The other amendment proposed appears to con| cern GafTney only. The Times asks the pardon of i its readers for the small amount of news matter on the inside pages this issue.

A beautiful October wedding took place at. 7.30 o'clock on Wednesday evening when Miss Mannie Reid Wolfe, youngest , daughter of Capt. M. M. Wolfe, became the bride of Nile Livingstone Carothers at the home of the bride's brother in Sprattville. On account of a recent bereavement in the home, circle of the bride, only a few friends and the immediate families of the bride and groom were present. The home was beautiful with its decorations of ferns and fall flowers. In the parlor bridal roses and ivy were used while tall ferns banked high the bridal altar, and against their feathery background was arranged on each side a colonnade of white peuestais eacn topped with candelabrum ablaze with candles, while overhead just in front of the altar where the bride and groom were to stand was suspended a large white wedding bell, the graceful curves of its white surface relieved by delicate tracery of green smilax. In j the centre of the hall was placed ! I the punch bowl at which Miss | Aileen Harris served during the evening. As Mendelssohn's wedding march was sounded by Miss Rebecca Harris two lovely flower girls, the bride's niece, Lizzie Harris, and the groom's sister, i Mamie Carothers, came down the ! isle and entered the room stretching the broad ribbon of satin up to the altar. The bride, noted ! always for her delicate, flowerlike beauty, was exquisite in her bridal gown of soft crepe de chene. Crowning her wealth of auburn hair was a coronet of orange blossoms, which held in place the filmy wedding veil and I completing the bridal costume was an exquisite boquet of carnations. Thus the winsome bride leaning on the arm of the groom proceed to the altar. There they ! stood while Rev. W. M. Owings, 1 pastor of the bride, spoke t he ; ! the words that bound their lives together. Mr. Carothers and bride were j the recipients of many handsome 1 gifts of silver, cut glass, china, etc. W. M. O. Want Robinson's Sentence Commuted. The Columbia State of Friday i says that Col. YV. W. Lewis of Yorkville and Mr. J. Porter Hollis of Rock Hill, were in the city yesterday with a petition for a commutation of sentence in the case of Love Robinson, who has been convicted of murder. It will be recalled that Robinson j some months ago shot and killed a colored woman, Babe Watson, in the lower part of Fort Mill township, and that his trial re; suited in a conviction of murder in the first degree. Robinson ; was sentenced to hang, but pendi ing an appeal his sentence was stayed. Should the appeal he | withdrawn the governor w ill act on the petition either one way or the other, but as the case is at present before the courts it will be either withdrawn from there or passed upon by that tribunal before being considered formally by Gov. Ansel. Big Cotton Fire in Rock Hill. | The third and most destructive cotton fire of the season visited Rock Ilill early Sunday morning. 1 The warehouse of Edward was burned with 700 or 800 of ' bales of cotton, putting the loss at about $35,000 on the cotton and $3,000 on the building. This is estimating the cotton at the local market price. Speculating, much more was lost, because the cotton was for the most part stored because 1 he i owners were not willing to take I the market price. The cotton i was insured upon the basis of market value, of course. On the building Mr. Fewell had about $3,000 insurance. This 1 warehouse was badly damaged on September 13 and 200 bales of cotton burned. \ . 1 ft ' > * ft # k '? : # * SPECTACLES AND EYE-GLASSES. Come in and ^et us fit you.
