CONGRESSMAN A. F. LEVip.
Talk About Growth and Devvlobment
of Piedmont but Not About Sen
atorial Race.
Anderson is a fine town," re
marked Congressman A. F. Lever of
Lexington, to the Dily Mail, as he
sat in the Chipuola barber shop this
morning waiting to have his whiskers
trimmed. Mr. Lever s in the city to
attend the marriage of his frieni, Sol
ieitor G. B. Timmerman, and Miss
Sullivan this afternoon.
"Anderson is the finest town in the
state," keplied an Anderson man who
heard thte remark.
"I do believe that is a fact," re
plied Mr. Lever. Then he asked many
questions about. the 'size of the city,
the population, ote., and marvelled
greatly at the things the Anderson
man told him.
And you have comparatively no
railroad facilities," exclaimed Mr.
Levier. "What wouldn't you do if you
had the same railroad facilities that
other towns have?''
Mr. Lever has served two terms in
congress, and has just been elected to
a third term without opposition,
which shows his great popularity in
his district. When he was first elect
ed he Nxas the youngest member of
the national house of representatives,
and was facetiously termed the ''baby
congressman." His mental powers
were acute, however, and 'he soon
made himself felt in whatever things
he wanted to deal with. He is now one
of the most active as well as one of
the most useful of the South Carolina
congressmen.
There have been some rumors that
Congressman Lever may be a candi
date for the United States senate two
years from now. He did not discuss
that subject today, however.
Congressnan Lever is well known
to many Anderson people and has
many friends here. le delivered an
address at the big Farmers Union pic
nic at the Fair (rounds two years ago,
and his address was one of the best
delivered on (liat occasion when good
addresses were plentiful.
SUILLIVAN-TIMMERMAN.'
Beautiful Wedding of Miss Mary Sul

''Blessed is the bride that the sun
shines on,'' ald surely no brighter,
fairer day ever greeted a bride than I
this, the twenty-second of November, t
tht was ma.d4 ieillorable by the beau
tiful ceremony at the home of Mrs.
Elizabeth V. Sullivan, when her t
daughter Miss Mary Vandiver Sulli- i
van was mar'ied to Mr. George Bell q
Timmerman of Lexington. The spac- t
ious residence was lovely beyond com- V
pare with its exquisite and tateful t
decorations of pot plants, ferns and s
cut-flowvers, with a dainty profusion a
of long grac''ful sprays of ivy. The v
reception roomus were thbrown togeth- y
er by means of folding doors and a
p)resenlted a mo'st pleasing and( satis- f
fying vista to the eye. Prompty at
one-thirty o 'clock, with Mrs. Virginia t1
H-ammiond at tihe piano and Mr. Webb i,
vonl-Jasseln playing a violin obligate, o
the sweet strains of Mendleshon's
wedding march floated out and the v
two pretty bridlesmaids, Miss May a
Pagett of Atlanta and Miss Nina Sul- b
livan entered the center parlor and u
took their places on either side of an ti
immense hank of palms. They werep
followed by Miss Meta Sullivan, the a~
sister of the bride, alone, while im- e
-mediately behind her the fair bride o
entered on the arm of the groom and ti
'amidst her friends and relatives who ~
loved them, the beautiful ceremony ai
with the ring was performed by Dr. bE
U. D. Chapman of the First Baptist d4
church. The dainty bride looked espe
cilly lovely in a becoming travell
ing gown of brown, with hat and
*gloves to match and carri& a shower c
banquet of lilies of the valley. The h
two bridesmaids wore white c loth ti'
suits, with blnek picture hats and car- r.e
ried pink b)ridesmlaids roses. The fair wl
and graceful maid-of-honor, also wore n
an elegant.white cloth suit, with large iz
white picture hant and carried wvhite be
roses. n
The dining room was most bride- R
*like with its decorations in pink and n
green. The ceniter table was drapped R(
in white Battenberg, while smnilax was he
caught from its four corners to the Sc
chandelier above, which was ablaze ~
with pink lights, here they were .held elE
by a fluffy bow of pink tulle. A tall an
crystal vase in the center of the table Ne
held pink roses, while at its base iu
was a feathery wreath of smhiar. Cut foi
glass candlelabras held many pink fai
shaded lights, that cast a soft pink foi
glowv over the pretty room. *An .ele' e

HAS ROOSEVELT FLUNCKED?
Rumors That Those Negroes Who Ca:
Prove an Alibi May Reenlist
Causes Mudh Comment.
The State Bureau,
1417 G. Street, N. W.,
Washington, Nov. 24.
Opinion here is divided as to wheth
or the president has flunked in the ne
gro troops disbanding order when Ii
announces now that all of those whi
can prove that they had no knowledg4
of the affair may reenlist. It is saii
that the president knows nothing nov
that lie did not know when the ordei
was issued except that the ngroe,
and several potent Republican clubE
are raising the very dickens about it
It is, therefore, being asked why haf
there been any modification of the or.
der. The 112 page document giving
the reasons, as shown by the reportE
of Gen. Garlington, and the other in
spectors who looked into the matter
makes ''mighty interesting reading,'
and it is clear from these reports thal
the president had good grounds foi
his action. Possibly had lie issuice
this document along with his first or
der to disband, some of this hullabal
too might have been saved. But that
is aside now. The hullaballoo haF
colie, is even now here, and the pres
ident seems inclined to pacify the neg
_rrocs aid the Rel)ublican"clubs. Thisi
is the view being expressed by somc
n1 Washington. Others there are Who
leclare thie president stands pat.
But whatever difference of opinion
lhere be upon this question there is no
liffernee of opinion so far heard that
he dismissal order was carefully tim
d. And the political wiseascres, the
'figgerers'' and analysists are show
ng that numbers of Republicans re
entlv elected to the Sixtieth congress

It is declared here that it required
te personal efforts of Booker Wash
igton to save Renresentative Olcott
I' New York. This case was a des
Grate one. There were 3,800 negro
tes in the district, andl Oleott's plur
ity in the previous election had been
at 1,700. The niegiroes this year were
a in arms over an alleged discrimina

Negro Politicians at Work.
Furthermore certain negro politi

aders of the house of representa

groes were to have effected an organ

was four or five weeks before thei
otion that this plan was broached 1
:1 a. bright young negro sent from

about it.
Whether or not they will succeed in

f the negroes, especially those in certain
f Northern States, where they are in
I fluential ,in elections, are growing in
a number and in unreasonableness.

Tricks of the Types.
''Typographical errors,'' while ex
a treniely amusing at times to the aver
age reader, are shorn of their laugh
able end when put up to the sad-eyed,
sober proof-reader or the proprietor
of a printing plant not overburdened
with Klondike products. Howell when
a boy ''lifted lead'' in his father's
printing office, and has frequently re
ferred to the amusing errors the type
he handled was guilty of. Here is
one: ''The copious rains were wel
comed ,by the milkmen" instead of
the ''nillmen.''
Some years ago, back in the eigh
ties, a typographical error, which
might have proved a serious matter,
at the same time possessing the most
ludicrous features, occurred in a pub
lication printed for the state of Mas
sachusetts. One of the annual reports,
called "Health, Lunacy and Char
ity," contained a list of -past and
present officials-all medical men
and those who had gone to their
''summer home'' were dubbed ''dis
eased" Instead of deceased.

The Middle Olass in Novels.
Is it true that the modern English
iovel reader insists upon. hearing O
bout the rich or the great? I conu
ardly think so when I remember the
riany successful works of fiction
ealing wiith costers and Scottish mini
itors, jorunalists and typists, actres-..
is and novelists. The Disraeli typo
f novel seems almost extinct, and
lie great bulk of works of fiction
deals with the middle classes.-Lon
