Rapidly the following cases were dis posed of yesterday morning: Cyrus. Q.

Aber nethy, of Lincoln ton; Miss Katherlne Abernehy, "of Newton, sister of the groom, and Mips Lila Kelly, sister of the bride; Mr. Franklin M. Caldwell and Mr. Floyd Qalther. Then, as these attendants took their places along the aisle near the altar. Miss Sara Kelly, a sister of the bride, and who was the maid of honor, came forward, and then the bride herse'f. The groom, with his best man, Mr. Thomas J. Green, of Hickory, approach ed from the room at the left of the altar, met the bride and stood with her ln front of an Improvised altar banked with palms and potted plants, while the attendants formed a semi circle about as the words were spoken making the couple one. During the ceremony, Mr. D. Amati RIchardsot? played, with fine effect on the violin "The Flower Song" of Lange. The bride was handsomely gowned in white liberty satin, trimmed in duchesBe lace and carried a bouquet! or ortae roses. She wore a chain with Bill Jones, of Polk county, was given a Similar sentence for a similar cause. B. Russell and Joseph Fjwler, also of Polk, were acquitted of a charge of retailing. Lee and Christie Anthony were also adjudged not guilty as to the former and a no)-pros. as to the lat ter. Tom Yutes and P. A. Frank were Jointly Indicted and their case transfer red to Greensboro. Similarly were E. E. Turner and W. H. Ray dealt with. Peter Lane, indicted for blockading, had his esse removed to Wllkesboro. and Frank Gatton's was sent to Ststes ville. S. O. Asherbaum will be tried at Stateable. George Caldwell and George and JtcTi Story, were Jointly Indicted for Illicit distilling. A rather unusual case Is that of Mag gie Embler, of Asheville, who is indict ed for forsrtng a false affidavit and presenting it to the Commissioner of Pensions. The grand Jury made th presentment yesterday and she will be tried at Asheville. The major portion of the day was concerned with the trial of M. M. High. who Is charged with sending obscene matter through the mails. The letters were sent to Mrs. Sallle Hartls at Dur ham, the wife of Lee Hartls, who Is an inmate of the Mecklenburg county home. The peculiarity of the case Is that a formal ceremony of marriage of Mrs. Hartls and M. M. High was gone through with by 'Squire Bailes a topas pendant, which was her greatlabout two years ago, while Mrs. Hartls iJ.ll I . a . . .

The bridesmaids were gowned in white crepe de chine and carried pink carnations. After the ceremony a reception was heldat the home of the bride's parents. No 3 East First street. Bamboo, ferns and carnations made up the dec orative scheme, The happy couple, attended to the Southern depot by many friends, left for a visit to New York city. They will return to spend theChrlstmas holidays with the parents of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Abernethy, at Newton. Af ter January 1st. they will be at home at Capt. and Mrs. Kelly's. The high regard In which Mr. and Mrs. Abernethy are held prophesies a warm welcome for them Into the social life of the city, as an addition to th ranks of young married couples. Miss Kelly, the bride, has been one of the most Justly admired young women in the community. She is charming und accomplished. Mr. Abernethy, who is managing eauor or The Observer, is a young man of high Intelligence, and nne cnaracter. it seems but useless to wish for them mere happiness through life their personalities predict all that and mora. There were numerous and handsome presents from many relatives and friends, from the Western Union Tele graph Company, and various depart ments of The Observer and The Chronicle. IN THE HQTEt LOBBIES. County Commissioners W. F. Utley . and J T. Edwards, of Wake, were at the BUford last night. "We have been sent here as a committee." im thv tn look into the county government oU juocKienourg, its roads, etc., and carry back a report for the benefit of our own county. We Intend to visit Dur ham and other counties for the same purpose." While Mr. Edwards was driving over win macaaam roaas and studying the Mecklenburg system of workinsr them. concerning which he expresses himself mucn pleased. Mr. Utley spent the day about ' the Court house.1 "I found the administration of the county gov ernment here," he said "more Economi cal than that of any other county I know of. Mecklenburg ought to feel proud of her chairman, Mr. alding ton. He Is right up with his work." . . "I am from Morganton,," said Mr. I. T. Avery, "but I am not beholding to Dr. Murphy. I live cn the northern side of the railroad." "I am now having my first political experience," said Representative-elect R. L.. Ryburn, of Shelby, last night. "You ought to see how my mail has Increased since the election. I never knew before how many people there are who are office-seekers In a small way and how wide awake they are In their seeking. When I come to consid er the number of applications, recom mendations, and suggestions which each mall brings to me, I find myself wondering how must a congressman be flooded with mal.!" v ;-. One of his friends was Joking Mr. R. S. Abernethy. of Llncolnton, last night about getting married. Mr. Abernethy had been at the wedding of his cousin Mr. T. C. Abernethy. "Did It put you in the notion?" asked his friend. . ... "No," Mr, Abernethy replied; it did not. I wa alreadv . In the nntlnn " He confesses quite frankly that heJ veiieven tn ana desires to enjoy do mestio peace, and protests that heought not to be blamed for lacking that which he has done and is doing Ms best to acquire, . was still a married woman. Both she and High testify, that they were in formed and believed that Hartls whs dead, and thinking their marriage legal, had lived together until last March, when Mrs. Hartls, ' supposedly Mrs. High, left her supposed husband and went to live at Durham. The defen dant resented what he conceived to be her manner of life and wrote her sev eral letters, which even the attorney for the Jefense concede to be ob scne. The argument hinged yesterday on whether Mrs. Hartls was a competent witness, on the ground of her alleged marriage to High, and so Insistent was Mr. C. D. Bennett, counsel fo High, In the matter tliat Judge Boyd permit ted an examination, with the Jury out of the room, Into the question of com petency of the woman as a witness. Judge Boyd held that the district attor ney might Introduce evidence to show that the second marriage was void, to prove. If he could, that at the time of her union with Hlgli, the woman was married. Therefore the relation of husband and wife did not exist between the defendant and the witness, and she was competent. Col. D. G. Maxwell testified that he had known Mr. and Mrs. Hartls some years ago when they lived here. He also knew of High and Mrs. Harlis living as man and wife. Mrs. Hartls testlnedthatshe was mar ried to Hartls In 1893. In 1901 she heard from several persons that he was dead. She was Sallle Elliott. Hartls left her In 1897 and she was married to High In South Carolina in April. 1902. They lived on a farm. She Identified a mar riage certificate which was taken out at the time of the Hartls-High cere mony. High, the defendant, was put on the stand. He, too, 'identified the certifi cate and related substantially the same account of hearing of Hartls' death and belief that he was dead. Neither tried to conceal the marriage, thinking that it was all regular. She had been his house-keeper and cook for a year be fore their marriage. After the testimony. Judge Boyd gave his decision that the woman was a competent, witness, and so the Jury was recalled to hear her testimony. On direct examination she Identified the letters which she had received in the regular mails, and tihey were ln the handwriting of the defendant. Court then declared a recess until this morn ing at 1 o'clock, , when the cross-examination of Mrs. Hartls will be be gun. .,,; . v ' . BRIEFS. Minor Ilappcntngin and About tlte OtyEvrtittof a Day.
