Beautiful Marriage in Pleasant Valley.
One of the most beautiful
church weddings ever witnessed
in this community took place
Wednesday evening at the Pleasant
Hill Methodist church, when
Miss Loma Inez Harris was
united in marriage to Mr. William
Charlton McGinn. Promptly at
seven o'clock the bridal party
marched in to the sweet strains
of Mendelsshon's mkrch, beautifully
rpndprpd hv Miss RpKpppji
Harris, sister of the bride.
The church was most beautifully
decorated with' ivy, ferns,
and chrysanthemums. The bridal
party came in in the following
order: the bride and her maid
of honor, Miss Kate McGinn, in
the right aisle, and the groom
and his best man, Mr. Walter
Robinson, in the left aisle. The
gates were opened and closed by
little Miss Olive Harris and Master
Olin Harris. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. W. M. ,
Owings, the pastor of the bride 1
and groom, and the bridal party 1
marched out while Tannhouser's
wonderful production was being
played.
The bride was arrayed in white
satin trimmed with baby Irish
lace and made en train, her veil
being tied with lilies of the valley.
She carried a beautiful
bouauet of white carnations and
maiden hair ferns. Her maid of
honor wore white silk, made
directoire, and carried white
chrysanthemums. The gentlemen
wore the conventional evening
attire.
After the ceremony, the bridal
party and a large com Dan v of
invited guests repaired to the
home of the bride's parents,
j Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Harris,
where an elegant reception was
tendered them. Miss Aileen
Harris presided at the punch
bowl. After a bountiful course
supper, the bridal cake was cut
with the following results: the
ring went to Miss Rebecca Harris,
the thimble to Miss Aileen
Harris, the bachelor's button to
Mr. J. J. Bailes, and the coin
to Mr. Rob McGinn. The bride
and groom were the recipients
of many beautiful and useful
1 presents, attesting the popularity
of this young couple. After the
honeymoon, they will reside in
Fort Mill, where the groom is
; engaged in business and where
he is well known for his sterling
I character and business qualifica'
tions. They have the best wishes
of a host of admiring friends for
a long life of happiness and
prosperity. S. E. B.
Will Revise Oar School Laws.
A commission to revise the
I South Carolina school laws is a
| suggestion that Superintendent
of Education Martin will make
in hie onnnol fPW*>4- 4-U^
I 111 lllti (1IIIIUMI 1 t. 1 Jiat II1C I
I present school laws are contradictory
and confusing, due largely
to the passage of special school
acts at different times, is a condition
that the State Supt. of
Education says exists and in his
opinion the work of all school authorities
would be simplified and
rendered more smooth by the appointment
of a commission with
instructions to remove the differences
and bring the laws into
. agreement. This plan has worked
! well in other States. Mr. Martin ;
i lias for some time opposed the
formation of special school districts
by special acta of the Legislature,
but the defects in the
1 school laws go even furtMf than
this particular,

Prohibitionists Plan Viforons Campaign.
_
Rev. John L. Harlej^ at one ,
time pastor of the Fort Mill
Methodist church, but now State
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, is out in the papers with
the statement that an extensive
pnd vigoruos campaign is to be ;
instituted right away, with a:
view to influencing the coming
Legislature to either pass a Statewide
prohibition bill or provide
for submitting the issue to the !
next primary. The first work
will be before the several religious
bodies, which hold State j
conventions this fall.
With a view to working up
enthusiasm in the matter of I
State-wiie prohibition a State
convention of prohibitionists will
be held at Columbia in the hall
of the house of representatives
on December 3, to which every
minister of the gospel in the
State, all executive committeemen
of the League, and every
state senator and member of the j
house is invited and urged to at-'
tend.
Mr. Harley himself prefers re-!
ferring the question to the peo- j
pie. This would delay action for
at least two years, insuring the
continuance of the present sys-,
tern in the meantime. When
this scheme was urged in the
last legislature it was objected to
on the ground that all the legislature
could do would be to refer
the subject to the State Democratic
convention with a request
to refer it to the wople. The
State convention votld down the
proposition by a large majority, i
Yorkville Gets Episcopal Orphanage.
At a meeting of the board of |
trustees of the Episcopal Home I
and Orphanage, held Saturday
in Charleston, it was determined |
to separate the institution, re-11
taining the ladies home in Char- 1
leston to occupy the premises now
jointly used and to establish the j
orphanage at Yorkville, whose j
uroo Arvr>oi/lL? ?

best of the propositions made. '
Greenville, Winnsboro, Green-1
wood and Spartanburg also submitted
propositions. The offer j
of Yorkville was considered to be
equivalent to an offer of $30,000 >
in cash and in addition the city !
is to furnish water and light free
of cost for a period of 10 years.
Greenville made the next best
offer, which had a money equivalent
of probably $15,000. The
buildings of the old King's'
Mountain Military academy, I
founded by Gen. Micah Jenkins,
Col. Asbury Coward, 11 acres of
land, $5,000 in cash, practically
made up the offer of Yorkville.
