The hiappy l'eolple th en repaired to the receltion room where they received the congratlai itions of the many friendlws present. The bridei was lovely :11 a lianidsomle gown of chiffon ovor ivory satin. The gra fully draped veil was caught with a wreath of orange blossoms. The bride's bouquet was of exquisite chrysanthe mums. After receiving congratulations the bridal party and guests were in vited to the dining room where a boun tiful repast awaited them. The decor ations in the dining room carried out the color scheme of green and white.

GRAIN CAMPAIGN HALTS FOR WEEK (Continued from Page One.) in a kind of comatose condition, while the tiue for putting in grain Is pass lng with every hour. Bankers and 1nerchants here and there just senm to be waiting and in aln uncertain frame of mtind. "I an deoply disappointed and greatly surprised to find that the aiount of grain actually planted to date and the acreage prepared for grain is a more bagatello compared to what it ought to be. Undoubtedly, without any agitation, there will be more grain planted than ever before, but that is saying very little. The tour of the Piedmont was particular ly disappointing to every one in the party. No real start has yet been made there as a rule. The opportu nity does not seem to be understood, antd cotton seemts to be tho shattered backbone of the agriculture there. Laurens county appears to have more grain actually sown and u'y and more land prepared for grain than any county we have visited. There Is more evidence of activity from Colum-' bia up to Laurens than it any other section, though Suliter county is get ting busy. "Hopelessly Passive." '.''The people, except in certai lo calities-and this refers to all classes, scm so hopelessly passive tinder the blow dealt to cotton by the war that they donl't eveni coile out to the meet iugs as they ought to. I don't knoy to wal. extent we are going to he able to rouse thei !roni this i:ivlty. The pity of it Is that their opportu nt , ty to :1eve , r losses is :is) st slipping Away. We have learned much of eonditions in the State. It is manifest that the greatest profit In the Piedmont country is from tite planting of wheat on the stiff red clay lands and from oats otn the sand soils. The same thing 1.9 true of the lower coun ties, 'wheat, being planted on the best lands and oats ott tle other. Very little is known as to preparation of soil and as to the planting of wheat in many sections, and tie Idea that wheat and grain are now and will I) money crops has not even occurred to banker. sup ply merchant or farmer dyed in the cotton as they are. "'While what I've said may seei pessimistic, I want to say I amf still aln optimist, for I can not helieve that our bankers and merchants, if they ever hope to get. whati s owing theim now, and the farmers if they ever ex pect to get out of this mess we are ill now, will be so blind that they cant not. see whither tite planting of cotton, costing il cents a pound to raise it, to be sold at from 4 to .7 cents in 1915, will land them, while, with grain, for which there is tite greatest demand the world has ever known, they can produce a crop of real profit, almost without fertilizer, at the lowest expenditure for cultivation and labor, harvest it mnontis earlier than anybody else cait do it, and find a ready mar'ket both at home and abroad. 'If we do thte right thintg now plantt grhin, 1put1 it htogs andi pouitry andi winter gardens-antd (10 it in timte, thte cotton we hlave now ont htantd, not yet sacrificed, may yet be saved; we will bttild up a new well lbalalncedl ag riculture protecting us against atli (11s asters to otte crop and b~y thte mtidd of 1915 recovetr our financial equilib riunm and perhtaps be better off thant ever before.
