One of the very impressive and
noted events in dissocial history
was the marriage of Miss Fran
ces Edelle, daughter of Mr. and

young citizen of Columbia, which
took place at the well-appointed
home of the bride's parents, Park
street at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, June 3d, in the pres
ence of one of the most represen
tative and cultured assemblage
of Columbia's social circle.
Rev. M. G. Johnson, of Ladson
Presbyterian church, officiated.
In their dress and orijfements the
lady guests presented a beautiful
picture of good taste and refine
ment. The gentlemen, most of
them young men, presented a
hopeful assemblage of knightly
citizens. Grouped 7 in the
splendidly arranged ^parlors1 with
the bridal party as the center,
under the sound of the solemnly
pronounced marriage ceremony
and the sweet seductive strains
of wedding music, rendered by
Prof. F. H. Thoinas, and Miss
Thomasina O. Pinkney a beauti

. Hon. A. t>. Dantzler, one of out
leading fanners and at one time the
largest negro landowner in Oranges
burg cot: ?v, was in the city a few
days ago ?eported a most thrill
ing expefri?t.ee which he and his
son, Dr. l_eiin?el, had with his stock
bull. Thc bull, for some cause,
possibly best known to bullology,
suddenly became enraged and with
out notice undertook to put Mr.
Dantzler dut of commission. How
well the bull succeeded will be told
further or,. However, you'll re
member Mr. A. D. Dantzler as hav
ing several times run for Congress
from the seventh Congressional
District and was defeated as many
times as he ran, but not until after
he had made his contests. Now, in
this bull contest Mr. Dantzler
seemed to have been wholly unpre
pared and as a result soon found
himself on the ground, having been
knocked down by the infuriated
animal, which proceeded to paw and
gore Mr. Dantzler, who., was simply
acting in self-defense, which con
sisted in lying down, kicking and
calling ..for h$lp and jumping over
the fence after having been'rescued
from this you will sec that Mr.
Dantzler was not the aggressor, but
was simply acting in self-defense,
because bc did jump the fence,
leaving the situation with his son,
Dr. Lemuel, who has had no experi
ence in congressional contests and
very little in fighting an enraged
hull. Thus Dr. Lemuel soon found
himself on thc ground with the bull
in charge, having no respect what
ever for pharmaceutical ability.
Thc doctor is now compelled to cali
upon his rescued father to return
the kindness and the same is grant
ed, whereby father and son arc
masters of thc situation and except
for a few scratches and lacerated
clothes they are. Dantzlers just thc
same. Now. Esquire Moorer has
heretofore had ch rage of Mr.
Dantzler's congressional contests,
and whether he has been consulted
or retained in this case is anion?
my unknown quantities. However,
after thc light Mr. Dantzler held ;i
short consultation with his son, who
is a recent graduate of Meharry
Medical College, as to what dispo
sition should be made of "fighting
hull." Dr. Dantzler, who seems tc
be well versed in modern pharmacy,
prescribed a dose, o? hot lead, but
to this the flither disagreed, and
with a more economic view fo .>

THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL
AT ALLEN UNIVERSITY.
The commencement program of
the Theological school at Allea
University was an unique dem
onstration of the class of work
being done by the professors in
the department. The graduation |
oration of Rev. Mercer L. Ram
sey, of Greenwood, was the es
sence of oratory, elocution, and
logic. Thc.t he held his audience
spell-bound on commencement
day is well said. He deserves
the degree'of B.D. which was con
ferred upon him. No department
in Allen is doing more excellent
work and reaches a greatei; need
in the very life of the race and
church than the thee:--neal
For6^ears Pm* C. ??. Mem
bert has had the deanship of Al
len University and his adminis
tration is one of constbuctive
work, Some able young men are
in the field representing the work
done in the department. Dr.
Rembert is assisted in this good
work by Prof. T. B. Nelson, who
has the chair of Hebrew and Di
dactic Theology. Bob Nelson is
a real good scholar, quiet and un
assuming.
The support of the theological
department is growing. One
thousand dollars is given annual
ly now from the general church
and, it is said, that each confer
ence in the state will give a schol
arship that the scope of theologi
cal training may be more far
reaching as it affects the pulpits
of the A, M. E. church in South
Carolina.
The commencement exercises
at Allen last week were the best
ever given out there, even the '
enemies of Negro institutions
manned solely by Negroes, say
so. In my letter to The State a '
few days ago I made a mistake {
as to the number of graduates. I
am reliably informed that there 1
were 48 to graduate from the L. 1
I. course, two given degrees of A, 1
B., one the degree of B. D., and ,
six certificates from the depart- \
ment domestic arts. I. M. A. j

CHARLESTON POLITICS
The po1:' ... . meetings held last

Charleston shows tha; there was
"a hot time in the old town"
last week. One faction contends
that Charleston is being damned
by Grace, * iii: the other vigor
ously and v ^?lerously con tit, nd
that the old city has been saved
by Grace.
Grace and " ogan is t?W gy-.-m
