In a ceremony marked by great
beauty and impresslveness, Miss Ida

Mrs. Ricks Archibald Pearce of Loufs
burg, became the bride of Mr. Charles
Tayloe Hoyt, of Washington, N. C,
on Wednesday afternoon, June 18, at
five o'clock at the Methodist Epis
copal church in Louisburg.
The Church was attractively decor
cited with alma, evergreens, ferns,
l uge baskets of Queen Annes' Lace
and regal Llllies, while tall cathedral
candles with their soft mellow glow
filled one with a sweet sense of sole
mlty.
Mrs. H. J. Lewis presided at the
organ and rendered a beautiful musi
cal programme, selections from the
Operas. She was accompanied on
the violin by Mr. Sam Allen. Mrs.
David Miller Carter, of Washington,
sang two exquisite songs, "The
Dawn", and "0 Promise Me".
The ushers were Dr. Sandy Jen
nette, Augustus Bowers, Henry Clay
Carter III, of Washington, and Qeorge
W. Ford, of Louisburg.
Master Thomas Barker Dameron,
of Goldsboro, cousin of the bride,
dressed in a quaint suit of black vel
vet, acted as ringbearer, and little
Miss Helen Welch Tucker, gowned
in ruffled pink taffeta was exquisite
as she scattered rose petals in the
path of the bride.
Miss Flora McLauirin, the maid of
honor, was a picture of loveliness in
ecqua-marlne blue net embroidered
in white, with pink picture hat, car
rying an arm bouquet of pink roses
end snap dragons.
The bride entered with her father,
who gave her in marriage. She was
. piquantly beautiful in-, beige chiffon
and- lace, match accessories and pie
tare hat with a shower bouquet of
sweetheart roses and valley lillies.
Rev. A. D. Wilcox, the bride's pas
tor, performed the ceremony, using
the beautiful betrothal service of the
church. During the service Mrs.
Lewis and Mr. Allen played softly
"Sweet Mystery ot Life".
The marriage marks the union of
two families prominent in social, mili
tary, and political circles of the State.
Mr. Hoyt, himself, is a prominent

Asheville, and from there he pursued
his studies at the University of North
Carolina.
Immediately following the cere
mony Mr. and Mrs. Pearce, parents
of the bride, entertained at an infor
mal reception at their home, "North
field Hall". The stately old home
was beautiftj; neetling, as it does,
among the ntgjestlc old oak trees, and
the decorations ^of robes, Queen Ann's
Lace, gladioli and larkspur lent even
more quaintness to the scene.
The bride and groom left after the
reception for an extended tour
through the mountains of North Caro

COTTON COSTS AVERAGE
FIFTY DOLLARS AN ACRE
The average acre of cotton pro
duced in-Nbrth Carolina posts $50 in
labor, fertllzer, ginning and other
costs. Working from this as I start
ing point, the grower knows that he
must produce at least 312 pounds of
lint when cotton sells at 16 cents a
pound before be will produce the cost
of production. Either this or he must
cut the cost of production below $50
an acre.
"Few growers, however, know what
It casts them ta produce an acre at
cotton." says Dr. G. W. Forester, ag
ricultural economist at State College.
' The season 'Is not too far advanced
hut that a fairly accurate figure may
be obtained for this year. It will bo
necessary to recall the number of
hoars of horse or tractor work pult in
on the crop up to this time. Any
work done last fall, such as cutting
the stalks, discing and seeding for a
cover crop needs to be charged
pgalnst this year's cotton. The time
spent In breaking, discing, harrow
ing running rows, - ridging, distri
buting fertllzer, seeding chopping
rnd cultivating should be listed. The
time spent by hired labor need not
be recorded but the cash paid should
he entered as a direct expense. The
value of the fertliser must be given
?nd manure when used. A'fair val
ue of $3 a ton should be charged for
the manure. The market price for
home-grown seed or the purchase
Frice for bought seed must be record
ed. Dusting materials and all Items
from now on until harvest must be
accounted far." - The total of all
these will show the gross cost, says
Dr. Forester. The net coet may be
secured by deducting the value ot
the seed. This net cost divided by
the number of pounds of lint grown
per acre will give the cost of pro
ducing one pound.
