News Note* From Pineviiie.
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. The decorations
consisted of ferns entirely and
Jk>rmed a bower of lovely greenery
against the background of
which the young couple took
their vows. Messrs. 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

it to be present at her
cousin's marriage.
The new church at Flint Hiil
has been erected quite near the

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

pun. Williamson lived about 3
'hours, as stated, and was conscious
until a short time before
he expired. 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
