SEEK JEWELRY. Supposed to Have Been Sent From Columbia.?Inquiry is Made. Washington, Sept. 11.?Does any one in Columbia remember persons by the name of Lord and Lady Banff? If they do they will probably render them a favor by making themselves known to the government authorities here. The following story printed in the Washington Post today opens up a page in Columbia's war history: "Two persons giving the names of Lord*and Lady Banff called at the treasury department yesterday and claimed a quantity of jewelry and silver plate said to have been stored there for safekeeping during the Civil war. Tiiey were referred to the war de partment, where records are being searched :n hope of finding the valuables. "Lady Banu, who acted as spokesman, told a dramatic story of how the jewels were sent to the treasury by Gen. W. T. Sherman from a c6nvent in Columbia. "A rprnrd. ?hp said, was sent to the war department. "During the war, according to the story, the people of Columbia became alarmed lest the federals would rob them of their jewelry and silver. "They gathered their goods together, made a list and hid the valuables under the floor of the Ursuline convent there. "When Gen. Sherman arrived in Columbia he set fire to the convent, and the nuns, fearing that the valuables would be forever destroyed, re .vealed their hiding place. "Gen. Sherman took charge of the property, it is said, and sent it to the treasury, making a full report to the j war department. j "Yesterday's visitors saw Bryon j Newton, secretary to Secretary Mc- j i Adoo, and told him the story. Mr. j Newton, on investigation, found that! during the war a great'deal of jewel-1 ry and silver plate had been turned | over to the treasury for safekeeping, j "This was kept there, he said, un- ! til about ten years ago, when it was sent to the war department. "The visitors were sent to that department. On arrival there they met John C. Scofield, assistant and chief clerk, who referred them to Col. 0. S. ; Heistand. acting adjutant general; I they told Col. Keistand the same storv, asking him to let tnem look at ! 4-'u" mofia v?tt rion Shprman. tilt: I CfJUl L maug w* ^ "bady Banff explained that her ; mother had placed some of the family jewels in the lot, and that she now wanted to recover them. , j "Col. Heistand made an examina tion but failed to find any report made bv Gen. Sherman. He called in somfc * of the oldest clerks of the department, fcut they, too, were unable to rem ember anything of the kind. Lady Banff j insisted that it was there, declaring -1 ~ "U ? ^ that when she was a gin sue u?u visited the war department and had eeen it. "Col. Heistand said that he would make a further investigation and that "*- - ??a who are He WUUIU bug , living in Washington in Sixth street, northwest. "This couple has been living in Washington for some time and has on several occasions been prominent in the news. , "The man claims the title of the 1 Rt. Hon. Robert Walter Finlatter Oarilvie. Lord Banff, and heir to the earldom of Finlate, Scotland. He i* said to be a graduate of three universities, Princeton, Columbia and West Virginia. "Lady Banff was a Southern beauty., it is understood." Smith-Cely Wedding: Was a Yery Brili liant Event. Greenville Piedmont, 12th. The beautiful wedding of Miss Beulah Ruth Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Smith of this city and Mr. Thomas Llovr! Cely, of Anderson was solemnized last evening in the First Baptist church at 8.30 o'clock, the Rev. Geo. W. Quick, officiating. I Perhaps never in the history of its J more than fifty years of existence has j the interior of this church been more j elaborately or artistically decorated, | although it has been the scenes of lundreds of beautiful weddings. The walls were draped with white tulle and garlanded with smilax, caught up 11 J fnllo "wren goiaen rou tieu >cnv tunw j 'The entire length of the galleries was covered with this effective decoration of yellow and white and surmounted "by beautiful potted plants. The state-! ly old pillars in the church were en- j twined with tulle and southern srailax j and the electric lights attached to! each were softened with yellow; shades. A curtain of yellow golden rod formed the artistic background while in front of this curtain was a bank of perfectly magnificent ferns, tVwvninor O crvlirl mocc rsf (rroon fit ' 1WL c* OVUU XliUOO \Ji.

Something novel as well as very at- j / tractive was the arrangement of a gate half way down the center aisle, this took the place of the conventional ribbons, and the gate was presided over by two charming little girls, Misses Marie Xash, of Charlotte and Mary Lou Morris gowned in white laoe dresses over vellow satin with i ~ * yellow girdles. To this gate the guests were ushered by Messrs. Arthur Merritt, J. 0. Jones, Luther Cely, | anc. Wallace Smith. Here they were met by Miss Marian Smith, of Newber- j rv, who was most attractive in a vel: low crepe de chine with gold trimmings, and Miss Cecil Brawley, who - 1 ! was exceedingly pretty in white | shadow lace over yellow satin. i The audience was given a musical i treat in t'ne way of a wedding con- j cert by Mr. Poston, who presided at i the organ, also by Mrs. W. P. Conlyers who sang "0 Perfect Love," and I "Love's Coronation" with violin ob ' ligato. Just as the concert was closing ; Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Smith were ush; ered in, a hush followed for a moment, and the sweet strains of Lohengrin's wedding march sounded. The four ushers led the bridal procesj sion and at the gates the two charm j ing girl ushers fell m line ana iook j their places one on either side of the ! improved wedding altar. Then came j Miss Caroline Spearman, of New! berry, with Dr. Sanders, of Ander; sod.

The maid of honor, Miss j Mary Nash, of Charlotte, entered j alone. Then .the little flower girl, j Miss Beryl Brawley, came scattering; rose petals from a gilded basket in > the pathway of the lovely bride. To an exquisite strain of music the bride came in on the arm of her brother, Mr. P. C. Smith, of Birmingham, Ala., and was met at the altar by the groom and his best nlan, Mr. Harry Martin. Here the nupital vows were plighted, the wedding ring given and the blessing said.
