be able to resume his duties at the
milling plant in a short while.
?o?
There are some evidences of a mild
type of influenza in the county. The
cases are scattered and there is no
occasion for alarm. The symptoms are
very much like the flu, although it
is possible that it may be traceable
to the severe colds from which the
people have been suffering for the
past several weeks. There are no
pneumonia cases traceable to the flu,
although there are several cases in
the county.

Carmichael-BUuk.
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. Poison
Rickenbaker and little daughter, of
Orangeburg: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roy
Black, Mr. Sumter Black and Miss
Louise Black, all of Rock Hill; Miss
Belle Moore, of Spartanburg; Mr. F.
C. fcarmichael of Dillon and Rev.
Wm. B. S. Chandler of Dillon.

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."

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

eminent was rapidly sapping state's
rights, reference being made to the
suffrage and prohibition amendments
to the federal constitution. He gave
the appearance of being pleased with
the thought that the country was going
republican. He added that he
could not vote the Democratic ticket.
If thP ex-governor is correctly
quoted he is h-ardly a. democrat him-;
self, at this time anyway. When he
runs it will be time enough to remember
his party!
