A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE,
Miss Rath Nettles Becomes the
. Bride ol Mr. R. W. Lewis.
The Kingstree Baptist church presented
a most attractive appearance
last night. Its pews were filled
with Kingstree's citizens, the rostrum
was tastily decorated with
palms, ferns and flowers and the
hundreds of electric lights shed a
radiant glow over the auditorium.
It was thu occasion of the first wed
dine to be celebrated within its
walls, and the contracting parties
were Miss Ruth Gordon Nettles to
Mr Richard William Lewis.
The bride is the third daughter of
Mr and Mrs Samuel A Nettles, and
is one of Kingstree's most popular
and beloved young ladies, while the
groom is a popular young merchant
of the town and is regarded as one
of its most progressive businessmen.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev B J Woodward of Holly Hill,
who is an old and special friend of
the bride's family.
The ushers were Messrs Wallace
Mcintosh, Clarence Alsbrook, Lawrence
Swails and Carlisle Myrick.
The bride entered the church and
approached the altar on the arm of
the groom, to the strains of Mendelssohn's
wedding march played by
Miss Mabel Harper. She was becomingly
attired in a coat suit of
midnight blue taffeta, with hat and
gloves to match and carried a large
bouquet of white carnations and
ferns, this in keeping with the col*
??
or scneme cameu out iu mc ucw
rations.
The presents received by the bride
were numerous and valuable, attesting
the high esteem in which she is
held by a large circle of friends. On
account of the illness of the groom's
brother, Mr Laurie Lewis, a wedding
trip had to be postponed.
The Record extends congratulations
and best wishes for a long and
happy life to this young couple.

CLASH IN MEXICO.
No Figures of Either American
or Mexican Losses.
Washington, June 21:?Gen Funston
reported late tonight that he
had received official confirmation of
I a clash between (Jarranza and Amer|
ican troops early today near Carrizal,
Mexico. He had no details of the
incident, however, except those provided
by Mexican officials at Juarez.
Gen Funston transmitted to the
war department the following report
from Gen Bell at El Paso:
"There was a clash this morning
at Carrizal, near Villa Ahumada, between
Carranza and American troops,
in which Gen Gomez and other Mexicans
were killed, the number unknown.
Number of Americans killed
or wounded unknown.
"Gen Gomez sent a captain with
an order to the American commander
to go back, but the American
commander said he wasgoing to Villa
Ahumada and opened fire on the
Mexican captain, wounding him.
Americans attacked Gen Gomez, but
were thrown back.
"Prisoners were sent to Chihuahua.
"Garcia says this was telephoned
at request of Gen Gonzales.
"An American who was on the
train today passing Villa Ahumada
at 2:30 o'clock said he saw several
dead Mexicans put on his train,
among them a dead Mexican general.
There were also several Mexicans
wounded. He gathered from
talk there that the fight was with
American cavalry nine miles west
and that the Americans were decoyed
into a trap by the use of a Mexican
flag of truce and they were then
fired upon by machine guns. Report
states our troops engaged were
the Tenth cavalry."
Cotton Blossoms Received.
The first real full blown cotton
blossoms to make their appearance
in Kingstree this season were those
sent in Friday by Messrs J P Gamble
of Heinemann and R HPittmanof
Suttons. The one sent by Mr Gamble
was plucked from a 25-acre field
which bids fair to yield a bale to the
acre. The one brought in by Mr
moo Ku Vfolt"An
i lltlliau VY ao piuuavcu WJ mvivvm
Brown,a colored farmer on Mr Pittman's
Gourdin place.
Saturday we received a perfect
blossom from Sylvester Gamble at
Lane.
Tuesday's morning's mail brought
us seven more pretty pink blossoms:
one from a 20-acre field of Mr H S
Gamble; one from a 35-acre field of
Jackson Montgomery, Salters; one
from a 13-acre field of H J Barfield,
Lane; one from a 30-acre field of J
I Morris; one each from the farms
of J H Burkett and the Williamsburg
Development Co at Bryan,raised
by W H Driggers; one from the
farm of J B Files, Trio.
Lizzie Burgess, a colored woman
farmer of the Mouzon section, also
brought us two perfect blossoms
Tuesday morning from her 6-acre
field which she and her fourchildren
work. Lizzie appears to be a hustler,
says she is "ahead of the debt"
and takes care of her sick husband
and hopes to make good this season.
She is also a subscriber to The Record.
Yesterday morning's mail brought
in blossoms from the 12-acre field of
C D Cottingham at Salters. the 70acre
farm of E S Shirer, Lane, and
from the field of W J Lucas, Sut
was.
Though a bale of new cotton has
been marketed in Texas, we have not
read of any earlier blossoms in South
Carolina than nave been reported to
The Record. And considering the
j backset received by the staple early
I in the season, we are of the opinion
.it has simply "got up and hustled"
since more seasonable weather s?t in.
Private Robert J Kirk, Jr. of the
Florence Rifles, was notified by the
War Department last night of his
appointment to a lieutenancy in the
Philippine Constabulary at a salary
of $100 per month. Mr Kirk, however,

Tlie three-game series between
the Rod Sox and the Dillon team
came to a finis yesterday afternoon
by a shutout for the locals, which
gave the visitors two games out of
the series.
The Red Soxjjplayed good hall,
hut the Dillonites proved the strong-.
erteam. When the game started
Monday it looked for a short while
as if the home team would have j
things entirely theii own way, and
nearly every man up made a hit.
When the first inning closed three
tallies were scored. At the end of
the second, however, Dillon -manager
realized that his pitcher was
weak. Thorpe was taken out of
the l?ox and Peeler -uih-Uituted. Tiii'hange
turned the game in Dill<>n*s
favor by a score of 7 to :>.

Tuesday's game started off in a I |
very similar manner to that of Mon-1
day, the locals scoring three runs in \
the first, Betsill held the visitors!
down to two runs until the sixth,!
when he weakened and was hit forj
three scores in the seventh. The'
boys had little trouble in finding!
Bland and succeeded in scoring
eight runs. Simpson relieved Betsill
in the box in the eighth and
Dillon failed to increase her runs.

The fielding of Tyson and Johnson
featured the game.
Yesterday's game was a one-sided
affair from the very start. The
home team played fairly good hall,
but seemed to be in hard luck. Dillon's
hitting easily won the game.
