thirty o’clock. The impressive

white candles in branched can

best man.
The lovely brunette bride
was given in manage by her
father, Charlie A. Force, Sr.
Her brunette loveliness was en
hanced by her dress of white
bridal satin, featuring a yoke
off marquisette, fitted bodice
fastened with self-covered but
tons at the back and long
sleeves ending in points over
the hands. The skirt which
was made of ruffled lace and
satin extended into a train.
Her fingertip veil of illusion,
which was bordered with lace,
:ascaded from a coronet of
orange blossoms. She carried
a white satin prayer book top
ped by a purple-throated orchid
hung with satin streamers

Seen Along
The Roadside
Ety J. M. Eleazer
Notes on my first night flight
that started from the V/est
coast a while after sundown:
O magic fairyland below!
Stil a fading light lingers along
the western * rim. Deep dark
ness holds the east, save for
a few stars that have ventured
out and splotches and spangles
of lights far below. Our dark
ness is broken only by the
snorting stream of fire that
pours from our roaring motors.
Sweet music that, with wild
mountains and valleys a mile
or so below. Soon it is all
blackness—no stars above, no
lights below, only the reassur
ing fire from the motors casts
a dull gleam outside.
We roar on in the darkness,
headed east, sailing as smoothly
as if we were sitting on the
ground. At length now we
have emerged from the clouds.
The stars sparkle in the black
night. The fading light that
lingered in the west is gone,
and a slight lightness grows on
the horizon in the east. I am
to see a spectacle 1 have long
ed for, the rising of a full
moon from the air. I watch
it grow. Light soon marks
the earth’s rim, and it soon
turns to fire at a spot. The
moon is coming up. And how
it now pushes the darkness
back and bathes the western
mountains with soft light!
Into this realm of night we
are boring our way, onward
and onward. States and moun
tain ranges slide below us, and
we can begin to make out
things on the ground again,
for the air is clear. We are
making over four miles a min
ute, for there is a tail wind.
Immediately after the cere
mony the reception was given
by th e bride’s parents at the
Oregon Hotel. Mrs. J. Y. Mc-
Fall of Greenville grandmother
of the bridegroom. received
with the wedding party and
parents of the bride and bride
groom.
During the evening the bride
changed to a blue tailored suit
with fur coat and off-the-face
fur hat. Mr. and Mrs. Toohey
then left for a wedding trip to
Sea Island Ga. and upon their
return will live in Greenville.
Mrs. Toohey graduated from
Greenwood high school and
will graduateat the end of this
semester at Furman University,
Greenville. She has been ma
jorette for the Furman band
and was business manager for
The Bonhomie, Furman year
book.
Mr. Toohey is a veteran of
navy service and attended Fur
man University. He is now in
business with his father in
Greenville.
Riding the wind and air, that’s
us tonight! Witches of the
night are we. As a kid I did
this in fancy, as flights of im
agination took me through the
skies. (
Going towards that moon, it
rises fast, a fourth faster at
the speed we are going. Now
it is above the slight mists of
earth, and it’s getting up here
where we are. It dims the
stars. And the glow from our
motors fades out, as mellow
light fills the void of infinite
space in which we fly up here
between earth and eternity.
This is a soothing place, away
from the world. Would like to
just hang up here and let the
earth turn beneath us, and
then come down in China to
morrow. But we can’t do that.
This thing weighs tons, and
there are close to 50 of us on
it. All the rest are asleep,
and only I sit here and marvel.
Those mighty motors out there
can’t go on forever. But how
sweetly they are purring now!
Thev will descend after hours
up Here in the outer spaces and
renew their power for other so
journs in the ether.
Hold a minute. That’s enough
lest I tire you. For the thing
goes on and on. I must get
to something else. I already
feel like I’m back in the air, as
I sit here and copy this from
my air notes.
The outlook for cotton is
not good.
A dangerous surplus is piling
up. And synthetics grow by
the hour. A half-dozen multi
million dollar plants for mak
ing fine and useful things out
of synthetics have sprung up
in this state alone in the last
year or two. And more is
coming.
I am told that a new cotton
mill hasn’t gone up in one of
our largest textile counties in
a quarter of a century.
So we see that the two great
staples of the past, cotton and
wool, are losing some of their
monopoly. Added millions are
to be fed and clothed on this
earth each year. Synthetics
are helping with the latter of
these. But on the first one,
food, there is no satisfactory
substitute for a beef steak, ham
and eggs, or a loaf of bread.
So here we have another
reason for diversifying our
farm so as to include livestock
and foodstuffs. Humanity has
never taken to synthetic foods,
while synthetic fibers grow in
volume and favor by the day.
Grass, and cattle, and hogs,
and poultry, and lespedeza, and
grain sorghum, and grain, and
winter cover, and soil saving,
and soil building, and tree
farming should be finding their
way into the plans of every
farm. At least some, if not
all, of those signs of a new day
in farming here should be seen
cropping out on every farm.
And when some of those things
get intelligently entrenched.

Tenancy has been pronounced
the curse of the land.
It is heartening to see that
this situation is improving in
South Carolina. Dr. Rochester,
our economist, tells me that
since 1930 farm ownership has
increased 23 per cent in- South
Carolina. And, naturally, ten
ancy has gone down a like am
ount.
Good times have helped a
lot with this. So has the farm
ownership policy of our gov
ernment. Through the Farm
ers Home Administration (for
merly Farm Security) farms
have been bought for 2,790
South Carolina tenants in re
cent years. They were fin
anced on a basis suited to farm
needs, and these former tenants
had 40 years to pay for their
farms. Yet in these few years
722 have paid for their in full,
and hundreds of others are
far ahead on their payments.
Almost half of the total pur
chase money with interest has
been paid in less than a fifth
of the time that these loans
were made for.
