LEAP SOCIAL DANCE.
The young ladies of the Greenville
social set entertained Thursday night
at the Carolina Club in a leap year
dance that was attended and
which proved very successful. About
twenty couple enjoyed the dancing
from to a little after o'clock.
The decorations the ball room
were most appropriate. Electric
lights were shaded and hearts or many
sizes and degrees of hue
bung from every available support
to remind the young men that there
was danger of declarations, not of
Independence, but very much the
way. As It is no proposals are
reported.
Full credit should he given
Misses Smith, Cobb, and
Forbes for preparing the club for the
evening. Or course Messrs. Gales
and Kittrell also helped to decorate
and reach such places as made a
ladder dangerous for feminine reach.
Altogether a delightful was

proved they are capable
to keep up with the young men i our
community, when it comes to social
entertainments.

what progress the Southern
States have made in the last few
years.

Hearst has accomplished all this
absolutely single handed and with his

Whatever be his aims in politics,

men who had held high official

characteristic, or hoodoo, failed to do

is to be hoped that every farmer
on the subject will sign the
pledge and once he has signed it will
stick to it. And after all this should
not be hard to accomplish in the face
of the prices the cotton farmers are
getting for their product
It must have been Indeed a great
disappointment to some of them. And
It certainly was too bad that when
the idea of that great money crop
suggested Itself to them, the idea of
overproduction did not accompany it.
As it is. the majority of farmers will
have to acknowledge that the price
they have had to pay for the lesson
has been a pretty steep one.
It would be Interesting to find
lout just exactly to what extent and
how many of them have really prof-
by the cotton crop of last sea-

largest demonstrations the past sea-

that produced fifty bushels per acre
ind one of a hundred acres of cotton
that grew a bale and a quarter of cot-
ton per acre. The demonstrators are
supervised by the local agents who
in turn are Instructed by district and
agents.
The demonstration work has hearty
co-operation with the A and M. Col-
the Union and other
progressive organization. The state
department of agriculture is now co-
operating financially and otherwise.

season amounts to

Blow Becomes Bride of
Mr. J. C. Butner.
At o'clock this morning In St.
Paul's Episcopal church, there was
a beautiful marriage In which Miss
Lottie Blow, daughter of ex-
Senator and Mrs. A L. Blow, became
the bride of Mr. John C. Butner, of
Cleveland, Ohio. The officiating
clergyman was Rev. B K. Huske, of
New Bern, a former rector here, the
impressive ring ceremony being used.
The chancel of the church was beau-
decorated in green and white
palms, ferns and ivy being abundant-
used.
Mrs. Sam T. White presided at the
organ, playing the wedding as
the bridal party entered, and

the altar were the ushers. Messrs.

Next was the dame of honor, Mrs.
H. S. Fulford of Hertford, sister of
the bride, dressed in light blue cloth
suit and carrying a bouquet of car-
nations.
The bride entered with her father,
ex-Senator A. L. Blow. She wore a
tailored suit of violet and carried
bride roses and a shower bouquet of
of the valley. As they neared
the altar the bridegroom with Mr. W.
H. Jr., as best man, came
through the vestry and met them.
The couple left on the afternoon

for the home of Mr. Butner in Cleve-

this charming and popular young
woman, but the best wishes of all
go with to her new home.
Alter rehearsal in the church Tues-
day night, Mr. and Mrs. Blow inform-

visitors at their home on Pitt street.
At this reception the wedding gifts
were on display, and the large
and beauty of these bore evidence

groom.
