At the recent Keform Club dinner.
Cleveland rightfully claimed *';l
for himself and his followers the a"
credit tor the election of McKin- : ^
ley. To use his own words, the ; hr
Republicans were ''placed in
power as the result of splendid S'1
Democratic patriotism." Rut in "e
stead of the phrase "spliendid j,n;
Democratic patriotism," he shouhl |
have said, "accursed mugwump ! I"
disloyalty and treachery." He '(>
but adds to his sins by taking the
name of Democracy in vain.

A Jtrtlliont H'rtf<lunj.
A marriage is always an event
of interest whether it he that ofu
Queen, the lace of whose dress
may cost a thousand pounds, or
* the peasant girl who is happy in
' love's young dream, even in her
i rustic simplicity.
A very beautiful wedding took
' place in the Presbyterian church
\ on Thursday evening last, April
i 20th. The high contracting parties
were Mr. Stewart W. Heath,
a popular and successful young
business man of our town, and
Miss Mayme Brown, the accomplished
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. McD. Brown, of this place.
The doors of the church were
, thrown open at 8:30 o'clock and
> the building was soon filled to its
5 utmost capacity. The ushers were
1 Dr. G. W. Stevens, Messrs. \V. C.
Hough, John Crawford and Walter
Davis. The contrasting colors
of the evening were gold and
white. The ushers carried wands
' of these olors alternately. Al|
though the crowd w: s large the
( ushers were so efficient in the
discharge of their duties that
every one was seated without confusion.
( Much artistic skill and taste
was displayed in the church deco
lations. Just in front of the chan|
eel a graceful arch of evergreens
extended Irom aisle to aisle. The
. columns and chandeliers were
''beautifully entwined with evergreens
and dowers. The chancel
" was ablaze with gayest colors,
spring's brightest treasures, cut
j Mowers and potted plants, interspersed
with palms and ferns.
' immediately over the contracting
' , parties were suspended two em
' | l.lematic doves typical, we trust,
1 ol peace and love that is tr? he
, with them as they journey down
' tlie voyajre of lite.
Promptly at t) o'clock the hri1
dal party arrived. As they enter
ed the vestibule Miss Kileen
Lemmond, assisted by Mr. P. (i.
s McCorkle, sang with very sweet
' ell'ect one verse of t lie sonj; uYou."
| The wedding march was then ren
I dered very beautifully by Miss
I Mary Hunter, and the attemlants.
' of whom there were ten couples,
' | marched gracefully down the aisles
? and took their respective places
- around the chancel. l'he couples
51 were as follows: Mr. P. <L Mc('orkle,Miss
Minnie Swit/.er ; Mr.
llarrv Foster,Miss Maud Heath;
Mr. P. Frown, Miss Nan WitliI
ers ; Mr \V. H. Heath, Miss Florence
Frown ; Mr. Hervey Wither.
' spoon, Miss Mecca Avery ; Mr. C.
. | I). Jones, Miss Locke Crawford ;
II Mr. J. II. Witherspoon, Miss Lena
>j Heath; Mr. J. T. Stevens, Miss
1 Fannie Hasselfine : Mr. F. II.
; Hardin. Miss Floise Foster; Mr.
[ j M. C. Heath, Mi<s Aline Moblev.
Next in order came the llower
. jrirls, Miss Mary Kvans Wylie and
1 Miss Minnie Jones, the one pre
'coding llie groom, the other the
1 1 bride, one scattering white roses,
f the ot her yellow ones. The groom
I ! :'aine down the right aisle leaning
4! on the arm of his brother, Mr. M.
[ ' <'. I feath, and the bride down the
left aisle supported by her maid
of honor,Miss A'ine Mobloy. They
[ met before the alter. A solemn
hush fell over the assembly as
. Dr. C. W. Humphreys, in a short
i but impressive ceremony, pro
I nounced them man and wife. The
f party remained in position a few
i moments and Miss I.emmond and
Mr. McCorkle sang the last verse
i of the song "You." The wedding
' march was then resumed and they
/ J tiled out of the church.
1 The bride was gowned in white
> brocade made tn twite,. The bris
da I veil hung gracefully over her
? slight figure greatly enhancing
s her lovliness. Her bouquet was
a (duster of Marshal Xeil roses.
1 The bridesmaids were beautiful
i ly dressed m organdie made <h

s' After the church ceremony
there was an elegant reception
given at the homo of the bride's
parents and many handsome pros
en I s were received.
Let us hope that two lives so
beautifully made one may be
abundantly happy and prosper
j ous and that a heavenly benediction
may rest upon them.
The next day an elegant reception
was given the bridal party
at the home of Mr. J no. T.
Stevens, a business partner of

The sad, though not unexpected
news of the death of our townsman,
Mr. Nathaniel (i. B. Chafee,
was given to the public here last
Thursday by a telegram from
Marshal J. 1*. lluntcr. The end
came at 7:110 o'clock that morning.
His family were all with
him in his last illness up to his
death.
From the News and Courier we
get the following account of his
war record and of his life afterwards
:
"Mr. Chafee was born in Charleston
on February 14, 1842, and was therefore
a little over 65 years of age. lie
was a member of Camp Sumter, No.
250, I'nlted Confederal Veterans. His
| war record was one of which his JainiJ
ly may be proud, lie entered the serI
vice of the State early in 1X02, he enlisted
in the Confederate service in
j Capt. Davis's company,the South Carolina
Hangers, known during the war
as Company "1)" of the 5th regiment,
South Carolina cavalry. His service
in 1X02 and 1X03 was on the coast of
this State, but his company wasorderI
ed to Virginia in the spring of 1X64,
j forming a part of Itutler's brigade,
j Hampton's division of cavalry, A. N.
V. Mr. Chafee was present in all of
t lie hutt les and engagements fought by
( his brigade during the campaign in
j \ irginia, notably at Chester Station,
Drury's Blutf. Charles City Court
House, White House, Nance's Shop,
Beam's Station, Gravelly Run, White
Oak Road, Vanghan Road, Burgess's
Mill, etc. The brigade came back to
South Carolina the following winter
to procure remounts, and participated
in the battles of Fayetteville, A very stioro

11 to April l.'l, 1S?5, and surrendered
with Joluiaton's army at IliUisboro,
N. C. Mr. C ha fee served throughout
the war with zeal and fidelity, enduring
with eheerfulness all the privaI
lions incident to the service, and con|
ducting himself in battle with distinguished
bravery, lie never aspired to
' be more than a private in the cause
which was so dear to his heart, but he
| endeared himself to his comrades and
enjoyed the friendship and esteem of
(Jens. Hampton and Itutler and all the
other officers of his command.
The war ended, he addressed himself
to the duties of citizen, and engaged
in business, tlrst at Aiken, but
subsequent ly at Lancaster, B.C., where
' he established himself in business, and

Itt April 1SG4 Mr. Chafeo was

I with his fellow man, Mr. (Jhufee

man of fine conversational pow!

His remains were interred at
Aiken Friday. To the bereaved

Beware *
Of Mercury!
Mr. Henry Roth, of 1848 South 9th V
Street, St. Louis, was given the usual
, mercurial ticatment for contagious
blood poison. Ifc was twice pronounced
cured, but the disease returned each
time, lie was seized with rheumatic
pains, and red lumps and sores cov"I
was in a horsays,
"and the >
more treat\
~l ment I received,
the worse I
seemed to get.
?' he6could cure
I \ ly ji f ]'/ me, but his
v\WLfr 'jy treatment did
me no good
whatever. I was stiff and full of
pains, my left arm was useless sothat
I was unable to do even the
lightest work. This was my condition
when I began to take S. S. S., and a
few bottles convinced me that I was
being benefitted. I continued the
medicine, and one dozen bottles cured
me sound and well. My system was
under the effects of mercury, and I
would soon have been a complete
wreck but for S. S. S."
S. S. S., (guaranteed purely vegetable\
is the only cure
for real blood dis- 4k
cases. The mercurial
treatment
of the doctors al- ^^B ^^B
ways does more
harm than good. Tleware of mercury!
