population.

MARRIAGE AT EHRHARDT. I
Miss Inez l>emaeks Weds Mr. L. I*.
McMillan.
a
Wednesday at high noon St. James
Methodist Episcopal church at Ehr- a
hardt was the scene of the nuptials
of Miss Inez Wilson Leinacks and Mr t
Laurence Preston McMillan. Beautiful
in every detail was the wedding ^
of this popular couple. 'Twas truly
a palm wedding, and the color c
scheme was green and white, the
walls being artistically covered in a
handsome palmetto palm leaves forming
an attractive back ground to this
beautiful scene. Potted palms and
ferns also were used in the lavish
decorations, and over all swung the
large silver marriage bell. At the
end of each aisle was a graceful arch
of green tied with white ribbons, *
marking off the family reservation of c
seats. *
Miss Edna Burns, of Charleston,
was at the piano, accompanied by 1
Miss Annie Lou Byrd, of Bamberg. ?
on the violin. As the strains of Lo- 1
hengrin's wedding march sounded,
the ushers preceded the bridal party
in the following order: Right aisle,
Mr. A. M. Denbow, of Bamberg, and
Mr. T. S. McMillan, of Charleston.
Left aisle, Mr. G. D. Ryan and Dr. H.
J. Stuckey, of Bamberg. The couples
crossed in front of the altar and took
their positions on opposite sides. Fol- K
lowing them came the attendants.
Left aisle, Miss Kate Rentz with Mr.
B. D. Carter, of Bamberg; right aisle,
Miss Ollie Lee Dobson, of Gaffney.
with Mr. James McGowan, of Bamberg;
left aisle, Miss Dreka Wilder,
of Beaufort, with Mr. E. B. McLaurin,
of Bamberg. Then came the dames
of honor, Mrs. J. C. Lewis, of Bainv^yor
Mrc ripor^p MoKenzie. of I 1
Ehrhardt. The little ring bearer,
Miss Katherine Lemacks, sister of the (
bride, preceded the bride, who came s
in the right aisle on the arm of her
father, Mr. F. G. Lemacks; the groom 7
and his best man, Mr. D. M. Eaves,
of Bamberg, entering at the same t
c
time the left aisle, crossing as did
the other couples in front of the altar c
but going on the rostrum where the *
officiating minister, Rev. J. Lemacks
t
Stokes, awaited them, and while
Schumann's exquisite Traumerei was
g
being played, the beautiful ring ceremony
that made Inez Wilson Lem- *
acks Mrs. Lawrence Preston McMillan
was performed. When Mendelsohn's *
glorious wedding march was sounded,
the couples came out in the opposite
order to which they entered.
A more beautiful tableau cannot
be imagined than this proved to be? ^
the bride gowned in a most becoming
Copenhagen blue chiffon broad- ^
cloth coat suit, with plush hat and *
shaded plume and shower bouquet of
bride rose buds; the dames and maids t
in soft Copenhagen blue crepe de
chines and black picture hats, carrying
armsful of large pink chrysanthea
mums, the little ring bearer in a ^
dainty frock of lingerie, and the c
gentlemen in their natty black suits,
against the artistic back ground of
green and white, the soft candle light
over all, was a picture not soon to be ,
forgotten.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. G. Lemacks, of Ehrkardt, and
is well known in Bamberg, where by
her gracious charms she won friends j v
by the score. She made this city her 1
home for the past two years, where v
as milliner at Rentz's Millinery Store, c
she was most popular with all. She s
will be an addition to the social life t
here, and will be most graciously g
welcomed. g
Mr. McMillan is one of Bamberg's a
most highly respected young business s
men, being book-keeper and salesman c
at H. J. Brabham's store, and he is f
also one cf the most popular young 3
men here in a social way. He was re- J
cently elected a member of city coun- f
cil, ana is mayor pro tem or inai i
body. r
Shortly after the ceremony Mr. and c
Mrs. McMillan, accompanied by the r
bridal party, went to the depot in ?
Ehrhardt where they took the A. C. c
L. train for a short wedding trip. In a
a few days they will be at home to i
their friends at Mrs. J. C. Lewis's, in h
this city, where they will board for z
the present. | =
The many friends of this popular >
young couple was attested by the t
large number of prominent people of i
Bamberg who went down in automo- s
biles to attend the wedding, as well
as the array of beautiful and costly
presents in cut glass, silver, etc.,
which they received.
A beautiful reception was tendered A
the bridal party on Tuesday evening *
at the home of the bride's parents. 2

The New Dormitory.
Have you seen the new dormitory
)eing erected at the Carlisle School?
t is a building that would be a credit
o any town or any school in the
State. Bamberg might well be proud
>f it.
One of our leading business men,
vhile looking at this building the
>ther day, said: "This is one of the
iiggest things Bamberg has ever
lone." This is true, it is one of the
jiggest things from every standpoint.
The building committee reports
hat thev have just about enough
noney in hand and arranged for to
:omplete the building. About $3,)00
more is needed to install the
team heating plant and for furnishngs.
A goodly number of our citiens
have not yet contributed to the
>uilding fund, promising to do so in
he fall. It is hoped that these will
ee some of the gentlemen in charge
>f this work and make their contri>utions
at once. There may be those

Negroes Accidentally Shot.
Last Monday afternoon, while they PI
vere in a buggy coming to town, Ro- Sf
and Jennings and Reuben Morris
vere wounded by the accidental disharge
of a shot gun. Jennings was M;
eriously wounded. It appears that V;
here were three negroes in the bug- B*
;v, and that Moorer was holding the Jo
;un, when it slipped out of his hand
nd in falling the hammer struck the
tep of the buggy and it was dis>
harged, the load tearing a large ga
>iece of flesh out of the thigh of
tfoorer and lodging in tne race or
innings, on the right side, making a
earful wound. His face was horribly be
nangled. and the physicians had to ga
emove his right eye and perform an 0E
peration on his skull. He was car- gi
ied to the hospital at the Voorhees je
Ichool, and is doing very well, the
hances for his recovery being favor.ble.
Jennings and Moorer are both p.
legroes and live on Mr. W. M. Brab- \y
am's plantation, near town. As soon
possible after the accident the ne- j?]
.roes were brought to town and their
rounds dressed, later Jennings being
aken by Mr. Brabham in his autonobile

vhether the dog was afflicted with

lead was sent to the Pasteur Insti- r:
