C., Nov. 18.— At the Baptist church here to night Mr. John T. McEacheru, one of our popular youug merchants, led to the altar Miss Hannah Dukes, whose beauty and charm of character make her deservedly attractive. Promptly at 7 o’clock the sweet voice of Miss Mary Mc Call arose clear and flute-like from be ind a bank of ferns concealing the organ, organist and singer. As the last words of the song of “Promise Me” died away, there burst forth from tin organ a flood of melody, under the management of Mrs. Walter with violin accompaniment by Mr. Hinton James, and in marched the party in the following order; Messrs. James North and John McLauchlin, ushers; Mr. W. D. McLauriu and Miss Berta Everett; Mr. Bod. McRae with Miss Lidie And Declares all of the Democrat ic Nominees Fleeted. Mur ray Receives no Encour agement. Columbia, November 23.—This has been protesting and contest ing day. Contests, under the present laws in South Carolina, do not amount to much, but seem to be the paving of the way for contests in Congress. Very little attention seems to be paid to them by any of the parties, and but for the record—and an important one it is—there would be but little in terest. Most of the positions taken before the State board of canvassers will in time all be re hashed before the Federal Con gress, if that body finds time to take them up. The contests from the xst, 5th and 7th. seem to be the ones which the fight is to be centred. The others seem to be very much in the shape of formal protests, which may or may not go further. Mr. Screven, secretary of the Regular Republican party, seems to have the contests from the 3rd and 4th districts in charge, and the contestants themselves did not Gill; Dr. E. J. Gill with Mise Beulah Cajneronj Mr. Frank L. come here or bother with the Bandy with Miai Janie Napier; Mr. Maxey L. John with Miss Janie McEachin; Mr. T. C. Me- Eachin with Miss Mary Staunton. Then came the bride, leaning upon the arm of her choice, now to be made her husband, with the sim ple and beautiful ceremony of her pastor, Rev. W. M. Jones. After the ceremony an elaborate repast was given the party. The bride is a niece of Capt. J. E. Johnson and is well known in Florence, having lived here until about a year ago when she removed to Laurinburg to live with her sister, the widow of Capt. Wells, of that citv. per* in thecas*. The only case in which ther was any argument whatever came from the 1st district, which Col. Elliott will represent in Congress. As was to be expected Murray wants to go back to Congress, but he received no encouragement from the State board of canvas sers. In fact the action of the board may be summed up by say ing that the board declared all of the Democratic nominees elected.- News and Courier. Below is the result of the 6th District Congressional count: Vote McUawIn Wilson McKee cast. Mayor’s Court. The mayor’s court was held this morning for the first time since the 21st. The two following cases were disposed of: City of Florence vs. C. E. Jar- rott, Jr., and Pierre Jarrott, ar rested for riding bicycles without lights on the sidewalk. Fined $1 each. These gentlemen had been ten miles in the country and, being unavoidedly detained, were over taken by darkness; therefore the mayor imposed the minimum fine provided by the ordinance in re gard to bicycle riding.

There is a great deal of discus sion as to the genuineness of the wild man on exhibition in Flor ence this week. As to whether he has ever really been a savage wild man as advertised no one is able to decide. All indications are that he has been wild but of courge it seems unreasonable to bold this belief. He is to say the least a curiosity, a freak of nature, the like of which has never been seen in Florence. A great many people are dis posed to believe that he has been a genuine wild man. Everybody may think as they please but it may be interesting for the people of Florence to see this curiosity. ■ - — _ How to 1‘revent Croup. Some reading that will prove inter esting to young mothers. How to guard against the disease, Croup is a terror to youug mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the THANKFUL SOUTH M.-jrli. »'»u* to be Oral of ill for Miit.-rtal Illeulngit. BoUimore, Nov. 24.—The Manu factures’ Record publishes this wee£, is appropriate to Thanks- gividgday, several hundred letters from Itadiug business men, manu facturers, merchants and railroad officials throughout the South, giving their views as to why the South especially has many reasons for giving thanks for material bleggings. With only two or three excoptiont, these let-ors give a very hopeful outlook us to the general foelidg of improvement that exists in business circles in all the Southern States and show that the prospects are everywhere favorable for increasing activity on the ^art of the manufacturing iu- tereat*. for a large movement of population to the South from the North and West and liberal in vestments of outaide capital in southern enterprises. Many rail road and industrial undertakings that have been held in abeyance for months are now being taken up and plans matured for early construction. Farmers are re ported to be less in debt thau for the very heavy grain production of meat few years having almost selr-sns- taining in the way of food-stuffs and thus kept at home the mil lions of dollars that has heretofore gone west for corn and provisions. Particular emphasis is laid upon the growing power of commerce from southern ports, the magni tude Of this business showing that the Bodth is to hold as command ing a position in our foreign trade by virtue of the proximity of its ports to the ceutral western re gions that produce the grain and provisions for export, as it now holds in iron and cotton manu facturing. While two out of the several hundred letters take an unfavora ble view of the situation and do not look for much improvement, the others are of a most cheerful and hopeful character and are ex pressive of the many reasons why the South has reason to give thanks for blessings enjoyed for daugeis escaped and for the bright promises of great industrial, com mercial and railroad development and also for the assurance of a great southward movement of pop- ulatiou* Our boasted progress conies in the form of the “trolley heart,’’ which a Oh.cage paper assures us is a grim fact. It is claimed that the jolting and rocking of trolley cars pro duces an accelerated heart motion which in many cases produces dire results. Wo have n< t loard of any pronounced cases of this new disease in Atlanta, but Chicago, we are told, has enough of them to fill a hospital. One of our exchanges from that city regards this disease as ‘only the advance guard of a troop which may be expected to arrive soon. It is in daily expectancy of the “typewriter liver” and the “duplicate whist hump.” The “gi.i-sling arm" and the “cock-tail eye’’ are already numerous and well-developed in Chicago and other localities.

Wtshington, November 23.— The Spanish legation is not likely to make any complaint to this Gov ernment with reference to the ac tion of the students at Newcastle, Delaware, a few days ago, who de stroyed a Spanish flag. There is no Spanish consul at Newcastle, and the incident to that extent was robbed of any character.

From the Atlanta Journal. It is an old and well sustained adage that ascivilizatiou advances disease increases. Experience gives ample proof of this. The negro slave was exempt from many of the ailments which assail and carry off his educated child ren. Diseases are common now which were rare a generation ago.- And we have a class of afflictions which are entirely new and are di rectly traceable to some modern invention or habit. The “railroad spine” comes from excessive riding in our rail way passenger coaches. The “bi cycle face” is said to be a well de fined affliction. Diseases of the eyes have increased in number and variety since the use of elec tric lights became common. The latest addition to the penalties of to-day that if a Spanish flag dis played from a Spanish consulate or war ship had been offered an indignity the attention of the State department would at once be directed to the matter and a suitable apology demanded. It is regarded as not unlikely that the “jingo” press of Spain may at tempt to magnify the incident, but there is excellent authority for the statement that it will receive no offleial attention either at the hands of the American or Spanish authorities. m & ciit s tor Sumter ami Columbia, read ing < olumliia by No. 56 at tt.60 p. m.

Here is an il lustration of the way the wind handled things during the big St. Louis tornado. This bicycle, owned in East St. Louis, was struck by three barrels of syrup, a tierce of lard and one barrel of vinegar. Absolutely the only uninjured parts are the saddle and the Morgan & Wright quick- repair tires, which were full of air when the machine was found Even if these tires had been punctured, unless severely torn, any one of the holes could have been repaired by the quick-repair device in them, without trouble. Riders of these tires, when they have a puncture, need only be careful to pump as much air as possible into the tire before insert ing the quick-repair tool. The re pair can be made in two minutes, at the roadside, without taking the tire off the rim. * to W §ir)ts. Wanted to sell, one fair pun* white full grown rabbits. Ap ply to II. D. Long.
