The smoker given by the Mer chants' Advertising League of Col leton oourty in Taylor's Hall Ic-st Thursday night was one of the most successful gatherings of busi- ness men ever held In \N alterboro. It was a gathering in which every one present took an interest In the business session of the as sociation, in the flood of oratory and in the feast which followed. When President E. T. H. Shaffer palled the meeting to order at 8:30 o’clock for the business session of the association nearly every mer chant in Walterboro was present. The reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed with after which President Shaffer an nounced the resignation of Mr. T. P. Murray, secretscy.

Mr. McCarty spoke on “The Val ue of Organisation and Co-opera tion" and presented the subject la a thorough matoer, showing what could be done in the building up of W’alterboro, If the business men stood together and “boosted, al lowing no petty jealousies to inter fere with their duty to their town and county. Mr. Arrington was next introduc ed and gave some interesting ‘ Ad vertising Hints.“ The groundwork of his talk was honesty in advertis ed .statements and honesty Iri ful filling promises. Extracts from both redresses will be found on another page of this paper. The Merchants! Advertising League will ts-ke up the matter of exploiting the advantages of Wal terboro and Colleton County and will endeavor to acquaint the out sider with the splendid opportuni ties of this section, especially alonj. Industrial lines. At this meetint Mr. Arrington detailed a plan of e\ ploltation which had been success fully tried in other section* and proved beneficial and which cost practically nothing to operate. The “spread "' of good things was greatly enjoyed and reflected much croilt on Mr Flshburne. The as sociation will hold monthly meet ings or "smokers" at which ad dresses will be delivered by well-in- tPrmed business men and “boosten! from other cities, for It will al ways be the «4m of the organization to furnish refreshments for the brain as wAtl as for thq body.

Ackerman, at 11:30 nfclock Monday mornli*. to Joe Wtlltama and Marie Brabham, of Lodge. They gave their ages as 21 and 20 years .respectively, an are members of the negro race. Immediately upon coming into po seaslon of their license, they at once wanted to be married. Mr. Acker man told them he thought he could arrange that. He, therefore, tele phoned Jos. M. Moorer. Esq., a no tary public, acquainting him with the fact, and asking his assist ance. Arming himself with a Bible and his notarial seal, Mr. Moorer sougjit the plighted lovers. and to make the ceremony more ira- presmve he took them Into the Court House, placed them on the Judge's platform and proceeded to tie the knot. The bride wHs dress ed In white and the groom in a black suit. Mrs Gahagan ard her force of helpers who are engaged in trans ferring the records of the St. Pr-uls township. Charleston county, and Mr. Ackerman, were Interested spet- tators. No records were transferred while the ceremony was being per formed. When It was seet how easy it is to get married under the new law, there was some talk of another ceremony, but Mrs. Gahagan mans* ed to dissuade her helpers from taking so preclpltr-te a step. Mr. Ackerman, however, was willing an ready to write another license, aid thus add another 75 cents to the school fund and 25 cents to the private fortune of the Clerk of Court . The time consumed In greeting licence, hunting Notary, ceremony, and making certificate was only Ut> minutes. Mr. Ackerman, thinks he can, with a little practice, and orga Izr.tlon of forces, cut several m'.n* utes off thla schedule. He U go ing to try. This was also Mr. Moorer'a "ffrat offense," and he believes he can do It better next time. The happy couple left on the afternoon train for their future home at I,odge.
