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

WOUND PROVED FATAL.
Frank Fleming, Colored, Who Was Shot ]
Several Days Ago, Dead.
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

TO BUILD CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Daughters of the Confederacy of Cross
Hill Moving Spirit.
The 'women of Cross Hill, banded to
gether as Daughters of the Confed
eracy, are making a splendid effort to
build a Confederate Monument. These
ladies are among the most energetic
workers in this or any county. Tho town
of Cross Hill is a thriving, pushing
town which has made remarkable
strides in the last fifteen years. Its
women arc largely responsible for this
advancement and when they erect
their monument as they undoubtedly
will in the near future, they will. have
the honor of erecting the first Confed
erate monument in this county and
will probably be the smallest town to
erect one in the State. The officers of
the chapter are Miss Theresa Daven

vice-presidant; Miss Mary Boyce, re
cording secretary; Miss Edith "Ander

Death of Centeriarian.
Greenvillk. Nov. 16.?Mrs. Anne
Bumbaloo died here this morning in
the one hundred and eighth year of her
age. She was born before George
Washington died. She was a native of
Gwinnett county, Ga., and was twenty
years of age when the Seminole Indians
attacked her family and killed her fa
ther and mother and took her brother |
captive.
Mrs. Bumbaloo retained her memory
and mental activity until within a few
hours of her death and talked inter
estingly of the old days. She was an
old woman when the Civil War began.
There is no doubt that she was one of |
the oldest inhabitants in this country.
Her family is noted for longevity. The
interment will take place at Greenwood,

Product of Mills.
The product in one day of the Long
man & Martinez great works is enough
to paint every house and everything
made of wood in a city with the L. &
M Paint.
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.
