The na<ions at war are powerful and have esources which cannot be exhausted n a day. ? ? The command of the Bible to turn the other cheek, and if a thief takes ^our coat to give him your cloak also, has a meaning deeper than many nave found in it. ? It really takes some energy to sit ;lown on the street corner and knock the town and the people in it, and this is the only kind of force some men seem to possess. ? * m * Many are the reasons why the war n Europe would make it hard for the farmers of the South. Just as in imes of peace the speculators are :oming in for their portion. * * One cent today counts twice as much with some people as five cents loes payable next week. This is one *eason that some men never accumuate anything. * * * * Some farmers will raise abundant mops and make a fortune in money >n land where others could not make inything. This shows that there is something in knowing how, even in 'arming. * * Be content with thy lot. Was this ntended to make one satisfied with lis achievments and keep him or her ler from trying to attain to higher hings. You may be sure it had no ?uch meaning. * ? During a campaign the opponents >f one of the candidates and his folowers can take up the merest trifle igamst him and make something out >f it that will do him injury. This is a great country even now. What will it be when the stretches o\ voodsland through this section are all dcared up and in cultivation? Convay will then be a city of at least ten ;housand inhabitants. * You will see a whole lot in the news papers for the next few weeks advising the farmers to hold their cotton for higher prices. It is good advice, rhe European war makes it imperative. t * The coming years will see new :hurches and better school houses all sver this section of the State. The lands will be cleared in all the waste places, and as the time goes along the condition of the farms will be improv ed. * ? * Much is now being said about thf things that are allowed to go to waste all the way from United States army methods down to the wiles of the or dinary housewife. But the most valuable thing that is wasted and has been wasted every day since the beginning of the world is time itself. * Instead of standing around the street corners and bewailing the European war, cursing about the low prices of all you have to sell and the high prices of all you have to buy; you had better be glad that you arc not in the war and therefore likely to lose your precious hide. ? * * It is a mistake to suppose that because a man is silent and even short and abrupt in his speech to others, that he is not a good man and even kindly at heart. The man who minds his own business and insists in doing his own thinking, has but little time to entertain others. * * * * It was true when the opponents of Ellison I).- Smith said that no one man could eVer raise the price of cotton. Nevertheless, the man who tried deserved more credit than the man who did not think it was any use to try. So far as Smith was concerned it is not doubted that he tried and tried hard to benefit the farmer and there is no doubt but what his efforts helped * * * * The most terrifying feature of the war in Europe is the death dealing bombs which can be dropped among the populace by the aeroplane or dirigible air ship. There are other forms of death known to modern warfare just as horrible in point of fact, and perhaps really more deadly, but it takes the war in the air to bring on the fright. * ? * It is often very easy to purchase some new article of machinery or some new tool designed to shorten and lighten the labor on the farm; but it is a sad mistake for a farmer to buy these things and fail to understand how to use them, and fail to study the machine or tool until he knows how to take care of it. ? * ? It is best for the people to prepare themselves without delay for the thousand inconveniences that will arise to worry them from time to time as the war in Europe proceeds to its uncertain end. Although it is certain to come to an end at some time, yet that end can safely be assumed to be a long way off in the future. * * * * Much has been written in an effort to try to explain the causes leading to the war which has turned all Europe into a charnel house. Page after page has been printed for the benelit of the people and page after page has been read and still there is no explanation that can be said to be at all satisfactory. In fact there is very little known on this side of the water as to the exact cause giving rise to this great conflict of nations. * * * The farmers of Horry County are anxious to know just what would be best for them to do in regard to the disposition of their cotton crop of this year. There is much being said in the public prints now, there is also something being done throughout the South to make this matter as plain as possible to the farmers. The Herald management has endeavored this week to publish as much as possible on the cotton situation so that the farmers may read what is in the papers and understand the situation for themselves and then be prepared to take whatever steps are best in their own behalf.

The wedding of Miss Marjorie Quattlebaum to the Rev. LaRue Langs con took place at Kingston Presbyterian Church at the hour of 9 o'clock r? I m., on last Thursday, September 3rd, 1914. For several days expert hands worked busily in arranging the decorations and since the event, many have pronounced it the most beautiful wedding they have ever seen in this section of the State. The church itself is beautiful. Situate on tfie banks of Kingston Lake and surrounded by giant oaks from which float festoons of southern moss, there is no more romantic spot whereon the marriage I vows may be taken. The ceremony was performed by Dr. W. J. Langston, father of the bridegroom. The interior of the church had been prepared and decorated with great care. Behind the altar were banked palms and ferns in rich profusion. There was an immense arch across the front decorated with white and yellow roses interwoven with green folage and studdied with small electric lights. Words fail to describe the soft, delicate effect attained in the decorations, when these lights were j switched on just before the ceremony. I rPVi?* liol^nvcs TVtT All - 1 nt uoncic n CI c. ATI I 1 (I III V^IUUHO baum in the right isle; Mr. A. E. Gold finch in the left isle. The ceremony began with that still1 ness which usually precedes such an event. Mr. McNeill Poteat and Miss | Bessie Covington marched along the left isle to the piano, where, Mr. Poteat sang: "My Gift," "Myself" and "Love's Carnation." After this they joined the wedding party in the vestij bule of the church. Mendelsohn's Wedding March was played by Mrs. It. C. Hunter. The little ribbon bearers, Master James Edward Bryan and Miss Kathleeb Anderson, entered the left isle and Master Don McCaskill and Miss Margaret Bell the right isle. They carried white ribbons and stood j as the wedding party marched through. The little ribbon boys were dressed in white sailor suits while the | little girls wore exquisite dresses of green silk with net fichu's and green ribbons. Next came Mr. McNeill Poteat and Mr. Gordon Poteat up the left isle, the latter crossing to the right side. Misses Bessie Covington and Louise Brown followed, Miss Brown crossing to the right side. Then the flower girls came in. They were, Misses Irma Lewis, Genewood Norton and Lorraine Bell, Selma Gregg and Estelle Burroughs, Eugenia Anderson and Louise McCord. They carried baskets of flowers nd were dressed in yellow silk with net fichus, yellow hair bows, black slippers and white socks. They assembled on the rostrum of the church and stood there while the ceremony was performed. Then came the bride on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss Mary Harlce. They came along the left isle, while the gi'oom with his best man, Mr. Cleveland Langston came along the right isle. These met underneath the arch where they were married by Dr. W. J. Langston, the father of the groom. The prayer was offered by the Rev. ' Mr. Green, pastor of the bride. The ' beautiful ring service was employed. The bride wore an elegant gown of white crepe de chine with point lace trimming en train. Her long veil was caught up at the back of the hair by a gold band. She wore a bridal wreath of orange blossoms and carried a large bouquet of lillies of the valley and bride's roses. She also wore a golden chain, an heirloom of the McQueen family. It belonged to the bride's great-grand mother who came from Scotland. Miss Mary Harlee, the maid of honor, wore green messaline with chiffon and pearl triming. Miss Louise Brown wore white messaline with a rope of pearls as ornament. Miss Bessie Covington was gowned in white messaline. All wore white satin slippers and carried bouquets. Mr. and Mrs. Langston left on the mid-night train for Myrtle Beach, where they spent the night. They expect to visit Columbia, Greenville and other points and will soon leave for Brazil, where Mr. Langston goes as a missionary. On Wednesday evening before the wedding on Thursday, a brilliant reception was given the brideal party by Mrs. Cephas . Quattlebaum, mother of the bride. Those present were: Miss Leah Martin, attired in blue crepe with lace, Miss Louise Brown, robed in Maize with flowered organdy Miss Bessie Covington in blue silk, crepe tunic, Miss Mary Harlee in a cream lace dress, and the bride dressed in cream crepe de chine with yellow sash; and Messrs. LaRue Langston, Mr. Pitts, Mrs. Harlee, Miss Mary McLaughliii, Mrs. R. C. Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hucks. The men wore evening suits. Mrs. McQueen Quattlebaum presided at the punch bowl. Miss Mary Harlee .cut the bride's cake and found the silver. Mr. Pitts cut and was lucky to find the ring. Each of the party made cut into the cake but the thimble wai not found by any. Refreshment * were served. The presents received by the bride were numerous and costly. They consisted mainly of cut grass, linen, silver and china. The missionary soctety of which she was a member presented her with a ten dollar gold piece. The out-of-town guests at the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Mar- ( tin, of Marion; Mrs. Mary Haree, of fl Florence; Miss Leah Martin, of Max- fl ton, N. C.; Miss Mary McLaughlin, ofl Cheraw. There were many whose names space will not permit.
