Lemmon at 5 o'clock, on the afternoon of November tho four? teenth, at the home of the bride's father, Mr. W. T. Hrogdon. of Brug don. Only a few relatives and in? tim? te fronds witnessed the cere? mony, which was impressively con lucted by Re?, J. 1'. Marion, pastor of the 1'resbMerian church of Sumter. The reception hall and two front parlors were thrown into one and arranged with potted plunts, smilux and roses, the softened light mak? ing a very pretty effect. An arch of net work and asparagus fern out? lined with flickering tapers in pink ros* s. representing an open fan and surrounded by palms and ferns, form? id a lovely back ground in tho large bay window of the parlor. Hero, un? der a bower of smllax intertwined with roses and beneath a delicate pink tulle lovers' knot, the two were united in the holy bonds of matri? mony. The bride appeared strikingly handsome as she descended the stair? way. 1 ecomingiy attired in a dark blue traveling suit, with a hat to correspond, and carrying an equisite bouquet of bride's roses. She was met at the foot of the stairs by the groom and on his arm entered the parlor, where the family and guests were assembled. After the c remony delightful re? freshments were served. The same color scheme, pink und w hite, was car? ried out here too. l>r. I?emmon is a well known young physician, who has been practicing in Sumter fi>r the past several years, and a host of friends attest his popu? larity. Or. and Mrs. l.emm<>n left on the fj train for a stay of several weeks in Washington and New York, before returning to their future home in Sumter. The Downtrodden Farmer. An Ottawa man heard that a farm? er wanted to sell a motor car. He sympathized with the poor farmer ?nd his family because tbey were forced to part with the machine for flnanclal reasons, he believed, and went out to the farm to buy It. Tho farmer was not at home, but hie daugh? ter was there. "i came out to buy four car,' he said. "Which one?" Uked the girl.- Kansas City Star. Jack and Bean.

Qlowlng sulogisa wore paid to the departed brother lawyer and the resolutions presented to the court by the committee were ordered by Judge Spain to he spread on the minutes of the court and thai a copy of the resolutions he sent the family of the deceased. The work of cou: t was discontinued for the afternoon when Col. U. D. Lee, president of the association, arose and in eloquent words announc? ed that memorial services would he held during the afternoon in honor of Mr. C. Capers Smith, lately a mem? ber of the Sumter Far Association. At thS close of the exercises court was adjourned for the rest of the day in honr of Mr. Smith. C 1. Loe paid a high tribute to the memory of Mr. Smith and in Utting words pictured something of the work in Sumter of Mr. Smith. He then announced that the committee on resolutions, composed of Messrs. L. B, Wood, chairman, Marion W. Seabrook, and QSO, D. Levy, had resolutions of respect prepared and these WOUld be presented. The reso? lutions w ere i resented by Mr. L. E. Wood, the chairman Ol! the commit? tee, who also paid tribute in a short speech to the virtues of the deceased, with whom he had CO me in contact daily in his work as an attorney. The resolutions were read and adopted as follows: Resolution of the Burhter Far As* soclatlon, of Bumter, B, C? on the death of C, Capon Bmith, ISsquire: Whereas, it has pleased Almighty Qod to call from our midst one of our most highly respected and honred young members, C.

This || the lirst time since 1?U0 that the Sumter Far Association has been called together for the sad pur? pose of holding memorial services in honor of a departed brother. The last time bt fore this was when exer? cises were held in honor of the late Marion Molse, a membi r of the Bum? ter Rar Association. Money Value of Women. If you arc a married woman, and aero asked to tell just what you wer? worth in hard cash to your husband, what flguro would you name? The question is not a fanciful one by any means, but has been a. subject of ju? dicial consideration, It waR this way: the wife of an Iowa farmer isuight g gallon of what purported to be kerosene, but which was ufterward frown to ba 21 per cant gasoline. When the woman used porno of it to starl a Hps with th? stuff exploded, and she was burnt to death lud her three children wore s< rlously Injured. The woman'i busband sued the dealers for damages, aoil the h>r7 awarded biro $25 for ihn logs of bis wife ind $299.71 per child on looount of Injuries. The defendants evidently thought |hn1 a woman was not worth $25, lor tluy took an appeal tram tue verdict.

Yet they are r?al, and it will not ro? il uire the poet's pen to give to each his form and pressure, even to dis? tinguish each by a tag bearing a local habitation and a name.

But the obstacles which Cleveland had to meet and overcome were foot? hills by comparison with the moun? tains already arising across the high? way that stretches out before Wilson. Within Mr. Cleveland's easy reach, if he had know hOW to profit by them were men of the first order of intel? lect; men trained to the responsibili? ties of government! men used to the afflrmattona of public policies; men who had sat In the high places of leg? islation and administration. Mr. Wilson will have to rely for the most part up >n dl 'Covi rlea and crea? tions of his own; political amateurs new to Official life; novitiates to prac? tical and large affairs. Barring a few members of the House, few Sena? tors having chiefly negative experi? ence, he will at once encounter in the lower branch of Congress a top heavy majority wilh possibly a divided leadership, and. in the upper, if sap port at all, yet too ch>sc for comfort Public opinion is not here crystal? lised.

Wood row WUaon cornea to the h? ;uj of affairs a foil gTOWn DUU1. He 13 mature in all his powers Vor good or ill, his Character is ripened and all his own. Sprung from a rave of scholar* and thinkers, he has from his cradle played with books, devoured them, written them; a publicist learn? ed in the schools; a politician, UStiste, acute ana up to date; a popular speaker of the modern type, at once effective and attractive. The oppor? tunity before him is resplendent, the pitfalls many and deep. What bM will do with Congress re? mains to he seen. What Corxgress will do to him remains to 1 ? seen. Democracy aecds a Jefferson to in? itiate, a Jackson to ? xei Uta How many of the swan songs of the cam? paign can he translated InSO statute law? What rival ambition*, may take the tivld at first under cover and then in the open to confuse and thwart h I hiebest aims? Shall he ?nd a Bel - Ionian tower of strength, in the Sen? ate, as Jackson, with men like James K. Polk and Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan, Andrew Stevenson and Richard M. Johnson in the lead Shall he prove himself another Old Hickory? Time alone Will tell us. His nomi? nation and election lo..k very like a destiny. The times need a man; they need a shoolmaster; they need an academician; they need one who who knows and can discriminate; who sees and can do; who is honest and not afraid. Roosevelt had some great qualitiea No doubt of that. Hut Roosevelt is yet a boy. He is a boy crazy after a bird's nest it is not good for him to have. Events will show us what Wilson is. Meanwhile the Republican party is dead, its leaders with Taft at their head may not think so; but it is as dead as a door nail. As the institu? tion of African slavery killed the old Democratic party has the protective tariff system killed the modern Re? publican party. lake slavery, protection laid in false economic theories is untenable. It has outstayed its welcome. The American manufacturer will lind pro? tection a Chinese wall, as the South? ern planter found slave labor a brok? en reed. The vast income required by the government to be got through he custom house will upon a fairly ad? justed revenue tariff furnish the man? ufacturers ill the protection they could ask against their foreign com? petitors, w ho have to cress the s? as to bring their wares to market. It i? Inevitable that the Full Mo<se party, under the leadership of Roone elt. will swallow what is left Worth having of the Republican party. 3j the advent of Wilson and the Democ? racy the Full Moose becomes the party of protest. Slowly, but surely, all the elements of discontent will gather about it While Wilson is giv? ing the people "the marble hoa!"" of enlightened, practical and orderly ad? ministration, Roosevelt will be giving them "the song and dance ' of Ann ig gedon. Take it of the Democratic party the " Progressives.' as t hey ( .all them? selves, and join them to the "Frogres ?ives" who rally to Roosevelt, and no I pian can predict the State of the coun? try ami complexion of Congress, Aal Wilson slri\es to fulfil the promises. of tin- Democratic platform ?ml to meet the requirements of national progress will the standards of Fro gresslvlsm be raised. By 1914 it will be a contest be? tween the possible and the impos? sible in government, complicated by Democratic fuctionism and the ghost of Republicanism, unknowing or un? willing to admit that it is dead. The Full ffoose propaganda is a re? ligious cult, not a political program. The one tangible thing embodied by j it in the campaign just ended was a third term for Theodore Roosevelt. That could (Uily mean life tenure and an absolute autocracy. The conten? tion that it would not Mexican'.Be the government and Dlazify the Presi? dency is the milk and water which conspiracy employs to dupe the lm m 'tute and credulous. That the /ealots of the woman sut fn ge crusade should be caught by it attests their Incapacity to discrimi? nate ami tln ir unfltness for political leadership.
