county. Rev. Mr. Sheel per1
3 It
lormea tee ceremony.
The house was beautifully decorated
with palms, ferns, evergreens,
calla lillies and cut flowers, arranged
with rare artiBtic taste by many of the
bride's friends. The parlor was brilliantly
illuminated harmonizing with
ground of roses ' and evergreens,
making the room a fitting
bower for the throne of Cupid.
The wedding march was softly and
sweetly touched by Miss Alice Younginer
of Columbia. Promptly at the
appointed hour, 8:30, the wedding
march was sounded and the attendants
formed couples iu the following
order; The bride's leaders were Mr.
Evins, of Augusta, Ga., and Mr.
Manole Hammonds,> of Columbia.

and Miss Cora Geiger, of
Charleston, S. C. Mr. Loney Ellisor
and Miss Pearl Stiller, both of Columbia.

Camden, and Miss Lottie BaDge, of

and groom. The groom, Mr. S. A.
Hughes, leaning on the arm of his
best man, Mr. John A. Maybin, of

Atlanta Censtitution,
A good lady, a neighbor and a
friend, bought one of my books and
J I 1 _L
expressed uer pleasure ai> its perusm,
bat found one fault that did not harmonize
with her Hebrew feelings, for
she is a Jewess. < In two; places she 1
found a sportive anecdote that re- '1
fleeted upon some of her people;1>:iit"
thej were too good to be surpressed, 1
and would have to be told on Gen- 1
tiles as well. My respect for the
Jews has been too often expressed in \
V ; yi\ .. ^
my letters to be questioned. It is
not mere respect but wonder and admiration.
I rejoice with them that the
ages of persecution have passed, and
they can now worship God according
to their conscience and the faith of
their fathers. Their ancestors appeared
at the very dawn of creation.
They nave been broken up and scattered
time and again, but have preserved
their sacred literature and
custom and religion, and have outlived
every nation that have oppressed
them. They have had no king
nor ruler nor political head, and
have been scattered among all climes
and peoples, but have never lost their
nationality nor mixed their blood
wil-b (inv nfhpr ncnnlfl Thpv fmvo
for centuries struggled against tbe
Egyptians, Syrians and Romans, and
survived them all. They were in later
centuries precribed by the Catholics
of Spain, the Protestants of Norway,
while their persecutors sang tbe
songs of the Psalmists and taught
the wisdom of their prophets. We
rejoice that their deliverance from
persecution came along with that of
our own when we proclaimed religions
liberty and civil equality to all
who made America their home. I
have long admired that people, who
have excelled ia domestic virtue, in
obedience to law, whose children
honor and obey they parents. Rarely
among them are found convicts or
criminals or suicides, or divorced
men or women. Their names seldom
appear on the dockets of the
courts. And yet they are patriots
when patriots are wanted. Koscuiusko
had no braver troop9 than the Polish
Jews who followed his banner,
and if I had to name tbe most faith
ful soldier in our own Civil War I
would name Jodbs of our town of
Rome, a Jew who never shirked a
duty or avoided a battle or loitered
on a marched. We have not forgotten
how he came to time after a
long day's march from the Chickahominy
to Rapidan, and when the
colonel said, "Mr. Jonas, where is
your company?" the tired soldier
came to a salute and Baid, "I ish
der komp'ny." That Jonas was an
uncle to Israel Jonas, who all Atlanta
knew, and who is now p.ominent in
New York commercial circles.
With great reverence do I recall our !
own Judah F. Benjamin, our Secretary
of War, and on whom Mr. Davis
leaned for consel more than any member
of his cabinet. He was a great
Englishman or he could not have
gone to England and worked his way
to the very top of the English, bar,
and within eight years be appointed
queen's counsel over the most learned

not forgotten the perfect loveliness
of the Jewish Rebacca in Scott's
story of Ivanhoe. You may find
broken vows and separations and
elopements in fact and in fiction, but
not amoDg the Jews. They are in
every town and city and are more of
an example than a menace to our
people and our institutions. Their
names are found responding to every
charity, and I noticed that the university
fund was materially aided
by their liberality, and I could not
help wondering how much our
Christian people would have given to
lid some great JewiBh school or
charity.
I would like to write more about
these Hebrews, for, as St. Paul said
to the Romans, "with them was committed
the oracles of God." But I
am not well today, and must defer to
a more propitious season.
In my last letter I made a mistake
that must be corrected. I said there
were but ten months until Julius
Csesar and Augustus Caesar put in
two more and named them July and
August. Somehow I have had that
impression all my mature life, and,
Btrange to say, I was corrected a few
days ago by my good friend Gassett,
a mulatto merchant of our town, who
is well educated and a student of
ancient history. He wrote me a respectful:
letter and said that Numa, a
Roman emperor, who reigned two
hnndrpd And fiffcv vpatb hpfnrp flip
Caesars, put in January and February
for the two months, and the Caesars
osly changed the names of Quintiles
add&extiles (tha fifth and sixth) to
July and August. So I make the
correction with pleasure and give the
credit to friend Gasset. Bill Arp.

Columbia State.
Governor Heywood has appointed
General Wilie Jones, of Columbia, a
Director of the State Dispensary to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr. Dukes. As soon as the people
read in the State that General
Wilie Jones had received and accepted
the appointment as a member of
the Board of Directors of the State
Dispensary, Governor Heyward was
the recipient of many messages of
congratulation over the long distance
phone and by parties calling
in person. Among those who called
to express their satisfaction was exSenator
D. S. Henderson, of Aiken,
Mr. H. H. Evans, the Board and Mr.
H. H. Crum, the Dispensary Commissioner,
phoned their congratulations.
By acting promptly the Governor
saved himself a lot of annoyance
and saved the dispensary from
another scramble for office which
would have done that institution no
good. General Jones was not an applicant
for the place.
Caution!
This is not a gentle word?but
when you think how liable you are
not to purchase the only remedy
universally known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medicine
in the world since 1868 for cure
and treatment of Consumption and
Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists
and others that are cheap and good
for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup?and especially
forConsumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing
the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The
25 cents size has just been introduced
this year. Regular size 75 cents.
At all druggists.

A Sweet Breath
Is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad
the Btomach is out of order. There
is no remedy in the world equal to
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curiDg indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach
disorders. Mrs. Mary S. Crick, of
White Plains. Ky., writes: "I have
been a dyspeptic for years?tried all
kinds of remedies but continued to
grow worse. By the use of Kodol I
began to improve at once, and after
taking a few bottles am fully restored
in weight, health and strength and
can eat whatever I like. Kodol
digests what you eat and makes the
stomach sweet. The Kaufmann
