Wolfe-Carothers Nuptials.
A beautiful October wedding
took place at. 7.30 o'clock on
Wednesday evening when Miss
Mannie Reid Wolfe, youngest
, daughter of Capt. M. M. Wolfe,
became the bride of Nile Livingstone
Carothers at the home of
the bride's brother in Sprattville.
On account of a recent bereavement
in the home, circle of the
bride, only a few friends and the
immediate families of the bride
and groom were present.
The home was beautiful with
its decorations of ferns and fall
flowers. In the parlor bridal
roses and ivy were used while
tall ferns banked high the bridal
altar, and against their feathery
background was arranged on
each side a colonnade of white
peuestais eacn topped with candelabrum
ablaze with candles,
while overhead just in front of
the altar where the bride and
groom were to stand was suspended
a large white wedding
bell, the graceful curves of its
white surface relieved by delicate
tracery of green smilax. In
j the centre of the hall was placed !
I the punch bowl at which Miss |
Aileen Harris served during the
evening.
As Mendelssohn's wedding
march was sounded by Miss Rebecca
Harris two lovely flower
girls, the bride's niece, Lizzie
Harris, and the groom's sister, i
Mamie Carothers, came down the !
isle and entered the room stretching
the broad ribbon of satin up
to the altar. The bride, noted !
always for her delicate, flowerlike
beauty, was exquisite in her
bridal gown of soft crepe de
chene. Crowning her wealth of
auburn hair was a coronet of
orange blossoms, which held in
place the filmy wedding veil and
I completing the bridal costume
was an exquisite boquet of carnations.
Thus the winsome bride
leaning on the arm of the groom
proceed to the altar. There they !
stood while Rev. W. M. Owings,
1 pastor of the bride, spoke t he ;
! the words that bound their lives
together.
Mr. Carothers and bride were j
the recipients of many handsome 1
gifts of silver, cut glass, china,
etc. W. M. O.
Want Robinson's Sentence Commuted.
The Columbia State of Friday i
says that Col. YV. W. Lewis of
Yorkville and Mr. J. Porter Hollis
of Rock Hill, were in the city
yesterday with a petition for a
commutation of sentence in the
case of Love Robinson, who has
been convicted of murder. It
will be recalled that Robinson j
some months ago shot and killed
a colored woman, Babe Watson,
in the lower part of Fort Mill
township, and that his trial re;
suited in a conviction of murder
in the first degree. Robinson
; was sentenced to hang, but pendi
ing an appeal his sentence was
stayed. Should the appeal he
| withdrawn the governor w ill act
on the petition either one way or
the other, but as the case is at
present before the courts it will
be either withdrawn from there
or passed upon by that tribunal
before being considered formally
by Gov. Ansel.
Big Cotton Fire in Rock Hill.
| The third and most destructive
cotton fire of the season visited
Rock Ilill early Sunday morning.
1 The warehouse of Edward
was burned with 700 or 800 of
' bales of cotton, putting the loss
at about $35,000 on the cotton
and $3,000 on the building. This
is estimating the cotton at the
local market price.
Speculating, much more was
lost, because the cotton was for
the most part stored because 1 he
i owners were not willing to take
I the market price. The cotton
i was insured upon the basis of
market value, of course.
On the building Mr. Fewell had
about $3,000 insurance. This
1 warehouse was badly damaged
on September 13 and 200 bales
of cotton burned.

P Some of our farmers are trying the above plan and
P are meeting with success. If more of them would give <?i;
^ this matter a test instead of trying to raise nothing hut \
J cotton, which brings money only once a year, and
? would raise more corn, oats, sugar cane, potato:-.- an ' ^ .'
\ cattle, they would find that they would have money (?*
* coming in all durintr the ve;ir inatpuri of or?K- i.
p is certain that any crop we raise will at some time he a
i) failure, and by doing Diversified Farming we would be ^
p better able to withstand any bad season or low prices ^
P for any particular crop. We have too mum cotton S'.f
? farmers and not enough of other kind of farmers.
r Another thing that they should learn is that it is
? a mighty hard matter for any man to get along without w
p a Bank Account. It does you good in many ways. If
p you will deposit your idle money with this bank you
p may rest assured that we will take care of all your (pi
? legitimate needs when you want money. Do not h siJ
tate to come in and talk to us about your business ai ?
