Batesburg Notes.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Since I wrote last the "matrimonial
alliance" has flourished in our
town. On a pretty Sabbath afternoon,
Bev. Dr. Wilkins was aroused
trom his study and beheld at the
door Mr. James Whittle and Miss
Claudie Bikard. Their misson soon
became known and calling the members
of the household to witness the
pleasant ceremony, the Doctor proceeded
to unite them in the marriage
state. I
One beautiful evening the Mefcbo
diet church was tastefully decorated,
a large number of friends assembled
and accompanied by handsomely
dressed gentlemen and beautifully
gowned ladies, Miss Emma Bawl and
Mr. S. B. Oartlege presented themselves*
at the chancel, and Bey. E. T
Hodges read the marriage ceremony
and pronounced the happy twin one
in life's tempestous voyage
Again, at the Baptist ohurcb, after
? L:.L l:_L
ft few weeKs, expectancy wmcu uigutened
the interest, the marriage of
Hiss Eva Jones, daughter of the
Xayor of onr town, to Prof. D. W.
Daniel of Glemson College, was solemnized.
Dainty fingers had spent
days in festooning the chureb, decorations
in every conspicious place,
were arranged. , The time was high
noon, the shades were down, the
room darkened and numbers of can
dies let their tiny lights ill amine the
seene. Mendlesshon's wedding march
burst forth; urshersin regal attire advanoed
up the aisles. Bev A. J. S.
Thomas, of Greenville, and Bev. W.
W. Daniel, of the Columbia Female
College, took their positions. Several
gentlemen attendants, with an
equal number of magnificently dressed
young ladies, proceeded noiselessly
to their positions, wben Mayor Jones,
with his lovely daughter leaning on
his arm, met the groom at the altar
where an impressive ceremony, the
two distinguished divines plighted
the troth of their two hearts for better
or worse during the uncsrtaintainties
of life.
But the Scriptures clearly says the
feasting and mourning go hand in
* hand and hardly had the rattle of the
- earriages of the bridal partyjoeased
when the bell of the Methodist church
tolled out the solemn funeral dirge.
Mrs. W. A. Crouch, who has suffered
long and patiently, succumbed to the
power of the fell destroyer at 3 o'clock
this morning. Her pastor, the Bev.
2. T. Hodges, preached her funeral,
and the now lies in the City of the
Dead to await the resurrection morn
Col. G. T. Graham passed through
town yesterday. He is industriously
working up the electric line and we
trust he will be suecessrut, ana tnai
whatever route is taken Bate&burg offers
more business to the road than
any point yet mentioned therewith.
The Till man-God ziles tragedy in
Columbia caused the most profound
sensation in this community that I
can recall in memory. Occasional.

A Bashful Bridegroom.
A friend sends us the following
story: "When I was young I was
the most bashful boy west of the
Allegbanies. I wouldn't look at a
girl, mnch lees speak to a maiden;
bat for all that I feel desperately in
love with a aweefc beautiful neighbor
girl. It was a desirable match on
both aides, and the old folks saw the
drift and fixed it up. I thought I
should die thinking of it. I was a
gawky, awkward country lout, about
19 years of age; ebe a refined and
fairly well eduoated girl in a country
and at a time when girls had eupel

rior advantages, and were, therefore,
superior in 2ulture to the boys. I
| fixed the day off as far as I could
have it put. I lay awake in cold
! perspiration as the time drew near
; and I shivered with agony as I
I thought of the terrible ordeal. The
dreadful day came; I went through
the program somehow in a dozed,
confused, mechanical way; the guests
one by one departed, and my hair
began to stand on end, felt like fleeing
to the woods, or spending the
night in the barn, or leaving for the
West never to return. I was deeply
| devoted to Sallie; I loved her harder
| than a mule can kick; but that dread
[ ful ordeal I could not, I dare not
| stand it. Finally the last guest was
f gone, the bride retired, the family
gone to bed, and I was left with the
old man. JohD, said he, 'you can
take that candle; you will find your
I room just above this. Good night
John, and may the Lord have mercy
on your soul, and with a mischievous
twinkle of the eye the old man left
, the room. When I heard him slam
a distant door I staggered to my feet
and seized the candle with a nervous
grasp. I knew that it could not be
avoided, yet I hesitated to meet my
fate like a man. A happy tbonght
struck me. I hastily climbed the
stairs, marked the position of the
landing and the other door of the
bridal chamber. I could have disrobed
in that holy chamber, where
awaited me a trembling girl. I
therefore decided to make the nsual
preparations without, blew out the
light, open the door and friendly
darkness would at least mitigate the
horror of the situation. It was soon
done,, the dreadful moment bad
come, I was ready, I blew out the
light, grasped the door-knob with a
deathly and nervous grasp. One
moment and it would be over. I
leaped within and there, around a
glowing hickory fire, with candle
brightly burning on ih* bur-au, waB
the blushing bride surrounded by
the six lovely bridesmaid?!"

' The XCilitia BilL
Washington, Jan. 21.?President
Roosevelt this afternoon signed the
militia bill in the presence of Secretary
Root, Secretary Shaw, Assistant
Secretary Sanger, members of the
house committee on military affairs
and others. After the president had
signed the bill, Secretary Root delivered
a brief speech of congratulation
on the enactment of so excellent
a measure. General Dick, the author
of the bill, and the president of
the national guard association, made
a fitting response. President Roosevelt
then spoke of the merits of the
bill. He expressed the hope that no
president e^cr would be confronted
by such an emergency as would render
it necessary for him to avail himself
of the services of the troops
provided for in the bill, but congratulated
the committee and the country
on its enactment, t nd said be regarded
the citizen soldiery of the nation
as a most important factor in the
protection of the country.

Croup.
The pecoliar con* b which indicates
croup, is usually well known to the
mothers of croupy children. No time
should be lost ia the treatment of it,
and for this purpose no medicine has
received more universal approval than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do
not waste valuable time in experimenting
with untried remedies, no matter
how highly they may be recommended,
but give this medicine as directed
and all symptoms of croup will
quickly disappear. For sale by Kaufmann

Quite Somelike.
A little boy was taken by his parents
to a theater to witness the performance
of a domestic comedy,
duriog one of the acta cf which an
altercation takes place between the
supposed m^n and wife.
Having arrived home, his mother
asked him to tell the guest how he
liked the play.
"I liked it very well." lisped the
child, looking up at his mother,
"But why did that lady and gentle
man quarrel in the presence of sc
many peoplt? When you and papa
quarrel, you alwayB shut all the doors
and windows so tbat nc one can bear
you.''
