Misses Janie, Mabel and
Cordelia Pearson, of Ga'tonia,
visited at the home of Mr. A. J.
Sturgis, on Yorkville K. P. D.
No. 6 last week.
Mr. Walton S. Neil, who has
for several years past been the
efficient secretary and treasurer
of the Tavora Cotton Mill com
pany, has resigned his position
for the purpose of giving hit
entire time and attention to the
interests of tbe Yorkville Bank
ing and Mercantile company, of
which company he was recently
made vice president.
Mr. Joseph Jackson a well
known citizen of Broad River
township, died at his home near
Hickory Grove last night at 10
o'clock. He was about 80 years
of age and leaves a widow and
six children as follows: Messrs.
Lowry, Robert, William, Ro
land and Thomas Jackson and
Mrs. Fannie Brake field.
The proposed new schedule of
the C. & N.*W. will enable
Yorkville people to go and come
pretty much as they please. It
will be possible to make the trip
to Columbia and return the came
day, and there will be close con*
nection for the north at Gaato
nU.
As indicated by conditions in
this section the cotton acreage
. thia year ia to be limited only
by the amount of available labor.
Some farmers have about all tbe
labor they will require; but
others have little or none. In
the first Diace labor seems to be
•career than usual and in the
aecond place It ia generally dis
posed to hold out for better
terms than have been granted
heretofore. Tbe common ten
dency seems to be to make up
for the labor shortage by the In
creased use of commercial ferti
lisers.
A telephone massage received
here yesterday morning brought
information that Dr. C. F. Wil

was performed at tha Columbia
hospital Sunday night, and in

A salesman who knows his
gooda and has mastered tbe art
of presenting them ia confident
ly aggressive in his work. He
is said to have a forceful per
sonality. Now this seems a
ceae of putting the cart before
the borte. It is not alone be
cause he knows hie goods and
the art of presenting them that
the salesman becomes a con
fident and aggressive worker
Neither is it because of any such
evolution that be attains a force
ful personality that the salesman
gets the knowledge of hia gooda
and how to pretest them and
thua gains the spirit of real self
confidence, said a trade pub
lication recently. The person
ality is tbe root of all, because il
is the expression of tbe nsan't
high character in body, mind
and spirit. It is is devalopisf
this character that he wins tha

Rhyne's charming home iu Mt.
Holly, at 6.30 o'clock last
evening. Miss Lilian Catherine
Rhyne became the wife of Mr.
Miles P. Hoffman, of Philadel
phia, l»a. One of the most
brilliant assemblages that ever
gathered to witness a Southern
wedding stood while Rev. W.
O. Roger pastor of the Mt. Holly
Lutheran chnrch, pronounced
the fateful words that made the
two one, tbe impressive ring
service of the Lutheran church
being used. Miss Helen Rhyne,
sister of tbe bride, was maid of
honor and Mias Georgia Lowe
was bridesmaid. The best man
was Mr. L- P. White, of Phila
delphia, Pa.
A few minutes before the ap
pointed hour, the ushers gath
ered in the dining hall to await
the coming of the rest of the
perty. The arrangement of tbe
home was such that the three
large rooms could be thrown
open in one. Tbe dining hall
aod library had been artistically
decorated in evergreens and
potted plants. The parlor,
where the ceremony took place,
was a vision of loveliness. The
color scheme was white and
treen and tbe effect was altogeth
er pleasing. White bunting had
Mtn plMtd upon the wails,
which were covered with sprigs
of holly. Extending from the
dining hall to the parlor was a
white cloth walk-way which
stretched up to the very altar.
Along tbit were pedestals,
draped in holly, which marked
tbe way.
i ne altar wai arranged m the
parlor alcove, and fronted the
three rooms. A great bank of
ferns, palms, ivy and potted
planta formed the background
which was surmounted by five
large candlesticks, each bearing
seven candles. These were
burning, the light from which
displayed the decorations in a
very handsome manner. Jnst
before Ibis improvised altar (be
ceremony took place.
While the party was gathering
Miss Dora Allen Sater sang
sweetly the selection entitled
"Love” from Mendelssohn's
spring song. As the bride de
scended the broad stairs, Mrs.
W. G. Boger played the beauti
ful wedding march from Lohen>
firHu. At the same Komeot,
Key. Mr. Boger presented him
aelf at the altar and the first of

on either tide of the altar and
writ followed by Messrs. T. A.
Blythe and Henry Rhyne,
Jacob Binder, Jr., and Fred
erick Rtunpf, Jr.
Miss Georgia Lowe, brides
maid. came next, being followed
by Mr. B. J. Hoffman, • brother
of the grooin, and Mr. J. R.
Craig. Miai Helen Rhyne,
maid of honor, preceded tbc
groom, who was attended by bis
best mao, Mr. L. P. white.
! Little Augusta Cannon followed
bearing the ring. The bride,
resting ber band lightly on tbc
arm of ber father, marched
through the aisle formed by tbc
ushers and approached the altar
where the groom was waiting.
Together they stood while the
officiating minister pronounced
the words that made them man
and wife.
The ceremony over, the as
sembled guests pressed forward
to wish for the newly wedded
couple all that is best io life.
AU then repaired to the dining
hall where delicious refresh
ments were served. Later Mr.

lotte, from which point they
boarded the Southern for Palm
Beach, Fla., where they will

The bride was dressed in a
band embroidered gown of
radix silk. Her veil was caught
by a spray of the lilies of the
valley. The only ornament that
sbe wore was a magnificent
diamond brooch, the gift of the
groom. She carried a great
sbower bouquet of lilies of the
valley.
1 be maid of honor wore cream
colored batiste over silk, and
carried bride’* rosea. The
bridesmaid was dressed in a
handsome gown of French
mull, wearing valencicnncs lace.
She earned bridesmaid’s roses.
Those who were present de
clare that there was never a
more beautiful service nor were
the surroundings more ideal.
The bride was unusually lovely,
the excitement giving her a lit
tle color which added all the
more to her beauty. There was
no hitch about tbe ceremony
and all who witnessed it were
unanimous in tbeir opinion that
this was one of the moat impres
sive that has ever been solemn
ized in this section of the State.
The .cake was cat and Miss
Mary Spencer Anderson received
tbe ring. Miss Susie Hoffman,
of Gastonia; the coin, and Mr.
W. R. Parker the thimble. The
gift of the bride to her brides
maids were beautiful rings, set
wiUi handsome pearls. Fine
cuff buttons were the tokens of
the groom to his groomsmen.
It would be impossible to dif
ferentiate between tbe gifts re
ceived from all sections of tbe
country. They wrre many and
costly and were uniformly hand
some and tasteful. A finer col
lection of wedding presents
would be difficult to find any
where.
The bride is tbe daughter of
Mr. and Mn. A. P. Rhyne, of
• ¥'0,!fr one the moat prom
in this section of
States She ii a moat charm*
ing and accomplished young
lady and has many friends in

about the hog to be true from

"When I waaa boy," be said,
"I read my first reader in school
something like this:
"I see a cow. She is a nice
cow. Can the cow run? No,
the cow cannot ran as fast as a
heme."
"Now that sounds all right.
Bnt how is it nowadays? The
up-to-date first reader has it
something like this:
"Gee, get next to the cow.
Ain’t she a peach? She’s a
corker. Can the cow get a move
