MASS MEETING HELD
TO CONSIDER E
The mass meeting held in the court
house yesterday, beginning at 12
o'clock and continuing to 2:30 o'clock
i p. m., was attended by about 300 men
?farmers, merchants and professional
men?and is going to prove
epoch-making, we verily believe. The
meeting was held to consider the boll
weevil menace, and the speeches made
were illuminating, highly so. One can
not but wish that every farmer and
business man in Union county had
been present.
The meeting was called to order by
J. F. McLure, president of the Union
Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.
After a brief speech explaining
the object of the gathering, introduced
Mr. J. P. Quinerly of Lee county. Mr.
Quinerly told how to meet the boll
weevil menace. Without attempting
to give a detailed report of this excellent
speech, we present the points
Briefly that were given by him to fight
the boll weevil:
1. Destroy the cotton stalks. Do
this as early as possible, say by Oct.
If.
2. Clean up all trash on hedge row
acd terrace, burning this litter. The
boll weevil hibernated in the trash
and in the cotton stalks left in the
field. Experience has shown that cotton
can be grown under boll weevil
conditions by these two things.
3. Pick the squares that have been
punctured in the early spring and
burn them. This method alone has
proven to be sufficient to grow a fair
crop of cotton under boll weevil con
ditions. The picking must start in
May and continue to August, picking
over the fields twice a week. Each
weevil picked means two pounds of
cotton saved.
4. Use fertilizer generously. Use
about what you did under pre-boll
weevil conditions.
5. Don't cut out cotton, but reduce
acreage.
<5. Rotate crops. Grow the food and
feed stuffs. Build up your soil.
These five points made by Mr. Quinerly
solve the problem. He speaks
with authority, from actual experience
and observation.
After Mr. Qufnerly had spoken, Mr.
McLure introduced Mr. H. C. Bates, of
the industrial development department
of the Southern Railway. Mr.
Bate* made a most practical speech.
will you do with that farm node* boll
weevil conditions? (1) Have some
coWb; (2) some hogs: (3) raise sweet
potatoes; (4) figure just how mhdh it
win take of that 200 acres to raise
all the fooAand-jfe^d stuffs necessary
to tale cafe of n? amMwkst *?Ttbat
farm, then plant all the rest in cotton.
J&f e. J^*?tio/L to
auviQe 01 mr. yuineny an wf now u>
treat the acres planted to cotton, ana
you need not fear, the ,boll weevil. He
will tye a blessing:', sot a curse. .M
The next speaker introduced was
Mr. Roland Turner, general agricn^r
tural agent of thfcjjoutheru Railroad
Development Board. Mr. Turner made
a Captivating speech, the facts, as,
gathered by The Tlmfes" ihan briefly
summarized are:
L The trouble has grown out of the
fact that we have bought elsewhere
the necessities, paying more for them
than we could produce them for. This
bad economic condition must not be.
KOur people are 4 great people, but we
are behind inv agricultural development.
The South must; get Upon a better
economic basis. The boll weev.il
v is going to teach us better than all
the Speech-making. You will not^be
convinced by the speaking. You tvill
nave to pay attention to the boll w6e,
* Vjf. People wiy not believe; never
have believed in any county Where the
weevil was just entering. The South
* is getting ready to accept the proposition
that the South must get upon^an
entirely different economical basis.
The present need in Union county
for the farmer and the general public
is some way or means by whicn the
aetage farmer may get cash for some
product of the farm, cash to run on.
You will then have served the great^
eBt need. Sell some cream, feed the
clabber; sell a few eggs and fryers,
And get money to buy the backhand,
trace chain, plows and other needed
implements of the farm.
The second greatest need is the
building up of the lands. How are you
roiJig to improve the lands ? We can't
DUfld np the lands under the present
system. We . must rotate. - We must
plant legumes., Union county should
adopt the policy of selling from the
farm only the finished product. Don't
scH oats, hay, corn, peas. These should
kefot for vour own use on the famgu
We. sore under no moral obligation to
clcithfe the world at less than the cost
of production. The farms of Union
county should be solf-sustaining. The
boll weevil is going to help them to
become self-sustaining.
After the speech by Mr. Turner Mr.
? L. J. Browning was called upon, and
V made a Speech ^ndoi^ing the. speeches
altfqdy. made. He aaidf his study of
the question and his recent opportunely
to see cot top grown under boll weeW
conditions, convinced him that every
word of the speeches was true,
and:In following the Advice the farmers
of the county could grow cotton
aueeessfully under,boll weevil condiA

The <^nti-beer bill also is to-be
'pressed at once, according to Senator

^senate finance coifimittee is to resume
work on the suspended tariff revision
measure, but with little prospect of
filial enactment before early spring.

HURCH
OF PRETTY WEDDING
West side Baptist church was the
scene of a beautiful wedding last
evening when Miss Lucile Coleman
.Jeter became the bride of .James Byrum
Lawson. Lonjr before the appointed
hour the church was tilled to
overflowing with friends and relatives
of this young couple and seated within
the ribbons, just opposite the family,
was the Ph\lathea Class of which
the bride is a member, thus adding a
lovely bit of sentiment.
The church was elaborately decorated
for the occasion fh pink ;ind
green, the chosen color scheme and
the entire rostrum was banked in a
pyramid of ferns and palms and suspended
over this were hanging baskets
of pink roses and asparagus
ferns. The arches were twined with
ivy and starred with clusters of pink
roses and the choir railing carried
out the same idea, as did the latticed
arch under which the vows were
spoken.
At the first notes of Lohengrin's
Wedding March, played by Miss
Celestine Crook, the ribbon hearers
came in and marked the pathway for
the bridal party. They were Misses
Ruth Kennett, Augustine Gnllman,
Lillian Moseley and Amazine Gallman
and wore white organdie dresses
with pink sashes and hair bows.
Next came the ushers, Loyd Quinn,
Smith Cook, Howell Johnson. Ralph
Henry, Frank Kirby and Emmons
Israel; they entered singly and on opposite
aisles and formed a semi-circle
on the rostrum. The bridesmaids
came next and entered in the same
order and crossed' in front of the
arch and stood in a semi-circle in
front of the ushers. They wore
rainbow tinted dresses?Miss Lena
Morris in orange, Miss Vera Mosely
in Nile green, Miss Marie Tate in
bine, Miss Carolina OuttTno of Sumter
in violet, Miss Gladys Sorgee in
yellow and Miss Lilian:' Nance in
pink. They carried ranp bouquets of
White rosebuds and;. ferns tied with
> butterfly bows and made a picture
never to be forgotten.
Next to enter was the maid of
honor. Miss Etelka Jeter, sister of the
bride. She wore ciel blue eatin with
lace trimmings, and carried.a bouquet
> of pink Killamey rosebuds' and fern
tied with pink tulle.
i' The little flower - girls-came next,
nvai fWIUVC %Jl ^ailUltf
frocks and carried . baskets of pink
rose petals which were scattered in
the pathway of the bride.' Just preceding
the -brittle was the dainty little
ring bearer, Miss' Adtfe Cooper,
small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Cooper; she wore a shell pink accordeon
plaited dress and carried the
ring in the heart of a pink rosebud.
The bride entered with her father,
who gave her in marriage, and was
met at the altar by the groom and
his best man, Jennings L. Duncan,
and the words which united these
two lives were spoken by their pastor,
Rev. A. T. Stoudenmire, using the
ring ceremony.
The bridal party left the church
to the spirited strains of Mendelsohn's
Wedding March, i
The bride wore a dress, of soft
white satin over which whs hung in
straight lines a lace drapery caught
to each side with clusters of handnia/lA'
tllllo i*Aone TUa 1
? .?..v .uovo. illt ULIUHI VB1I was
arranged in cap style >?nd held to
the .dark hair by. a bandeaux of pearls
and a jeweled comb, the gift of a
life-long friend. She carried a bouquet
of bride roses and ferns, showered
with valley lilies and tied with
tulle ends.
She is the eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Coleman Jeter of this city,
and is admired by a wide circle of
friends for her many womanly traits
of character and sunny disposition.
They .are united in wishing for her
every good thing this life holds.
The groom is a substantial young
business man of this city and is held
in high esteem by his friends and associates.
Immediately after the ceremony
an informal reception was held at the
bride's home for the wedding party
and the out-of-town guests and the
host and hostess were assisted by the
bridesmaids in serving ice cream and
cake. The dining room decoration
carried out'the color scheme of pink
and green and the brido's cake was
the center piece; it held a miniature
bride and groom standing under an
arch and the fate emblems which the
young party eagerly sought for.
Miss Celestine Crok cut the dime
and if tradition holds true, she will
never lack tor this world's goods;
Ralph Henry found the ring, and that
means He will be the next to wed;
Howell Johnson cut the button and
that dooms him to a life of sincrle
blessedness. The- penny was found
but no one will claim it.
The bride.,changed her bridal robes ? *
for a traveling suit of brown sloth
worn with hat and accessories to
match'and the young couple left for
a honeymoon trip, after which they
will be at home to their friends in
Union.
The wedding gifts were numerous
and beautiful, including silver, china,
cut glass, linen and lace.
Among the , oqt-of-town guests
were Mr. and Mrs. A. P>. Uawson and
Mansell Lawson, of Clinton; Mr. and
Mrs. 1*om Gilliam, Misses Elsie Can- \
non Sara Lyles and Mae Cannon, of
Newberry.
