"T " ' ' ' The Press and Banner I WW. 4k W. R. BRADLEY. Editor* ABBEVILLE, 8. C. ^Published every Wednesday at |2 a j*ar In arivann*. Wednesday, Hay 4,1910. Pretty Editor of Medium Marries. Most of those who witnessed the marriage ceremony of Miss Grace Hemphill and Mr. D. A. Rogers which was solemnized in the A. R. P. Church, on last Thursday evening, April the 28th, say that it was one of the prettiest and most impressive weddings ever held in the city. Were we to write all the eulogies of that service we would fill a book. In point of interest it has been surpassed by few such ceremonies. The A. R. P. Church was graced and garlanded with the prettiest flowers until it looked like a fairy garden of the storied past. Festoons and vignettes and wreathes of beautiful evergreens and lovely flowers were in the greatest pro iusion ana yet in most pieasing oraer. The choir loft was separated from the body of the church by a hedge of cedar and flowers. Opposite the choir loft a similar space was similarly hedged in for the convenience of members of the family and for the pianist and singers. Before the arrival of the bridal couple the church was packed. Scores were un-' able to get seats and numbers could not get inside the church. Anticipating the coming of the bride and groom Miss Fannie Stark sang in her best expression the song, "0 Thou Art Like a Flower," charming the audience with the most pleasing melody known?a cultured voioe. At the approach of the bridal couple, Hiss Lorena Beacham, the church organist, played that grand old wedding march which has kept time to the tying up of ao many of us?old but ever new. > , .. The first attendants to enter the church were Messrs Gotlob Neuffer and Robert Coleman, nephews of the bride. These i - young men looked so splc and span that, ! not knowing, one would have thought that i . ' ther were about to become grooms them- i , "r' selves. After them were Messrs Wilson Johnson and Herman Benton, both of i whom will nrnhnhlv nlnv flrct AHHIa at. a similar service soon. i Next were Misses Hannah and Carrie I ,J-\ Cochran beautifully gowned and beautiful i In their gowns, followed by Miss Minnie < Greene and Miss Sharp, both adorned by i ' > nature and art to such a degree as to remind us of the fairy princesses of our boyhood lore. i :rt - -Then came two "sure-enough" fairies in i y the persons of Mary Greene and Florence < Neuffer unmindful of the rythm of the < music, but bubbling over with true fairy ? Spirit they came tripping in with smiles and gay abandon. Next came a most staid little Miss who was prettier than the flowers she carried and sweeter than their escence in her maidenly bearing?Eugenia Coleman. ;She missed not a beat of the wedding march but each little foot marked the time with a master stroke. The Dame of Honor, sister to the bride, Mrs, Gertrude Sign followed, and led the way for the groom who entered with his "beet man," Mr. Clyde Morgan. . The last to" enter was the bride, who ' never looked lovelier, on the arm of her her- - toother, Mr. James Hemphill. The bride was resplendent in the sheen and shimmer of silks and flowers and glory, and all , j there lacked -of the Homeric goddess was i the lambent flame and the effulgent | aureola, which wag more than balanced by , personal charms. Beautiful white peonies , she carried and with such grace that we expect peonies to take the place of brides "...Groses hereafter. < Eev. E. B. Kennedy, pastor of the bride, , perforated the ceremony, using the ring, < which was emblematical and impressive, j and new for A. R. Fs. j After the ceremony the family gathered at the home of Mrs. R. R. Hemphill where j the wedding feast was held. Thus a manly young man and a woman- j ly young woman have plighted their troth, ] and as they launch their matrimonial ship j we here and now break a glass thereon in | its christening with best wishes and ( hearty congratulations, hoping that the j storms will be short, that the shoals will j be absent, and that eternal sunshine will j follow their hallowed craft through the j voyage of life. Conet Tales and High Bread. . There was once a writer in the time of Queen Elizabeth, y'clept Leonard Digges, who did dig most asiduously into things | astronomical and eke who was a seer of renown. He did in the year 1576 in ye towne of London write a most wonderful work entitled "Prognostication Enverlastinge." In it this wonderfully wise man says: ' 'Comltes signifle corruption of the ayre. They are signes of earthquakes, of warres, of chAncvlnir nf bvncrrtmnps trrpatA H dearthe of come, yea, a common death of Wm mac and beast." Kg First "cometes sign! fie corruption of the B ayre." Greenwood and Anderson are unKgl certain yet what the trouble is with their mm atmosphere. It has even affected "moonH shine" in Greenville, and in Charleston the water has been so "cometized" that |H nobody dares drink it. Kgl . Second, "they are signes of earthquakes, (evidently the writer meant cyclones, for , did not a cyclone hit the U. S. Senate only fin last we?k and square in the face?) "Of gj warres and of changying kyngdoms," and what could be truer? The Democrats are going to win out in the next fight "as sure $9 as grass grows round the stump." The next terror that this Elizabethian quill pusher flabbergasts us with is a "Greate dearthe of corne!" Holy smoke! H Now who will raise any objection to the |H laughing gas theory? A "Greate dearthe |W of corne!" and corn already out of sight, up a tree, on a limb, in a hole! Wonder if ha, meant to include fat backs in his tariff? this wise seer, Digges, knew that it would not do to leave us in such misery sH so he kills the whole "shootin' match" I?"yea, a common death to man and beast, he says will be the result, so, watch the comet! Odd Fellows Meet. On Thursday night May 5, the Odd Fellows of Abbeville will entertain the De_ grree team from Elberton, Ga,, all the Odd Fellows of the city will take |notice? and come out.

We Itelieve In freedom here, sufh laws for us. If a boy is easily astray just let him go, who cares? will not bind ourselves down with ; tanical rules oil account of such seiitin The state is not rosiiousiblc for tho what has the town to do with res children? Let the fathers and mot take care of that. If a boy learns ho1 smoke cigarettes in the pool room 1 difference does it make to the town? ought to be home at work or at study, is no affair of the town, let his mai look after him. If the boy loses his politeness gentlemanly instincts in the peccam mosphere of the pool room who cares is his business, not the town's. "Who heard tell of an evil thought being exp ed over the pious expanse of a pool l anyhow? These fellows who make laws and talk such rot about pool ti and pool rooms being unhealthy for morals of the average young Amei are Pharisees and Puritans. They never enjoyed life themselves and in sequence they do not wish anyone els do so. Who, pray, cares about the time wo -1 1 +;m at puui uiuitro; it uy uvu ??u.?to uuj there as anywhere else?

If a boy is bad he is If he is good he is good, and environi has nothing to do with the matter, your sun-shine-color-in-the-flower stor the birds, who credits it? What do you think of a man, too, would not employ a pool room hal 'imply because he was afraid of the t habits? Doesn't it occur to you that i an one is a copper rivited, brass 1 steel re-inforced old fogey?

We are yours for elbow r ind swing and scope and latitude and lependence and immunity, and ag? ;hrall and tutelage and subjection and ipron string and the yoke. Infair to South Carolina's Delegal (Contributed.) Zach McGhees articles written f Washington are always readable, and 1 are generally fair. In an article app ing in The State of last Tuesday, how< he was unfair to representatives in 1 ?ress generally, and especially so to t; 5f his own State. Amongst other things he asserted "no State sends its best man to Cong :>r ever did." This is a sweeping assen ind for one as well informed as Mr. 3hee is, and for one as free as we thinl s of any kind of animus, it is hari 'athom.

Is Sir. Mc- . Ghee's judgment to be set up against the j istcd combined wisdom and patriotism of the e State. 1 aves Could it possibly be that Mr. McGhee has j y some ulterior motive in thus giving our is it representatives a stab. "Say not thou, \ i, no What is the cause that the former days ' were better than these? for thou dost not ' J be enquire wisely concerning this?" , irder To say the least of it, Mr. McGhee's arti- i x>ys, cle was uncharitable if not wholly untrue. 1 i ,ac- m iheir ( i a n> D>u?a llnAlinAo In Arront ftall tn UL'UL VI* DUJUC vcvilliwa iv nvvvpi ?? .?

Immediately after the marriage ** the bridal party anil relatives of the eon- : tracting parties enjoyed an elegant reception at the home of the bride.
