At Conway Methodist church, at I the hour of 3 o'clock last Tuesday afternoon, Miss Bessie Burroughs < was married to Mr. Edwin J. Shcr- J wood iu the presence of one of tho I largest audiences this church has ! ever had. The church could not ' hold all those who wished to see. J Decorators had been at work during Monday with the prettiest (lowers and most ingenious designs, making tho church far exceed iu j beauty the flower gardens of May. There were three or more floral arches, under one of which the bridal party stood while the cere- ! mony was being performed. There was just euough light to enhance the beauty of the scene and lend it 1 enchantment. I As the wedding inarch was skillfully played by Mrs. Hal L. Buck, Miss Jessamine Burroughs, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. ' Burroughs entered the aisle carrying llowers and ttiocusion on which the contracting parties were later to kneel. She wore a beautiful dress of pink silk. Then while Messrs Charles R. ( Scarborough and D. T. Riley of Conway marched down ono of the aisles, Messrs. L. D. McGrath of New York and J. D. Matmiug of Marion march- ( eddown the other, followed by Miss ; Mary Atwater of Hendersonvdle, N. ! C., the maid of honor. Miss At- j water was gowned in light blue silk ( mull and carried the large bouquet of brides' roses and maiden hair ferns. The bride, wearing a most i becoming travelling suit of dark . blue broadcloth and loaning on the i arm of her brother, Mr. P. A. Bur- I roughs, marched up the left aisle, 1 while the groom with Mr. A. W. Barrett marched up the i ight, The < bride and groom took their places in < front of the altar, the bride given in 1 marriage by her brother, Mr. P. A. ' Burroughs ' The large audience held its breath : it seemed, so quiet was the scene, i Standing in front of the chancel was 1 tho Rev. W. L. Wait of the Methodist church, and while music soft and low floated from the piano, ho performed the ceremony in his quiet 1 and impressive style which made ( them man and wife. The bride and ' groom knelt befoie him and with 5 his hands upon their heads he blessed them. The party then marched ( out in the usual manner. In the ( street near the door of the church, J an automobile was waiting to tako ' Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood to the de- s pot. They left on the afternoon ! train on a wedding tour. 1 Many friends followed them lo ! the depot to see them oft.

The uegrocamehere from Orangeburg and but little is known about his antecedents. On Friday evening he wanted 1,1 i 1 ton to give him an order for his pay. The boss was not ready to do so. This started the trouble with the resu'.t that the negro had to run.

Occasion Will be Public ami all arc In vlted to be Present. Quito an elaborate program has been arranged for the next tcachors' meeting, which will convene in the Burroughs School Auditorium.Saturday morning, Dec. 8th, at eleven o'clock. The program committee has decided to make this meeting a public one, and has invited speakers for the occasion. They are Supt. K. V. Best, Supt.-elect VV. A. Prince, and Col. D. A. Spivoy. All of these -v iii IUIIU.-U are popular educators and havo long been in the vanguard of all educational movements in this county. The Association and friends of education in Horry should feoljustly proud of securing such a trio'to address them, and should avail themselves of tho opportunity of being present. Retiring Supt. Rest, who has been a life long friend of education, in Horry, ami who has both faithfully and skillfully performed the duties of his office for four years, will give the Association an account of his stewardship during those years. Ho will furnish some very interesting statistics on education in this county, and will conclude by introducing his successor to the teachers of Horry. Supi.-elect Prince will then make his initial official address to the Association, giving some timely advice and encouragement. Hon. 1) A, Spivey will next address the Association on 44 The Progress of Teaching in Horry. As every one knows, Col. Spivey is a versatile and elaborate speaker, and will t/ivo. tho teachers a rare treat on this auspicious occasion. Having once served as teacher himself, and since then he has boen directly or indirectly associated with educational work, besides being prominent in educational circles in the State, ho is peculiarly litted to give the Association an interesting address on this subject. It is earnestly hoped that every teacher in Horry will be present at this meeting and all the friends of education will attend this rally. ? # "Wild Rumors" Denied. Kditor Horry Herald: Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words about the 44wild rumors" that appeared in the last issue of the Herald staling that rumor has it that Thomas Johnson and John Strickland, in the Pleasant Meadow section, had gotten Into a cutting all ray about Charlotte Simmons. As to the cutting I am glad io tell the readers of the Herald that it is a mistake. There is only one John Strickland in the Pleasant Meadow, or rather Zoun, section. John Strickland is working for tho Crow Saw Mill Co in less than one-half mile of mo I see him every day or two and I know that if there had been anything It hat serious 1 would have heard something about it. As for Tom Johnson, Commander's brother, if he has been in this section tor sometime I have not heard of it. Mr. Editor, I have written these lines because I do not think that John Strickland or any ono else should remain under such an accusation as that unless they were guilty. Sub. Adrian Editor Herald?If you will allow me space I will write you a few lines for your valuable paper, Farmers are through harvesting their crops and many of them have excepted positions through the winter months.
