Miss Rosa Lee Burton and Mr. Rob ert Erwin Sims of Chester were mar ried yesterday at twelve thirty at the Frist Presbyterian church. The bride is a general favorite in Laurens, numbering her friends among both the young and old, so her marriage was an event of very decided interest, and the church was crowded with friends and well wishers. Promptly at twelve thirty, the hour appointed for the ceremony, Mrs. W. E. Lucas began playing the wedding march, and the bridal party entered the church, which was very handsomely decorated in ivy, and many beautiful potted plants. Rev. F. K. Sims, of Mobile, Ala., the groom's brother, assisted by Rev. J. D. Pitts of the First Baptist church of this city, performed the ceremony. The bridesmaids were: Misses Dorcas Calmes and Lillian Irby of Laurens, Lucile Wilson of Newberry, Griflie Dorroh of Greenville, Frances Abell of Chester, and Josephine Withers of Columbia. They were pretty gowned in lingerie waists and linen skirts, with large white hats, and carried bouquets of carnations. The bride entered the church with her cousin and maid of honor, Miss Mary Carwile Burton, of Newberry, who wore a pretty costume of Persian lawn and lace. The bride wore a stylish touring suit of gray over green taffeta, and looked very lovely. The ushers were: Messrs. Theodore Tinsley and Robert Gage of Chester, F. K. Spratt of Spartanburg, Ossie Anderson, H. G. Welborn and Reuben Pitts of Laurens. The groom was at tended by his brother, Mr. Will Sims, of Chester, as best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Sims drove at once to the station and boarded the train for Ches ter. On the evening previous to the wed ding Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Burton ten dered a reception to the bridal party and a number of friends and relatives. Among the out of town guests were: Mrs. Rosa McLean of Rock Hill, Mrs. Claudia Key of Chester, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Featherstone entertained the Fortnightly Social Club at six o'clock Saturday afternoon in honor of Miss Rosa Lee Burton, a bride elect and one of the club's most popular mem bers. The entertainment took the form of a "porch party," the large cool piazza of the Featherstone home being trans formed for the time into a reception room, prettily decorated with flowers and stately palms and drooping ferns. Tables were arranged for progressive "Nations," and as there were quite a large number of guests the game proved unusually interesting. Each guest was presented with a score card, beautifully decorated by the hand of an artist; each design different, but each suggestive of the ascendency of bride roses and the lovely brides of June. The refreshments were dainty heart shaped cakes, decorated in white and green, and pistache ice cream carried out the color scheme of white and green. Mrs. Jesse H. Teague entertained delightfully for the members of Euchre Club last Thursday afternoon. Four handed bid euchre and delicious refresh ments were much enjoyed by the jolly coterie who compose the membership of the club. Miss Grace Simmons gave a delight ful entertainment last evening in honor of her guest Miss Mills of Rock Hill. Col. Wharton is a Winner Too. A Portland, Oregon, dispatch, des cribes Governor George E. Chamberlain the democrat, who has just been re elected, although Republicans were elec ted to the other offices, as having "the gladdest hand that was ever reached out." We object to the reckless use of the superlative, and, while we are willing to concede that Governor Cham berlain is entitled to eminence in this classification, we would call attention to the glad hand of Hon. John H. Whar ton, of Waterloo, whose glad hand we are ready to pit against the Oregonian's any day in the year and back it for all we are worth. ?News and Courier, Mrs. Wm. Poole Dead.

MEETING HELD IN 8PAIITANBUK0. Resolution Passed Requesting Railroad Commission to Have Railroad Put on Morning and Afternoon Trains. Spartanburg, June 7.?There was a meeting held to-day of the members of the local chamber of commerce, and representatives from towns along the Charleston & Western Carolina Railway. The meeting was attended by represen tatives fiom Greenwood, Laurens, Moores, Woodruff, and many members of chamber of commerce. Messrs. J. H. Wharton and John H. Earle of the railroad commission were nlso present. The meeting took the form of a pro test against the accommodations which the C. &.' W. C. railroad is at present giving Spartanburg and the towns along the line. There is at present only one passenger train leaving this city daily on the road and the through freights which carry passengers run with such irregularity that they cannot be depended upon. The meeting this afternoon passed a resolution requesting the railroad com mission to request the C. & W. C. rail road to run a train into Spartanburg in the morning and leaving this city in the afternoon. The resolution also pro vided that the present rule of the com pany to allow passengers to ride on the through freight be adhered to. The motion was passed by the body, there being only one dissenting vote, which was registered by Mr. H. L. Watson, of Greenwood, who voted against the proposed morning train into Spartan burg. If the train is granted to Spar tanburg, Greenwood will have a morn ing train in Augusta, and one also into Spartanburg, which will without doubt affect the retail trade of that place. The meeting this afternoon was well SCHEDULE COMMITTEE MEETS. Dr. W. H. Dial Presses (he Desires of Laurens.

As Mr. Childs stated, it is a matter with Mr. G. C. Lynch, the superintendent of the Charleston and Western Carolina. Some time ago this was agitated by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, and a meeting was held in Laurens to discuss it, but as yet Mr. Lynch has not officially notified the com mittee of his decision. Get a Lawn Swing so that the old and young folks at your home can enjoy themselves during the hot weather, S. M. & E. H. Wilkes & Co. attended, and lasted for several hours. The C. & W. C. road was represented by Mr. Earnest Williams, of Augusta, general freight and passenger agent of the road, and Mr. Dorr, who was rep resenting Superintendent Lynch of the road. There were many speeches made both by the representatives of the com mercial bodies and by the railroad offi cials. The outcome was that the above resolution was passed. PREACHER AND DESERTER.

At a meeting here today of the State Railroad Commission a letter was sent to Mr. G. C. Lynch, general superintendent of the Charles ton & Western Carolina railroad, de manding that an additional train be put on between Greenwood and Spartan burg by Laurens, so as to leave Green wood about 7A.M. and leave Spartan burg on the return trip between 6 and 7 P. M. This will give Laurens the re lief it has been seeking so long. There is only one train each way on this line and the law gives the commission power to order another.

Clemson College, June 10.?The com mencement exercises at Clemson Col lege have begun and by Wednofdny 600 students will be turned out at this in stitution for a vacation of three months. Today there was very little done by the students. In the morning a very interesting sermon was delivered by Dr. Jas. Y. Fair of Savannah.

Dr. Fair is a South Carolinian, having been born in Abbe ville and was a leading minister in Richmond several years ago. From there he went to Savannah and lie has done a great deal of missionary work among the seaman of that' city. Two years ago he delivered the baccalau reate sermon to the graduates of the Columbia Theological seminary and a year previous he preached a similar sermon to the graduating class of tho College for Women, so that he is not a stranger to Columbians.
