The marriage ceremony was solemnized amid the pink and white of ^rvsantlipmums forming an al- j 1U * ti; vai;wv, _ cove as a bower of beauty for the bridal party. Southern sniilax used in v all rooms and pink chrysanthemums completed the scheme in dining room and library where a great number of valuable gifts attested toe esteem held for this young couple.

Spartanburg. Xov. 2S.?Judge Ernest Moore in the court of general sessions today sentenced Horace Finch. W. R. Belcher and Robert Wilson, t'.:e three men convicted of rioting and assaulting the Spartanburg county jail on t':e night of August IS, 1913, to three years in the State penitentiary. Notice o. appeal to the supreme court was given by counsel for the j convicted men and the court fixed | their bond at $1,500 . each. Horace Finch arranged'bond during the morning. Be'cher and Wilson are held in t;e county jail, pending their bond. T ? c r.. n or cnntanPO T11 H Cr?

Those acts were such as directly tended to sub- j version of all laws and order being | acts which sought to suosutute tne riue i of the mob for that of the due and I orderly administration o: the laws by the people acting through their legally established tribunals. "If such acts were left unchecked and permitted to continue, and if such offences were left unpunished tcey would ultimately and necessarily result in the subversion of all .aw and order and eventuate in the substitution of mob rule and anarchy for the due and orderly administration of justice by the people, acting through their legally and regularly constituted courts and duly chosen officials in the enforcement of the laws made by the people themselves." This is the culmination of the night of rioting about the Spartanburg jail wlen the effort was made to lynch the negro, Will Fair, who was afterwards acquitted of the charge of criminal assault.

SAYS ACCEPT NEWS OF VICTORY WITH CAITIOX J I'etrograd Correspondent Declares I Germans Are OiYer/ner Desperate Res/stanee. | London, Xov. 29.?(2:40 a.m.) ? I Renter's Petrogard correspondent I'sends an official statement which j warns the public to pbserve caution in accepting rumors of a crushing Russian victory. The statement says the retreating j ' Germans are offering desperate resist- ] ' ance and the battle nas not been finished. Pass the Plato for Starv/nar Belgians. j j To the Editor: , Christmas approaches and countless 1 - , _ ? I unnappy Belgians, despite govci-umcu- ; lal relief, the Rockefeller foundation ! and other valuable agencies, are con- j fronted with starvation. I therefore i beg the favor of your columns to' say that tne Dollar Christmas Fund I for Homeless Belgians, of which I am | treasurer, is working ;or the special j purpose of preventing starvation amongst hundreds of thousands of j Belgians this winter. For this pur- j pose we are cooperating with the Lon- | d.on '*S. illing Fund" a much older J fund which has collected nearly $400,-1 000 which is expressly organized to see that no Belgian man, woman or child spends Christmas-tide devoid of food and shelter. Tiiere will be no duplicating, no j overlapping and every penny subscrib- j ed will go direct to the victims in; wC-tose behalf I appeal. I believe this i great work of mercy commands the j sympathy of us all and more especial-; ly in this month when American doub- j Iy blessed with peace and plenty are j preparing to celebrate the Day of, Thanksgiving. inspired by this j thought I suggest various ways in, which you can help to avert tfhe agony j I nf ciifferine: which must otherwise j confront the refugees during the com-; ing winter. You can send a donation ! to our fund addressed to myself as treasurer, Messrs. Henry Clews & Co.,1 bankers, Broad street, New York, or j you can apply to our secretary, Percy; | Bullen, 66 Broadway, New York for a collecting card. He will be glad to issue same to any person enclosing references. Churc'res, chapels,' clubs, ( societies and Sunday schools can as- j sist by a collection. Entertainment j committees may render great help by j sending us the proceeds of benefit. performances. In all these ways ' friends everywhere are assisting no-i bly. All the money received will be cabled to Europe before December 20. j Many heads of families and boarding' houses have promised to "pass the nl?te" for the homeless Belgians be fore the turkey on Thanksgiving day.! The needs are immeasurable. Let us remember that no little nation in the world's long history has been more; grievously stricken yet no people can i raise their heads more proudly from the dust. The crown of thorns is still a crown! Help us as best you can. Your gift will surely be remembered long a ter the war has ceased and no man's Thanksgiving orChrist- ; mas day will be the less 'happy because in some cases the gift may en-1 tail some measure of personal sacrifice. i i Yours very truly, ~LT Anrir PIQTTC XJLVZLll J nv;, Treasurer, Dollar Christmas Fund for Homeless Belgians, 1"> Broad street Xew York.

Well, tnat is all very kind and I know must make the editor feel j mighty bad and it does not in the least sweil my head. T^.en, sometimes I thing maybe it would be a good timo for me to stop. You know, some people live too long 'for their reputations and some preacheis preach too long and some speakers speak.-too long. ir is good ume 10 ait: ?uen e?ei) uuc thinks well of you and it is a good to stop preaching before you have tired your congregation. But here goes. I have reached that point in life long ago that I Triad become almost too much indifferent to public opinion and what people think or what they say about me. It concerns me very litle. I am not hunting votes. I am not seeking popularity. Of course, I would not be human if I was not conscious of a little ripple of joy when people say nice things about me and when they speak well of me, but what I mean is it does not disturb me when j fcbey revile and abuse and say unkind things, because I go alohg try ing to do the be?t I can and to treat every one lc'idly and courteously and to speak toe truth, and all I crave is for the rest to "Let me live in my house by the i side of the road and be a friend to j man." The editor tells me that he has been requested to help work up a sentiment, or advise the merchants to ' close their places of business on' Christmas eve, and keep them closed until t. e following Monday.

Well, I had never thought of it but the suggestion seems to be a good one to me and I see no reason why it should not be adopted. Yes, give the clerks two days for j Christmas, and then put something in ' their stockings on Christmas eve. It' will recall to them the good old times ; of their youth' around the old cbirn- j ney in that happy country home of their childaood. There is . nothing greater in this world than to make other people happy. It is one thing that works both ways at Che same time. Wf': en you make others happy you are happy yourself. Did you ever ! try it? If not go out and speak a kind and pleasant word to tne nrst . person you meet, and then take an inventory of yourself, and if you do not feel better I will set 'em up. Let the clerks have two days and Sunday too for Chrsitmas. \ ?o? | Mr. Editor, I wish you would tell your reporter that I read the follow- j ing in a paper the other day: "One thousand churches in Kansas have: been abandoned on account of the J automobile. i "This is something to cause us j thoughtful persons to think. Person- i ally there is nothing we like better than to think. We often do. It has I a strange fascination for us." This paper was dated September 20, i 1913. I reckon things are better out! in Kansas by this time. Maybe the i automobiles are bringing the churches j in. At least they should be bringing j the people to t':e churches. I {/nought maybe the reporter would like to I think and they may cause him to think | He has-been talking about the people not going to church and about starting a go-to-chureh movement in Newberry. The automobiles are here and j possibly they will help to bring in tine j churches. The people of Newberry | ~ ~f * T. /%V| 11 rf>Vl OTlP r Q Rllt I ' cli e pi ClLV 5UUU vuui vu v. was thinking that it was not a good idea to get into your head that going to church was the whole show. I am an advocate of the gc-to-church movement because if we 'had no churches we would soon be real heathens. Every one should go to church at least once every Sunday. He will feel better all the rest of the week. ?o? I was reading in this same paper anot'her article by tlhe same writer on "Why men loaf on muddy street crossings.'' and he concludes with this paragraph: ">We suppose that we are an old fogy; but if there is anything we hate, it is a girl going around in a slashed skirt until a person can see the First National Bank." Of course that was out in Kansas too. He did not mean the First National Bank of Newberry. But the slashed skirt has gone out of fashion and they tell me fViof +ho VinKhlo ic crniri or inn nr Viae: ixiuu "vwwig 10 i/wvj vi gone. They both should go and then the skirts should be made of cotton and the price would go up at once. This fellow says he hates the slashed skirt and yet listen to what he says in this same connection: ''When there is a slashed skirt around, we can't keep our mind on congress. Even when tfhere is an especially attractive sunset beins: Dut on. our mind isn't on the sun. We'll have to confess that it's on the daughter." Now what do you think of that? Isn't it awful? And yet he says he is a high salaried editor. But i: you really want to think, as a good mental and moral exercise, think on this little paragraph I saw the other day in t>he Anderson Intelligc-ncer: "There is in Anderson a thoroughbred gentleman so good and kind and true that he puts into practi>p wp believe, tte sentiment ex pressed in these lines from Sheridan which he found and called to our attention: "Believe not each accusing tongue As most weak persons do, But still believe that ctory wrong Which ougfct not to pe true." (Think on the thought here expressed so beautifully. If you had a community of such men and women you would not fcave to form your go-tonhnrch club. We are so ready to b* lieve "each accusing tongue." In fact most of us prefer to believe it whether the story ought to be true or not. I wonder if there is a man or woman in Newberry who puts into practice t?' e lines here quoted. Read them over. Think on them until you ;hear from me again. It will do your soul good. Better than baseball or foothali or movies or anything that I can suggest. "Believe not each accusing tongue." The Idler. Death of Mr. C. F. Schultz.
