On Tuesday evening at half past six o'clock, at the Episcopal church, was the scene of a beautiful marriage cere mony. The church was well filled with the friends and relatives of the con tracting parties, and the church was nicely decorated for the occasion. The contracting parties were Miss Beulah, the intelligent and accom plished daughter of Mr. R. H. Greneker, of Helena, and Mr. B. Elliot Julien, a young merchant of our suburban villa. The beautiful and impressive cere mony of the Episcopal Church, which made the twain one, was performed by the Rev. WV. H. Hanckel, the rector of the church. Mrs. P. Robertson presided at the organ and sang a beautiful solo just before the marriage ceremony w as per formed. And before the close of the ceremony a sweetly touching hymn. Altogether the occasion was a very pleasant and happy one. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. R. H. Greneker. The ushers were Messrs. Arthur Kibler and B. B. Ramnage. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful and handsome presents. The married couple left on the even ing train for a visit to Mr. WV. F.

The e':ection on last Thursday to c termine whether the supplemental t, for the adoption of Graded Schools I Newberry should be levied passed < very qu'etly. There seemed to be liti or no interest taken in the matter, ai only 139 votes were polled. We su pose it was taken as a matter of cow that the tax would be voted, and t friends of the measure did not intern themselves, and the opposition thoug it useless. We had hoped there wou be a larger vote on a matter of su importance. The four trustees nominated wc also elected without opposition. T vote stood as follows; For tax..........................................1 For no tax ...................................... Total.................................. For trustees: Ward 1, L. M. Speers............. Ward 2, W. E. Pelbam..................1 Ward 3, Alan Johnstone.................1 Ward 4, Jas. K. Gilder..................I The following trustees are named the bill of the Legislature, creating t school district and with the ones abo make the full board: James F. Caldwell, George B. Cromer, Willia H. Wallace, James K. P. Goggans, S. Cozby, George S. Mower, and N. Mazyck. The full board elects its ov chairman and secretary. Not mo than two mills can be levied for eai year for the support of the school. T chairman and secretary shall certi the amount so voted to the Auditor the County, who shall forthwith ass( the same for collection and deliver I warrant to the treasurer of the coun for collection at the time other tax are collected. The bill then provid as follows: "That any tax voted to levied at the first election herein pi vided for under section two of this A shall be certified by the County Scht Commissioner to the County Auditor New berry County, whose duty it sh; be to assess the same upon all taxal property in said school district for it mediate collection, and he shall delis his warrant to the Treasurer to collt the same within thirty days from t date of the delivery, and subject to t usual penalties prescribed by the is against tax payers making default payment." It would seem from this that t first tax is to be levied and collect immediately. "No Court for Spartanburg." Under the above heading we find t following, copied from the Spartanbu Herald. Inasmuch as it has be copied by several papers, and the A in question affects Newberry as well Spartanburg, we have gotten the op ion of Senator Pope on the Act in qu< tion and give herewith what be sa of it, and how the law was passed. would seem from this that the Act is valid one, and that proceedings had I the court under it would be all rigi Senator Pope assures us that the A was regular, and is a good and val law: "There is uncertainty whether will have any Spring Court for Spi tanburg. The last Legislature tempted to change the time for holdii court from March to January, but ti passage of the bill was irregular a' the law may be void. The Constit tion. provides that every bill shall read in both Houses three times. T1 bill, it seems, was introduced as a joi resolution and reu. hut once. T1 mistake was discovered too late tot gin over, and the resolution w changed to a bill. the error is fat and we go on with court every tri will be void and the expense a uselt burden. If the court is not held t] court will again become far behit with its business, and justice delayed justice denied." ISenator Pope says in regard to 11 Act in question, The Herald and Nel having called his attention to the cri cismn of the Spertanburg Herald: ' was originally introduced as a bill, b the enacting words, which are requiri to be, 'Be it enacted,' &c., were a sent, and the words 'Be it resolve< &c., were used. In this shape iti ceived teree readings in the Hou! and received its first reading in t: Senate, when this error in the wordii of the bill was discovered. The Sent thereupon refused to adopt it as pass by the House. It was then by acti of both Houses referred to a conmmitt of conference as is frequently dot which conmmittee of conference ported to both Houses its inability r.gree. It was then referred to a coi mittee of free conference by action both Houses, and this committee free conference reported the bill as now stands, and the same was adopt by both branches of the General A sembly, approved by the Governor al is now a law. Such action by bo H-ouses was in strict conformity wi parliamentary law, and the criticia of the Spartanburg Herald no dou originated in its desire to retain t former ad vantages of that county as the time of holding court for Sparti burg." As the law stood before, Newber was at great disadvantage as to t time of holding her courts, many tin having ta rush through with her ci business, and many times leaving os much that ought to be attended to. Yet we cannot help remarking, we havy frequently done before, ti we have entirely too much legislati and too much changing of our laws. JUDGE PRESSLEY DECIDES THE A VALID. [Special to Charleston World.] SPARTANBURG, Jan. 27.-Court M called at ten o'clock this mlornir Judge Pressley on the* bench. M R. D.

No sooner had the society begun its work than Mr. Workman's valuable barn was set ent ire to and burned, and on the very t in next night. during lst May, Mr. ffi- Whitmtirc's d welling house was burned e is in the same way. Mr. Workman suspected certain ud persons of having connection with the incendiarism, and so applied to a pre tendled friend of his in Newberry for air advice as to a reliable detective agen rcy.

The premi umiris were more than this, they were as follows: In Augusta, on his Golden Wyandottes, 1st premiiui on cock, 1st on hen, 2d on ien, 1st on pullet, and 2d premium on Silver Laced Wyan lottes, making five premiums in all. The same birds were shipped from Augusta to the South Carolina Poultry Exhibition in Charleston, where the following premiums were awarded Mr. Kohn: On Golden Wyandottes, 1st premium on hen, 2d on lien, and 2d on pullet. On Silver Laced Wyandottes, 2d on cock and 2d on -hen, and a spe cial premium-for best display of Silver Laced Wyandottes, making six pre miunis in Charleston.
