While waiting for the bridal party, the congregation was entertained by music rendered by Misses Mamie Ed? munds on the organ and Miss Isadore Teicher on the violin. At the ap? pointed time the strains of Mendel? ssohn's Wedding March were heard and the bridal party entered, the bride coming last with her father. She was met ai the altar by the groom, who was attended by his bost man, Mr. Robert 1* McLeod. The weeding ceremony was per? formed by the Rev. J. P.

NATT HF I) BADINAGE OF SENATORIAL CANDIDATES AT ORANGEBURG. Jennings Opens Meeting with an At-1 taek on Smilirs Cotton Record and Hlease's punions?Crowd Calls for Smith, Who in Reply Shows What He Has Done. Orangeburg, June 18.?Citizens of Orangeburg were less patient today with the United States senatorial can? didate! than were those of Calhoun county. Thomas M. Raysor, who presided in the absence of County Chairman Adam H. Moss, pleaded for a respect? ful hearing of all candidates, and the Hey. J. L. McL es, Presbyterian min? ister, prayed that there might be "harmony and peace." However, the post entrants, Messrs. Jennings and Pollock, at the very outset of their speeches characterized as absurd the claim of B. D. Smith that he had something to do with raising the price of cotton. In the audience there were probably as many as 1,200 vot? ers, most of them cotton planters, and this decrying of Senator Smith's efforts for cotton legislation aroused them. In consequence there was much heckling, and at times the speakers had to wait for the laughter and sarcasm hurled from the audi? ence to subside to make themselves heard. "Personally, I have nothing against Mr. Smith," thundered Mr. Jennings. "No, you just want his Job. That's all," came back a voice from the crowd. While Mr. Pollock was speaking, he called the attention of the voters to the fact that Senator Smith had added 50 pounds in weight within the last five years, in which time he has received about $37,000 salary. "Pretty costly meat, isn't it? When you get a hog fat, kill him and salt him down, and don't carry him through to another season." The joke "got over" in good fashion, but some wag caused it to rebound by retorting, "Yes, but It will cost more than that to put GO pounds on your carcass." Thus the jabs and jolts were bandied back and forth, with the chairman occasionally rapping for order. The governor was the last speaker. He was, trreeted with applause, but before this had subsided, the Smith boom was again at its flood crest. The governor's opening remark was: "1 heard before I got here this morn? ing that I was to be howled down. Go ahead. I have no objection to your showing that you're not gentle? men. I expect to be a gentleman myself." Chairman Haysor then interposed, but before the speaking was well under way, the threatened rain set In, and the crowd had to adjourn to the court house. Here again the speaker had some difficulty "in get? ting set," but when once in the proper groove his followers "whooped him up" spontaneously as he denounced the newspapers on a charge of mis? quoting him, particularly The State; boasted of his victory two years ago over "newspapers, bankers, corpora? tions and Republicans" and vigor? ously defended his pardon record, say? ing he wa?< proud of the fact that he had extended mercy last night In Cb lurnia to one Calhoun convict. "I'm not done, yet either," he suid. "You like it if you are my friends. If you don't like It you can't help your? self." New primary regulations were again held up to the voters as a scheme to take the vote front the poor man. "Hut mark my words. When the election day comes, I'll have my share. Those votes that an effort is being made to keep out will be put In, and will be counted too." Senator Smith's speech was largely a duplication of yesterday's at St. Matthews. Ho dismissed the ( barges that he had nothing to do with the price of coton as "most amusing." He did not claim all the credit, but was proud of the fact that ho had the [reputation of being a man with one idea, and that was "cotton." Senator Smith put things In a whirl by il? lustrating the bettered condition ot the farmers by the joko of the ' ?gro I joint-purchasers of the milk cow, one getting the feeding-half and the Other the mllklng-half, and the feed? ing-half owner suggesting that the cow be turned around. "If the bills I have introduced have had nothing to do with rais? ing tho price of cotton, thank (lud 1 was there working with heart and soul while it was being done Hut isn't it passing strange that the jump in price should be so sudden, and too it should be at the very time some of my efforts Were being crown od with a measure of .success'.' Strange isn't it .' What a remarkable coinci? dence! They tell you thai the law I of supply and demand has brought all this about. Why we ate not only i getting $2t> inure a bale, but we an raising on the average !l,000,000 bale. more of cotton each year." Senator smith again read his pai alltl column of priess paid for cot ton (hiring the two last decades and the number of bales grown. By this he demonstrated that the pine av eraged but 8 1-2 cents from LS94 to 1h04, while from 1904 until 1914 the planters have received an average price of 12 1-2 cents. South Caro? lina raises on an average of 1,000, 000, and this, according to Senator Smith's figures, would mean that this advance has brought $200,000,000 to! the farmers of this State since the junior senator became active in the interest* of the cotton grower. That campaign exhibit which is creating much interest is the block of standardized bleached and un? bleached samples, which by a pro? vision of one of the Smith bills will be placed on all the cotton platforms in the South. This arrangement will enable the producer to compare his own staple with the government's standardized tested samples, and de? termine the quality of cotton he is throwing on the market. This is being handed out among the farmers from the platform as the party passes from county to county as "documen? tary evidence." The party goes to St. George's to? night, where the candidates will speak to the Dorchester county voters tomorrow. HEAVY RAINS AT EGYPT. Hail Storm Does Damage to Crops? Personals. Egypt, June 17.?We've had heavy rain falls for the last week that have given the grass a good stand and the farmers are doing some hustling. On Monday evening there was a big hail storm a couple of miles below here that made "a sweep" as it went. However, we were very thankful to have missed It with the exception of a very little. Mrs. L. A. White is spending some time with relatives here. Messrs. J. K. Kichbourg and W. T. McLeod spent yesterday in Bishop vllle. Among those who attended com? mencement of the Camden High School from here were Misses Badie White, Sallie McLeod, Messrs. Charles Peebles, Olin and Thomas White. Mr. L. H. White spent the week? end at Rembert. Misses Eva and Lucile Brltton have returned to their home after a very successful term of teaching near Ker shaw. Little Miss Ruth McLeod returned home after attending school in Camden. Master Marion Hogue of Camden is spending sometime with Masters James and Herbert White. Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Grler spent Sunday In Egypt. Little Miss Annie McLeod returned home Saturday after several weeks' stay with her teacher, Miss Thomas, of Edgemore. Misses IIa Mae Evans and Belle McCutchen of Rembert spent Thurs? day In Egypt. Miss Mae Weldon returned home Sunday after a pleasant week's stay with her sister, Mrs. Gibson of Bish opville. On last Thursday afternoon the la? dies of St. John's M. E. Church held their monthly meeting of the W. F. M. Society at the home of Mrs. L. A. White. Quite a number were pres? ent and after dispensing with the business part of the meeting and hearing the district and State re? ports, respectively, by Mrs. Foxworth and Mrs. Brown, the hostess served delicious ice cream and cake. A Campaign of Issues. News and Courier. Mr. L. D. Jennings is justifying his candidacy for the United States sen? ate. No farmer who hears Lang Jen? nings will go away with a mistaken idea as to why the i.ew rules of the Democratic party require the voter to sign the club rolls In person. There will be no dead men on the new rolls, said Mr. Jennings at Or angoburg Thursday. "They can't come to sign. If they did the sec? retary would leave." You can just bet he would . Mr. Jennings' discussion of the gov? ernor's pardon record at St. George yesterday was not less illuminating. In fact, it is already evident that the senatorial campaign this year is going to be one of genuine educa? tion. Perhaps after all they were wisest who insisted that the county to coun? ty canvass would prove its value if re? tained. Issues cannot be degraded when a courageous champion puts his devo? tion to truth above his personal i"? I t uncs. i _ j - Thieves Make Hood Haul. ah..nta. June 1!?

General Dcrtarra >t Would he Foolish to Wrangle Over Individual Ques? tions. Torreon, Hex., June 18.?rlWi. Villa today issued the following statement regarding his relations with Gen. I terransa: "1 h ive received today many tele? grams from different newspapers in the United States asking what is the matter between Gen. Carranza and myself. 1 already have said through the associated Tress that there is nothing between ?;en. Car. .nza and myself which in uny way has altered our military policy. I will now go even further and say there never will be any difference* between On. Car raitia and myself that will interfere with the work of the constitutional? ists. "It would be folly for any of the leaders to impede or in any way hamper the great work, now almost within reach of our goal. It simply would be madnes to wrangle about individuals. We will fight the enemy of our people and his minions until we have Vanquished them. After that has been accomplished you may rest assured all Mexican patriots will do their duty and shoulder to shoulder will work for the i*ood of all." At the headquarters of the division of the north, it wai announced today that there was nc foundation for ru? mors that certain civil officers in Juarez placed by Gen. Carranza had been made prisoners. It was said that by agreement they had been transferred to Chihuahua city. Pocalla News Notes. A party of young folks enjoyed a picnic at Pocalla Friday.
