James is still in Brevard, .. where :he was cealled on Sun account of the extreme illness ife. A card received from Mfr.. yesterday said tha't Mr-s. s some better at that writ FOR Y. I. C. A. Tentative Organization Made.-Com mittee Appointed.-Plans for Using Old Court House. In accordance with announcement previously made a meeting was held in the rooms of the chamber of com meree on Tuesday evening for the purpose of discussing the advisabili ty of organizing in Newberry a Y. M. C. A. as a brane, of the inter state Y. M. C. A. Mr. Huntington. of Charlotte, in terstate secretary, was present by in vitation and made a very interesting talk concerning the work of the Y. M. C. A. The attendance at the meeting was not as large as it should have been, but the interest was sufficient to war rant an effort being made to organize an association in this city. Mr. A. C. Jones is a member of the executive committee and some days ago suggested the advisability of tak ing up the work in Newberry. At the meeting on Tuesday evening a temporary organization was effect ed with Mr. W. A. MeSwain. as pres ident, and Mr. R. M. Werts, as seere tarv. A committeee composel of Messrs. Geo. S. Mower. 0. B. Mayer, A. C. Jones and W. A. McSwain was ap pointed to canvass the situation with a view of an organization of a county Y. M. C. A. Mr. Huntington explained tha work and manner of proceeding ai.a while here also mad a careful inspection and study of the old court house with a view of converting it into a Y. M. C. A. building. according to sugges tions contained in Mr. Jones' recent article. Mr. Huntington gave it as his opinion that the old court house could be converted into a very desir able building for this purpose. The idea being to use the basement for bath rooms, the first floor for offices and writing rooms wit,h a ladies' rest room, and the second floor for an auditori,um and class rooms. and also to add a third story for dormi tory or sleeping rooms. VOf course, in order to do this it would be necessary to have the or ganization formed and to secure per mission of the people of the county to convert the building into a Y. M. C. A. building. To equip it as outlined by Mr. Huntington would probably take $10, 000 .or $15,000 but when finished it would be an ideal building and also a very desirable location and as a Young Men's Christian Association building with the organization behind it the rooms would always be in good condition and special care would be taken to furnish and keep the rooms set apart for the ladies from the county. It is hoped the committee will be sucessful in its canvass and that the organization will be effected very soon so that the next legislature may take some action either to turn the building over for this purpose or to submit the question to the people of the county. There can be no possible opposition to Fire building being used as indi ated and with its central location it would be a great convenience to the ladies who come from thbe country to do their shopping to have a place of this kind where they could refresh themselves and rest after making the journey to the city. In addition to the reading rooms and bath room the dormitories would be opened to the people of the county as well as to those of the city.

The Happy Nuptials of Mr. Harry Price, of Spartanburg, and Miss Dora Mann, of Newberry. Radiantly brigh.t shown the sun Wednesday morning when, promptly at ten o',elock, the second beautiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mann, Dora, became the wife of Mr. Harry Price, of Spartanburg, at the pretty and picturesque home of her father, in College street of this city, the solemn Jewish ceremony being chanted by Rabbi Kerach, of Colum bia. Miss Mann, by her sweet, sunny dis position and attraetive personality has ever held a sway over the hearts of her hosts of friends and admirers, and it vas a great pleasure to the large company assembled to join with her and her happy lover in solemniz ing the happy nuptial vows which made their two lives one. However, it is much to be regretted that her marriage to Mr. Price will take her away from this city. Mr. Price's home is in Spartanburg, vhere he is one of the principal merchants of that place, being at the head of one of t.he largest clothing -establishments in the eity. On account of the marriage festivi ties the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mann was simply though tastily and pret tily decorated, the color sch-eme being green nad white and green and pink. Promptly at the hour named, to the sweet strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Eva Wright, the Rabbi took his place and Mr. Price came from the rear of the hall and stopped under the canopy of green and horseshoe of silver to await the coming of the pretty bride on the arm of her father, having been pre ceded by her dame of honor, Mrs. Abe Summerfield, nee Miss Jennie Mann, a sister of the bride. Rabbi Kerach chanted the marriage ceremony in Hebrew and used all the symbols pertaining to the Jewish faith in performing these rites. At the request of the groom, Mr. Otto Klettner, of this city. read the mar riage contract in English. At the con elusion of the ceremony the congratu lations were sincere and profuse. The bride was married in the lace robe and lovely veil used by her sis ter, Miss Jennie, at her marriage last year.' She carried an exquisite bridal bouquet of ferns, -white carnations and bi-ide's roses. After t-he recep tion was over and the congratulations were ended, Mrs. Price changed her wedding gown for :her going-away suit. which was a handsome braid-ed blue silk coat suit. Immediately after the ceremony de licious refreshments, consisting of a salad and sweet course, were handed the guests, and later punch was served from an immense punch bowl in the rear hall. The wedding presents bestowed upon Mr. and Mrs. Price betokened the high esteem in which they are 1eld by their friends. The display of cut glass was unusually handsome and then the-re were elegant pieces of sil ver and china, and one entire chest of silver, which was immensely ad dition to these there were -handsome rugs, lovely center pieces and a large number of both useful and orna mental presents. Mr. and Mrs. Price left on the Southern train at 1:40 p. m. for Co lumbia, from which point they go to New York and other points of inter est in the North, carrying with them the best wishes of the citizens of New berry. The out-of-town guests here es pecially for the marriage were Mr. and Mrs. Saul, of Atlanta, the groom 's sister and brother-in-law; Mr. and Mrs. Sol Brown and three children from Bennettsville; Mrs. D. N. Spigel, of Spartanburg. anid little daughter, Dena Marie; Mrs. Chas. Pearl, of Augusta; Mrs. Hanna-h Swartzberg, of Asheville, N. C.; Mrs. Abe Summerfield, of Baltimore; Mrs. J. Miller, of Spartanburg; and Law yer Blackwood, of Spartanburg. O'Neal Street M. E. Cruirch.

Soug, "There You'll Find Me Sing SOUTHERN POWER COMPANY. Have Surveyed to Newberry.-Engi neering Party in Charge of A. -E. Hutchinson Now in City. The Southern Power Company of which Dr. W. Gill Wylie, now of New York, but formerly of Chester county, is )resident, began operations only a few years ago by building a dam on Catawba river, and transmitting pow er to the towns and cities near by. The development of this company has been most remarkable and there are plants now not only on the Ca tawba at Catawba station, but at Great Falls in Lancaster county and 'also at Rocky .Creek in the same coun ty. The company is developing a plant at Ninety-nine Islands in Chester county. At Catawba station they have a plant of 10,000 H. P. and at Great Falls and Rocky Creek 30,000 H. P. each. At Ninety-nine Islands when the plant is developed there will be about 12,000 H. P. The company has transmitted this power to Rock Hill, Charlotte. Salis bury and as far as Greensboro, N. C. In this State a line has been built to Chester and on to White Stone sta tion passing Mt. Tabor in Union coun tv some 8 or 10 miles from Union. From Chester it is proposed to go to Spartanburg. Greenville, and in fact will probably cover all of this sec tion of the State. The engineering party is in New berry at present having run a pre liminary line from Mt. Tabor via Un ion and Whitmire to Newberry. The company will establish a sub station in Newberry from which the power will be transmiitted to the cot ton mills and other enterprises which desire power of this kind. This com pany can furnish power much cheaper than a local company can and it is little doubt that the mills here and othe,r enterprises taking power will contract with this company for what power they need. In fact the Newbetry Cotton Mill will equip its new building for use of electric power. In Greenwood for instance the com missioners of public - works secure power from a coinpany on the Sa vannah river and then transmit it to those who need light and power in the city of Greenwood instead of op erating the plant which was built lty ,the city. In the engineering party which is now in Newberry and which is in charge of Mr. A. E. Hutchinson are the following: Messrs. L. G. Young, C. C. Linder, A. S. Goss, L. J. Welch, and J. E. Moore They will be in Newberry for several days Newberry Circuit Meetings. First Sunday in Au.gust at ILebanon. Second Sunday in August at Trin it. Third Sunnday in August at Ebe nezer.

Fridy, Pastor. Protracted Services at Smyrna.. Protracted services will begin at Smyrna next Sabbath, August 1. Two servies will be held, with dinner at the church. The Rev. T. P.
