murder. Seventeen were confined
in the State penitentiary, thirteen
were on various chaingangs throughout
the Stace.two were out, one on
parole and the other was pardoned
to restore his citizenship. Among the

polled 6,156,748 votes; Rooseuelt.3,928,140;
Taft, 3,376,422. The

at 900,000. In 1908 Bryan's vote
was 6,393,182 and that of Taft 7,637,676.
Flagged Train With Shirt.
Tearing his shirt from his back an
Ohio man flagged a train and saved
it from a wreck, but H T Alston,
Raleigh, N C, once prevented a
wreck with Electric Bitters. "Iwas
in a terrible plight when I began to
use them," he writes, "my stomach,
head, back and kidneys were all badly
affected and my liver was in bad
condition, but four bottles of Electric
bitters made me feel like a new
man." A trial will convince you of
their matchless merit for any stomach,
liver or kidney trouble. Price

Lake City, November 21:?All
Lake City and a good many people
from other towns turned out last
evening to show their interest in the
celebration of the marriage of Miss
Ruth Alice Williams, of this town,
to Mr Edward Duncan Sallenger of
Florence, which was celebrated at
the Methodist church. Had the
church been twice its. size, it could
not have accommodated with seats
the large crowd of guests who assembled
there to witness the very pretty
ceremony.
Miss Williams was the most

daughters of that town, the only
daughter of Dr A H Williams, a
prominent banker and merchant
and former Senator from Williamsburg
county. Mr Sallenger is now
the business manager of the Daily
Times and was for years the representative
of the News and Courier
in this section of the State. He is
popular and widely known and is now
one of the leading business men in
eastern Carolina.
The wedding was called, in the
language of society, a "gold chrysanthemum
wedding." The color
scheme was white and gold; the
church was dressed in these colors,
the chancel being dressed in white,
with trailing vines of green, lighted
* f 31 1
with dozens 01 wax canaies anu ornamented
with great yellow chrysanthemums,
like jewels in their settings.
Down each aisle were arches
of white and green vines and the
prevailing flower.
The bridesmaids carried bouquets
of magnificent yellow chrysanthemums.
The bridal party consisted of Mr
E S Boney.of the News and Courier,
best man, and Miss Mamie Green,of
Lake City, maid of honor.
The couples in their order of entrance
were:
Miss Annie Pryor, of Chester,with
Mr Marion Lucas, of Florence.
Miss Mamie Frasier, of Columbia,
with Mr Ashton Williams, the bro
ther of the bride.
Miss Elise Bates, of Batesburg,
with Mr Eugene S Oliver, of Flor-,
ence.
Miss Addie Rollins, of Lake City,
with Mr William A Livingston, of
Charleston.
Master Rollins Epps was the little
ring bearer.
The flower girls were little Misses
Sadie McElveen and Ethel Epps.
The ribbon girls were little Misses
Roberta Hazleton, Kathleen Nesmith,
Marguerite Rickenbaker and
Julia Brooks Nesmith.
The ushers were Mr Chas Green,
Mr J C Williams and Dr C D Rollins,
of Lake City, and Mr Mason C

The pretty ceremony was adapted
from' the old English church and
was performed by Rev C C Derrick,
the pastor of the bride and her family.
A very delightful reception had
been held at the home of the bride
the preceding evening.and last night
there was a most" delightful dance
at the new hotel, the Halcyon,where
the guests of the occasion had found
very charming quarters. * This was
one of the events of the season in
the town.

Common Pleas Court,.
The fall term of the court! of com-' ,
mon pleas for Williamsburg county,
which convened here on Monday,
proved to be a fizzle, inasmuch as
there was business enough on tbe
docket to keep the court in session
for at least one week. In fact, attorneys
of the local bar iad gotten
together and prepared a roster of
the cases on the calendar in the order
that they were to be brought
before the coyrt. There were in all
sixteen cases. The roster scheduled*

The venire of 36 jtirymen from
all sections of the county were on
hand and answered to their names
at roll call. Some eighteen or twenty
witnesses had been subpoened and
were ready for service. Judge T H
Spain was on hand as was also Court
Stenographer L E Wood. When
the Judge ascended the bench and
began calling the cases, he discovered
that not one was ready for trial?
that is, the attorneys on one side or
the other had some excuse to offer,
and after considerable arguing
and pleading for postponement,
about 2 o'clock Judge Spain announced
that he would not postpone
proceedings until Wednesday, as the
expense to the county would be too
great. Then he discharged the jury
and adjourned the session xi"e die
at 4 p. m., after having confirmed a
few sales and attended to other
minor duties. ^
Isador Raynor, one of the leading
Democratic members of the United
