C., one of the aaost popular and talented ministers In the pulpit ol the Associate Reformed I'resbyterlan Church, was today married to Miss Christine Elliott, of thin city, a beautiful and acooopllshed member of an old and highly eattemed family of this State. The marriage ceremony was performed in the A. It. P. Church at this place at live o'clock in the aftornoon, the church being darkened for the occasion. The bridal party and members of theeroom's family had been previously enter tatned at a luncheon at the residence of the bride. CHURCH DECORATIONS. Thechuroh was filled to its utmost capacity and most tastefully decorated, palms and niuniianii iimters belne arranged in an exquisitely graceful and artistic manner. A mellow candle glow lighted the darkened building and subdued the commingling white and green, the predominant colors In tbe decoration. At the appointed hour, as the notes of the Lohengrin "Wedding March" announced the arrival of the bride, lour little girls in pink green draped white ribbon from pew to pew along thealsies to beep back the crowds until alter the bridal party bad left tbe church. Immediately after tbem the attendants advanced In couples, each pair separating at tbe altar and helping to form a large semi- 4 circle, In whose center tbe uroom received his bride from her dame of honor, Mrs. Edward G. Jones, nee Miss Laura Ruff of New Decatur, Ala. On the side of tbe chancel to- t ward which stood the bride and ber maids, i beautifully overarched and formed of flowers, i was tbe letter"E" (Elliott,) on the other side i where tbe groom and bis attendants stood c 4- was the letter "J," (Johnson.) The minister who officiated at the altar was the Rev. Char- I k - les E. McDonald. The bridal party ien me j church to the music of Mendelssohn' t , "March," the dame of honor with the best t , man, the Rev. E. B. Kennedy, of Bartow, t Kla., the attendants following In order, ; v MAIDS OF HONOR. J The four little girls who announced the 1 approach of the party were Misses .Nell 1 Elliott, Christine and Isabel Gooding and jQlla Flenniken, The maids of honor were young ladles, all in their teens, nieces of the bride and groom, each of them being the 1 oldest daughter of either a brother or a sister ( ' of one of the contracting parties. These maids were Miss Alice Johnson, of Washing- ton, D, C.; Miss Mary Balrd, of Charlotte, t N.C.; Miss Mary Cummlngs, of Columbia, 8. C.; Miss Mary Matthews, of Wlnnsboro, S. t C.; Miss Helen McDonald, of Wlnnsboro, S. I n and Miss Carrie Elliott, of Wlnnsboro, 8. C. Their nw?ie attendants were Dr. Adam * Wideman, Mr.. Elliott Matthews, Mr. Orlei Presaiy, Mr. Robert Ketcbin, Mr. Gooding i and Mr. George McMaster. i'I " Against tbe ricb green decorations the pure ( white, dresses of tbe bridesmaids showed to the greatest advantage, while their bouquets ( of pink chrysanthemums only jtave a soft i tone to tbe surrounding already delicate i effect. The bride's gown, a most becoming i one, was unrelieved by any toucb of color, i except tbe green |n a handsome bunch 01 | .- carnatlonH. The wedding was one of tbt prettiest that has been celebrated in Wlnnj- \ i>oro In many a year and will not be soon for- i gotten, ior It means to tbe town#.the loss ol . one who has always been popular, and Justly | BO. WEDDING PRESENTS. . ? , ? v The bridal presents, many of which wer< jV.V >. ' quite costly as well as useful, amounted in 1 jp' number to upwards of a hundred, exclusive 1 of tbe sliver table-ware and the drugget* 1 which tbe ladles of tbe groom's church at Les- 6 & * ' - He united In presenting- Among the varletj J of gifts presented was to be found every arti * ; ' cle of furniture necessary to be used on tbe . . table, lncludinK 1n abundance chlnaware, glassware and sliver. Indeed, In tbe one item of silver spoons the aggregate was 103 h One dear little "tot," evidently in doubt what , form would be best to turn her money Into for { a bridal gift, left the conundrum for the brldt ; and groom and presented a five dollar gold , j?v - . ; . i leee. = The bride is tbe youngest of a family ol : eight children, all living and all married ? born and reared In Fairfield County, of wbicb " . Wlnnsborols the county town, Mr. Thomab , K. Elliott, president of tbe Winnsborc J N National Bank and also of tbe Wlnnsborc ! <. Cotton Factory, being the oldest. The father. tbe late, Henry L.

In a ripe old age, the lov- t ing tribute of children and grandchildren, i> s ' - a home about wblcb tbe old time grace of " Southern hospitality still clings. , Tbe bride or today, like ber sisters before | ber, was educated at Due West, 8. C., a noted norsery of good womanhood. The fruitage of tbat place seems to have a special charm for 8eceder preachers. Tbey are constantly plucking of It. Fully eighty per cent of tbe , ministers of tbat denomination (tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterian) have wlve>i taken from among tbe graduates of tbe Due West Female College. Tbe groom was born and reared in Ab , bevllle County In this State, being on tbe side of his mother a descendent of one of tne , original Huguenot families which settled Id that oounty in 1764. He was graduated from Ereklne College at Due West, S. C., but hie theological course of three years wa6 at Princeton. N. J. . Tbe church at Leslie in York County, 8. C., of which he has been pastor since )85H, In one of tbe oldest and largest in tbe Seceder denomination, having been organized / . by Scotob-Irlsb settlers in 1787. And, by ibe way, tbe young lady who goes with him tcday as a bride into tbe beautilul manse ot mother, of the revered Thomas Kelchln, familiarly known as "Father" Ketchln, who wai called over seventy yearn ago to minister to the people ol that community. ''Father" Ketchln Is long since dead, but bis memory Is still fresh among the people Into whose midst his granddaughter goes now as the bHde of tbelr present honored and beloved A . pastor. A MIDNIGHT KILLING. .,. . . Death of an Aged nnd Well Kiowd Resident. We learn that one night recently Mr. Wakellng, who lives at the Ancrum place, ? was aroused from bis slumbers during the hoars or the night when graveyards are said to yawn. An ominous noise proceeded from the piazza. Realizing that bis property, a* r well as bis life, might be endangered, Mr. . Wakellmc prepared nimsell for the worst. His best gun was grasped, and with It In band he quietly went to a window and peeping tbrougb the glass from which, in the dark ness, he discovered the form of the being who wan trying, to enter bis dwelling steathlly 1 during the silent watches. Drawing the cur- J tains to one Bide be, In tbe exercise of tbe ? /-' % divine right of self-protection, raised tbe Are arm. Firing through ibe glass window, a 1 crash and a loud report startled the other s Inmates of tbe bouse, and tbe neghbora wondered the cause ol the unusual proceeding. The victim fell heavily to tbe floor, and tbe feelings which Instantly overcame Mr. Wakellngare seldom realized. He ielt tbat his hands were now imbued with human blood, but ibe thought that be had acted solely in defenoe of himself and his property, soothed bis aching heart. After the first shock bad passed away thoughts of tbe coroner, tbe courts, the lawyers and the jurors, divided time. Finally, he sallied forth to the scene of blood and death. A dying form lay bleeding upon the floor, a gray beard was streaked with crimson, and in a little while the flowing life-tide had done its work. All a t were in the presence of death. Tbe two-dollar Billy (Joat, for which Mr. Wakellng so recently paid Messrs. A. M. Hill & Hons eight dollars, lay dead.

His text was taken from . ialatlonsG and 7?"Be not deceived; God if- ,c lot mocked, for whatsoever a man sowetb, a bat sball he also reap." He said there wai- h ireeplng Into the church a form of lufldellty hat trusted to the goodness and mercy oi ai Jod. That pointed to tbe beauties In nature. 11 )ut amid all tbese there Is a voice of warning ^ hich points to wrath, destruction and death, is showu by tbe fading rose leaves, tbe tall ai ng leaves of the forest aud tht awful tornado ii bat rends the oak that has withstood tbe tl itorms of a hundred years. Men rusb on aDd will not Investigate spiritual things as tbey lo in business affairs of this life, tbus decelv- vt ng themselves as to luture rewards and fci punishment. "As a mtrti sows, so sball he ilso leap." sow sin and reap sin, sow righte- , jusness and reap reward. Sins and evil deed tl lnnds live on through eternity working out 11 more and more. A man can no more sin and ;xpect to reap reward than he can how wheat ind expect to harvest a crop of coru, the 6' aws of nature are fixed pnd like begets like, oi to It is in the spiritual harvest. Men and ? women are only sowing their "wild oats," jut oh! wbat will tbe harvest be, what can ? ibey expect to reap, but whaj they have w >own ? By such sowing, are made ungodly ij( lomen?broken hearts and ruined lives which are contributing annually to the filling >f our jails and penitentiaries. The great juestlou for us Is, "what are we Eowing as ndlviduals?" We are sowing day by day. or our reaping bye and bye. May God help is that we may not be deceived.

Leaf Out of ft Newspaper Keporter"? Early Experience. "My first assignment," said an old rejrtor, "was to find out whether someidy was in town, or something of that >rt. I know thera was nothing to be ritten about it. I got the information ad reported to tbo city editor. That was il I had to do that day. For the rest of io day I sat around the offlco and looked a with an infatuation that has never debased. The next day I got my sccond isiguiuont. In this thcro was something ?write about. "The city editor handed me a narrow ttlo strip of white tissue paper out from a loot of ship news and containing, in two nes of writing, information that two lasrers had been washed overboard from io barge So-and-so, laden with ore, comig up the bay in tow of the tug So-and? Wlint T TO no fn fin tens til act, tho factfl bout the ocourrenco nnd write thora. "Tho city editor said that if I would nd tho consignees of the barge or the tvner of tho ttig I would get on the trnco f the story. The names of tho consignees ere in the two lines of ship nows, and mply by looking in the directory I found ioir office without the slightest trouble, hero I learned whero tho cargo was tied p. It was at a wharf in Hoboken or reohawken, I don't remember which, and mado for that. When I turned from the Tcet down tho wharf, thcro she was, tied p alongside, her namo on the wheelhouse. ho was about half unloaded, and men ere still at work carrying off tho ore. "I was not altogether without experiice in life, but I had never done anything lat gave me quito tho satisfaction that it id to find that ore barge in my first acial experience as a reporter. Tho captain ras aboard, and so were the surviving lembers of the little party of laborers rho had started up the bay in her, and so 'le whole story was right there. I sat on io stritfgpieco of the wharf and talked rith the captain of tho boat. He told the ;ory with entire willingness. Of course jere was no reason why ho shouldn't, and ]en I went back to the ofiico and wroto ; up. It was not a great story. I knew iat. It was like thousands of stories that le newspapers aro sending after all the me, of tho manifold daily occurrence of fe, but I must put it together in good jape, get in all the faots and put the ,ory in the smallest space. "In the morning I went out and got a ?per before breakfast. I wanted to read ly story of the loss of the men from the re barge. I looked the pnper over, and, ly gracious, I couldn't find it all I I lought they must have left it out altoether, but when I camo to look the paper ?er again I found'it?a scant stickful, ith a single line head. "But when I camo to read-It over I mnd that the facts were all thero. They ad simply been brought closer together y a method of condensation far more aouto ian mine and had then been set in agate rpe."?New York Sun. Importan :e of Regular Living. A question has lately arisen as to the ln ease or the revorso in nervous diseases, irae arguing that the cause of the supDsed inoreasein such nervous diseases lies i the increased demand made by the conItions of modern lifo upon the brain. It quite true that the conditions of life are ary different nowadays from what they ere n few years ago. We now live in a high ressuro age, and in one of keen competion, when greater effort is needed in every ranch of life to attain a successful posion, when the brain is always working ad there is constant tension. Such conItions, it will be perfectly obvious to all, re not favorable to a diminution of nervas dlsoases, but rather the reverse. At le same time, It cannot be denied that ie comforts of lifo have increased. We ot?o hnf-.te?* nnnit-jiMrm. nleaner houses and esher air. There can be no question that men of igular habits are healthier, happier, live mger and do more tiiun those who obey iprice and impulse. The adoption of ygienio habits saves the nervous system enormous amount of friction and waste, i preserves vitality. Regularity econoilzes not only physical stamina, but time 3 well. The man who knows no system i the details of his life, who exhausts naire at the instance of a passing whim, ho drinks and smokes to excess, who astes the talents bestowed upon him, la ie one who must sooner or later fall a viom to disease. Regularity and moderaon in all things should be the motto of fe, and it should be remembered that igularity does not necessarily preclude the njoyment of variety.

A Puzzled Author. The San Francisco Argonaut tells an musing story about Alphonse Daudet. rhen he brought out "Sappho," an Amerian publishing house that Issues religious wks, not knowing its character, offered [. Daudet a large sum for advance Bheets t the work. Ho accepted the offer, and 10 advance sheets were sent. When the ablishers received them, they decided that ley could not issuo the book, and they ibled to the author, " 'Sappho' will not 3.' This dispatch puzzled Daudet. He insulted with numbers of friends, and lis was the conclusion at which they /entually arrived: "Sappho" in French i spelled with one "p"?"Sapho," after le Greek fashion. In English It is spelled ith two. An unusually aouto friend alnted this out to Daudet, whioh much ilieved the novelist, and he cabled baok ) the publishers, "Spell it with two p's." : is needless to state that the publishers ere more astonished at Dandet's reply lan ho had been at their cable dispatch. Japanese Journalism. "Japanese journalism," says a mlssionry'a wife, "is a singular profession in lany of its features. Tbore is praotioally 0 such thing as freedom of the press in apan. Whenever a newspaper publishes nnething unfriendly to the government 1 is suppressed and the editor is sent to rison. The real editor is never imprisned, though.
