During his stay in Aiken previous to the wedding, Mr. Boney was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Crosland, on Col leton avenue. Brighun-Wood. On last Thursday evening at 8:30 o’clock. Mr. Walter Brigham, of Au gusta, was married to Miss .Susie Wood, by Rev. B. R. Turnipseed, in St. John’s Methodist church. The bridal party entered the church to the bridal march played by Miss Clara Weathersbee, in the following order, the groomsmen and bridesmaids alternating: Messrs. Emmons Welch and George Hardwick, Miss Louise Mor- rall and Florence Powell, Messrs Joe Brinson and Julian Salley, Misses Ma rion Bignon and Tuba Brigham, Messrs. Stiles Dunbar and James Abercrombie, Miss Julia Ella Teague and Miss Irene Royal. The maid of honor, Miss Fairy Hol man, entered alone. The bride then entered upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Elliott Wood, and proceeded to the chancel rail, where they were met by the groom with his best man. Mr Foster Brigham. After the ceremony a handsome re ception was held at Mrs. Wood’s house, attended by a large number of relatives and friends. At 12:30 o’clock Mr. and Mrs. Brigham took the train for the North via Blackville. Bradwell-Ofckley. Last evening at 7 o’clock Miss Rus sell DuBose Bradwell. daughter of Mr. Lewis Bradwell, was married by Rev. F.D. Jones, at her parents’ residence on Richland avenue, to Mr. Alonzo Wells Oakley ; all of this place. The wedding was a tableau one, that is the couple and their attendants were in place in the room, when the doors were opened and the guests ad mitted to witness the ceremony. The room was very prettily decorated with arparagus ferns. The attendants were Miss Mabel Bradwell, maid of honor ; Mr. Dan Henderson, Jr., groom’s best man; Misses Pansy Wyman, Maud Busch, Rebecca \\ ise, Fanny Rogers, Fanny Williams, and Louise Williams, bridesmaids. The bride’s table was beautifully dec orated, and after the company had ex tended their best wishes and partaken of the refreshments, the happy young couple left on the 9:20 train for Au gusta and a short stay in the mountains of North Carolina. PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. James O. Patterson, of Barn well, was in Aiken on last Thursday to attend the Brigham-Wood wedding. The Rev W B. Sams, of Abbeville, has received a call to the rectorship of a parish in the diocese of Maryland. We understand that he has the matter under consideration. The friends of Mr. W W. Woolsey will be pleased to ^trn that his son Mr. JeiuuWj iey. of New York, has law ceived a telephone message from Ellen- ton that a shooting affray had occurred near Bush’s Hag station on the Port Royal railroad, and that Mr. J. Burrell McLain had been killed, and his son William wounded, by some negroes the night before. He immediately gather ed a posse of three or four good men and went to the place via Augusta, ar riving there at about half past two in the afternoon. He found everything to have ngliaUileu. He returned to Aiken on Tue>day afternoon. From all the information obtainable it setjius that the negro named David Gardenhigh lived on Mr. John Bates’ place, but had a child about twelve j ears of age by a woman on Mr. J. Bur rell McLain's place near Turner’s. The man took the child away from the woman. McLain, it seems, wanted the child for a field hand and went to a magistrate to have it restored to its. mother. The magistrate refused to in terfere, and on Monday the 29th May Mr. McLain and his son went to Gar- denhigh’s house and took the child away, and returned him to his mother. The child then ran away and went back to his father. On last Saturday the two McLain’s went again to Garden- high’s house to get the child, but did not succeed, as the father refused to give him up. On Sunday afternoon at 1 about dusk the two| McLain’s, another white man, and two negroes,went again, armed with shot guns and pistols, to Gardenhigh’s house to take awa3’ the chi*d b3’ force. To this point the account seems straight enough, but as to the affray itself the accounts are more mixed. It is reported that when the party of three white men and two negroes ap proached the house Gardenhigh was standing in the yard. He immediately' ran into the house and slammed the door to. In the house with him were a woman, his two sons, both grown young men, and the child in question. Here there are conflicting statements. One account says that Burrell McLain ran up on the door steps, and placing the muzzle of his gun against the door, fired. The door shows a large shot hole, blackened with powder, and his gun barrel is burst. Another of his companions fired through the door and another through the weatherboarding. Another account simply says that a volley was tired into the house. After a little intermission the door was sud denly jerked open irom inside the house and the negro (Gardenhigh) appeared with a doublebarrel shotgun and tired both barrels at Burrell McLain. One charge struck him in tne left arm, and wounded his son William in the leg, and the other entered his right breast. McLain walked a few paces around the house and fell and died. The AU-Lain party then left, vnd the dead man re mained where he had fallen until Monday morning. Ti.e three ne gro men then made their escape. The woman was slightly' wounded in her left wrist. After the killing of McLain, Garden- high went to the house of his white neighbor and told him what he had done, and said he was compelled to do it to save his family. He was advised to surrender to the sheriff,which he said he would do. The excitement caused by the affair was very great, and next morning a number of neighbors had assembled and instituted a hunt for Gardenhigh. But lie had made his escape, and ac cording to the latest information from that section had not been found. On Tuesday night David Gardenhigh and one of Ids sons came to Aiken and surrendered themselves to the sheriff, and are now in jail. They claim that they shot only in self defense in de fending their home and their persons against the unwarranted attack of Ale- i tin and his party. Machine far Laying Bricks. It is stated that Mr. I* H. Loud, of -Williston, has invented a machine that will revolutionize the art of building, in addition to cheapening the cost of construction and the time necessary for the erection of brick structures. It is claimed by those who have seen the machine that it will lay brick with alLof the skill of the most.aecomplisln d bricklayer, with perfect accuracy, and with a rapidity that discounts the hu man hands It is said that with two or three men operating the machine, sup plying it with bricks and mortar, that it will do the work of a dozen brick layers in the course of a day, carrying up a wall as if by magic. It is further claimed that the ma chine can be easily and quickly regula ted so as to skin wherever it is desired to leave doors and windows, doing this work with seeming human intelligence. It is also said that the machine is not complicated, will not easily get out of order, and is in every way a practical and useful invention, sure to come into general use by contractors. The Anderson correspondent of the News and Courier says: “It is likely that Anderson county may soon vote on the question of dispensary or no dis pensary. Petitions are being circulated for signatures for an election on Aug. 2. So far the movement consists of Rev. \V. \V.

After all had been satisfied and the smokers had lit their cigars, the president, Dr B. F. Wyman, called the meeting to order ; and the routine business was transacted. Dr. H. T.

The Usual Hot Supper Results. On last Saturday some negroes gave a hot supper near Montmorenci. which had the usual results—pistol practice, and negroes shot. On this occasion however none of the participants were killed, but Adams was shot in the heel and leg; and Duke Gray received a slight wound on his skull.

He had been coming to Aiken every fall for many years, and had a long struggle with the disease that at last carried him off. He was one of the trus tees of the Aiken Library, and took a very active interest in that institution. The Electric Light Co.’* Ice Plant. AA’e learn that the Carolina Light and Power Company has obtained an opt ion also on the Rogers’ premises at corner of Richland avenue and Union street. The company has an option also on the lot of the Aiken Fuel company. To make either place available for the ice factory it will be necessary for the Southern railway company to give a spur track from its main line, and the city to give permission for the track to be run across the street. The company lias received three bids for the drilling of the artesian well, and as the bid of Perry Andrews Co., our old friends, was the most advantageous it has been accepted conditional upon the completion of certain arrangements yet to be made by the C.
