Senator Latimer, it seems, does
not care to avow his support of the
,1 ? ? l.nt HAf A31 O
v^ioj'cuoai y, uui im'iiit juuicoic
against the discussion of this political
issue in the churches. The dispensafy
may well tremble when it is
talked about in the churches. - Ex.
It is stated that Neighbor George
Yanderbilt, of Biltmore, will abandon
farming at Biltmore, having
found it unprofitable. Either George
held no cotton for ten cents, or else
Uncle Sam's meddlesome agents have
caused a curtailment in the production
of corn in North Carolina.?Ex.
??
.
The evidence, the increasing evidence,
of stealing aud grafting in
this State is peculiarly pleasing to
' it
certain negro newspapers. And it is
quite natural thev should be diverted.
They have for so long been
hearing of the thriving carpetbaggers
and the corrupt negroes that
this realization that the "superior"
whites are developing into first class
grafters conies as sweet revenge.
Naturally, they gloat. And what
are we going to do about it? ile ognize
the fact that moral standards
are lost, wipe out the chief of the
corrupting influences, the dispensarv,
and then trv to get back to old
and higher stardards.?Ex.
Russia Playing for Time,
There appears to I* some doubt
as to the outcome of the Russo-Jap
anese peace negotiations, to be conducted
next month at Portsmouth,
New Hampshire. A Paris newspaper
reports that Sergius Witte,
the chief of the CzarV plenipotenti-1
aries, is convinced that these negotiations
will not last more than'
three weeks, it being taken for grant-i
ed that the Japanese demands will j
not prove acceptable.
The longer the Czar postpones the
making of peace, whatever the terms
that shall be demanded bv the Jap-'
anese, the worse for him and his
armies. With the Russian navy
driven from the seas and the Rus?
muii uiuiic0 ucxctxwtrtx in v?ci > miportant
and serious engagement of
the war, and Russian internal
troubles increasing every day, the
Japanese certainly have nothing to
fair if, in the opinion of the Russian
plenipotentiaries, a continuance
of the war shall be preferred to the,
making of peace on such terms as
the Japanese shall propose. We do
not know, of course, with what instructions
Witte shall come to the
peace conference, but for the sake of
humanity, it is hoped taat the Czar
w ill not insist upon a lesumption of
hostilities. The Japanese are very
.if their t"ieniv :i!itl it is
not To htr seriously believed that they
will permit tik- Russians to obtain
tW letter of them in ;Jje negotiation*

MARRIED IN
LAKE CITY
MAKKIAUE UK MISS IKIIH ANU UK.
JENNICGS. THE LAnER OE BISHOPVILLE.
Lake City, July '2'i.?Special:
The must interest!nil social event t?f
the season was the marriage of Dr
Larkin Hamilton Jennings and
Miss Maria Croft, which took place
at the home of the hride Wednesday
1 afternoon it 5 o'clock.
1 >r Jennings is a popular young
physician of Bishopville, and Miss
Croft is the pretty and stylish stepdaughter
of Mr John M Sturgeon,
a well known merchant and hotel
keeper of tiii-. town. Miss (holt is
well educated and accomplished.
The festivities began with the reception
Tuesday evening from 8 to
12 o'clock. This was given by Mi
and Mrs John M Sturgeon and was
,jattended hv the luiual party and
some of their f riends, among whom
were several of t la- most prominent
gentlemen and ladies of Bishopville
and Lake City. Those assenihh^
wore made to on joy themselves f ?y
the urbane host and fascinating Hostess
in . tlieii well known tactful
i style. The supper room, to which
all were invited at 10 o'clock, was
indeed a tiling of beauty, and pity
'lis that it could not Ik- a joy forever.
Tlie color scheme, which was carried
on,t to tlie minutest detail, was
white and green. The table decorations
left nothing to be desired.
From the brilliant chandelier, which
was suspended directly over the
centre of the table and lighted up
every nook and corner of the large
room, a streamer of broad white
ribbon went to each corner of the
table and to the center of the sides.
Opposite the spaces between the
plates were candles of gieen wax.
White bride's Jroses and asparagus
and maiden hair ferns were arranged
in tasteful and delightful manner
over the table. White and green
prevailed throughout, all in the
most delightful harmony. The bride's
cake was a massive circle in wnite
icing upon which were a number of
; cylinders, all white, in an ascending
series, the whole crowned with
a magnificent white rose. The
! waiters were four charming girls in
in white from tip to toe. They
' were: Misses Eloiso Sturgeon, Sallie
Bass, Julia Sturgeon and Manette
1 McElveen. These young Hebes flitted
from one to another, dispensing
the delicious viands of the board.
These were the salads and meats,
fruits, ices, creams, etc.
The marriage took place Wednesday
afternoon. The room in which
it took place is a large one, and is
octagonal at one end. Across the I
room where this octagonal portion
joins the long sides a large white
arch was erected. Around and over
this vines were tastefully hung. The
floor was covered with a snowy white
carpet The walls were decorated
with white ribbons end gre?*n ferns
and vints. On the tables were vases
of white carnations and ferns. Each
couple on reaching the front of the
arch,-separated and passing around 1
the sides, came together again from i
the bacK in the opening, and march- I
ing through the opening, took their
places facing each other on opposite
sides of the arch.
The attendants were: Mr George
St lie key of Bishopville, and Miss
Leonie lennings, of Sumter: .Mr
R E Pennis of Rishopville, and
Miss Bertha Vorri- of Lake City;
Mr H W Woodward of HisRopville,
and Miss Alice Williams <?f Lake
City.
The tirst to enter were the bride |
gio>m with Mr < b-o Stuckey. They
Were followed by Mr . tenuis and
Miss Morris, Mr Woodward and
Miss Williams. Then eanie the
bride with Miss .Jennings. The
chief actors met under "the arch,
whejv.facing the center of the room,
th"\' were made man and wife.
Tin* ceremony, brief, simple and |
very impressive, was performed by
the Rev N B Clarkson, of Allot, j
who was for. a number of years a J
resident of this town, and was the
bride's pastor.
()ne of the most attractive features j'
of the happy occasion was the music.'
This was furnished by Miss Hern ice; I
Jiinnant, who is an accomplished j
pianist. While the different members
of the bridal parties were tak-j'
ing their respective places, the fa- <
iuous wedding march from "Lolieti- j
grin"' was rendered. This was fol- |
lowed by "The Melody of Love," i
during tile marriage ceremony, at'
the conclusions of which there jj
burst forth the "Saint a Pestli/'lj
Knowalski.

iderson .1 letter in regard to the ef
j feet of thr prohibition ion in
| that county and after speaking ,,t
; the time untler the dispensary law, j
saying that their dispensaries were;
run by good men who kept the law,
he says:
; Drunkeiiess could he seen here almost
every day, our j?o ice court was!
|constantly trying ca--s of Shttrik
and disorderly," but that has ceased
and only in rare instances can one
Uee a man under the inlluetice of
mjqtior. Our criminal courts were'
always augmented hy the fact that :
j in almost every jinstanee every case, j
| from assault and battery to murder, I
I was directly attributed to liquor.
Within one year before the .dispensaries
were \oted out, five white I
men (in three cases) were tried foi l
killing their man, other white men,
and whiskey was back of it all, the'
direct and controlling cause.
"I might mention other instances >
of the evil effects of the liquor, but
every one is familiar with it. But
as to the conditions since the dis
pensary was voted out here: Our po- I
lice court has not the okl familiar
|
gases of "drunk and disorderly" to,
dispose of. It has practically ceased.
Om streets arc clear of the drunken,
reeling men; our road ways are free
from drunken brawls our people are
happier and have more money to
spend for something to eat and to
wear?in fret the difference is so
noticeable, and results so ben*
eficial that any one who has doubts
is to the proper way to vote on the
question would never hesitate if they,
could really see us as we are, but j
wlieu the time came would vote 'no !
dispensary", and as of ten as an op-!
portunity presented itself. In round
numbers $100,000 was spent in this
country for liquor annually, and on
-.C ,L.l
Ui mill- .liuwu III. ?l >111 giaan ..IV i
came back to the taxpayers; so you I
will see that, at least, with a very
liberal allowance for purchases that
must he made elsewhere $95,000 of!
the $100,000 is here among a sober
people.
''A strong moral sentiment of oni
people active and vigilant police officers,
magistrates who aid in rhe
enforcement of the laws, a sheriff al- J
ways determined?'a blind tiger'!
cannot operate in this country any j
length of time. In short, the moral I
. , , i
condition of our people is infinitely !
better than it was when we had the
dispensaries.
"There was one thing noticeable
in the vote again st the dispensary
the largest percentage of the vote
was cast by the mill operatives and
the farmers, and so many told me '
since that the beneficial results to i
|
them were beyond measure.
