There is nothing that is perfect in

When in need of good lands that

Severe punishment is the only remdy
known to human experience that
rill diminish crime. It is rough medcine
but it must be administered.

There arc some who arc so good
hat they believe all mankind are the

ater to find that they are sadly misaken.
* * * *
Some are not satisfied unless they
an buy heaping up and shaken down
veil together, and then sell with scant
neasure, but this is the poorest satis"action
in the world.
* * *
It never hurt any man to come
>ut with honesty and truth in any
transaction, no matter how important
le may have thought it was to keep
he truth concealed.
*
There is no way to tell how longhe
European war will last. 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.

NOTABLE WEDDING
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cephas I'.
Quattlcbaum Weds Rev. LaRue
Langston.
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.

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. I
The bride will soon leave with her"?
husband to go with him to his work I
in far distant Brazil. She has always I
been identified with every movement fl
organized by the ladies to farward fl
the work of the church. She won fl
friends without number by her sweet fl
disposition and kindly and Irving man- fl
ner. She will be missed by all. Mr. H
Langston is a son of Dr. W. J. L
ton of the Missionary Baptist church. H
He has fitted himself for he ministry,B
is highly educated and cultured, andB
will no doubt make a name for him-fl
self in the profession he has chosen. HI
The bride is the only daughter of Mr. II
