Our Own Jim Harris Acted as Her
C'hapcrone?What the Kansas
Woman Said and Did.
Carry Nation, tho Kansas bar-room
smasher, was at the fair last week in
Columbia. Carry bad a big time.
Carry believes in v erand Jim Harris
in White Stono L thia Water. Mr.
Harris was also In Columbia. The Co
lumbia Statu of Saturday sa>s:
44Yesterday afternoon the chief fea
ture on Main street was the oxoltement
created by Carrie Nation, who mounted
convenient doorstops and addressed
hundreds of amusod citizens.
"She was chaperoned by Col. Jim Hnr
ris, proprietor of the White Stone
Lithla Springs and one of the jolliest
fellows in South Carolina. Nobody
seemed to take Carrie seriously, but it
was all the same to her, as she found
purchasers for hundreds of her souve
nir hatchets.
"The crowd whooped when Carrie
caugbt a young fellow mimicking her.
She boxed his jaws good-naturedly and
the joke was on her tormentor. It is
supposed that Mrs. Nation endorses
Col. Harris and his mineral spring.
Col. Harris does say his spring is full
of good properties."
?'Ono of tho features of tho early
morning was a talk to the Clemson ca
dets outside their quarters at the old
Agricultural hall. Mrs. Nation was
hoisted into a window and from this
vantage point exhorted for some little
time the boys and many others who
gathered near, her every sentence be
ing punctuated with vociferous ap
plause and peals of laughter.
"Doyou know,"said she afterwards,
in the most artless way imaginable,
'?wherever I go or whatever I say
everybody laughs?" There was
nothing original in her little speech
to the Clemson boys, but she speaks
clearly and directly and her English is
very good indeed. She appears to have
the Bible at her finger {tips and to be
thoroughly imbued with tho idea that
hers is a divinely appointed mission."

MARRIED AT PRINCETON.
Beautiful Wedding of Mr. J. E. Allen
and Miss Ocorgia Carter.
(Oontriubuted.)
The hospitable home near Princeton,
8. O., of Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Mary
Woodruff Carter, was the scene of a
beautiful wedding on Wednesday
morning, October 29tb. In the soft
light of waxen tapers and the fra
grance of flowers, surrounded by Inti
mate friends and relatives, their only
daughter, Miss Georgia Carter, was
married to Mr. J. Emmett Allen, of
Princeton.
Promptly at 8.80 to the strains of
Mendelsohn's ,March, played by Mrs.
Cornelia Herndon Sullivan, the bridal
party entered. W. H. Carter and Her
bert Allen, brothers of tho bride and
groom were ushers and their mothers,
Mrs . Carter and Mrs. Allen, Matrons
of Honor. Miss Ella Sullivan, in stylish
suit of dark red oloth, very suited, to
her brunette beauty, stood with Mr.
John Humbert, of Honea Path, and
Miss Helen Carter, with bird-like
beauty and exquisite grace, in suit of
brown Venetian cloth, was with Mr.
Paul Allen, brother of the groom.
Standing beneath an aroh of green,
from whloh were suspended by white
ribbons gilded hearts pierced by Cu
pid's dart, the bride, beside the hand
some sweet-heart of her oblldhood and
lover of her girl-hood, looked very
lovely in suit of light saere green, with
corsage bouquet of real orange blos
soms. As the minister, Rev. S. W.
Henry, of the Methodist church, pro
nounced the solemn words that united
these young lives, like the melody of
distant waters rippling over rock and
fern, there came from the piano,
touched by skillful fingers, the low,
sweet notes of the refrain "The voice
that breathed o'er Eden."
Mr, and Mrs. Allen left at once for
Columbia, driving away in the crisp,
perfeot autumn morning amid a show
er of riee. They will make their home
at Waro Shoals. The presents re
ceived were numerous, handsome and
useful.
In the dining room, made gay with
bright leaves, palms, ferns and cannns,
a delicious luncheon was served of
dainty salads, fruits, oreams, cakes and
coffee. The table decorations were
magnificent chrysanthemums and as
paragus fern, with exquisite embroid
ered linens, fine old white china and
silver.

A company of Amorlcan artists
headed by Miss Mario Lamour present*
a comedy of American authorship,
which, however, received Its initial
production at tho Strand Thoatro, Lon
don, will bo the attraction at tho City
Opera House next Tuosday, Nov. 11.
The play referred to Is Wilfred Clarke's
brilliant comedy, "A Wise Woman"
and its presentation in this country has
so far proven a duplicate of its success
in tho British motropolis, nearly 250
nights to capacity business, and this
fact alum- would seom to be an unan
swerable argument of success. Miss
Lamour, the charming comedienne,
who Is being featured lu the title role
of ''A Wise Woman" was recruited
from the brilliant corps of players at
Daly's New York thoatro, and tho
faith that was placed In her ability to
mako a success in a stellar capacity
has so far bcoo more than justified by
the results. The best ovidonco of this
is that, not only do tho critics praise
her, but tremendously largo audiences
have greeted her almost every night of
tho season.
The Meeting Closed.
The protracted meeting at the First
Presbyterian church, conducted by
Rev. R. G. McLecs of Greonwood and
Rev. Robert 'Adams, closod Sunday.
About fifteen porsons joined the church.
It is believed that the meeting accom
plished great good.

Congress Lumus Blalock received 10
and Joo Johnson 108.
On the amendmont to the State con

was practically unanimous in the af
firmative a few persons refraining from
voting at all.
At tho Laurens Cotton Mills box
about 30 votes votes woro cast, all Dom
ocratio. Blalock did not get a vote at
that box.
There is not much interest in the
election nationally except In New York
where Color, Democrat, has a showing
to beat Odoll, Republican, for gover
nor.

SPRANG to tho stirrup, and .Toris nnd he;
I galloped, Dlrck galloped, wo galloped oil three;
"Good speed!" cried tho "watch, ns the gute-bolts undrew,
"Speed 1" echoed the wall to us galloping through.
Behind shut tho postorn, the light sank to rost,
And Into tho midnight wo gnllopod ahreast.
Not a word to eaoh other; we kept the great pace
Neck by neck, stride by stride, never changing our place;
I turned In my saddle and made its girths tight,
Then shortened each stirrup and set the pique right,
Rebuckled tho check-strap, chained stacker the bit,
Nor galloped less steadily Roland a whit.
'Twns a moonset nt starting; but while we drew near
Lokeren, the cocks crew and twilight dawned clear;
At Boom n great yellow star camo out to soe;
At Duffeld 'twas morning ns plain ns could be; *?>
And from Mechcln church-steeple we heard the holf-chlma? *]
So, Joris broke silence with "Yet there is tlmcl"
At Aerschot up leaped of a sudden tho sun,
And against him the cattle stood hlack every one,
To stare through the mist at us galloping past,
And I saw my stout galloper Roland nt last,
With resolute shoulders, each hutting nway
The base, as somo bluff river headland its spray;
And his low head and crest, just ono sharp car bent back
For my voice, and the other pricked out on his track |
And one eye's black intelligence,?ever that glance
O'er its white edge nt me, his own m?ste?', askance;
And the thick heavy spumo-flakos which aye and anon
His fierce lips shook upwards in galloping on.
By Hasselt, Dirck groaned; and cried Joris, "Stay spur!
Your Rooa galloped bravely, the fault's not in her;
We'll remember nt Alx"~for one heard tbo quick wheeso
Of her chest, saw the stretched neck and staggering knees,
And sunk tail, and horrible heave of the flank,
As down on her haunches she shuddered and sank.
So we were left galloping, Joris qnc) i,
Past Iiooz and past Tongres, no cloud in the sky;
The broad nun above laughed a pitiless laugh;
'Neath our feet broke the brlttlo, bright stubble like chaff;
Till over by Dalhem a dome-splro sprang white,
And "Gallop," gasped Joris, "for Atx is in sight!" '?
"How they'll greet us!"?and all In a moment his roan
Rolled neck and croup over, lay dead as a stone;
And there was my Roland to hear tho wholo weight
Of tho news which alone could save Aix from her fate,
With bis nostrils liko pits full of blood to the brim,
And with circles of red for his eye-sockets' rim.
Then I cast loose my huff-coat, each holster let fal't
Shook off )K>th my jackboots, let go belt and; all,
stoofl up In tho stirrup, leaned, patted, his ear,
Called my Roland his pet name, my horse without peer
Clapped my hands, langhed and sung, any nolso, bad or good,
Till at length Into Aix Roland galloped and stood,
-And all I remember Is?friends flocking round,
As I sat with his head 'twlxt my knees on the ground;
And no voice but was praising this Roland of'mine,
Ak I poured down his throat our last measure of wine,

Death of Captain John U.
Montgomery.
KILLED BY A FALL.
High Bank Among Amer
ican Manufacturers.
Ills Bcrrlce8 as a Confederate Soldier
Liberal and Earnest Christian
Well Known Here.
Capt. John H . Montgamory of Spar
tanburg, president of the Paoolet Mills,
Sparten Mills and of the Mills at
Gainesville, Ga., suffered an accident
while in Gainesville Friday which re
rultcd In his death a few hours later.
Ho was standing on a sill about 16 feet
from the ground watching work on a
new building when he lost his balance
and fell to the cement floor beneath.
His skull was crushed. It is believed
that the fall was due to an attack of
vertigo or something similar. He was
09 years old.
Capt. Montgomery was perhaps bet
ter known than any other business man
in South Carolina and was regarded
tho most successful cotton spinner in
the South. Indeed some of the lead
ing dry goods authorities havo ranked
him at the head of the cotton spinners
of the whole country in ability. He
was a member of an old prominent
Spartanburg famil.y He was a man
who did his full duty in everything and
always with thoroughness. Ho was an
earnest, liberal and working Christian,
a deacon in the Baptist Church. In the
War he served four years faithfully for
the South, chiefly in the commissary
department, where his uncommon bus
iness talent made bim very valuable to
the army. His cotton career began In
1883 ar.d bl9 mills have all been re
markably successful.
He was well kno.vn in this county
and city. President Lucas of tho Lau
rens Mills attended his funeral Sunday.
He entered the Confederate Army in
Co. E? 18th S. C, and served for
awhile under Captain M. H. Ferguson.
Tho latter was here yesterday and
spoke in tho highest terms of the de
ceased gentleman's soldierly qualities.
The death of such a man who had
done so much for other men and had
wrought so ably for his state and coun
try and church Is a profound public
misfortune.

Contributing?Disposition to Hold
It in Perpetuity.
Tho directors of tho Alliance Ex
change held a meeting last week at
which it was decided to divide the
funds of the Alliance Exchange among
the Sub-Alliances.
The fund now amounts to about $18,
000 in cash and if tho division is mado
it is to go to the original contributors
to the Sub-Alliances. It is understood
that there aro certain members inter
ested who contend that it was never
intended for the fund to be distributed
and dissinated, but that it should bo
kept as a sacred fund for tho purpose of
keeping up an organization of tho
farmers.
As long ns they had a fund with
which to pay tho expenses of delegates
attending a representative body of
the fanners of tho State, itwnseasy
to koep up some organization, but
nothing liko a definite organization
can be kopt up unless there is a per
manent fund for thnt purpose.

Thoy can pay at this season if they
ever can pay. Most of tho subscribers
of Tiik advertiser arc people who do
pay.
Of courso bills will bo sent out as
usual. But it costs about three cents
to send out one bll! -not counting tho

a good deal of money.
As The Advertiser has said, it is
difficult to print a paper at $1. a year,?
it requires tho hardest kind of saving.
Therefore it is hoped that advertiser
