Jr. The people oi Bamberg have not had the pleasure of witnessing a more beautiful wedding than that of Miss GeDelle Brabham, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brabham, of this city, to Mr. LeRoy Wilson, Jr., son of Capt. LeRoy Wilson, of Allendale, last Thursday evening, at 6 o'clock, in Trinity Methodist church. Under the direction of Mesdames H. F. Bamberg, M. W. Brabham and J. E. Felder, the large auditorium had been converted into a veritable dream of pink and white loveliness. These colors were most effectively carried out in the decorations, and in the costumes of the attendants. On the right was an arch of white, entwined with graceful smilax supporting the letter B, constructed of white roses, through which the entrance was made, and on the left arose a similar arch, bearing the tit tVin KriHo'c nnth nf Hp 1CUC1 *V , tuc W11UV u fW>u parture. Directly over the center, and spanning the rostrum, another greater arch held the wedding bell, a most artistic creation of roses as white as the drifted snow. A great holder of pink carnations y nodded their perfume-ladened heads over the center of the altar rail, myriads of tiny pink candles added their twinkling beams to the brilliant electric lights, and trailing ferns formed a most effective and charming background, enhancing and accentuating in a most striking manner this beautiful picture, and forming a bower well adapted to the plighting of troth by this popular young couple. Lohengrin's tender notes from the pipe organ, played by Mrs. A. W. Knight, announced the appointed hour, and slowly the attendants in the following order filed in and took their places within the chancel: Ushers, Messrs. A. M. Brahham, F. M. Moye, H. F. Bamberg and J. E. Felder, all of Bamberg. Attendants: Mr. J. E. Searson, of Allendale, with Miss Ramella Rice, of Denmark; Mr. G. R. Bullock, of Bennettsville, with Miss Lucille Folk, of Bamberg; Mr. C. F. Brooks, of Allendale, with Miss Frankie Folk, of Bamberg; Dr. Vance W. Brabham, of Bamberg, with Miss Lillian Moss, of Royston, Ga.; Mr. E. M. Mixson, of Orangeburg, with Miss Annie Lou Byrd, of Bamberg; Master Harold Brabham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Brabham, of Allendale, ring-bearer, and little Miss Adelle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brbaham, Jr., of Bamberg, flower girl. Following the tiny boy and fairylike maiden to their places on the rostrum, came the dainty, fair bride, handsomely gowned in a princess costume of white duchess satin with accessories of Irish lace, tulle veil entrain, carrying a shower bouquet of white carnations, attended by her maid of honor, Miss Susie Hodges, of Greenwood. Advancing from the rear of the rostrum, with Mr. W. L. Maner, of Allendale, best man, the dark, handsome groom met the bride-elect beneath the suspended bell, and there, in a most solemn and impressive manner, Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of Trinity, performed the sacred ceremony which united - " A these, two lives "for oeuer or ior worse." The maids were dreams of beauty in their princess gowns of white satin, entrain, with armsfull of pink carnations, only the maid of honor wearing a costume of pinl*. Harold Brabham, the ring-bearer nephew of both bride and groom, wore a handsome suit of white satin, with trimmings of pink, and little Adelle, niece of the bride, was most dainty in hand-made lingerie Irish lace, white, with butterfly sash of pink. The gentlemen were elegantly attired in regulation evening dress. A dreamy reverie softly echoed through the stillness during the ceremony, tfnd as the last solemn words were spoken, the joyous, triumphant chords of Mendelssohn burst from the organ ancj bade ttie happy pair "God speed" as they wended their way out to begin life's journey together. From the church, the bridal party repaired to the beautiful, hospitable home of the bride's parents, where Mrs. Brabham was efficiently and graciously assisted in her duties as hostess by Mrs. Henry F. Bamberg and Mrs. Jacob E. Felder, near relatives of the bride. 4 Snnn the euests were regaled with delightful refreshments, consisting of a course of salads, cakes and coffee, Misses May Brabham, Bessie Armstrong and Leonard Folk being the "charming waitresses. The happy young couple left on the 8 o'clock evening train, en route for Washington, showered with rice, old shoes and good wishes. The bride's traveling costume was a most becoming coat suit of navy blue cloth, with hat and gloves of the same shade. In this marriage Bamberg l^ses one of her most loved daughters, for upon their return the young couple will reside in Allendale, where Mr. Wilson is a popular and successful railroad official. This young girl, a native of Bamberg, is well educated, possessing a cultivated voice of marked sweeetness, and being a lovely Christian character, she is esteemed by all who know her, and is * ' ?"V. -1 C!,.r./4n,r laenuneu wuu uuuivu, ouuua; school and league, therefore we grudgingly see her depart for another home. Mr. Wilson is a young man of noble quality and most estimable character, being a brother of Mrs. Otis Brabham and Mrs. Eugene Weisslnger, both of whom have lived in Bamberg and have many warm friends and admirers here. A very large number of valuable gifts in cut-glass, hand-painted china, and linen proclaim the popularity of these two young people. The Herald extends warm congratulations and sincere wishes for a well-lived, successful married life. The out-of-town guests to the Brabham-Wilson marriage were: Mr. J. E. Searson, Mr. I. D. Ellis, Mr. W. L. Maner, Mr. and Mrs. C. / < * / R. Wilson, Capt. LeRoy Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. All, Miss Aline All, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Brabham and sons. Carlisle and Harold, Mr. J. S.

Mixon, of Orangeburg: ' r. and Mrs. Eugene Weissinger and little son, Calhoun, of Blackville; Miss Susie Hodges, of Greenwood, and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Brabham, of Cope. Knights of Pythias. An interesting meeting of Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held last Monday evening in the court house. The rank of Knight was conferred on Mr R. E. Hoffman, and several applications were received. A committee consisting of W. D. Rhoad, H. C. Folk, and L. B. Fowl- , er was appointed to have full charge of the arrangements in regard to a lodge room, and they were instructed to go ahead and procure the hall from city council, provided the rent was not more than $150.00 a year. a hire committee has already been appointed by the Masonic lodge, and these committees will confer with city council and arrange to rent the lodge room on the third floor of the new city hall. Plans for the building are now being prepared, and work will soon commence on Bamberg's first "sky scraper." Mr. Goodrich, of Augusta, is architect for the building. The third floor will be used as a lodge room for the secret orders exclusively and fitted up handsomely. Officers will be elected at the next meeting of the Knights, and there should be a full attendance of the members. Ministers* Conference. The Ministers' Conference of the Barnwell Baptist Association met at the Baptist pastorium in this city last Monday.. Only a few of the ministers were present, but a very profitable and pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Rev. T. G. Herbert, pastor of the Methodist church, was an invited guest, and was for the time being "one of the boys." All in attendance dined with Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Frier that day. At night a welcome service was held in the Baptist church in honor of Rev. O. J. Frier, the pastor, who has recently moved into the Association. Good addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Herbert in behalf of other denominations, by Rev. S. P. Hair on behair of tne Ministers uonierence and the Association, by Rev. Mr. Jones, of Williston, on the relations of a church to her pastor. The choir rendered some excellent and appropriate music, and the whole occasion was worthy of a larger crowd than attended. Jail Delivery at Laurens. Laurens, Dec. 14.?A jail delivery, in which five white men secured their liberty for about two hours, occurred here this morning at about 8 o'clock. The escape was effected by burning the wooden door around the bolts which held the locks, a poker being used for the purpose. Four of the prisoners were captured in less than two hours, among them being W. A. Foreman, who is in jail for beating a ride on the train and is being held for deserting the United States army. The only one not yet captured is Albert Riley, the young man from Greenwood, who was arrested for stealing a suit case and some clothes from the Owings boarding house. Great Western Life Go. Insurance Commissioner Vandiver of Missouri has informed Commissioner McMaster that the Great Western Life Company has been reorganized, has largely increased its deposit with the insurance department, and that he feels that all policyholders will be perfectly safe in paying their insurance premiums. It will be recalled that the license for this company was revoked by Commissioner McMaster some months ago. It has a number of policyholders in South Carolina, to whom its reorganization will be welcome news. True Bills Against Butlers. Greensboro, N. C., Dec. 14.?The grand jury of Guilford superior court this afternoon returned four true bills against ex-United States Senator Marion Butler and his brother, Lester Butler, charging criminal libel against ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams, chairman of the Republican party of North Carolina. The charges are based upon articles published in the Raleigh (N. C.) Caucasian, owned by the Butlers, several months ago. The ex-senator and his brother .were arrested November 4, and bound over to the present term of court in bonds of $1,000 each to await action by the grand jury. On motion of the Butlers attorneys the trial is continued until January term of court, notwithstanding that Adams' attorneys pressed for trial. Neither of the Butlers was in court to-day.

It is understood that the president intends sending it to con - AT gress ror mioriuauuu ui iuo lawmakers who may want an investigation of the purchase of the canal property in order to determine if American syndicate got a "rake off." Stand by your town. . Not a dollar invested there but some good comes of it. There is no family like one's own family, there is no wife like one's own wife; there should be no town like one's own town, where we live, educate our children, on whose street our babies play, and where we may some day sleep. THE HOME STRETCH. Big Voting Contest Closes Next Thursday Night. The great voting contest for the most popular little girl in Bamberg closes next Thursday night at 12 o'clock.

Where goods are charged at all, we do not allow votes. There are a number of contestants, and while there are leaders in the race, it cannot be said who will win out, as a lot of votes are out and have not been cast.

Insurance Commissioner Gjves Out Facts He Has Gathered. Columbia, Dec. 14.?State Insurance Commissioner McMaster to-day gave to the press an interesting detailed statement of the facts he has been able to gather regarding the Seminole Securities Company and its deal with the Southern Life of North Carolina. In the opening paragraph he calls the Southern Life down for its advertisement regarding accident, health, and liability insurance. He DAVfl the comDany is not licensed tc do such a business in this State, and that its application for license had been refused pending an' investigation of the company's deal with the Seminole. The commissioner several days ago wrote to Manager Cooper, oi the Southern Life, demanding a complete statement regarding the deal between the Seminole and the Southern Life. A letter received from Mr. Cooper tcnday says that this will be forwarded to-day. As to the commissioner's inquiry as to whether any officers of the Southern Life shared in the big commission paid Herbert, Mr. Cooper stated in his letter that he prefered this answer not to go in the public record, but he would say unhesitatingly that no officer, nor any one else connected with his company, had in any way shared in this commission, and he had no reason to believe any of the officers of the Seminole Company shared in it. He would put this in the report and the commissioner could use his own discretion about putting it in th record. According to Mr. McMaster's statement, President Garlington, oi the Seminole, told him that the deal with the North Carolina company had been passed upon and approved by Commissioner Young. Mr Garlington is flatly contradicted Ir this by a letter from Mr. Young tc Mr. McMaster, in which Mr. Young says he not only had not approved the deal, but had not then even beer asked to do so. Mr. Young says the Seminole asked for permission to sell stock is North Carolina, but was denied the privilege on failure to comply with the North Carolina law. Yet great quantities of this stock were sold ir North Carolina. Edisto County Loses. Aiken, Dec. 15.?Figures received in Aiken to-night indicate a defeat for the proposed new county ol Edisto. Five out of eight boxes ir this county give, for the new county 274. and against new county, 226 The remaining three boxes are isolated and cannot be reached, but they cannot poll over 150 votes, and are claimed by the opponents of th< new county by a large majority. Reports from the Orangeburg section state that the only box in thai county gave, for the new county 9 and against, 49. Nothing has been heard from th< Lexington section concerned. If all the remaining votes were tc go for the new county it would yei lack a two-thirds majority, and th? Orangeburg side went badly againsi the scheme. L ?? Defeated in Orangeburg. Springfleld, Dec. 15.?The nev county proposition, known as Edisto was defeated in the small portion o: Orangeburg county embraced in th< formation by a vote of 49 agains and 9 in favor of the new county.
