Perry was the scene of unusual bril liance and beauty Wednesday, when -his daughter, Miss Ruth, was united in marriage to Mr. Russell Tidmarsh. The entire house was decorated with Southern smilax, palms and ferns, but perhaps the loveliest room of all was the drawing room, where the ceremony was performed. This was all in green and white. Beautiful bells and flowers were suspended from everything available, while ferns and hot-house plants were banked in all available space. The young couple were married among tropical palms and ferns under a beil made by white flowers. The reception ball was artis tically decorated, the color scheme here being yellow and green, with myraids of candles casting their soft light over the scene. The library where the handsonte and countless presents were seen, was prettily dec drat5d wiih large red (chrysanthe mums and green smilax, red candles. Mrs. Boyd Jacobs here had the wed ding book in which each guest in scribed his name. The dining room was all in pink and white. The table decorations were in pink and an ex quisite effect was given by the use of pink chrysanthemums over the can dles and chandelier, vases of pink and white cairnationis casting their reflections in chrystals and mirrors. The guests. were received at the door by Miss Marth'a Johnstone, and invited 'into the parlor 'where Mr. and Mrs. Perry, and relatives of the bride were receiving. Miss Mazie Domin ick played the wedding march and promptly at 4 the dame df honor en tered the parlor. fwIowed by\ the beautiful bride and Mr. Tidmarsh, and were united in marriage by Rev.

Death of Mr. K. Burton. Mr. K. Burton died at his home in Arkadelphia, Ark.. March 2, 1911, at the age of 73 years. He was a native of Newberry county, and a brother of Mr. R. H. Burton, of the Whitmire section. Mr. Burton moved to Arkan sas shortly after the war, and has made his home in that State since. He enlisted in the Confederate army and served during the first year of the war as a member of company B, 3rd regiment, S. C. V. He was afterwards transferred to Captain J. W.

Mr. Burton left several children. Mrs. Wilson is at present on a visit to her son. Hon. T. N. Wilson, at Aradlpia ad other relatives id MR. J. C. HIPP ARREsrED. Charged by Brother of J. S. Gillan as Accessory to the Killing With Sam Btooze.-, There have been varioas and sundry rumors floating around in the coun ty in connection with the killing of Mr. J. S. Gilliam at Old Town last Friday, many of which rumors are no doubt without foundation in fact, and like all rumors of this nature, gain volume as they were repeated. As the case will soon be tried in the courts, The Herala and News will confine its report to the facts as brought out in the nearings, which have been before te coronor, the magistrate and circuit judge. On Tuesday the following affidavit was made before Magistrate J. C. Sample, and as the result Mr. Hipp was arrested b(y Constable Blease: "On March 3, 1911. one Sam Boozer did willfully. unlawfully and mali ciously shoot and murder J. S. Gil liam against the statutes-in such cas es made and prcvLided and against the peace and dignity of the State, and J. C. Hipp and. Alex Rook are ac cessories to the criine and J. W. White is a material witness -for the State. J. R. Gilliam." "March 7, 1911." Mr. Gilliam, who makes the affidav it. is a brother of Mr. J. S. Gilliam, the dead man. Application was made for bail be .fore Judge Watts, at Greenwood, on Wednesday, and bail was .granted in the sum of $4,000. Account of the pro ceedings before Judge Watts may be found in another columri of The Her ald and News. BOOZER IN PENITENTIARY. Was Taken There by Sheriff Buford From Greenwood County Jail. As stated in the last issue of The Herald and News. Sam Boozer, the negro who shot to death J. S. Gilliar on Mr. J. C. Hipp's place at Old Towr last Friday afternoon, surrendered or Monday to the sheriff of Greenwood county. There had been some rumors that probably Boozer might be molest ed if brought through Newrberry coun ty, and as a precaution, Gov. Blease on Monday night, directed the sherifi of Greenwood county to bring or send Boozer to Columbia via Augusta, and have him placed in the penitentiary. Sheriff Buford, when he heard thai Boozer was in the jail at Greenwood left early Tuesday riorning for Green wood, and took charge of the prison er, and carried him to Columbia. There has been no demonstration o1 anythling that would really indicatE that any of the citizens of Newberr3 would have undertaken to do bodil3 harm to Boozer. It was stated that or Monday night, a number of the citiz ens of Old Town went through the train in sea.rch of Boozer, whom the3 thought was probably on board. It is hardly possible that any of the citiz ens of that community would have un dertaken to execute the law with theii own hands. When the train arrived at Newber ry, there were possibly a dozen o1 more beside the average crowd thai meets all trains at Newberry and thesE came out as curiosity seekers, and with no purpose to do bodily harm ii Boozer had been on the train. In fact there has been no demonstra tion of any kind that would warrant the conclusion that Boozer would not be entirely cafe in the jail at New berry. However, no harm can be done by having him placed in the State penitentiary. Church of the Redeemer. (Rev. Edw. Fulenwider, Pastor). There will be special services at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer Sunday as follows: 11 a. m.-In the at>sence of the pas tor the services will be conducted by Prof. G. A. Voigt. This being the close of the week of prayer and self-denial, tabre will be a missioney s.ermon preached by the Rev, E. W. Leslie, of Prosperity. Rev. Leslie is a strong preacher, and will have so:nething to say that will be interesting and help ful to all. The plate collection will go to the Woman's Missionary society. The members of the society wvill bring their offerings and p1-ace them in the offering plates. There will r.e good music. 7.30 p. mn.--There will be a song service. The pastor will pr-each on the subject: "How the Best Home on Earth Was Lost." This will be se other of the spec(ial .'-vening s: ot Eve "listened." "!ooked,"' "meditat ed."

Mayor Langford had the f&'owing lotter from the board of health read to he city council at the mnong on Tuesday night: Newberry, S. C., March 7. 1. To the Honorable Mayor and CIty Council, Newberry. S. C. Gentlemen: At a mceting of the board of health held this afternoo:1, t was unanimously adoited as the sense of the board that ithe salary of the health officer be increased from .45.00 to $5ojO per month. and that this be recommended to your honorable body for consideration an adop-on. The board takes the view that the health officer, being required to do po lice duty in addition to his regular I duties as health officer, should be put on the same salary basis as police officers, and it so recommends. By order of the board: Respectfully submitted, D. B. Chandler, Secretary. Alderman Summer moved that the salary of the health officer be in creased as requested by the board of health, which motion was seconded'by Alderman Earhardt. City Attorney Blease, who was present, read Section 26. of the code, which is as 'follows: "Section 26. The salary of each and every officer elect ed by the people of the town. or by the city council, shall be fixed by the tI own council, and the salary of no officer shall be increased or diminish ed during the term of office to w.hich the holder of such office was elected." Alderman Summer said that he was not familiar with the law. but that he thought it was nothing but right that the health office.r, who was required to do -.olice duty. should receive the same salary as policemen. Attorney Blease said, that in his opinion, this section was intended to cover all officers and the health of ficer was practically elected by coun cil, but that if council increased the pay, he was satisfied. the health of ficer would not raise any question. As this matter 'had been ov.erloo'ked be fore the election of the health of ficer, it was thought but justice that his pay should be the same as police men, and the recommendation of the board of 'health was unanimously adopted. First Baptist Church. (Rev. G. A. Wright, Pastor.) The change in the hours of servic.? at the First Baptist church was very gratifying on Sunday last. A goof attendance at both the Sunday schoo' and preaching service. Remembe: the chane, Sunday school -meets a: 10.30, preaching at 11.30. Arrange to attend both of these stervices.

Comes U for Di%cussion-City Coun Cil Takes no Action-Ordinance Stands. -dernwn Summer said at the meet ing of city council on Tuesday night that at the las: i.eting of council, the que,,en of repealing the ordinance relating to the public soruare in front of the old court house building had been pos;:tponed to this meeting. He said to, would like to see the squarei used by the country r.eople. but be fore making any motion. he would like to hear fro:n members of city council as to what they thought about the matter. Alderman Earhardt said that he did not want to mislead anyone, and if he had known that this matter was going to come up. he would have told Alderman Summer, who was probably under the impression that he would vote for the repeal of the ordinance, that he would not do so and that -he wanted to state to nim at this time that if he insisted upon bringing up the repeal of the ordinance, he would at this meeting vote against it. He wanted to consider the matter fur ther. Alderman Summer said that he had no selfish reason In the matter at all, but he thought we ought to do every tling that we could to encourage the country people tc come to town. and to make them feel at home, and he believed that the country people want ed this ordinance repealed. Mayor Langford stated that he had given instructions to the police not to disturb wazons on this square, or in the streets coming under the inhibi tion in the ordinancd. when they were loading or unloading, and, while it was his desire to keep the square clear, he wanted the policemen to en force the ordinance with discretion. Alderman Lo-minack said that he was opposed to the ordinance when it was passed, and was still opposed to it. Alderman Summer said that it was no pet scheme of his to have the ordi nance repealed, but he thought it would be to the best interest of the town. The matter went over without any action being taken. Death of Mr. J. B. Crooks. Mr. John B. Crooks died on Wednes day evening at 7.15 o'clock from a stroke of apoplexy, at his home in Glenn street.
