THREE FOURTH OF ACRE.
Timmonsville Negro and Wife Utilize
Every Inch.
Timmonsville, Feb. 11.?In these
days that constantly are fogging the
vision of a large majority of South
Carolinians, a lesson may be gotten
from what a negro. Mack Du Rant,
and his wife have accomplished on
three-fourths of an acre of land on
the outskirts of Timmonsville. Mack
and his wife are only ordinary negroes,
without education, but they
have the respect of the white citizens
of the town and are also well
liked by the colored race. By constant
work the couple has, within a
few years, paid for their land and
also for the neat wooded residence
which takes up about one-fourth of
the property. The house is neatly
furnished, kept in good repair and is
made attractive by a profusion of
flowers grown in the front yard. The
remaining half acre has yielded, during
the past year, twenty-five bushels
of corn, fifteen bushels of sweet potatoes,
eight gallons of ribbon cane
syrup, a splendid garden with an
abundance of collards until the spring
vegetables come, a good strawberry
patch and plenty of berries, and appetizing
fruit from the small orchard.
In addition to this two hogs have
been raised, one of which on being
killed yielded 200 pounds of meat
and fifty pounds of wholesome lard.
The other hog weighs about the same
number of pounds. Mack has sold <
twelve turkeys at good market prices
and a large number of chickens, be- 1
sides supplying his table with a 1
Christmas turkey and chickens
throughout the year. He still has on
hand a pair of turkeys, fifty chickens, !
one hog and an abundance of canned :
fruit from the seventy-five quart jars <
his wife "put up" from their trees. ?
Mack and his wife are not the "n6w
era" negroes, but the courteous, polite
type, thoroughly respectful without
being servile. They are both leading
church members. He is employed
. by the Timmonsville Oil Mill as fireman.
Celebrates Colden Wedding.
<
On the afternoon of February the
seventh, eighteen hundred and sev- 1
enty-one. Miss Frances Malvina Fatrick
was wedded to Thomas Benton
Leach, at the home of the bride in
Bamberg. After residing there for a
few years Mr. and Mrs. Leach moved
to" this city where they have since .
made their home.
Yesterday marked the fiftieth an- *
nivqrsary of the married life of the .
_y couple, the occasion being fittingly
recognized with a golden wedding I
reception last evening at their home ]
on Pendleton street. 1
Fully a hundred guests were pres- 1
ent, in addition to a large number 1
of the children and grand-children (
of the honorees. j
The rooms of the lower floor were <
artistically decorated with masses' of I
pot plants and gold and white cut "
flowers, brightly carrying out the
color scheme. ^
When the guests had gathered, t
Mrs. J. W. Hewell beautifully ren- a
dered "Silver Threads Among the a
Gold," which was followed by the ?
notes of the wedding march, played s
by Miss Hattie Carpenter, announc- e
ing the approach of the bride and *
groom, who entered together, to re- I
ceive a blessing in a few well chosen ?
words by Rev.- W. B. Garrett, pastor f
of St. Paul's Methodist church, of *
which Mr. and Mrs. Leach are mem- *
hers. J?
Then followed a shower of con- y
gratulations and good wishes from 37
everyone present, the reception con- ^
tinning from seven until ten o'clock,
In the dining room where the color f
motif was effectively used, delicious
gold and white Neapolitan cream
was served with gold-, and wrhite
cake, six grand-daughters of the J
couple being in charge.
The table was a thing of beauty,
having for its central decoration an
attractive gold basket, filled with t
jonquills, and from the lights above I
yellow streamers of gold tulle were
caught to the four corners of the *
table. c
The bride's cake was much admir- t
ed, in the center being two heavily
iced hearts linked together, under- ?
neath being the dhtes at opposite j
sides, 1871-iyzi.
At intervals around the table were (
placed cut glass bonbon dishes filled
with yellow and white mints, a love- z
lv touch of' the whole being can- 1
dlesticks holding lighted yellow ta- 1
pers.
Mr. and Mrs. Leach received a \
large number of handsome gifts,
among which were several piec- j
es of cut glass and china combined ;
with gold, exquisite flowers, and
several telegrams of good wishes, :
one being received from their youngest
son who resides in California.
Among the out of town guests
were Mrs. M. R. Brickie, of Bamberg,
as an only sister of Mrs. Leach;
Mrs. L. B. Fowler, of Bamberg; Mr.
#nd Mrs. I. W. Davenport, of Pelzer;

Deserter Gets Choice of Sentences.
Anderson, Feb. Jl.?The grand
jury of the general sessions court returned
"true bills" in 23 cases today.
In the case of W. M. Golden, charged
with desertion of wife and small
children, the wife appeared with an
infant of five months in her arms.
When Golden was arraigned Judge
Sease told him he could go back and
support his"" wife and children or he
could go on the chaingang for a year.
Golden wanted to inject a proviso,
and told the judge that he would go
home if his wife would promise to
treat him right. The judge said,
"You'll do it anyhow, and if you are
brought into court within a year it
n-iH r?r*f Iiq crnr\r\ fnr i-rm " Thori
tt in xiut wv ^vv/u i-vx. y v/u. a "^x*
Judge Sease sad to him, "Take that
baby and go home with your wife."
iVhen Golden seemed reluctant, Judge
Sease reached for his pen, and Golden
quickly decided that he would do as
the judge had commanded.
