouquet was of pink roses. The . beauty of the dame of honor was enhanced by a lavender dlrectoire gown of messa?ne, with hand em broidered trimmings and plaited chif fon. She wore gold slippers and car ried a howiaet of lilac chrysanthe mums. Miss Murray wore an empire gown of chiffon, with a deep satin fold around the bottom and garnished with real Irish lace. Miss Buk was attired in a gown of white lingerie, elaborately trim med with white val lace. Miss Jennie Wannamaker's gown was of white lingerie, trimmed iu Irish lace. The bridesmaids wore gold clippers and each held a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. The groom, who is to be congrat ulated upon his success In winning such' a charming partner to share his fortune through life, is from the good old City of Charleston, where he is firmly established in business. During his many visits to this city he made numerous friends, who join in tht) sincere hope that he and his young bride may be blessed through out their lives. Only members of the family and out-ol'-town ,visitors witnessed !the ceremony, after which the guests who had been invited to the recep tion began to arrive. Each guest congratulated the newly married couple and partook of the hospitality which was bountifully dispensed. Mr. and Mrs. Riggs left via the Southern at 8 p. m., for Washington, New York and other Northern points. After a bridal tour, extending over a period of several weeks, they will be at home in the City of Charleston, their future pormanent pla*|9 of res idence. Many elegant presents were re ceived from admiring friends in dif ferent parts of the State, which at test the' high regard held for the young people. The occasion was en livened by delightful music furnished during the evening by the Orange burg Orchestra. L. Ii. W. Petition for a Dispensary. A committee from Cope appeared before the County Dispensary Board at Its last meetiug with a petition for the opening of a dispeusary at that place. The petition was signed by a number of citlzeua, which would indicate that there Is a demand fo^ a dispensary at Cojpe. The board will consider the mattter at their neat meeting. THE FIRE DRILL. 1 Pupils. Taught How to Act in Case of Fire. Tne Orangeburg correspondent of The News and Courier says "there is little likelihood of a stampede ' at either of the city school build , ings in the event of a fire. Superin tendent Thackston has,the scholars thoroughly trained in the Are drill, 1 which they are required to perform ' frequently and without previous no " tice. Each time the school fire alarm ? sounds the children respond promp - ? ly and leave the building without ' the slightest sign of disorder. Not until they are outside are they in ! formed that there is no fire. Anoth ' er test was made Monday, and it re - quired but two minutes and i|2sec j onds to empty the Sellers avenue building, which contained 450 chil dren, with class rooms on the first ? and second floors. The time taken, , to get the children from the H. G. . Sheridan building was even less, ac counted for by the fact that in the ? latter building there is only one grade on the second floor. The 5 scholars marched out In perfect or " der, carrying their hats,' cloaks, books and all other school accessor 1 les. Whenever the alarm is heard ' the children believe that it Is only 1 for the puropse of testing their pro 1 ficlency in the drill and' in case of ? fire the same idea would prevail. NEEDS A JAIL. > . Calhonn County Has No Where to i Confine Prisoners. The St. Matthews correspondent of i The News and Courier says: "With - no jail facilities and no semblance [ of a decent guard house in town, i this county is In rather a deplor , able condition from the standpoint i 'of prisoners and their destiny. This matter was brought to the attention , of the new county commissioners In ? courteous and kindly terms. It was , also suggested,, that the sureties i might cough up sufficient cash tj relieve this necessity and leave the Court House to the fate of a town bond issue in due . legal course of events. This commission is compos*-, ed of the leading citizens of the coun ty, some of whom were very liberal and kind about the matter, recogniz ing the virtue of the agitation and their right to meet the needs of the public, while others lost their equllibrum most unwisely, threaten ed to annihlllate. all "kiclaers" who could not and would not harmonize with anything or nothing that migh: be done. The older and more con servative heads sanely decided to re quest the town authorities to build a first-class guard house, which will largely obviate the unfortunate pre dicament In which we are placed, and the probability is that this wi'l be done soon." Will Come Rack. The Bamberg Herald says: "Mr. Jas. E. Salley who has been super intendent of the electric light plant at this place since it was built, has resigned to take effect three months from now or sooner if the board ol public works can fill his place. Mr. Salley goes back to Orangeburg. He was superintendent of the water anil light plant!there before coming to Bamberg, and he goes back at a substantial increase in salary. The hoard regretted very mueh to gi\e Mr. Salley up, ^ut the plant here is not large enough nor has enough customers to warrant paying him what a water and light plant com bined could pay." * Tho Girl From Missouri. One of. the prettiest and most wholesome plays traveling this sea son Is the new four-act comedy dram, "The Girl From Missouri." which comes, to the Academy of Mu sic on next Monday night.

SOME HARD SENSE . Too Many Farmers Turning' Their Land Over to Renters. The St. Matthews correspondent i of the News and Courier says: "Too many farmers are moving to town and leaving their lands in the hands of worthless and shiftless renters Besides, too many are land-poor. Iu some communities, where the whites are thickly settled and the farms split into many parts to meet the demands of increasing families, the problem is somewhat perplexing at the other extreme. But there are thousands of acres crying for small and industrious white farmers. Tu these sections, if Commissioner Wat son has this class of immigrants he should let it be known. It has been too much the case in many quarters, as was said of John Randolph,. bft Roanoke, that large landowners were tempted to set their blood hounds upon any man who offered to purchase any part of the ancestrial domains, but the hour is fast ap proaching when many broad acres must be turned over to weeds and bushes or put into the hands of the great white middle class for devel opment and Improvement. This 's not pleasant to admit and dwell upon, but we may as well face the inexora ble facts of the case squarely. Hen ry Ward Beech^r's philanthropist, who can make two blades of grass grow where one (and perhaps none) grew before, Is sadly needed in many portions of this fair county of ours. Held for Higher Court. Dr. W.

Jordan said he represented an insurance company of Augusta, Ga., and sold Ravenel a policy. The policy was not forthcoming and Ravenel wrote the company about it, and he was informed that the company had no agent by the name of Jordan, and did not, do business in this State. Jordan should be passed around. Helping the Cause. Captain N. N. Hayden, of tin Fork, contributes one dollar through The Times and Democrat to the National Democratic Campaign Fund.

BOWMAN ITEMS V . ? -.:'(.-. ? *V f t y *; ?' ? MR. G. W. MYERS GOES TO HIS REWARD. Saw Mill and Ginnery Burned. Farmers Selling Their Cotton and Other Local News. . Bowman, Oct. 21.?Special: Mr. G. W. Myers, ol! this section, died last Friday evening, after an Illness of about a week. Mr. Myers hai quite a severe spell of sickness in tne early spring, from which he never fully recovered, but was able to be up and atend to business ahout th-i farm. He served his country in thj Confederate war and was with the sixteen-year-old boys when called out. Mr. Myers was about 60 years old at his death. He leaves a devot ed wife to mourn his death. The ginnery and saw mill of Mr, S. H. West near Ebenezer church was destroyed by fire some four nights ago. The fire is supposed tD be of incendenary origin. A few bales of cotton was lost In the *flre. The total loss Is estimated at $1, 500.00, with no insurance. Mr. West is chock full of "energy and push,' and in all propabllity will soon be up and d?ing^ along the same line of business again. Farmers are marketing their cot ton quite freely, notwithstanding the low price of the staple. A somewhat dlspondent feeling prevails on' ac count of the drop In price of the staple. Much of the cotton now be ing sold is for the purpose of meet ing bank accounts, lelns, etc. There will be no material change for the betterment of <the financial condition of the country until the "cussed'! Hen law Is abolished or the llne? drawn more.tightly In the credit sys-. tem as Is practiced nowadays. Credit is too cheap entirely and r.no one knows this any better than the banker or merchant. Considerable cotton remains to be picked in some of the fields on farms hereabout. The yield will be fairly good, with some exceptions. The pea crop is somewhat better than usual and quantities of the vines have been harvested during the past few weeks, the weather bj ing unusually favorable for such1 work. ?> Ponds and streams are low and in some instances drying up arouiid here and large quantities of fish are being caught. Small alligators about, twelve inches or more are frequently caught and brought to; town. Mr. J. Clifton Evans, engineer on the B. & B. Railroad here, is an en thusiastic "coon and 'possum" hung er?runs the engine every day and hunts three nights out of the week, and to date has caught 15 "coons' and 25 '"possums." Says he doesn't tire of /the sport. ?Prof. C. J. Rast, of the graded school, assisted by Misses Bobb ani Miller, has the school in fine shape now, and good work is being ac complished. Mrs. O. P. Evans is in charge of the music department. There is a marked increase in the number of pupils attending the graded school here this year. "DUNDEE." SPECIAL TRAINS .

At her home near Springfield, S. C, on Thursday, October 15th, the 86th birthday of Mrs. Rachel Fan ning was fittingly celebrated, where she has. lived since her marriage to Allen Fanning in the year 1845, living in the same modest but com fortable house that he built for his bride 63 years ago. Aunt Rachel as she is known by every body In this section is a remarkable oil lady, with a memory just as bright as it was 50 years ago. Her hearing has been very bad for a number of years, yet she converses about as well as she ever did; fully understanding almost every word by your^lips. The war left her family with nothing ex cept their land, that Sherman could neither burn or carry with him. In 1867 her husband died, and she undertook to reise a large and help less family, which she succeeded in doing as the worth and standing of her sons and daughters attest. Thos? of her children now living, and who were with her last Thursday were John W. Fanning, B. Winton Fan ning and Mrs. Duke W. Roberts, of Perry, S. C, Allan Fanning and Mrs. Reese H. Morgan of Springfield, S. C, and S. J. Fanning and Miss Liz zie Fanning who still live with their mother. There were about three hundred of her relatives and friends with her on this occasion. Among her relatives were representatives of the Corbetts, Morgans, Hydricks, Salleys, Jones, Inabinets, Hughes, Tylers, Willinghams, Williams and among her oldest friends present were Mr. A. A. Corbett, Jno. C. Fanning. Jos. A. Fanning, L. P. In [abinet, Patrick W. Fanning, R. H. Morgan and James Odom. Rev. C. W. Dukes was present and as sisted in making the day pleasant for Mrs. Fanning who is now the oldest living white person in the up per fork of the Edisto, except Mrs. Narcissa Morgan who is 89 years old. The splendid birthday dinner was spread under the oaks that sur round Aunt Rachel's old home, and there many heartfelt prayers were made that God would spare this prec ious lady many years yet, before He gathers her to himself. Her life has been a living light to those who walk In darkness. LIST OF LETTERS. Those Remaining Unclaimed in the Orangebngr Post Office.

CONFLUENCE CALLED COTTON GROWERS INVITED TO MEET IN COLUMBIA. President Harris, of the State Fann ers' Union, Calls Meeting for Next Wednesday Night. President Harris, of the South Car olina Farmers' Union, has issued the following can: "In order to have a conference on the cotton situation and to devise some method for relief all members of the Framers' Union and others Interested In the raising of the price of cotton are urged to meet in the Court House at Columbia on Wednes day night of Fair Week. It is highly important that there he representa tives from all sections of South Car olina and from all interests. Thia meeting will be addressed by Sena tor-elect Smith and others. (Sighed) "B. HARRIS, "President S. C. Farmers' Union. Senator-elect Smith was in Colum Tuesday and gave the following state ment for publication: - "Now that the election is over and my enforced absence from any ac tive participation in the fight for cotton at an end, I am in the work to better conditions if possible, and they are possible. The present price of cotton is a reflection on, the South. A small crop last year and a small crop this year have, or should have, discounted the effect of the panic Had there been a normal crop last year and prices gone off on account of the panic.it would have been nat ural, perhaps, but with a small crop at home and abroad, with no'flatter ing outlook for a yield this #year. present prices are nothing short of a disgrace to the business man and farmer./ j "Look at the price of corn, oats, wheat, lard, meat and hay, to say nothing of other commercial articles, and compare these with cotton. Why didn't the panic affect them? Besides, about two-thirds of th?* American crop is sold in Europe. A panic in America should not affect the buying power of foreign conn tries. "It is said that goods cannot be sold at present prices, or are not being Bold, because it would repre sent a loss to the manufacturer. By the same token cotton should not be sold, because it represents a 7obb to the grower. Because fifteen cents was not realized last year is no rea son why eight cents should he taken now. It really looks as if the pur chasing world was attempting to whip the grower for revolting, after four years, against their masters. There is manhood and money enough to stop this criminal foolishness and lack of confidence and common sense. "On Wednesday night of Fair week every man interested in a high er price for cotton is asked to meet in the city of Columbia, at the Court House, to discuss the situation and join the other States in stopping che sale of cotton at present prices. ' "I am on my way to Montgomery. Alabama, where I will address the farmers of that State, and will nring ? a report as to what they and other States propose to do. "E. D. SMITH." MEN WANTED I No Man Over 45 Years of Age Need Apply. There's the sign tht's getting to be a common thing to America. Corporations are retiring men *t 50. They are not hiring anyone over 40.
