WALKER-?BRADIIAM. A Beautiful Weddinj at Enoree?Many Laurens People Attend. A brilliant social event at which a number of Laurena people were guests was the marriage on last Wednesday evening of Miss Mary Sue Walker, the beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Walker of Enoree to Mr. H. H. Bradham of Manning. The marriage was solemnized in the Methodist Church at Enoree in the presence of a great throng of guests, the church having been handsomely and artistically de corated under the direction of Mrs. Frans Engte. The bride was attended by a lovely group of bridesmaids as fol lows; Miss May Calvert of Spartan burg, Miss Mabel Cauble of Green ville, Miss Gertrude Bradham of Man ning, Miss Andrella Buchanan of Eno ree, Miss Lillian Sullivan of William ston, Miss Jessie Hix of Laurens and Miss Dorothy Oakman of Pittsfteld, Mass., the first braidesmaid. The bride entered with her sister and Maid of Honor, Miss Ellie Walker, the groom with his best man, Mr. Alvah Sublett of Summerton. The ushers were Messrs. Frank Barren, George Tindal and M. T. Wells of Manning and Will Cleveland of Enoree. Miss Louise Walker, the bride's little sister, pre ceded the wedding party as flower girl, while Master Henry Bennett, the handsome little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Bennett, of Laurens, bore the wed ding ring. The bride was very beauti ful in an elegant wedding gown of white satin, her veil being caught back with lillies of the valley, while the bridal bouquet was of white carnations. The Maid of Honor wore an exquisite costume of white lace over blue silk. The bridesmaids wore pretty costumes of china silk, two appearing in pink, two in blue, two in yellow, each maid carrying one huge chrysanthemum, tied with streamers of tulle. After the ceremony, which was per formed by Rev. Mr. Burns, the bridal party and a large number of wedding guests repaired to the home of the bride's parents, where an elegant re ception was held. Mr. and Mrs. Brad ham are :!at home" to their friends in Manning, where Mr. Bradham is en gaged in business. The bride has many friends in this city, where she spent some years of her childhood and where she has frequently visited since she has grown into a lovely and lovable wo man. Congratulations and good wishes from scores of their friends here follow Mr. and Mrs. Bradham to their home at Manning. Comments on Cotton. In all bei iousness and in behalf of the great cotton industry of the south, we propound this question: If cotton should advance to 15 cents per pound, will Mr. Jordan be willing that farm ers should sell for that price or would he then advise the holding for 20 cents? Three months ago, at the meeting of the executive committee of the cotton growers' association, it was figured that the yield would be in the neigh borhood of 9,500,000 bales. On that basis a price of 11 cents was fixed. Now cotton has gone up around 11 cents and it is generally agreed that the yield is about 10,000,000 bales. On that showing Mr. Jordan advises hold ing for 15 cents? Where is the strength of his position? The men at the head of this movement must be consistent and must look ahead. We do not wish to encourage England and Germany to extend their experimentp of cotton growing to Africa. Do not kill the goose. "That government report on the 'condition of the cotton crop picked last August shows that the department, with all its faults, has the saving grace of humor."?New York Commercial. Let us be just to the department of agriculture. The cotton crop was not picked in August; nor will all be picked in November. The "condition" of the crop, Mr. Cheatham to the contrary notwithstanding, may be materially changed during the month of October. The weather and the period at which killing frosts come are most important factors. Particularly is this the case in heavy lands of the lower sections of the cotton belt. The condition in Octo ber and November may readily influ ence the crop a half million bales one way or the other. If there had been general rains during the first half of October and a general killing frost about the 16th of that month there would be no complaint if the depart ment's November report showed a de terioration in condition. We of the south can afford to make our fight for better prices for cotton and for fair dealing on fair, square lines. And that method of campaigning will produce better results in the long run.?The Co lumbia State. Don't pay $1.20 a gallon for oil be cause labeled mixed paint. Oil only costs 60 cents a gallon.

Frank Fleming, the colored boy, who | was shot by his cousin, John Johnson, about ten days ago, died Wednesday night as the result of the wound. The shooting took place on East Main street and is claimed to have been purely accidental. A party of negroes j who were working in the city had started home just at nightfall. Johnson insisted on showing off his pistol to the other boys in general and Fleming in particular. In some manner the pistol was fired and Fleming fell. He was shot in the mouth and the ball ranged to the back of the neck. He lingered several days and is said to have told number of people that the shooting was an accident. After Fleming's death Johnson was arrested and lodged in jail. He will probably get bail in few days. Terrific Race With Death. "Death wa< fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampav Fla., describing i.is fearful race with death, as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had triea many different doctors and sev eral medicines but got no benefit until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I felt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles.'' Guar anteed at Laurens Drug Co. and Pal metto Drug Co.

In use thirty years; several houses painted with L. & M. L. & M. costs about $1.20 per gallon. The L. & M. is the best and cheap est, because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens the L. & M. White Lead, and makes it fiaint more surface and wear a longer ime than any other paint. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. It only requires 4 gallons of this cele brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at 60 cents per gallon to paint a moderate sized house. Therefore a property owner ought not pay $1.60 per gallon for Linseed Oil, which he must do when a ready-for-use paint is bought. L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon. W. L. Boyd, Laurens, S. C.
