MOCK MARRIAGE MADE MERRIMENT The mock marriage of Miss Ruby Fannie Slinpklns nnd Mr. Casey Jones Samson at the opera bouse Wednesday evening was well attended. The bride was very happ.v after the ceremony was performed. w"bieh bound the groom to her In slavery. The bride's parents seemed heartbroken over giving their daughter, as the moat of them left the stage Mobbing. The children, sisters of the bride, were very much amused over the occasion and an old negero servant was continually watch ing to keep them out' of mischief. Every one present seemed to enjoy -it. and those who were not, regretted having mjssed It. Man ? Hancock. The wedding of Miss Lillian Man to Mr, E. A. Hancock was solemnized 011 Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. II. C. Cook about five miles below Camden. The bride wore a lovely white taffeta dress and carried White carnations. The only attendants were Miss Loree Arthur and Mr. Brock - ? \ Seegars. The rooms were decorated In smilax, ferns and white flowers. Rev. Mr. Attaway performed the ceremony, the ring service being used. After the wedding those present were Invited into the dining room where a bounte ous turkey supper was served. Many people from other states of the Union frequently wonder at the way. the people of South Carolina can tell what section of this state one na tive is from by another's name. This is a fact, however, and the family' names generally tell ttie tale as to one's birthplace or to where one's peo ple live anyway. An incident of this kind occurred yesterday. Mr. W. W. Boykin, of Charlotte,"" N. C., was in the Bank of Anderson talking to Mr. P. E. Cllnkscales and Dr. Jas. P. Kin ard walked 4n. Introductions follow ed. I)r. Kiilard told Mr. Boykin he ought to be from Camden. Mr. Boy kin told I)r. Kinnrd that his name brought to his mind the town of New berry. Both half way plead guilty to the charges. ?

New York, Ma rob 'JO. ? -Paris and Now Vork ufo both at the moment, ami have ' been for over ho many weeks bark, in t tu* midst of the Spring ojhmi I uk hubbub. We are not quite sure as yet whether coats are to be short or three-quarter ? length, whether sleeves are to bo tight or b>ose, whether blonde or brunette will be the fashion tills season. It Is quite safe to predict, however, thttt tiu? same Keneral U>u$ suggested in the mid-season openings ami at the various fashion shows will be followed. Quite often one notices lu the new Importations a tendency to the slender, tapering waist; and this, of eourse, means (lie well-corseted' tlgure will be countenanced for a moment but a trl tie more trlinness, eondueted by a well fitting modern gorset, is necessary to meet tin* requirements of the Spring suit, with il.s hint of ri curve at the waistline, its graeeful flaring skirt ami eoatsklrt. A earefully seleeted and properly fitted corset Is necessary and always has been to a smart, well groomed appearance. Kather than In jurious, the right corset tends toward health, Dance Frock of Taffeta and Chiffon. Several of the l'aris houses are ad vocating the three-quarter-length coat, and now and then one sees a polonaise effect. These coats are made with well fitted -shoulders, and rounded waist line. It is quite remarkable that this should he so just now, when we are massing so much fullness in. the skirts between the belt and the knees, but it only goes to show the wide variety we are to enjoy this Spring and Summer. Skirts continue short and full. Many of the houses are emphasizing the fa vor shown by them for the crinoline since the first whisper of full skirts began to circulate, and many are us ing interesting methods of extending the skirt.s ; among these are reeds, fea tberbone. and even hair-cloth sticen Iiigs. In many instances the reeds tire graceful and becoming, but, as a rule, the effect is extremely awkward, as there is no pretense whatever of con ?eallng the mediums, and they often protrude at unexpected angles, giving a curious, un-heautiful result. In the regulation Summer frock and the dance dress of net, organdy or oth er of the sheer, dainty fabrics favor ed this year, the fulness of the skirt Is made decidedly graceful and youth ful by tucks, ribbons, and. bias bands of the same, or a contrasting material. Often folds of chiffon or net are at tached to the inside of the skirt of the dance dress giving a soft, bouffant effect which is pleasing in every way. Taffeta is unusually effective combin ed with, or as trimming for, the pale toned frock of organdy or net, fash ioning the Summer dance dress. In both illustrations this week the skirt Is of taffeta and the effect of the deep tuck is well brought out. The first dress has an umlerbodice of shadow ilace and a simple over-drapery of jmirion. The short sleeve cap, while it concedes to Fashion's sleeveless de mand, also makes a concession to mod esty. The second frock shows the combination of net and taffeta. A side from being enpecially pretty, this combnlation is practical, as net wears particularly well and lends itself to almost any fashion of draping. Her Debt of Honor."

That a milk and butter abort age need never take plueC In this country, no mat tor bow completely Isolated from tho test of tbo world It might become in Home future condition of Its development, Is a bit of Interesting Information eoulalued In a study Just prepared for tbo National (Jeonraphle Society at Washington on the world's dairy industry. Dispatches from m?v* oral of the warring countries in Ku ropo carry notices of serious shortages of butter fats and of milk ; mid. re Kardlng the lusutllcleney of milk sup plies in certain belligerent lands, much has been said about the hardship , worked upon the babies. The socie ty's review of butter and milk pro duet Ion In tliu various countries re duces questions Just now of greatest Interest concerning the nature of the war's reaction upon humanity's milk pail and butter tlrkln to concrete tlg ures. The following bulletin unbod ied the results: "In any discussion of tin* world's market basket the Importance of milk cannot be overlooked, in the United States alone we produce more than ? six billon gallons a > ear. This is an average of nearly ou< gal'on per cow each day. Kxeluslve of the milk and cream consumed on the farms of the co'ufi try (which, by the way, repre sents the bnlk of our production.

Only one-third of all of the milk produto'd In the United States is sold from the farm. Much of that which remains "T5T used for domestic purposes there, although a billion pounds of butter Is proudly exhibited by the American farm as one of Its by-products. The total production of hotter In the United States Is around 1,700,000,000 pounds. While ten out of every seventeen lbs of our butter is produced on the farm, nearly all of our choose is made In factories.

Industry In Siberia, and boforo the war great express trains swooping across two continent*, tarrying nothing but dairy products, were a striking object-lesson of the world's craving for butter and cheese. The Chinese. Koreans and Japanese use comparatively little inllk, their countries being too populoun to adroit ojf the k?M?ping of many cpwa. "Little Denmark leads all the coun tries of the world In the ex portal Ion of dairy products, and Danish butter Is known wherever good living Is en joyed. Danish dairymen have been Imported to all parts of the temperate World to teach the secrets of high class dairying. "The volume of butter which In nor nuil tim?*s reaches the channels of In ternational trade amounts to 72K,000, 000' pounds which Is less than half of the butter production of the United States alone. The per capita consump tion of butter In the United States Is about 17 pounds. On the same basis, .Germany would consume 1.139,000,000 poumls. In 1013 that country Import ed 1 212.000,000 pounds more than It ex ported. "It wilt be seen from this that If she normally uses as much butter as we do, her shortage would be 10.7 per cent. However, Norway, Sweden, Den mark and Holland have about 326,000, (>00 pounds to export annually, while Austria -Hungary has a surplus of 4, ooo.ooo pounds.
