C. Gait, of Selma, Ala. The marriage was a quiet home affair. There were n) atteudants. The bride is a niece of M. A. Lyon, of this city. She and her mother "spent some time here about two years ago, living with j Mr. Lyon in Mr. Thos. Grier's house on North Tryon street.

Some Valuable Suirecstions. Mr. Editor: It is gratifying to s:e from your columns that a part, at le&3f, of the community are interested on the "road'' question; and I think the suggestion offered by one of your correspondents to have a mass meeting in August a good one. To make the call effective, it should be authorized by the signatures of several responsi:.u ?;,i,onp Diip ontornrifilncr vAnn.cr VIUX<gU5# VU4 / o I mayor is the proper person to formulate the call. Then it would carry official as well as individual weight. Although the discussion of methods , belongs properly to the propective meeting-, it will not be inappropriate ] here to reler to some of my owu ideas | as to how the work should be d-jirr.v ( These may put others to thinking and suggesting, and in the muhip'.'chy ofcounsel the best plan will be evolved. ; In the first place, a capable man , should be selected to "lay out" new , road beds in very many places where : j the grade is too great, where cutting , and filling wou'd be too heavy. In nearly all such places by making a detour to rlgbt or left a suitable grade could be found, increasing the dis- J tance, generally, very little. If one will notice some of the otherwise ex- * cellent work of the chain gang be will j seo that in this reapecc ii is very faulty. ( This "lajing out" would not require the services of an engineer, bnt it would demand a lot of good "horse sense," Next, the worst places should ' be improved first; these decide the load and do all the damage. Thirdly, we have pcen from last winter's experience that to pile up red ' clay in any shape nnly makes bad mat- . ters worse, ?vn rendering a road in 3 wet we?fb r .upa^sable. I am afraid ; the only tiling to do where the road ' is of this characier is to macadatnizj? , a pretty expensive busiuess. Lastly, but very important, the . blighting effects of politics should be J kept ont of the whole matter if possi- * ble, for like the red clav it is verv apt lo mane a "mess." auis remain. intended in a general tense and not a* a reflection On any one Now, Mr. Editor, as what is every one's business is nobody's but your?, it devolves on you to hustle our mayor and gee him to hus.le four or five others to sign a call for a mass meeting as soon as the crops are laid by; and bo sure to have the meeting when there 1? a good season in the ground and the crop3 are looking fine, for thon mill oil ho fool!nor trnnfJ and won't n t/ >T 111 UU k/v w mind voting that two-mill road tax.

KIDGEWAY NEWS' Tbe stifling heat of the past ten days has at last given way to a slight^ cooler wave, though the weather even now is quite warm here, and for lack of rain the dust is extremely annoying. On the Qrst ^looaay ujuiyueiegates from Camp Riun were sent to Winnsboro to take part in the election of a coloml for the regiment which has been formed by the union of the several Confederate camps-in Fairfield County. The Camp Rion delegates were especially instructed to cast their ballots for none other than Maj. Thos. W. Woodward. It is with pleasure that his election as colonel is annnnnrfiri; an office which Col. Wood- ' ward is competent in every way to fill with that peculiar dignity and characteristic ability to command. W. G. Pliauant, chairman of the board of delegates lrom Ridgeway, was elected major. One delegate, upon being [' questioned as to the election of chaplain, said, "Well, sir. we did not for a moment think of him." If this be true it is not a little stran?e that a body of men such a-; was met togr ther in i Winnsb^ro ."hou'd for a moment over- i look the election of a chaplain. Ju?t 1 think of it.

Blackstock crossed bats at Blackstock on the afternoon of the 8lh, which i game resulted in the home boys wiping out the visiting team. The game began with little interest on both *ides; but alter plajing an inning each team b?gan to realize that it wouid take long bits, stolen bases and good playing all around for it to win thp fi at cramp fif fhp SPflCO'l. While the vVinnrboro boys crowned the game wiib their Jong hit*, the home team show- <5 their superiority in the fi Id. Tbe pla\8 weli worthy of nr.e>ui ?n were Ctaig's beautiful catch in tight field; J. Cooper's ion? run and "swipe" in the left field; W. Ki.kpatrick'e catch in thort stop; M. Quattlebaum'd long hit to centre field, and Roche's long bit to left field. If there was nothing elre in the whole game at all praiieworthy, the home bo) s should feel complimented for tbe vr.-iy in which they held up the reputation oHheir former teams. Kitkpatrick's first appearance in the box was gr&at. The way in which he wrapped those balls around (he neck Ui me usuer buuwt mat uc is & piivuci with a futuie reputation.
