FORTY YEARS FOR ASSAULT.
Serious Case From Andrews Heard Without
Excitement.
Georgetown, June 26:?Stephen
Bellamy, the negro charged with:
criminal assault upon a white woman,
near the city of Andrews, in this
county, a few weeks ago, was adjudged
guilty by a jury Saturday, and
upon recommendation for mercy the
court affixed the penalty at forty
years' imprisonment. As the negro
is about forty-five years of age, this
practically means a life sentence.
The case was called Friday morning,
and was coneiuaea, except me argument,
that night. This morning the
lawyers were heard,and the jury,after
being out a short time, broughtin
its verdict. The law permitted a sentence
of from five to forty years and
the judge affixed the maximum.
The crime of which he was found
guilty was committed on a Friday
night. It was not reported until Saturday
night, when the mutterings
became loud, and but for the quick
action of the sheriff of Georgetown
county, a lynching would have oci
n n 1 Ll 4 ? 4-U/-.
currea. rseuamy was uruuKm, uu wc
jail here and it was learned was to
& carried to Columbia to await trial.
All the roads leading direct to Columbia
were watched during Sunday
following the commission of the crime
but Sheriff Ward took his prisoner to
Charleston, thence by rail to Columbia.
The sentence seems to give satisfaction
and the incident is closed.
McCotchen-Welch Wedding.
One of the prettiest weddings of
the season, characterized by charming
simplicity, was solemized last
Tuesday evening, June 19, when
Miss Annie McCutchen and Mr H
Olin Welch were united in marriage,
Rev G T Harmon, pastor of the
Kingstree naetnoaiai cnurcn, oiuciating.
The country home of the bride's
stepmother, Mrs Julia A McCutchen,
was the scene of the wedding.
The parlor and reception halls were
beautifully decorated for the ocsion.
Mrs E C Burgess and Miss Retha
Burgess received the guests.
Preceding the ceremony,which began
at 8:30 o'clock, Miss Eleanor
Kolb of Sumter, accompanied by
Miss Olive Benton of Kingstree,
sang very sweetly, "Beleave me if
all those endearing young charms."
Immediately after this, to the famil
iar strains of Lohengrin's wedding
march rendered by Miss Olive Benton,
Miss Idonia McCutchen, a sister
of the bride, entered as maide of
honor, wearing a pretty dres3 of
white organdie with pink sash, carrying
a bouquet of pink carnations.
Next came the ring bearer, little
Delma Burgess. The bride and *
groom entered together and took J
their place under a huge horse shoe
of smilax, pink roses and candles. !
The bride wore a most becoming '
suit of sand cloth, and flesh georgette
blouse with shoes and gloves to '
match and her hat was of georgette, ^
trimmed with tints of flesh and ap
plique pansies. She carried a show- 1
er bouquet of white carnations. Im- '
mediately after the ceremony the
guests enjoyed the cutting of the 1
bride's cake, and the result was as
follows: Mr W B Logan got the
thimble, Miss Olive Benton the
ring, Mr Mott McGill the penny, 1
Mrs Thos McCutchen the dime, and '
Miss Louise McCutchen the button.
The guests were then invited into (
the dining room where an elegant
and beautiful supper was served '
banquet style. The color scheme of '
pink and white was carrried out in '
full, the last service being pink
and white cream and cake. ^
A collection of many hsndsome
and useful gifts were displayed.
The bride is one of the prettiest 1
and most charming of Kingstree's '
young women. The groom is a :
popular young man and holds the
position of secretary and treasurer
of the Williamsburg Live Stock Co.
During the evening Mr and Mrs
Welch motored to Kingstree. where,
for the present, they will board at
Mrs M S Montgomery on Railroad
avenue.

F. H. HODGE,
A wave of apprehension has spread
over the feminine population of Atlanta
for fear the war may enforce !
economy in face powder. It is urged
that a very large quantity of rice is
used in the manufacture of face
powder, and that this rice should be
saved for food.
