A HOME WEDDING. 1 Miss Margaret Bell Led to the Altar by Mr. Norwood L. Trulock. The quiet monotony of every 1 day life was agreeably interrupted 1 on Wednesday of last week by an * event of unusual interest in a so- 1 eial way in the marriage of Missi' Maggie liell of Indiantown to Air s Norwood Z Trulock of Quincy, s Fia. The marriage took place at J to vouirlttiwp nf ilip bride's lather, s [Mr J C Bel J, at 4 o'clock in the * 'afternoon, the ceremony being r performed by Kev G T Gresliam 11 of Manning. It was a very ijuiel ! i wedding but a thoroughly enjoy-jt [able one to all who were fortunate)! enough to be present. ' f Promptly at the appointed hour, 1 j Mr Robert Bell, a brother of the ' : bride,entered the parlor with .Miss t Ada Trulock and conducted her t | to ttie piano when the strains of c ti-nrlrtiiitr mareh ^ lucuuciaounu o . vuu...^ heralded the approeh of the bride e and groom, who immediately en- v lered attended bv Miss Laney r f*ell as bride's maid and Mr CI if- 1 ton Trulock as best man.

C., Nov 10 1902. Special?I' was the good fortune of the cadets fo attend the State Fair, li is useless to say that they ei joyed their visit to Columbia. lor thai can better be imajlKjed tlinn told. The only ocr-nrreiiefr-ln hi ir the trip was the unfortunate eia.-h between the cadets and the South v'-yolir.a college students. 'Ihis incident has already been fully discussed by the piess iiii?*u*xiiout the Stale, and 1 must ? ay in >? some erroneous statements ! <ve been made in re.zard to I tie ali\ir. However, as it has been .im.e.ibly settled by the students ol the two instituii >ns, I do not propose to further 1 well upmi tin* matter, except l<l >ay that the C e i .on students lee! lully just tied in their actions n regard to the affair. Col .1 S Newman, the Agriculturist, has lor many years been conducting extensive experiments with sweet 'potatoes relative to liscovering the* mo.-t economical! method ol preserving the potaoea He has tound that by boiliiir t..e potatoes until they are ihout two-thirds cooked, and dicing them in pieces about one noli in thickness, and allowing) hem to throughly dry, it packed J iuflicientlv to keep insects out,: hey will keep lor many years, j \ bulletin has recently been is-; lued which gire> a detailed de cription of the modus operandi 1'liose interested in potato culture I ihould communicate with Col. Newman, who will give them uuch use!ul information u]>on he subject. A iint 0.it- nv nnri iiiPiit which is' jein;r conducted and should be of! >aramonnt interest to farmers isj me connected with crossing cot-! on to introduce a long-staple up- j and variety. Under the direcion of the Experiment Station j lie sea island cotton has been \ irossed with the upland variety, j ind they have about succeeded in j tslablishing a fixed type. It the variety be produced successfully text year the seed will be dis-l ributed among the farmers of he Stale. In this variety, the; iber is much longer than in thoj ipland cotton, but not so long as; he sea island, and it is hoped i hat it will not degenerate, no natter how far it is planted from he coast. Should these experinents prove a success, without ioubt cotton growing in South Carolina will be completely revilutiouized, and the growers of he stap'e will be wonderfully! lenelited.
