J 5 * Two Valuable Documents to Be 1 Had lor the Asking. < $ To Rural School Principals and ! Teachers:* - .. r ] The I nited Males department i?t? ' 4* |] -agriculture has recently issued two i , . bulletins of universal interest to ru- 1 xal teachers. They have been pre- ; pared by Ltick J Crosby and F W ' % Howe, specialists in agricultural ed- 1 ucation, and are entitled "School ' * Lessons on Corn" and "School Exer-j1 cises in Plant Production". These ' bulletins arc based on the sensible ' , assumption that the chiid is prima- : rily interested in the practical and ; l experimental side of any science and : that an^ general interest in agricul- 1 ? ture will bo the result of some spec- 1 ' ial agricultural experiment in which 1 he may be engaged. Three thousand boys in South Carolina this year raised an acre of ( corn. Many of them will receive the 1 diploma awarded by the State board |1 | / of education for producing seventy- j five bushels per acre. We confidently j3 ? i i. j.. i ] expect five tnousanu ooys 10 lsnc S^rt in the corn contest next year. ' ^ Tme air is full of corn talk. The * K:her of South Carolina should 1 e a part in extending^his move- 1 it and should use this acute spec- 1 nterest as a means of teaching eral agriculture. . / -? !- _ j 1 nrougn me KinuneNs ui mc uc* I ^ptment of agriculture and the ( H^^Kurtesy of Senator Tillman,Mr W K H^nate, State Supervisor of ElementaHBry Rural Schools,has 5,000 copies of these bullet; ns for distribution.

Scranton,October 29:?A wedding of more than local interest took place j at the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon.October 2f>.when MissAddiei Beatrice Cannon of Scranton and Drl Charles Prue Benson of Travellers" j Rest, S C. were united in marriage, j The ceremony was performed by Rev Willie J Truluck, the bride's pastor. The Baptist church here is one of the most ancient in the State, and the decorations for the occasion under the supervision of Mrs W S Lynch, assisted by Miss Fannie Cannon, the bride's sister, were possibly the most elaborately detailed ever seen here. A general color scheme, effected with Southern smilax and white chrysanthemums, studded with pink and golden chrysanthemums, inclosed the chancel. Garland> of the same reached from the centre to. outer walls, and en twined the central column. The pulpit recess, covered with smilax and asparagus ferns, furnished a green background. A few pot plants were dexterously arranged. The lights >hone softly through pink and yellow shades. Before the entrance of the jridal party Mrs Mamie G Palmer sang with much sweetness and expression "Hearts and Flowers," 'Oh, Promise Me," and "To ,the End of the World with You." As the Mendelssohn's march came in sweetest accents from the skilful touch of Miss Florence Barnwell, little Misses Lu.a Joe Wall and Nell Cannon ipened the gates to the chancel for the bridal party in the following order: Misses Rosa Lee Carter and Jessie Ham. clad in pink silk, with ace and satin trimmings, carrying pink carnations and ferns, Misses Daisy Benson and Mary Sue Carter, n cream silk, with lace and satin . .. irimmings, carrying wmte carnations and f?rns, Misses Maggie Catherine McCall and Hessie Elizabeth Graham, in pink silk, trimmed with lace and satin, carrying bouquets of ferns and carnations. The rqaid of honor, Miss Kannie Cannon, rearing a hand-painted dress of :ream silk and carrying a wreath of ?olden wedding chrysanthemums. Little Misses Mary Olive Lynch and Marion Beatrice Lee scattered flowers in the aisle. The bride, robed in white satin, with pearls, wearing a :ulie veil, held in place by orange blossoms, and carrying a shower bouquet of bride's roses, entered on ;he arm of her uncle, Mr R B Can* ion. The groom, in opposite aisle, :ame in with his brother, Prof W W Benson; then came the pages, Mas;ers Bascome Palmer and Robert E j&t,dressed in white satin suits. The ishers, Messrs Dallas L Jones, L H McCullough, Sam H Husbands and fohn Morgan Timmons, Jr, drew the ibbon closing the aisle. Immediately following the cerenony.a brilliant reception was teulered by Mr and Mrs R B Cannon ind their lovelv home was never )rettier than for this occasion. The bride is a daughter of Mr and Virs T J Cannon, formerly of Effinglam, and is a young lady whose graces of mind and heart, added to ler general disposition, have attached to herself friends wherever she is mown. Dr Benson is a recent gradlate of medicine, and his affable nanner has attracted to him a host >f admiring friends. The young >eople received many useful and tandsome presents, which attest the ligh esteem in which both are hel<J. )n the 6:45 evening train the young ouple left for Greenville, Ridge Springs and other points,where they vill visit relatives before going to Atlanta, Ga, their future home.

The drinkers of bottled coca cola in this town had something last week that tends to turn the stomachs of some of them against the bottled beverage. It was the finding of a dead rat in one of the bottles of this beverage that was in the original bottle, just as it came from the bottlers. The presence of the rodent was not discovered until a local cf1 -fier opened the bottle to serve to a t <tomer. Then the startling discovei* was made. It is pnTbable that the rat was in the house where the stuff is bottled and that it crawled into the bottle when empty and could not get out again. It was not seen when the bottle was used, and consequently his majesty, the rat. went to season the drink and make it have a different aj>!>earance to what it was intended .?liranchville Journal.

Mrs :vl S Montgomery, Railroad Ave, King&tree, S C, says: "i can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills highly in return for the great beneiit 1 received from their use. I had a lamenesss across my loins and such severe backaches that I could not turn in bed. Mornings on arising, I was so lame and sore that I could hardly diess myself and it required a considerable effort for me to get about. That my kidneys were out of order was shown by the unnatural appearance of th^ secretions. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Scott's drug store, not only drove away the backache but restored my kidneys to a normal condition.'' For sale by all dealers. Price CO cents.
