A Romantic Couple Elope from the North State and Marry in Gaffney at 1 O’clock in the Morning. Mr. Herman C. Mills and Miss Gladys Bowen, of Wilksboro, N. C., ar rived in the city Wednesday night on , the midnight train and ordered a car- 1 riage and went to the residence of Rev. W. R. Potter, where he at 1 o’clock a. m. performed the ceremony that made them one. They returned to the Parish Hotel and left on the ; early train Thursday morning for their home in the Old North State. They carry with them the good wishes | of Gaffney. Mr. D. M. Moore and i “Cuz” witnessed the ceremony. The following from the Charlotte Observer of yesterday, throws more light on the subject: One of the most interesting and prettiest romances that ever took place in the Old North State was cul minated last night at Gaffney, S. C., when Miss Gladys Elizabeth Benbow, of Wilkesboro, and Mr. Herman Cavi- ness Mills, of Raleigh, were married. The couple spent a fidgety half-hour in Charlotte last night and did not hesitate to tell an Observer reporter the entire story, from the time Cupid began to play with their hearts. Boh of the young people belong to the best families in the State. Miss Benbow, a decidedly pretty girl of nineteen summers, is the eldest daughter of Mr. L. S. Benbow, who is a well-known citizen of Wilkesboro. Mr. Mills is a son of Mr. Walter Mills, of Raleigh, president of the Carolina Trust Company. He is only 20 years old and his parents objected to bis marriage because of his youth. The parents of Miss Benbow did not object, and knew that the elopement would occur. It is the old story. The young peo ple met at Guilford College, near Greensboro, where both finished school last year, and it was a case of love at first sight. The year at, school was a happy one. Minerva retired in disorder and Cupid, the conqueror, kept almost undisputed charge of the field. Text-books were not entirely thrown aside, but Shakespeare was preferred before trigonometry and Homer’s Iliad before the orations of Cicero. Long ere the college term expired the couple decided that co-education colleges are a success and that they would never more be parted. After school was out the parents were ap proached. As mentionel above, there was no objection on the part of Mr. anil Mrs. Benbow, but the parents of the young man said that he was too young. The young man thought not. Two weeks ago he went to Wilkes boro and lived at the hotel there until yesterday morning, when the trip to South Carolina was begun. The young lady had few preparations to make. She had several gowns which had been made for her gradu ation at college a few weeks pre vious, and only one more was added to the list. This was a very becom ing dress of silver gray peau de soi silk, with hat and gloves to match, which were the costume of the bride- elect last night. The young woman is a handsome brunette, with a dash and nerve of the well-bred mountain lass. Mr. Mills is handsome also, and lias determined, though pleasing feat ures . Mr. Mills and Miss Benbow left Wilkesboro yesterday morning, ar riving at Taylorsville in the after- noon. At Statesville telegrams were sent to Rock Hill, S. C., making ar rangements for the wedding and en gaging a suite of rooms at the hotel. The couple arrived here on the Statesville train too late for No. 29, upon which they were to have gone to Rock Hill. Undaunted, they tried to engage a private conveyance to take them to Rock Hill through the country. No carriage that would take the trip could be found. The only recourse was to go to some other South Carolina town on the Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line or remain in Charlotte until this morning and then go to Rock Hill. The couple decided upon the former course, and hoarded No. 35, which was ready to pull out of the Southern yards. They said that they would go to Gaffney and be mar ried within twenty minutes after the train arrived there. And all who saw them wished them God-speed. It is a rather interesting coinci dence that Miss Nellie Benbow, the 16-year-old sister of Miss Benbow, eloped with Mr. J. Talinage Privette, also of Wilkesboro, about ten months ago, and spent awhile in the Queen City en route to Rock Hill, where the knot was tied. The objection then was on the part of the girl’s parents. Miss Benbow laughingly remarked last night that she had one other sis ter, who is now aged 15, but that she has not yet fully decided to elope. Mr. and Mrs. Mills will spend this Clark-Jones. Mr. David C, Clark, of Union, and Miss Essie Pacolette Jones, a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Jones, of this city, were married at the home of the bride’s parents on Wednesday morning by Rev. G. P. Hamrick of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church. The groom was dressed lu the con ventional black, and the bride in white silk mull. The parlor was dec orated with white roses and magno lias, and the wedding march was played by Mrs. F. E. Shuford. The high regard in which the groom and bride are held was manifested by the large number of costly presents they received. They left for the groom’s home in Union on the 9:43 train. The happy couple have the good wishes of all the people of Gaffney. Those present w r ere, Miss J. L. Ne- vitt and Miss Annie Clark, of Ander son; Hon. J. A.
