I have recently had the exquisite pleasure of visiting Marion county and riding on its good roads, and I say, ''Hats off to the citizens of ^ Marion county, who are not afraid of a bond issue," and I want all of the hayseeds of Horry county who are not afraid of the bond issue for good roads or any other public ben/ ?

Now, we are heavily in debt and are dragging to town at the rate of one mile per hour, paying 6 per cent, interest on a big road debt and no provisions as to how or when it will be paid. When by the bond issue we could have borrowed the money at three per cent and havo the assurance of good roads for centuries to come At the present slack way the county is run it could not stand with the backing of a Rockefellow. I live thirteen miles from the county seat and would gladly give $50.00 0s per year for good roads when at the , present prices of potatoes, one load f would pay my road tax for 5-years.

At the recent,meeting of Williams0 burg County Farmers' Union the followirg resolution was adopted: Whereas notes for the payment of fertilizers becoming due and payable in October and November have a tendancy to reduce the price of catton, therefore, Resolved, That the members of the Farmers' Union and all other farmers buying fertilizers have their ^ notes made payable February 1st instead of in October and November as they are now, Resolve. Tha' each County Union and each Local Union be requested to appoint a committee of three to confer with the business men and ^ dealers and ask them to co-operate with the farmers in this matter. This shows that the Sumter meotiug was timely. Let the Unions all over the State express themselves on this subject and at least take nothing less than the Sumter plan calls for. This resolution is being sent from the State Secretary's office to each County Union and also to the Local Unions in the State. E. W Dabbs, i| President S. C. State Farmers' Union. Death of Moses Martin. a Moses Martin died a few days ago ^ at the hosp'tal at Florence, whero'ne had gone for surgical treatment, and his remains passed through Conway last Monday on the noonday train. He had been suffering for sometime from abcess of the liver, and had been taken to the hospital where a surgical operation was performed about one week ago, in the hope that this might save his life. At first it was believed he would recover, as he stood the operation well. r _ a? I.. -I. : ,ii.. ,i i_j>' t'tir nr wirn riipiui^y ?uu uit*u.

The Church Was Beautiful in Artistic Decorations. Special to the State. Marion, Nov. 27.?Wednesday evening at G o'clock a beautiful wedding was solemnized in the Presbyterian church wheu Miss Sue Martin became the wife of Paul Quattleoaum of Conway, The little church was beautiful in its artistic decoralions. A mass of ferns and Southern smilax were banked high, and the whole scene was lighted with many candles. Yellow chrysanthemums marked the reserved pews. An enjoyable musical programme was rendered by Miss Elizabeth Covington, and to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march the bridal party entered the church; Miss Nina Carmichaei and Miss Marjjrie Quattleboum, in white broadcloth coat suits and black picture hats, ooraing down the side aisles crossed in front and took tneir places; then came the ushers, James Martiu of Wilmington and Dan McLaurin of Rowland, N. C. Tbo dame of honor, Mrs. Marsh, of Fayettoville*, was gowned in a handsome champagne costume and carried white chrysanthemums. Then came the maid of hoaor, Miss Liza McQueen, of Maxton, ia a lovely yellow gown and carrying an armful of yellow chrysanthemums. The groom entered with his best man, his brother, McQueen Qaattlebaum, and joined the attractive bride, who had entered on the arm of her fathea. She wore a caster coat suit, with brown decorations, and a handsome hat, with these two shades predominating, with gloves and shoes of brown. Tne impressive ceremony was performed by the brides pastor, Rev. Samuel May, and as Tannhauser's wedding march was sounded the bridal party left the church in the reverse order from which it entered. Mr. and Mrs. Quattlcbaum left immediately for a bridal tour North, and after two weeks will bs at home at Conway. We clip tho above account from the Columbia State.
