Auld-Stunsill. Mr. Eugene Stnnslll, of this city, and Miss Hattle Auld. of Eastover. were, m.mifd at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Auld, the bride's pare; t in Eastover. Rev. R. S. Oillesple, OnY elating. The ceremony was perform? ed on the porch, the bride and vr nun standing beneath a large W<-ti? ding bell. The only attendants were the Dame of Honor, Mrs. Hyman, of Camden, and the best man, Mr. J. E. King, of Sumter. The porch, where the ceremony was jerformed and the halls and dining room and parlota were beautifully end artistically decorated with smllax and fern and were in harmony with the happy occasion and the fresh and tender greenery of the spring foliage and flowers with which all out of doors was adorned by natures own hands. When the first notes of the Wed? ding March, which was played by Miss Sadie Seay on the piano and Miss Helen Tillinghast, on the violin, were sounded the bride accompanied by the Dame of Honor slowly descended the smilix-clad and . fern-embowered stairway, meeting groom and best man beneath the wedding bell on the porch. The simple, solemn cere? mony was soon over ond then came the congratulations of the many friends of the happy couple who wars present. Following the ceremony o reception was held from 3:30 to 5 All of the wadding party accompanied the bride and groom to the depot and bade them adieu amid a show? er of rice and good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. Stanslll arrived in this city on the 6:05 train last evening and were welcomed by a number of their friends. Among those who attended the marriage from Sumter were Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Stanslll. Mrs. Jessie Turn er. Miss Irene Smith. Mr. and Mrs. J Q. R. Wilder, Mr. J. Blandlng Durant. Misses Marie and Luclle DeLorme. Mr. R. M. hooper. There were a large number present, also, from Co lumbla and other places as well as from the Immediate vicinity of East over. League Up In the Air.. The meeting for the organization of the State League, which was called to be held at this place Friday night, amounted to a failure, only Chester and Rock Hill being lepresented. This means that there will be no State League this season, and it is presumed, In order to let the players who were employed by the different teams* in the league last year, secure places for this season, they will be released at once. In other words, as we understand It, they cannot be held any longer and are now at liberty to sign with whom they see fit. Now as the State League has fallen through, as there is a good park here wonder if some arrangements could be not be made to have some of the ;rumei of the South Atlantic and Car? olina Association played on the local diamond? If such an arrangement can be made It will give the people of this city a chance to see some good games and also we believe it will be a paying proposition to the teams to come here occasionally, because of Rock Hill being located as it In there would be large crowds from all the surrounding towns to see the games, especially the "big leagues." Sumter Defeats llishopvllle. The ball teams of the Sumter High School and the Blshopville High Si'h .'ii met at the Ball Park Fri? day afternoon and the result was an Interesting, but not what could be Justly characterized as a scientific ex? hibition of ball playing. There was lots oi slugging and two base hits S/gfa plentiful, the advnntage being decidedly with the home team, except In the sixth and seventh innings when the Blshopville Latterg got on to Smith's curves and hatted out 0 run; 'liven was sent In to relieve Smith at the critical stage and he succeed? ed In holding the IMshopville batters down to a faW hits until the ond of lt. gABst, Smith pitched a line gam. for tlve innings and the visitors could not hit him for safeties.

The Court of General Sessions ad JourtlOd Thursday afternoon and i Judge Gary went to his home in Co? lumbia to remain until Monday. The Sumter Light Infantry will re? ceive $150 this year from the County of Sumter, an act having been passed by the legislature at its last session directing the County Board of Com? missioners to pay that amount to the company. The same act directed the board to pay $500 to the Sumter County Anti-Tuberculosis Association. The macadam on Main street, in the business section, Is deteriorating i so rapidly that something will have to be done in the near future to improve its condition. Instead of being the best and most sightly street in town, as the chief thoroughfare should he. Main street is Just about the worst. Main street will have to be paved within the next year or two, if it takes a bond issue to do it. We may us well make up our minds to the fact, for it is inevitable. May 1st is dog muzzling day and it 1 is to be hoped that the dogs of high And low degree that now infest the , streets will go Into retirement for the tuntmsr months. The only defect in the dog law is that it is not effective throughout the year. It i-rtainly keeps a majority of the dogs off the streets and that is its object. The muzzling of the few dogs that run at laige during the muzzling sea ; >n is a matter of minor importance. A five room house on West Liberty street, near Salem Ave., was burned on Sunday. The house was own? ed by Mr. W. M. DeLorme and oc? cupied by negroes. The house was a total loss, but was insured for $500. The tenants saved the greater part of their furniture and effects. NEGRO STRUCK BY TRAIN. Awaited Fatal Blow Silting on Rail? road Track. Lamar, April 11.?Northbound pas? senger train No. 68 ran over a negro his morning between St. Charles and Elliott. The negro, who gave his name as Robt. Williams, was brought on to Umar, where he received medical at? tention of Drs. r^arker, Watson and 'arnell. He was in a dying condition A hen brought here and died in a' out 10 minutes. The engineer on the train said that the negro was sitting on the track with two other negroes who ran at the approach of the train. A quart of whiskey was found in lie <lerd man's pocket, and it is sup? posed he was drunk. Coroner Par ?ell from Darlington arrived this af </noon but decided he had no au .hority to hold inquest, and the negro ii.; carried ba/*k to Lee County on j the afternoon train. EASTER SERVICES. Congregation of Church of Holy Com? forter Woi-ship in Xe-.v Church for First Time. The Kaster services in the Church Of the Holy Comforter wer? particu? larly interesting in that the congrega? tion worshipped for the first time in the new church for which they have been working for many years. A large congregation was present, the church, Which will seat about four hundred, being filled to its limit. The Easter decorations of Mowers, vines and palms were unusually elaborate and beautiful and lent an added beau? ty to the church, which is one of the most artistic and beautiful, from an architectural point of view, in the diocese. There are, of course, a num? ber of larger and more imposing and costlier edifices in the State, but none excel it in beauty of design and pro? tection of detail. The fine new pipe organ added much to the beauty of the special Easter music, which was sung by the full vested choir, which will hereafter be a regular feature of the service in this cwurch. The sermon by the Rector, He v. H. H. Covington, was appropriate to the occasion, the subject being the his? torical proof of the resurrection. The sermon was an eloquent, earnest and forcible presentation of the subject that made a deep impre ssion and held ?.he undivided attention of the large congregation. The Easter services in the Catholb and Methodist churches were also at? tended by large congregations. Specla musical programmes were rendered as a part of services in each of these churches and the decorations were beautiful and app opriate. ANOTHER MANUFACTURING EN? TERPRISE. Mr. Murray Griffin Will Manufacture Wheelbarrows, Trucks, Plow Han? dles, Etc. Sumter is to have another impor? tant manufacturing enterprise of a kind which will prove that this is the place for diversified manufacturing. Mr. Murray Griffin has completed ar? rangements with Kennedy Brothers for space and power at their wood? working factory on East Liberty street, where Mr. Griffin will manu? facture wheelbarrows, warehouse trucks, plow handles and beams, wag? on tongues and coupling poles, swin? gle trees, step ladders, and other wooden ware from hard woods to be obtained in this vicinity. Mr. Griffin has already had his machinery ship? ped and will begin operations in a short time. Kennedy Brothers have already built the extension to their wood? working plant In which oak ma? terials, desks, office furniture, cabinet a The most hlg of baking po\ in almost evei its sales all o wonderful pc work, and other hard wood furniture will be made. These two establishments are of more than passing interest and impor? tance to Sumter and surounding coun? try, inasmuch as it has been realized that the thousands of acres of wood lands and swamps of Sumter and ad? joining counties contain almost in? exhaustible supplies of valuable hard woods which may be profitably made up into many kinds of necessary ar? ticles which are now brought into South Carolina from other States. An Easter Hymn. The sur has come again and fed The lily's lamp with light, And raised from dust a rose, rich red, And i little star-flower, white; He also guards the Pleiades And nolds his planets true; But we?we know not which of these The easier task to do. Put since from heaven He stoops to breathe A flower to balmy air, I Surely our lives are not beneath The kindness of his care; And, as He guides the blade that groupes Up from the barren sod, So, from the ashes of our hopes. Will beauty grow toward God. Whate'er thy name, O soul of life,? We know but that thou art,? Thou seest, through all our waste of strife, One groping human heart. Weary of words and broken sight, Put moved with deep accord To worship wlK.e thy lilies light The altar of its Lord. ?John Charles McNeill. TEXAS LIQUOR BILL P VSSED.
