The handsome new Baptist church, which has recently been completed at Flint Hill was the scene of a large - gathering yesterday to witness the marriage of Mr. Koker Merritt and Miss Ammie Davis.

YVill McLelland, Charlie Boyd, Charlton Smith and Rufus Boyd were the ushers, Miss Minnie Garrison was the maid of honor, and Mr. R. M. Pound, of Charlotte, was the groom's best man. Mrs. E. S. Reaves played Mendelssohh's wedding march as the bridal party entered the church and the Rev. E. S. Reaves performed the marriage ceremony. Miss Minnie Garrison left this morning for Toronto, Canada. Miss Garrison had decided on this trip some time ago but deferred it to be present at her cousin's marriage. The new church at Flint Hiil has been erected quite near the site occupied by the old church, which has been purcnased by Mr. A. B. Bailes.

Editor Times: I have just read in the Yorkville Enquirer of July 81 an article on roads by a onetime Reformer and I think lit? is I a reformer yet of roads and road j laws. He is evidently trying to 1 reform his former Reform brethren to the Saye road law, but if there is anything in the I signs of the times, he will have j a warm time reforming his old-! time brethren to such a law. I am free to admit that the Sena tor has given us a pretty general account of roads and road laws ! from the time Adam toddled up and down the spring path that j Eve had made and dodged the I stumps because they were cut i rather high for his steam wagon. Next he gives us a lot of information about the road leading to the Eternal City built by the imperial Master, and last, but not i least, the road to be built to, Yorkville. Old-time brother, ! your argument has two sides to it, and we can't tell which from tother. If this law is what it is claimed to be, why did someone say that he would not be in the race this yea?, or words to that effect? Mr. Editor I thought I would close, but one of the "boys" has just come in from the political pasture and reports that a very sad accident has happened. A neighbor was coming through the j lot and mentioned the Saye road | law. and Old Mrmd rU<l devil, fired away and kicked him 400 yards. As luck would have ; it she struck him where there ] were no bones. I am sorry of the accident for I have told the boys to be careful with Old Maud. We have had her rough shod and the old devil is fat and sleek and wants to kick. I am trying my best to hold her but I am satisfied I can't hold her longer than the 7th. Then we will turn her over to the politicians, or turn the politicians over to the tender mercies of Old Maud, and if it is the latter, there will be turning some. Tillmanite. Young Farmer Meets Tragic Death. J. Louis Williamson, a prosperous young farmer of this county, was shot and mortally wounded Friday night by L. 11. Garrison, the shooting occurring at the Garrison home at Gray Court, a community settlement in Laurens county. Williamson died about three hours after he was shot. The circumstances attending the shooting, as gathered from press reports, were about like this: Louis Williamson had for some months devoted his attentions to Miss Mary Garrison, the daughter of the man by whom he was shot. The young people were engaged and were making preparations for the marriage early in the fall, the young man naving talked the matter over with is father and made arrangements to rent a part of his father's farm. Thursday evening Williamson left his home in the Bethesda section, near Rock Hill, to visit his fiance. He spent the night with his brother in Rock Hill and went to Gray Court on Friday. In the evening the young man called upon Miss Garrison at her home. About 11 o'clock Mr. Garrison, the young j lady's father, went on the piaz/.a for water. Observing the young people in the parlor, he concluded from appearances that the young, man .was not acting as he should and fired upon him witjh a shot I ? Turnip Seed Turnip Seed . ?

The remains were brought to the home of the deceased in this county for burial. Garrison, the slayer, went to Laurens early Saturday morning and surrendered to the sheriff. He has since been released upon a bond of $1,00?. Louis Williamson was a son of Mr. J. L. Williamson, one of the county's foremost men. A negro named Jack Nisbet was shot and instantly killed at Great Falls last Saturday by Policeman Smyrrh, while resisting arrest on the charge of gambling.
