i,
t Washington, Dec. 18.?President
Wilson and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait
pwere married at 8:30 o'clock tonight
{ 0/ and left afterwards to spend their
W * honeymoon at Hot Springs, Va. The
president and his bride travelled in a
private car attached to a special train
leaving here at 11:10 o'clock, which
is due to arrive in Hot Springs tomorrow
at 8:15 a. ra.

will lire at the Homestead hotel
until after New Year's day unless
^ some development should necessitate
the president's earlier return to the
capital. Two of the White House automobiles
have been sent on ahead
and the couple expect to spend their
honeymoon motoring, golfing and
walking over the mountain trails, lieside
the secret service guard, the
party was accompanied by one sten^
ographcr. The president will keep in
touch with the White House over special
wires.
Because the hour of the wedding
was known to comparatively few people
there was not a large crowd in
the vicinity of the bride's home, although
a large police guard had been
provided.
All arrangements for the wedding
f ceremony were carried out perfectly
the president arriving at his bride's
home soon after 8 o'clock and the remainder
of the wedding party, which
numbered less than 80, following soon
after. The ceremony was begun, as
had been arranged, at 8:30 o'clock
OTd was followed by a buffet luncheon
Mrs. Wilson wag married in the trav^
elling gown she wore to the train.
Off for Hot Sprinis.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the president
and Mrs. Wilson entered a waiting
White House automobile and
motored to Alexandria, across the Potomac,
to take their private car there
and avoid a crowd at the railroad
station in this city. They boarded
4^ their car here at 11:40 p. m., and began
their journey to Hot Springs.
The success of the ruse by which
the wedding party got away to Alexandria
was complete. When the White
House automobile pulled away from
i Mrs. Wilson's house lines of police
1 blocked pursuit in all the adjoining
f ^ streets. At the union station the prosit
* idontial entrance was fully lighted
J ;1 and lines of police were spread all
W about. Those who were attracted to
* the station by the show of preparation
were disappointed while the
president and Mrs. Wilson were speed
ing to the station across the river ten
miles away.
. After the president and his bride
^ had departed Secretary Tumulty made
this formal statement on the cere|
mony:
"The wedding was marked by sim
plicity. It was just such a wedding
as might have taken place in the
home of the humblest American citizen."
The president dined as usual at the
White House at 7 o'clock with his
daughters and afterwards drove to
his bride's home, about a mile from
the executive mansion. A cold, driv|
ing rain which swept the city all day
I cleared off at sunset. Near the
I bride's home the crowd was held back
I by police lines spread during the afI
ternoon.
I Everything was in readiness for
I the ceremony when the president arI
rived and it proceeded without delay.
I Neither the president nor Mrs. Gait
I had any attendants and there were no
I ushers or flower girls. The army, the
I navy and the diplomatic corps Were
I not represented and the occasion was
E essentially what both of the couple
I % had wished it to be?fe home wedding.

standing at the breaking point.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing are reserving comment until
they have the official translation and

V. D. Johnson was the purchaser of
the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse at
public sale on December 6th, when
the real estate of L. H. Burroughs
was sold under mortgages. He is now
making arrangements to begin extensive
repairs to the building and these
will be finished between now and the
opening of the tobacco season of 1916.
The warehouse is centrally located
between the Horry Tobacco Warehouse
and the new Planters Tobacco

SCHEDULE CHANGED
ON SUNDAY TRAINS
For a length of time the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company left off
the early train on Sunday mornings
and the late incoming trains on Sim-1
day nights, thus making a difference
in Sunday and the other days of the
week. Recently at the request of
Hon. R. B. Scarborough the officials
of that company wired that beginning
with Sunday the trains would leave
and depart on the same schedule as
on other days of the week and that
this would be continued unless the
company should find that the travel
on Sunday would not justify the
trains being run. It is confidently
expected that this new schedule will
remain on indefinitely.

As the train approached ft sharp

"Open up, or we'll kill your engineer,"
shouted one of the robbers.
Still there was no reply. Then one of
the bandits placed a revolver to Cov- jr

Tell 'em to open up or you are a

The clerks opened the door and the nj
bandits sprang into the mail car, selected

FLOWERS FOR TILLMAN
Washington.?When Senator Tillman
reached his office Saturday he
found on his desk a large, handsome
assortment of beautiful flowers. Attached
to these was a card stating
that this token of remembrance had
been sent to Senator and Mrs. Tillman
by the officers of the bureau of supplies
and accounts of the navy department
on duty in Washington. It was
further stated that, because of the
esteem in which Senator Tillman's
son, B. R. Tillman, Jr., was held by
the officers, the younger Tillman having
been working at the navy department
for the past two months preparing
the annual navy year book, the
officers of the supplies and accounts
bureau desired to pay this tribute.
