MISS HAZEL ALBRteHT WEDS
R. B. HARDISON.
Yesterday at high noon there oc
curred a wedding of much interest to.
muhy friends throughout' the State
when Miss Hazel Albright iMame the
bride of R. B. Hardison, of Morven.
The marriage occurred at the home of
tt.e bride’s aunt, Mrs. W. H. Mat
thews, 618 Broad avenue, before Rev.
D. Miller, rector of St. Andrew's
Kpiscopu! church.
The marriage was a quiet one, ow
ing to the death recently of the bride’.s
father. Miss Lillian Pritchett pre-
. sided at the piano and for the march
, piEsyed the bridal chorus from Lohen
grin. The attendants were Mrs. W.

bride, who was dame of honor, and

Immediately after the ceremony a
vicdding breakfast was served to the
bridal party and immedtat.^ relative:-

room was bea'Jtiful in white and pol^i,
this color scheme being carried out :n
the menu served for the breakfast.
Mrs. Hnrdison is a yoMnp woman of
chiirminjr personality and has maJ?
many friends during her short stay in
mistakably that the Constitutional Amendments were defeated.
Probably the most significant thing about the reiums is that the
most progre^ive counties as well as those sections where the
people had a proper knowledge of the changes proposed, the
majorities were large against the Amendments.
Undoubtedly the Tax Amendment carried all others with it
to defeat. The people are and should be mighty slow about vot
ing extra taxes, and in asking the people of Noith Cax*olina to
adopt the Constitutional Amendments. Our popular leaders in
North Carolina went too far, they went a step or two farther
than the voters were willing to follow.
We believe that the Constitutional Amenments deserved de
feat, our political parties, our leading politicians, and our legisla-
■ture must get better records before the people of the State are
going to surrender or give up the powers they now have by
virt.\e of the Constitution.
Arhur Capper, the Topeka publisher, and governor elect
of Ivansas writes as follows regarding the high cost of politics,
and we believe that this applie.^ particularly to North Carolinii

petence and the dishonesty of the spoils system. It is the worst
and the most expensive kind of public service.
*'The only real tax reform is to reduce taxes. The only Vtay
to reduce taxes is to shut off the waste of tax money. It is Koing
to take years of constant effort to do that. First and last the
people will have to get behind the man or men who attempt it and
give them their unquestioned support at every turn of the road.
The first step Tfe to put the spoils system out of business, then
to keep it out.
“There are more political jobs today than ever before—
many more than there were two year ago—and the cost of local
and .State ^ovei’nmeDt is higher than ever before, as we shall
see at tax paying time this year.
“The whok business of 1;he spoils system is farming out
the offices to political favorites and perpetuating itself in office.
Its brains and energy are spent in creating new jobs and in en
trenching itself so the people cannot. r^ach it. Its mortal enemy
is the merit system and the active enforcement of a good civiJ ser
vice law.

COTTON BALL PROVES SUCCESS IN NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 13.— A cotton ball given under the auspices
of the Southern Society last night for the benefit of a fund to
aid Southerners in need and to increase the use and popularity
of cotton fabrics attracted a large assemblage.
While cotton costumes were not obligatory, the niajority of
women appeared in them and the effect was brilliant, many novel
dresses being worn with originality shown in the fashioning of
subdued and varied colored cotton fabrics.
