The following account of the marriage of Miss Sarah Black and Mr. Rod M. Carmichael will be of interest to many Dillon folk: Union, Jan. 24? A home wedding of rare beauty was that of Miss Sarah Black, of Rock Hill, and Mr. Roderick M. Carmichael, of Dillon, which was solemnized at the home ot the bridete cousins, Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Barron, on South street in this city, Thursday afternoon January 15, at 6 o'clock. The wedding guests, about forty in number, included only close relatives and members of ihe wide family connection. The guests were received by Mrs. G. B. Barron. Mrs. Lucy Barron and Mrs. S. E. Barron. Before the ceremony Miss Mary Ransome sang "Until" and "At Dawning". At the first strains of the wedding march played by Mrs. G. B. Barron, the dame of honor, Mrs. Higgins, of Buffalo, sister of the bride, entered. The little ring bearer, Elizabeth Rickenbacker, of Orangeburg a neice of the bride, was dressed in a dainty frock of pink and white tulle and carried the wedding ring in the heart of a big pink rose. The bride entered on the arm of her cousin, Mr. G. B. Barron, by whom she was given in marriage, 'and was met at the altar by the bridegrom, and his best man, Mr. Frank Carmichael, of Dillon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. William B. S. Chandler, pastor of the First FresDyterian cnurcn 01 um?u. In the dining room where a salad course was served by the Misses Kathleen Betsell, Frances Sartor and Alice Arthur, in attractive evening frocks, the handsome table was covered with a beautiful Maderia cloth, the centerpiece being a crystal vase of brides' roses and white carnations, j After the shower of congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael left for their Jtoneymoon in Florida, after which they will be at home in Dillon where Mr. Carmichael is a prominent young business man. I Among the out-of-town guests at ;the wedding were: Mrs. G.

C. fcarmichael of Dillon and Rev. Wm. B. S. Chandler of Dillon. o NEED COTTON GRADERS Columbia, Jan. 24?The General Assembly of South Carolina is urged in a statement issued last night by J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president J of the American Cotton Association, | iu mane ceiiaui amcuuiucnus hi hie South Carolina Warehouse Act. Mr. I Wannamaker, urges that a commission of seven, 0ue from each congressional district, be created to co-operate with the warehouse commissioner and that the commissioner be I given authority to license warehouses. "The South Carolina Legislature," said Mr. Wannamaker "by making certain amendments to the warehouse act can make an act that will furnish model warehouses for the entire cotton belt. "The present act has many admirable features. At the cnnual convention of the Sbuth Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association, however, it was decided to urge the general assembly to amend this act to permit the state warehouse commissioner to issue licenses for warehouses.. "The cotton industry is gradually being put upon an economic basis. A bale of cotton should have the grade stencilled upon it; we should have licensed graders, men wh0 have taken a thorough course in grading, stapling and fibering oJ cotton. The timp is fast approaching when our colleges will put on courses on the business side of agriculture. Europe has been for years past spending vast sums in this way, the great universities turning out men thoroughly equipped for the business side of life. As an example, Oxford University England, with Prof. Todd at the head of a department of economics, teaches its young men in addition to a regular commercial training, every phase of the cotton industry. "We export from 60 to 65 per cent of our cotton. This cotton is bought subject to acceptance in Europe so that today, although we have been producing cotton since 1735 in South Carolina we only produce and fail t0 market. < "With an amendment to the South Carolina Warehouse act, creating a commission of seven men, one from each congressional district, to co-operate as a board with the warehouse commissioner, licenses 4 could be issued to men who are thoroughly equipped for handling the business side of the cotton industry, as well as the business side of our products. It will be necessary that we follow the course followed in England which is the best of its kind in the world. We must teach transportation, including exporting. We must teach graditg, fibering and stapling and every detail of the cotton industry. "An act requiring that cotton be graaea aiiu me graue sicutincQ ui>uu the bale would bring tremendous benefits to the cotton industry. It would be the first step toward handling of the business side of this great product. "With a chain of warehouses throughout the entire cotton belt, uniform warehouse receipts and bonded warehousemen, tremendous benefits would accure. The final result would bring almost unthinkable benefits to every line of the cotton industry even including the man who buys the cotton clothing. It would save enormous country damage and the tremendous loss resulting from sampling and resampling and the uneconomic methods in the transportation of cotton." o NOTICE. Take notice that the spring term Court of General Sessions for the county of Dillon will convene at the Court House at Dillon on Monday the 16th day of February, 1920, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. JNO. C. BETHEA. 1 22 4t C. C. C. P. & G. S. More About Ex-Clov. Blea.se. Orangeburg Times & Democrat. It has been a long time since we heard of Coleman Livingston Blease, but he is still hoping. Just after :Christmas he made a speech to the | textile unions of Rock Hill. His 'speech has been fully reported in a jNorth Carolina Republican newspaper, and we see that Colie is up to his old tricks, trying to hurt Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic party as much as possible, but still afraid to get out of the party himself. The North Carolina newspaper says a "considerable portion of the tit.io \i-?c inL-pn nn In rritirisinsr the democratic administration, the speaker referring tQ the fact that he was still as much opposed to our entering the war as ever." We have no criticism to make of Mr. Blease's advice to the unions, as reported in the North Carolina paper. If correctly reported he has \yisely advised them, and fairly. Neither have we any criticism to make of his stand against the participation of the American troops in the war or of his denunciation of the Democratic government. That is his right. We merely call it to the attention of real Democrats in these parts, so when Mr. Blease runs again, as he inevitably will, if he sees a chance of success, the regular Democrats will be able to pay the proper respects to his bogus variety. The reason the North Carolina paper was interested in his speech was on account of his remark that the Democrats had stolen a Congressional election in that state and that if he (Blease) was in Congress he would vote to seat Hoey, the Republican. The North Carolina paper says, "Mr. Blease bitterly arraigned the administration forces in Washington for plunging the country into war nr*A /Jnnl o rarl that hit PfiTTIArin And Filbert speeches three years ago had turned Into prophecies. He still contended that we had no right to enter the war and thought events had proven this. The people were fast repudiating those who had made war possible, and when they get another shot, they are going to put in a republican president and change the entire regime at Washington. He declared that the present government is not a democracy, the past Congress was not democratic, that the president was not a democrat and never was. He referred to the fact that the govSi HI IS HI IS IS SSI HIHIH 1 To the I is IS I have at J| Stables formerl | B.
