R Wait, of Home wood, when their niece, Miss Ella Yeatch Dils became the bride of Mr. Arthur Harby of Sumter. Miss Dila is a native of Califor? nia having come to Conway some five or six years ago to make her home with her uncle. Since coming to this State she has made a host of friends all over this county. For several years Miss Dils has taught in tho schools of Horry, and is a young woman of much charm and many accomplishments. Mr. Harby Is a grand-son of Col. Harby, who made his home in Con? way for a number of years, and is a young lawor of the Surnter bar, a highly educated and gifted young man. Tho beautiful bungalow of the Walte's, only a few miles out from Conway. was tastefully decorated for the occasion.

A delightful lunch was served to the wedding guests Immediately af? ter the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Harby left on the 3.20 train for a trip of a few weeks after which they will be at home in Sumter.

Necessary Petitions for Election Practically Completed.

Those in charge of the petitions have expressed themselves as much gratified with the unanimity of the signatures for the bond Issue. The nee ?sary number of qualified electors were secured In a couple of duys, and only a small number of freeholders are now needed to complete that pe? tition. Public sentiment, as indicated by tho cheerful signing of these pc UtkMM with pi.trtually unanimous consent, and as shown by bundle'Is of taxpayers who unrooted themselves In favor of the bond isuo, Is unques? tionably \ery much In favor of the Improvements contemplated.

Columbia, May 2.?That a new op Ionisation of farmers is gaining head? way In certain places in South Caro? lina has been known for some time, but just how far the organization ex? tends is not known. Reports in Co? lumbia are to the effect that the new farmers' organization is secret and oath-bound and indications are that it partakes of a political significance. Just what its purposes are it is im? possible to state with accuracy, but enough is known to justify the state? ment that politics Is playing some part in the new movement. Investigations by The News and Courier correspondent of this new movement have been fruitless as far as getting tangible informa? tion as to who or what is behind this new secret farmers' movement, but tho investigations have not been entirely without results. It is known for a certainty that such a movement exists and it appears to have been cradled in the counties of Lee and Kershaw. In fact, the new move? ment lays claim to several hundred members, 1,100 to believe on report, in these two counties. It is said to have appeared at a few places in Marlboro county, but just how much further It has spread has not been apparent. It seems to be still In its Incipient state and has not yet been enabled to walk Without assistance. Politico] observe!:, have had their eyes <o? this new movement of farm? ers for some weeks and ha\e been quietly digging under the surface to try to find out the underlying causes and those who are behind It. It Is not entirely a thing of * mystery to figure out who might be connected with the movement. In fact, there are those who guess that some men who have an eye for political prefer? ment arc aware of the organization, but none can be found who will ad? mit that they know anything about it. Hut there are some in touch with po? litical conditions who would not mind risking a guess. It is said on excellent authority that the new farmers' movement is menacing the very existence of the State Farmers' Union. It is said that one thing is the low dues. Thus it is said that the initiation fee in this sec? ret farmers' organization is only 10 cents and the dues only 20 cents per year for each member. This in itself is something which the Farmers' Union is said to be impossible to com? pete with and many are wondering how the new organization is gCiHe to exist on such dues, but that is some? thing which has not conic to the sur? face. While nothing has been saici publicly, it is known that the Farm? ers' Union officials have been viewing this new organiaztion with concern mixed with alarm. Development! of this new organiza? tion will be watched with interest. Will it be a new reform movement similar to that which swept B. R, Tillman into oflice in 1S?H?, or will it be only a flash in the pan und die in Its Incipiency? The future alone can tell. Takes Charge of Kindergarten. (Lock Hill Correspondence to Sun? day State.) Miss Dors Dick of Sumter is in the city, having come to take charge of the newly opened kindergarten of the Victoria mill.

HAIL STORM AT DALZELL. Electric Storm Accompanied by Rain and Hail Sunday Night. For the first time since the second of April, when there was a rain and snow, it rained on Sunday night, the rain being accompanied by an elec? tric storm with wind and hail. There was not sufficient wind or hail to do much damage in town or nearby, but reports from above Dalaell state that there was a heavy fall of hall in that section, which did considerable dam? age to the gardens and the small grain crop. It was estimated by one man that there must have been four inches of hail to fall during the ftorm ami that It was Rill lying several inches deep in the diu h alor-g the roadside this morning. The rain generally, despite ihe hail, deal a grea? deal of good, as much of the cotton had never come up from lack of moisture and the grain was badly in need of rain. Many farmers had been waiting for some time to plant out their tobacco and they took advantage of this opportunity to transplant their plants from the to? bacco beds. Those plants which had been set out were much revived and looked a great deal better after the rain. Heal Estate Transfers. Julia R. Mellette to Geo. A.
