On hist Thursday afternoon at tho home of the bride's father, Mr. ?. G. Thompson, Miss Ida Thompson und Mr. .lames Dean were married, Kcv. Rob ert Adams, officiating, 'f ho ceremony took place in tho presence of rel atives and friends after which the party left for Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Henry's whore a largo reception was hold. Mr. and Mrs. Dean are a popular young couple and many aro tho wishes for their life long happiness. Ono of tho most delightful social events of months past was the enter tainment given by Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Lltcas on last Tuesday evening to Mr. Marly Pegues of Oheraw. The eve ning was spent in cards and danc ing! several animated games of whist occupying a part of the guests while in tho spacious double parlors a ( jrmnn was led by Mr. Pogues first and later by Mis.-. Lyl Harris, it being decided to introduce a leap year fea ture into tlie occasion.

C, } April 11, 180?. j* It has been some little time slaco the sentiments of the ono time scribbler of The Advertiser has had any place in its coin inns but 1 make bold to think that an occasional word may at least bo read whether it is intorosting or not, by ono's old and steady friends. come to charleston. First of all, (for that i* uppormost in my mind), it should be known in Lau ron? that all Laurene is expected to come to Charleston on tho twenty-sec ond of April, when tho re-union of Con federate survivors Is held. Thousands of old "Confeds" from every county and 8tato will be horc and tho occasion will bo ono of tho greatest events since tho war. Never since the "boys in gray" wero together with muskets In their hands will thero have bcon su. a an assemblage and "rebel yells" will bo heard even in Laurcns by those who arc uuwiso enough to stay at homo. A oue cent a mile rate has been se cured and tho opportunity for a visit to Charleston "when tho flowers aro in bloom" and the city is at her best will be a great one. So everybody, old men, pretty girls, (all tho girls between tho Saluda and tho Enoree arc pretty), tho sixteen year old boys and the babies aro expected and a grand welcome awaits them. It will bo the idea": sea son for excursions to the Island, to the Magnolia gardens, and the dozens of other beautiful and historic prints in and around Charleston. Tho State Press Association is to bo in session here at that time. General Clement A. Evans, of Georgia, is to address tho survivors and a distinguished editor Is to inako a speech to the editors. There willl ha plays at tho theater every night, prize drills, concerts, and addi tional attractions too numerous to men tion. POLITICS. I wish 1 could write about something else than politics, butpolltCS is all that an editor Knows and only guesses at that. In tho language of arr ox-rc former of ext inction, "the situation is peculiar." From my standpoint it is tunny. I notice that my friend Pet Smith is announced for sheriff, 1 recall that at the campaign meeting of 180-1 or 1802, ho introduced one of tho speak ers as "the peerless Tillman," and It did not seem to me, (a poor reporter for a Philistine' and conscienceless newspaper) that it was an accurate de scription. But perhaps it was. 1 thought then that Tillman had peers but now the winds from Laurons waft me that even Col, Irby Is looked upon as having peers. It's a bad mix up.? It is whispered that some of those who were fond of Col. Irby to distraction then, are dear lovers now of I hose who don't love Irby. If my reform friends in Laurons will take my advice, they will undertake a peace and unity cam paign, True the "conservatives," tried it in 1SD2 und it wouldn't work worth a cent, but tho need for it now Is far greater than it was then. I'm u friend of "peace and unity" and it would be charming to see i . given another trial, ft would be delightful to behold Jin aged and seedy theory dressed up in new toggery und obtaining vindication. Vindication is the thing,?this State is crammed with people who need vin dication and it is to bo hoped tin ' thousands of them will get it this year. Sometimes I permit my Imagination to run away with my better judgment und the thought comes unbiddon that perhaps the wicked ADVERTISER has been right all the time. I fancy that even the sub-treasury was not the greatest and best project that ever Sprung from mortal mind. Who knows? You all remember how beautiful and blessed and promising it was, how it was loaded with chunks of sweetness in 1800 and 1802 and oven In 1894. You have heard it described by others in the court house many a time. Where is it? Has it a grave? Was there principle In it'-' Principles never die.? "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." Were even tho poor ghost of the sub-treasury to rise from the cold, damp sod, shaking Its coremonts to mournfully tell us that wo Antis wore wrong and wicked, perhaps I could be lieve it. But whore is your ghost of the sub-treasury? I font* that the corpse did not receive Christian burial and tho ghost itself is hiding its shamed head. TAXES. That other thought comes unbidden that perhaps tho advertiser was not so far wrong years ago when it insisted that Tillmanfsm would not make tax< a lighter. Is it true that this year taxes arc higher and that they seem to grow like .lack's bean stalk? Can it bo that two-thirds or throe-fouths of the voter8 of Jaiurens have been mistaken all this time in tho belief that Tillman could run tho government cheaper than John Peter Richardson? Why are taxes higher? Why? Tho interrogation like Uanquo's apparition will not down, AtlOUT TILLMAN. It has always been my opinion that Tillman was a far abior and indeed, with all his faults; a better man than most of his assistant lenders. Between Tillman and .lohn Gary Evans, for In stance, the difference is incomparably great. But for that very reason Till man is tho more dangerous. He is am bitious and ho is more. He has the power to mislead, ff Tillman had not been a demagogue, had he been com paratively patriotic, the best mon among the Anti-Tillmanitos would havo been working with him by this time. Hut they understand him too well. They have observed him and learned that, while in some rospCCts he may be u superior mmi to his subor dinate spokesmen, he is A self-seeking politician and will not scruple, toi lolte political mischief and confusion in or der to achieve his own private ends. tdk TRIO. Many readers of tho A DVERTISER will remember thftt one ovonlng in the fall of'on Bon Tillman arrived from Columbia and made a speech from the East Court House stops. Capt, Shell Introduced him OS t ho "head-devil of thorn all." In those days how lovely was tho alliance between the three lca dors of the party, Capt. Shell, Capt. Tillman and Col. Irby? Then tho.AD VERTISER WOiS fighting them bard, it was spokon of as a "bittor paper." Is thero any ono of those throo great men to-day loss blttrtr towards each of the others than was tho ADVERTISER thon towards thorn all? I don't supposo that Col. Irby, for in-j stance, holds tho ADVERTISER in hiy#i OBtoom,?it would not bo natural if jfo did but 1 suspect that ho has jus mtfdi eonfldonco in tho ADVERTISER asfho has In Bon Tillman. The samo thing may be seid of either of tho othor/ I? thosh loaders so mistrust each o/ner, may it not bo that they wore all wrong all the time? Ponder the question. Hy the way. On one occasion above all others Col. Irby was useful to Till nian. When the March Convention of 1890 was on tho point of rejecting the Froposition to make nominations, Col. rby saved the day, and saved Tillnian. Tho vote was alradst a tie. How Irby rushed to Chairman Talbert and had the announcement of the voto with-held until he could turn tho tido is historic. That moment was tho only crisis, (until now), in Tillman's career. But for Irby ho would havo beon hurled back to Kage?eld und probably would have boon a defeated soro-heud unto thlsdav. But Irby plucked him from beneath tho chariot wheels. 8ouator Tillnian does not want Sona tor Irby to bo re-elected to tho Seuato but ho is grateful to John Gary Evans. Senator Tillman is a grateful cuss, any how. In 1891) was John Gary Evans a Tillniauite or an Antl or what was ho? Tho anti-Tillmanitcs havo nothing to do with tho scullle among tho Tillman itcs. They should keep out of it. If it were possible to olect four mon of brains and honesty aud sterling inde pendence to tho legislature from Lau rons, whoso votes for United States Senator would bo given to tho best man who otters, whoever ho may bo, it w ould bo to the a .tvantage of tho wholo Stato. In my opinion Senator Tillnian is un do!' binding obligations to help oleet Senator Irby as his own successor. Hut tho Anti-Tiilnuuiites are under no ob ligations to oither Irbv or Tillman. W. W.

The name is de rived from the town of Artois in France where the first well was bored. Trading with us is like digging a well?you dont have to do it but once. After that you will understand why it id that huudreds of people give us the endorsement of their steady patronage. There aro many reasons for this fact, the principal ouo Is that our prlcos are right. .We dont claim that we can Rave you monoy on everything. Some things have an established value the world over. Nothing is more certain than that no ono house can always soil the best goods at prices lower than every ono else. But there are many thjngs on which wo aro unquestionably the lowest and if you will take our en tire lino, up ono side and down the other, averaging our prices, It al ways boils down to that little net dllTerencc of 5, 10, or perhaps 15 cents on the dollar which you save from our economical way of doing business. A small store but a large capacity for serving you acceptably. In April and May take Harsaparillu. Wo have all the best kinds and none of thoother kinds. Wo have it at fifty cents, scvonty-fivo cent--, ninety cents, or ono dollar. Wo sell our own make and that made by others. Take your choice but remember "a little Sarsaparilla flavor, a smell of sarsaparilla and a sarsaparilla lablo on tho bottle, dout make the kind that cures, though it may make the kind that sells" (to those who dont know any better.) The ingredients of our Sarsaparilla are open to the knowl edge of all. No secret nostrum about it. There's lots of health, energy and appetite bottled up in it. Come In and talk tho matter over.
