ding march. The attendants were:
{ Miss Olive Cauthen with Mr.v LawL
rence Murray and Miss Mildred Ship- <
I man, who entered with Mr. J. C. i
I Cauthen. The ceremony was per- i
ft formed by the Rev. A. J. Cauthen,

tended Mr. and Mrs. Cauthen the !

Cuthbert Bessinger Injured.
With his right eye probably de- <
stroyed, his face severely gashed and (
his head badly bruised in several
places. Cuthbert Bessinger. a twelve- ]
r year-old Orangeburg boy, lies dazed ;
in the Baker sanatorium. He was
L brought to this city Saturday night 3
W from Orangeburg by his brother, Mr.
John Bessinger, after two wheels of \
a loaded wagon had passed over his head
Saturday afternoon.
Young Bessinger was driving a 3
wagon loaded with hay at the time of j
the accident, and in some manner lost j
his balance and tumbled to the
ground, both wheels of the wagon
passing over his head.
He was immediately hurried to Or- ;
angeburg and placed on the early ,
evening train and brought to Charleston.
He was unconscious until
k yesterday afternoon, when he par^
tially recovered his faculties. It is
feared that he may lose the sight of 1
his eye. Attending physicians are of t
the opinion that while serious, his in- i
juries are not necessarily fatal. .
The young man has a number of (
friends in the city who will wish for
him a speedy recovery. His brother <
was still in Charleston last night.? ;
Charleston News and Courier. ,
Later news is to the effect that
Young Bessinger is suffering from
concussion of the brain.

S. C. LAWMAKERS MEET
SHOUT SESSION SENTIMENT EXISTS
AMONG SOME.
Cothran is Elected Speaker.?Action
is Deferred 011 Prohibition
Amendment.?Proceedings.
Columbia, Jan. 8.?The house of
representatives at its initial session
went on record as favoring a short
term, elected Thomas P. Cothran, of
Greenville, as speaker to succeed J.
A. Hoyt, whose resignation was accepted,
and developed some opposition
to the ratification of an amend
ment to the federal constitution providing
for absolute prohibition.
A resolution, introduced by Capt.
N'. G. Evans, of Edgefield, which had
for its purpose the shortening of the
session, providing for a steering committee,
received objection and went
over for consideration.
There is, however, a definite opinion
among the members of the house
that the session, because of the war
emergency, and because of the fuel
shortage, should be limited. Some
of the members favor passing emergency
matters, like the general ap-'
propriations bill and the county supply
measure, within two weeks and
taking a recess until April, but the
major portion of them, it appears,
desires to remain in Columbia, but
consume a minimum number of days,
complete the business before them of
extreme importance, and adjourn and
go home.
The House.
The house of representatives was
called to order by Clerk J. Wilson
Gibbes.
The proceedings were opened with
prayer by the chaplain, Rev. L. E.

removal from the State, was received
and accepted, and Speaker Pro Tem
Berry then called Mr. W. W. Smoak,
of Colleton, to the chair, and election
of a speaker wras entered upon.
T. P. Cothran, of Greenville, was
placed in nomination by Mr. W. B.
Stafford, of Greenville.
J. A. Berry, of Orangeburg, was
nominated by Mr. B. D. Carter, of
Bamberg. j
The result of the ballot was as follows:
For Cothran, 77; Berry, 17.
Speaker Hoyt was thanked for his
gift to the house of a complete set
of "Hind's Precedents."
Mr. J. A. Berry, of Orangeburg;
Mr. N. G. Evans, of Edgefield^ and
Mr. J. Howard Moore, of Abbeville,

per cent heavier than ever before,
according to the Post Office Department.

FARM PROSPERITY j
IS HOME MADE
Can Be Continued Indefinitely In .
South If Farmers Do Their Part,
Says Hastings
Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?That the
present wave of "farm prosperity" &
the South is "home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interesting
statement made recently by H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price of cotton rather '
than to its real cause.V
"Naturally, the high price has helped
a great deal, but the real reason for
the money being in the farmer's pocket
or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead of owing it to supply merchant
at the end of the season, as was
usually the case in times past. Never :
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need of few store purchases and \
made few or no debts."
"If the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms."
"Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and de- '
crease food and grain acreage in 1918. j
The man who does it is foolish. The !
whole world is short of food and this !
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts. ,
Continued high prices for food is as cer- '
tain as sunrise each morning."
"Real money-in-hand farm prosperity
is absolutely dependent on the
growing on one's cwn acres of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid-;
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or ofher
cash crop. The larger part of the cost
of making cotton or other cash crop ig
in the food, grain and forage consumed
in making it.
"These items 'home made' can be
produced at from one-third to onehalf
the price the merchant charges i
and home production of them means
just that much reduction in the cost
of making the cash crop.
"Farm prosperity in the South can i
and will be permanent just as long as
our farmers continue their farm oper?
ations on a 'home made' basis."
Columbia got $24,952.75 during j
the holidays in the shape of fines,!
mostly from violation of the liquor '
laws.

We are all at a danger point. On j
the use of good common sense in our .
1918 farm and garden operations de-!
pends prosperity or our "going broke." j
Even at present high prices no one j
can plant all or nearly ail cotton, buy j
food and grain at present prices from !
supply merchant on credit and make j
money. Food and grain is higher in j
proportion than are present cotton!
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies 0:1 your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. It
will save you more money than you |
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
Hastings' 1918 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money saving
garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It's

The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95 per cent, cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B..A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a week.
Usually, though, cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog?each
hog must be dosed?and if you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you don't
the B. A. Thomas medicine costs you
othing. We?not some distant manufacturer?pay
your money back.?
