Phelps-Bultman
I Beautiful Wedding at the Home
of Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
. Phelps .
There has never been a more beau
| tiful wedding ever solemnized in
Sumter than the one that took place
! last evening at the magnificent home
I of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Phelps, on
i Washington street, when their young
j est and very attractive daughter,
[ Dorcthy was given in marriage to
?Mr. Deuward F. G Bultman. The im
; pressive ceremony that united the
young couple was performed by Dr.
Ferdinand Hirsch. Only members of
the families of the two contracting
parties were present."
The home, while not elaborately,
was very tastefully decorated for the
occasion with cut flowers and potted
plants. The large reception hall, the '
rear hall, and the dining room had j
the appearance of the most artistic i
arrangement, and the reception hall j
was decorated in. a manner especially j
fitting for the beautiful ceremony j
that later took place. j
Miss Ethel Green, at the piano, fur- j
nished the only music for the wed- J
ding ceremony, playing the wedding,
march for the entrance of the bridal j
party, and appropriate selections dur-!
ing th?* ceremony.
Mrs. K. C. Williams, the first mem- I
ber of the bridal party, was very hand
some in her wedding dress of white
satin with long court train of brocad
ed satin, trimmings of real lace and
maline. She carried an armful of
Russell roses
Next came the mother of the bride, !
Mrs. A. C. Phelps, in a wonderful j
gown of black panne velvet entrain, i
with trimmings of jet sequins and ma- j
line. The large bouquet of Russell !
roses which she carried gave color to I
the beautiful costume. Miss Con-'
stance Bultman, sister of the groom
and maid of honor, was very stately;
in a lovely debutante's dress of sun- ;
set taffeta, trimmed in quillings and i
carrying an armful of sweetheart
buds and ferns.
Then came the bride on the arm of
her father. Mr. A. C. Phelps. She was
a vision of girlish loveliness :in her j
wedding gown of ivory satin with !
long court train. Her dress was hand- ,
somely trimmed in seed pearls and j
real lae>> with paniers of silk maline. j
Her veil was fashined coronet style J
with bandeau of orange blossoms.]
wh;ch enveloped her petite form and j
fell to the ends of her train. She j
wore a handsome diamond pin, the.
gift of the groom.
After the ceremony and having re
ceived the congratulations and good j
wishes of all the company, the bridal j
party and guests repaired to the din- j
ing room for refreshments. The table j
was covered with a handsome cover of
cut work and real filet and point .ve-j
nise lace brought from Paris. Scat-1
I fered over this were pink and white
j rose leaves. The center piece was a
j tall basket of white bride's roses
land fern tied with huge bunch
j es of embroidered maline. Very
i delightful refreshments including a
! salad course were served,
j During this time the bride and
! groom disappeared from the gather
ing, and went by automobile to Flor
! ence where they boarded a south
bound train for their honeymoon. The
\ bride was attired in a very striking
traveling suit of dark blue, peach
bloom with gold and black hat and
fur of silver fox. After refreshments
were served, the rugs in the spacious
reception hall were thrown back, and
ih guests enjoyed a delightful dance
until about midnight, the music be
ing furnished by Prof Girard's Or
chestra.
The' out-of-town guests were Mrs.
T?. B. Neal, of Savannah: Mrs. (Maude
Melver. of Greensboro. X. C: Miss
Jessie Walker, of Plainfield. N*. J.;
Mrs. J. A. Weinberg, of Manning; Mr.

BIG GOVERN
MENT JOB
Washington. So. 4.?Much of the
humor and some of tneNtragedy of the
war are poured daily into the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance, which has
the enormous task of administering
the insurance and allotment accounts
of all men,in the military service.
.At the first Of the month the let
ters arrive at the rate of 140.000 a
day. later falling to 40.000 or TiO.OOO.
Between 75,000 and 100.000 pieces of
mail are sent oui daily. Remittances
for insurance premiums numbered
1.20:1,792 between .July 14 and Octob
er 7. having a value of $ft,78'4,186.
Handling such a tremendous quan
tity of mail, dealing with men whose
names in scores ol instances are iden
tical necessitates th<> most punctilious
accuracy, to assure that the proper ac
count is credited. One mother who
wrote to ask about an allotment made
by her son Jim was asked to be more
specific in identifying the soldier. She
wrote back, somewhat indignant in
her motherly pride:
'?You must have noticed Jim. be
cause he's six feet tall.'
The Bureau is constantly reminding
persons with whom it has dealings to
send notification of any change in ad
dress. One person t<?ok this injunc
tion very literally.
"Dear Government," she wrote.
'This is to let you know I am staying
a while with -my folk* ..at Simpfcin.^
Falls."
Manifest willingness to obey._ the
?law and the honesty of the average
' American are portrayed in most of the '
; letters, but in none better than -
i one reply to a formal inquiry....
?whether the mother of a certain scrt
! dier who asked a government allow
| ance for her. had any support. She
, eonscientiously replied:
j "Only Fred's hens."
j The n-ail section of the Bureau has
been put on a 16-hour basis to keep
?the handling of mail strictly current.'"
j One shift works from nine to five each
j day. another coming ort at one o'clock.*
I in the morning to work until nine;
iGreat mail trucks make hourly trips,
j to the postoffice. day-and night. - ,
I Letters containing insufficient-In
[formation?and there are many of
I them?entail great trouble. They are
! turned over to index ^ searchers who
jeomb the files for other papers until.
; the case in question is beyond doubt,
j This group of employes works. from
five until midnight. -
[COAL PRODUCTION* INCREASES.
i - ? ' . ' ? . .
I Washington, Nov. g.?Information
in hands of government officials to-*
day indicated an increase in bitumin
otis c<?al production. Further defec
tion of union forces was noted in early' '
i morning reports. Hines reiterated
i that no community need fear of be
< ing cut off entirely from fuel supplies
j as long stocks are under the super
j vision of the railroad administration.
