I iSTOot^rS Mui ^ J MORE^DEyELOPMENTsT: IN PHELPS CASE., \ WIFE NO. 1 ARRIVES ON THE i SCENE-VARIOUS RUMORS AFLOAT. i i J < Since last week there1 have been ; j several interesting developments in Ie case of A W Phelps and it isi nted that there may yet be forth-1 ^ ming some disclosures more or! js sensational. This much is;, rtainly true: That there is I ler Mrs Phelps and that no . 3edings for divorce had been I tuted. ? 1 , m Sundav night Mrs Phelps f o' " ( rrived here from Greensboro, X and registered at the Kellah Ho^el. She states that having i no intimation' or warning of what was to take place, she was ^ shocked at the news of her hus- ( band's''marriage." At first, she } said, she intended to have no further communication with him, ^ 1 but when she learned later that!, i ^ lav ill and friendless! II UOWMUvi --- ? ^ ! at a hotel, forsaken by the woman ] who had displaced his lawful wife, j her womanly instinct told her that her place was at his side, since in 1 her marriage vows she had solemn- j / Iy promised to "forsake all others j and cleave unto him." Mrs Phelps , produced undoubted evidence that , she and Mr Phelps ?had been legally married in Forsythe county, Ga, twelve years ago. She is a refined- 1 " looking, comely little woman, ap[ parently about 35 years of age, and t seems to f *el keenly the unpleasant 1 I ~ FOE I - -H " rp 1 ^ ^ Hf i 7^^ Big- shipment just r J . the newest stvles.

Meantime Mr Phelps' condition is: practically unchanged. Confined toj lis bed with one/ side paralyzed, he j s totally helpless and seems to be j improving but slowly. As ionp as hej is in this condition his wife says that she deems it her duty to minister to ; lis comfort. j! Sheri ft' Graham has recently re- j! ?eived letters from . parties atll Glreensboro, the home of Mrs Phelps, j ' A-ho speak of her as a very estimable;' lady. This side of the case is pathetic1 indeed and one cannot but sym- j1 pathize with the wronped wife who 1 s thus called upon to hear the bur- j 1 ien of her husband's folly and j misdoing. A Delightful Dance. On last Friday evening Mesdam^s W G Gamble and W N Jacobs,teachers of the dancing school, gave their jupils and the*friends of the school i most delightful ">iw, which v^s greatly enjoyed by a large number ! >f the young people of the town and ! juite a number of the older vota-; -ies of the "poetry of motion." j Punch, crackers and several kinds of j ;ake were served during the even- J ng.

V Protests Against Improving an Obsolete Highway. Editor County Record.? A substantial new bridge at Black Mingo, with its new rolling draw, j will be opened to the public in a day {or two. The architect, Mr J J Erd- j dy, had a serious set-back by a spell, of typhoid fever, and the 24-mile, Haul of all the bridge timbers from the Brown Brothers' mill was anoth-! N I er hard job. But first-class long- i straw pine will soon be among the i things of the past and green pine I poles will have to do for bridge j posts. ^ But a more important matter still j is the condition of the old stage road for about fiv? miles from Poplar Hill to Rome, along the same old zig-zag Indian trails, up and down the sand hills and along the sknd beds, used by the first settlers and still adhered to by people who claim to be civilized, when only about half a mile away lies a pine level through , which a fine straight road can be made, and which some have advocated for years. And now I hear it rumored that these same fearful sand-beds are to be clayed. No! no! Mr Editor, I protest?make a new ( road. I consulted an expert road- ( builder, the proficient Georgetown county supervisor, Mr Johnson, and he agrees that it is easier to make a ' ? ? ? 1 1 new roaa tnrougn me pine leve; than to haul sufficient clay on the present one.
