Morgan has taken a hand in the ,
affairs of the Equitable Assurance ]
Society. If this be true the Equi- <

settled very soon. Whether they 1

another matter. <

President Koosevelt chose the psychological
moment to butt into the j
Russo-Japauese unpleasantness and
adds new lustre to his fame by posing
as a peace-maker. Probably
Teddy has in mind Mr Bryan's para- 1
phrase of the beatitude, "Blessed are ,
the peace-makers, for they shall in- ,
y: herit the earth." I

General Maximo Gomez, the noted
guerilla chieftian of the Cuban army,
died last week zii Havana. Although '
of Spanish extraction General Gomez !
cast hjMot with the struggling pa^w^-triots
and finally became commanderin-chief
of the insurrectionary forces.
In recognition of his distinguished
services the Cuban government voted
him $50,000 m 1903, on the G7th
birthday of the gallant old veteran.
Although the next primary elect
tion is over a year ahead certain candidates
for State offices have already
been announced. While of course
the announcing has invariablv been :
. *
doue by tneir friends, it is mighty
^ unfortunate to haw such fool '
"friends." The j>eople are entitled j
to a rest from politics this off year, j
and if some politicians don't look j
out they will find that a premature :
boom is worse than none at all. *

Some months ago, we believe, au <
ordinance was passed by our honorable
town council making vagrancy
amisdemeanor punishable by fine
or imprisonment. Are there no va- 5
*
-grants in Kingstree? If not, we
wonder what suggested the enacting !
of such an ordinance. We have 1
never heard of a single case of pun- 1
Se 1
ishment for vagrancy, hence we must
conclude either that the ordinance :
had a wholesome deterrent effect and
the vagrants have mended theii '
ways or departed hence, or that they 1
are "still in our midst'' and the law '<
is inoperative. Which of the two :
hypotheses is correct?
The exploits of the knights of
olden time have been fittingly celebrated
iu soug and story and we of- .
ten hear it lamented that the age of I
chivalry is past. We doubt whether 1
there is just cause for such repining.
While the lance and coat of mail, 1
and mayhap the spirit of adventure, I

are lacking in the nineteenth century |.

xlieu the Observer was opened this
nori ing and the aniiouiiceinwut was |s
ead of the issuing, on yesterday, of' !
muriage liceuse to Mr C W Krvin ffi
iiul Miss GessnerCarson. This sur- ^
prise was still further accentuated. j?,
when, a little later, the announce* jia
nient was made thai the marriage
would take place to-day at 10:30 ^
/clock, at the home of Dr Shearer,!
' a i
where Miss (.'arson, who is his ni0ce,
lias been living for some years. jNo j
me in the community imagined .that
die young couple were taking lijfe so
seriously, though it was notei) that ^
;hey were spending a great many Jlt'
lours in happy contentment in each
ither's presence, but matrimony pre-'
amiably was in the dim future and in;
lot for to-day. But Cupid willed ide
ithei wise, and favoring fortune, in at
;he person of Dr Shearer, the devot- A1
*d uncle of the bride-elect, offered in<
10 obstacles, and the nuptials have, Or

Dr A T Graham officiating.
The happy couple left on the D
Winston train for Mt Airy, where i
die groom has work for the summer. gt
[n the fall he will enter Columbia on
Seminary as a candidate for the ^
ministry, and his bride will make
her home, foi most of the winter, tj1(
liere with Dr Shearer, as before. ^
Mr Ervin graduated last week from j
Davidson with the A B degree. He

when on formal occasions,prophecies, tQ
predictions and the like were to be ^
made. qq
The bride is an at tractive young . .
women, literally the idol of Dr ^
Shearer's advancing years, and as
dutiful in her love and attention to
him as any child ever was to a parent.
The best wishes of young and rp(
old go with these young people as q?
they start out for new scenes, with wy
bright hopes and dreams of uninter- ,
W tio
rupted happiness and delight this j
glorious summer day in June. May yj
the beauty that mantles the face of p
nature be symbolic of their married ^r<
life, may the long hours of this
lengthening day be prophetic of the g
length of their marriage years, and ,
nuiy the heat that radiate? in the
summer air be typical of the warmth
tnd intensity of fheir abiding affection
one for the other.?Davidson 1
