Motte, i for twenty years rector of this cbuch, re I turned, Hfter an absence of five years, to per : form the martiale ceremony Daylight was I excluded, and the light from the many lamps j threw imo soft shadow the wealth of Mowers 1 and ferns massed about trie reading and ; praver desks, and the seven wax candies lighted ou the ?liar threw out th- exquisite ir-icery of bloom upon it while the perfume of flowers was like u'racr notes l?> 'hf sw?*et music which sounded softly throusJi ?i-e soierun ceremony. The stirring notes of the weddtt't: nar^h announced the arrivai of the pHdai part?. The usheis, Mr. Henry Har-; ral! and Mr. Moreen Duvall, j-., fir-n matcned : up the aisle to i;s music, taking their places ! ai the left of the altar: then followed the ! Rev. Mr. Haxzell and Dr. T. A Waddiil, ' the brother of the bride They stood in ?he center, and Miss Waddiil with lier maid of honor, Miss Beth Duval!, came next, she ! stepping to the right, leaving Miss Waddiil at Mr. Hartzell's left, near her brother, who I gave her away, ?od after they had plighted j the'r troth the solemn words were spoken which made them "man and wife Then, kneeling >?t the chancel rail, they received the blessing ; and prayer, like incense, filled the holy place. The Lord's Prayer and Amens were chanted by the choir. The ??ride wore tull "traveling dress, a tiny ! plaid in trio shades of pearl} gray, with dainty hat to match.

Gold, silver, cut-glass, china, bric-a-brac, each had place in many forms, besides dainty hindi-: work by woman's deft fingers. Sumter. ; where Miss Waddiil has taught in the Graded School for thre past five years, was largely 1 represented in tbe display of beautiful and costly gifis. showing by these -ind other | tokeas the love and respect which its people bear ber. So she goes to her new life with ; many blessings What bas this new life in store for each? To ail, looking towards the cloded gate.?, a j rim of light shines, and while the soft 1 i tr h t of hope irradiates the mistiness, love stretches j out a guiding hand. Yet all beyond is un- ; certain along the pathway, which stretches j out ioto the unknown, bm When love's the mystic link that binds, j The goldeo chaio but closer twioes Its meshes 'round, until two grow To one-united evermore! DEATH. The eleven rnomb3 old daughter of Mr. J. ; R. Durant, of Bishopville died Monday ; after a brief illness.

His funeral took place at the Home i Branch Church Saturday -Manning Times. -?*? ?>??? - mm - 1. M. C. A. The Y. M. C.

The liquor was : consigned to Sam Lewentntl, of Darlington, ! who is reported to keep a blind tiger. There j was a keg of beer at the depot also, butas; this was also consigned to parties in Dar- j lington who could not bi suspected of selling i liquor, it was not interfered with. State Detective, C. L.Jenkins, who passed ! through the city Monday, stated that he j raided the place of Sam Leweothal, of Dar- j liogton on Friday night and seized a quanti- j 1 ty of liquor. Le went bal and his clerks hare ? been indicted on three distinct counts and will be tried at the next term of the Sessions Court. Lewenthal has waived a preliminary. The injunction proceedings against him ar" ! now pending. Therefore it appears that Constable Brown ; had good grounds for seizing the liquor con? signed to Lewenthal. as there is a well found ed suspicion that he did not want the. liquor ? for private consumption. A representative of Sam Lewenthal was , in town Monday night and endeavored to in? duce the constaole to deliver the liquor 'J him. lt was claimed thai the liquor was for , private consumption and that it was not lia- . ble to seizure. Constable Brown reused to , relinquish the liquor, and Lewenthal will ( :iave an opportunity of making a case against !>rown for unlawfully seizing the liquor. Fhe Constable believes that he is in no danger ? jf arrest and imprisonment, as Lewenthal is , ander indictment for selling liquor contrary '0 law. Don't fail to read Walsh & Shaw's adver? tisement, and also to act upon the suggestion j herein contained. I ? i THE SUT**TER MANUFACTUR? ING COMPANY. The meeting of' the inscribers to the stock of the Sumter Manufacturing Company was held in the V. M. C. A. H .? i I Thursday afternoon, pursuant io the call of the smb . script ion con mit tee, with a full attend? ance. Dr. John 8 Hughson was called to the chair and Mr. I) W. Cuttino requested to ad as secretarv. Mr W. M Grabara stated the object of the tiiee'itig, and reported for the souscription committee that 771 of the proposed 1.000 shaje-: had c.pe:: subscribed for by the peo ? :>!e of Suinter H?* Ctn ted ?iso that it WHS the desire of the subscription committee ?hat ? committee be appointed to collect dues, commencing on July ls!, and that the committee would recommend that owin<r to the onliness of the time.? that it would he advisable to collect fifty cents per shirr in July and August and commence on Septem her Nt ?o collect Si per share. Maj Marion Moise made a talk urging the necessity of pushing the enterprise at once and getting it es'abli>hed as soon as possible. He dwelt forcibly upon the direct benefits the community H: larsre would derive from the operation of the factory as soon as work WHS commenced, ?nd emphasized the fact that it would be this hrnefit, trVs infusion of new life into the business of the city that would be most valuable. It was expected that the factory would pay the stockholders handsomely, bul the d vidends that would he received would be but a small portion of the returns the city and the business men of the city would receive from the building of a fully equipped modern factory. The Sumter Manufacturing Company is now on an excellent basis, and there is no longer any doubt ?bout building the factory. With the amount of stock already subscribed for there will t-e no difficulty in going abend with the work, and, as soon as a sufficient amount of money has accumulated from the mo thlv collection of Si per share, the work of erecting the factory will be commenced Sumter is to be congratulated that she has af last taken a position in the march of indus? trial progress that is sweeping over South Carolina, notwithstanding the financial de? pression. When once the spirit of progress is aroused in Sumter she wi 1 rapidly take a place with the first. The following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved. That the following gentlemen serve as the Board of Corporaiors ; W. M. Graham, Neil O'Donnell, J. F. Laughrey. Abe Ryttenherg and J A. Mood.

That this committee collect first instalment of 50 cents per share and then Cill another meet? ing. THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTER. Prospects For "Unbottling" Sum? ter-We'll Get There After Awhile. SUMTER, S C . June 25, 1S95. Mr. Editor : I take the liberty of sending yo;: for publication, though not so intended, the enclosed letter just received. It will ex? plain itself and will certainlv prove of interest to our city and county. ? feel satisfied that :he capitalists now having control of thf Ohio River and Charleston R. R. (the old 3 C's) have both the means and the will to push th? road steadily on through the Alleghany and Cumberland Mountains to the Ohio River. It is not, however, yet certain that the exten? sion Southward from Camden will be to or through Sumter. This will depend some? what on the interest manifested in this link, by our city and the people along the line. Two routes have already been surveyed of about ihe same length and grades. Which, if either, will be adopted, will depend mainly, of course, upon the report of the engineer, a3 to cost, &c; but the inducements which shall be offered by ?he people along the route will necessarily be taken into consideration in determining the one to be run. When the directors meet matters will he made more definite, and any further information which I may receive will be communicated to the public, so that practical action may tie taken. It is my highest hope, almost hereditary, to see my narrow gau^e bantling evolutpd into a broad gavtge from the Ohio to the Atlantic through Sumter. Yours, &c J. I). BLANDING. CINCINNATI, O., June 4, 1895. Col. J. D. Blanding, Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir : I have delayed reply to your letter until I could make known to our owners the disposition of the Government of South Carolina toward our property, mani? fested in the assessment pat upon it for the purpose of taxation. I met these gentlemen in Columbia on the day set apart for hearing and. much to my gratification, the Board made our assessment $5.000 00 per mile, instead of $7,000.00 as . maintained last year. I have always felt that until ibis matter wa3 settled that it was out of the question to consider the building of any more road to be taxed in like unjust manner. As, however, it has been settled, and a very evident desire exists to give us fair treatment, I think we are perfectly safe in taking up the matter of the Sumter exten? sion. I cannot give you any official answer to your communication in regard to what Sum? ter proposes to do until after a consultation | with our Board of Directors, which wiil be j held in the nenr future, and I simply write i this to you to keep you advised and to assure you that I believe the road can be built within the next few months, if the people along the line will do their part. What we consider their part I can speak more definiely upon after the meeting referred to, and I beg that you will understand that neither I nor our people are disposed to ask mipossibiliries. or to endeavor to get some? thing for nothing. We have no desire to take from the people r>f South Corolina without returning to them : it; ful! value. Yours truly, SAM'L HUNT, President. A Graceful Tribute.

TEACHERS ELECTED The Schools are Kow Prepared to Begin Work Next Fall. The Board nf Schoo! Commissioners met in the city council chamber Friday evening and proceeded to elect the teachers for both the white :<nd colored school?. MT 1). L Rambo, who has been principal of the Wedgefield School during the past ?ear and who occupied the S'inie position for severn! years prior to 189.'!-94 was elected first assistant. The elec ion ol Mr. Rambo i was due wholly to the excellent work he has ; done in Wedgefield and the high recomtnen- ! dations mat were laid before the bo'.rd, both ns respecting his ability as a teacher and Ins persona! character. j The lady teachers were elected HS follows: Missies Mary H. Girardeau, Janie Mikel!, j Beth Duvail, Lilah Tal.ey, Eloise Wilson, j Kat?- Muses and Essie Dick. The teachers who served in the Lincoln School during the past session were re- ! elected.

Miss Eloise Wilson, who returns to the; school after a year's absence, which was , spent in Dawson, Ga , where she was prin- ; cipa! of the primary deportment of the Graded Schools, needs no introduction. The school is a gainer by her return, for she is without question one of the most efficient and capable teachers that nave served in the school Miss Essie Die'; has had several years experience in teaching and is * graduate of the Winthrop Normal College. The past year she taught in the Rock Hill Graded School, where she gavethtough Satisfaction. Miss Kate Moses has not had extensive expe? rience in teaching, but is well acquainted with thc Graded School work, havir.g served as supply teacher for two years. Theother teachers have taught for several years in the school. Superintendent Edmunds is already devel? oping his plans for the next year's work, and it is his intention to spare no effort to bring the scboois up to the highest state of effi? ciency. He ha3 in contemplation several changes and additions to the course of study that will raise the standard and be a decided advance in the right direction. Two changes har? been fully decided upon, to add ibe study ot Greek to the course in the Tenth Grade and to begin the 3tudy of Latin in the Seventh Grade instead of in the Eighth Grade as heretofore.
