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. When t
the solem words of the man ot f
God had been spoken the young 1
couple were *he recipients of 1
warm words of felicitation from 1
every one present, soon after r
which the bridal party and their 1
guests were invited to the dining r
room where an elegant and elab
orate spread awaited them?a t
veritable least of gastronomic c
dainties. I

THE CADETS V.SIT TO THE
STATE FAIR.
SoVr.e Intoresiine: Experiments That
Promise Great Result*- -Mr.
Mabie's Lecture.
Olkmkon Coi.i.egi:, S. 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.
