Calhoun Falls Sold
To Highest Bidder
The Town "Knocked Down" to
Judge VV. F. Cox of Anderson.
Amount Realized Was Small.
Special to The State.
Anderson, Not. 6.?Practically
the entire town of Calhoun Falls,
in Abbeville county, at the crossing
of the Seaboard Air Line aod
Charleston and Western Carolina
railroads was sold at auction yes
terday. The property consisted
of 700 acres of land which bad
been surveyed into town lots and
has minor improvements. It was
bid in by Judge W. F. Cox of
Anderson for 914,000, or at the
rate of 929 an acre. There was
no otbei bidder.
The property belonged te a
syndicate composed of Anderson,
Charleston and Atlanta business
men and known as the Western
Carolina Land and Improvement
company. The land was bought
*p by the company about 15
years ago soon after the two railroads
were built through it. It
was their intention to build a city
there, but the effort resulted in a
painful failure. The land cost
the company originally about
917,000 and considerable money
was spent in improvements, a hotel
and several storerooms were
built. Then a great auction sale
of lots was announced aod a lot
f money was spent in advertising
and booming the future of the
town, but when the auction eame
off the number of lots sold did
not pay the expense of the sale.
Later on iD 1893 another effort
was made to get the town on its
feet, but after a great deal more
money had been spent in advertising
and booming the panic of 1893
came aleng and the whole thing
went to smash.
The company contracted a
heavy indebtedness and the sale
yesterday was made by consent of
the stockholders for the purpose
f winding up its affairs and going
eut of business. it is said :
the proceeds of the sale will just
abeut pay the preferred stockholders
and indebtedness, but the
original stockholders whe first i
put their monsy in will not get 1
anything. i
Judge Cox the new purchaser, 1
says he intends to form a new <
company for the parpose ef de-. 1
eloping the property, but says it will
be some time before the <
plans can be given out. The 700
acres lies along the two lines of <
railroad, which cross at that t
place, hut the land does net touch '
the Savannah river, which is only *
two miles distant. Some of the ^
parties who bought lots at the 1
original auction have been paying
taxes on them ever since, but 1
others have not and no improve* *
ments have ever been made. ?
The city of Calhouo started out *
a skyrocket and came down like
a etiek. What its fate will be
tinder the new ownership remains
te be seen.

PRETTY CHURCH WEDDING
Marriage of Miss Addle Carter to
Mr Thomas Thoma.sson.
TheMethodist Episcopal Church
South, of Lancaster, S. C., broke
her record Wednesday afternoon,
Nov. 5, 1902, there being for the
first time in her history a marriage
celebrated at her altar. It
was the nuptial occasion of Mr.
Thomas Thomasson and Miss Addie
Kershaw Carter, both of Ltncas- j
ter. I
When it was learnedJthat Miss
Annie Witherspeon had the super- ^
mtendence of the decorations ,
everybody, with ono consent, ,
agreed that they would be a dream
of artistic taste and beauty, and
so they were.
The pretty little church had j
been thought ill-constructed for I
very elaborate floral adornment i
but its possibilities had been un.
derrated. The platform, chancel
and surroundings were neatly
covered with white. Hack of the
platform there wore profusions of
ferna, palms and other graceful
foliage.
The railing was trimmed with
inns. ?nd tfio nmon inn ? ?
wmv \/k g??u vw nao ui
ed with trailing greenery, with a
large clubter of chrysanthemums
crowning the whole. Circling the
folding doors, leading into the
anteroom, were garlands of ivy
interspersed with white chrysanthemums;
and the stained-glass,
Gothic windows were curtained
with trailing vines and furostle&ves;
the chandeliers were covered
with softest rose -pink shades,
and delicate sprays of smilax,
lending an indescribable charm to
the seene, when lighted. Immediatelybefore
the bridal party arrived
Mrs S. W. Heath of Kershaw,
S. C., whose fame as a musician,
and especially for rendering
wedding-marches, has gone
abroad, touched the opening bars
of a low, sweet accompaniment
and Mrs. ,T. II. Bold ridge sang
in subdued tones, and with fine
effect: "1 Would Not Live
Without Thee."
At the close of the last strain
Mendelsohn's wodding march,
famous for its stately chords,
sounded, and soon the first heralds
of the coming pageantry walked
with dignified tread down the mid-'
die aisle.
The order was thus: First
came the ushers, Messrs. Marion
Witherspoon, Will Williams, Will
Reed and Glenmore Barron. They
marched two and two to the chance',
divided, crossed, and stood
on opposite sides of the platform.
Then came Miss Florence Thomasion,
sister of the groom, with Mr 1
Charles Carter. They also crossed
at chancel and passed to opposite
sides on platform. Then came
Miss Weetie Mobloy, of Black* <
stock, S. C., with Mr. D. Reece
Williams, Jr., they likewise crosssd
at chance] and mounted separate
sides of platform, so also did Miss
Una Payseur and Mr. Church
Carroll, of Ynrkville, S. C., and *
Miss Florence Brown and Mr. 1
John Crawford. (
The bridesmaids were attired in *
vhite organdie and pink sashes (
ind earned pink roses. Their 1
gowns were decolete. The l
groomsmen weie dressed in full *
.vening suits, and wore a white 8
:hrysanthemum on lapel, so also ?
lid the ushers. *
Then came Mrs. Glenmore Baron,
dame of honor. She wore a ^
vhite organdie, white sash and
tarried white chry santhemums. 2
She crossed to opposite side of S
datform. Then came Mrs. Will (

"> 1 * - -
\eeu, name of honor. She wore j
vhite organdie, pink sash and car- c
ried pink chrysanthemums. She fc
irossed and stood opposite the 1
>ther dame of honor. Then fok P
owed the little flower girls, Misses
\nnie Carter McCrorey and Per y
Belle Bennett. The former
vas robed in white organdio 1'
>ver white satin, and the latter (
in pink organdie over pink satin.
They carried dainty aprons filled
with violets. Last canie the bride
leaning on the arm of her maid of
honor, Miss Lucretia Mobley of
Black9tocks, who wore a handsome
dress of white organdie over
pink taffeta, and carried bouquet
of American Beauty roses. The
bride was composed, stylish and
lovely. Her wedding costume
was magnificent. The gown was
of pure white duchess satin,
trimmed in pearl and exquisite
ruchings andlace and the court train
swept several yards. The veil of
most delicate tulle swept with
train, and was caught on coiffure
with sunburst of diamonds and
pearls, gift of the groom. She
carried brides roses and lace-like
ferns tied with long streamers of
white satin ribbon. Seldom do
we behold so queenly a bride as
was Mrs. Thomas Thomasson, nee
Miss Addie Carter, as she stood
on the platform in her superb
marriage paraphernalia. The
groom was handsome and proud,
and faultlessly attired in full evening
suit. He met the bride-elect
at the altar; the best man, Mr.
Pu.ll MnVaill ' * V 1 II? O /I
? uui UIVIIUIH) Oi iUltlVlllC, O. Vj.,
attended him, and stood at his
elbow, ready to assist in the ring
ceremony. He was stately and
calm and elegantly attired in evening
suit.
The whole party faced the
audience, which is an improvement
upon the oldfashoned way of
turning the back. The marriage
ceremony was conducted by Rev.
Dr. S. A. Weber, of Yorkvillo,
assisted by Rev. J. M. Steadman,
pastor Lancastei M. E. Church.
It was ritualistic, beautiful and
binding.
As the married couple quitted
the church the tiny flower-girls
preceded them, strewing their
new pathway with flowers from
their aprons. Upon leaving the
church the entire party, with a
few friends, were driven to the
residence of Cnpt. MeOrorey,
where a recherche reception was
given.
Bridal couple left on evening
train for Chester, en ronte to
Washington and other points.
The presents were numerous, j
choice and costly.
The morning of their life is'
sweet with promises, may their j
evening show the full realization. 1
