day Afternoon.
IN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Ceremony One o! Prettiest Witnessed
Here In Years Decoratloss Very
Effective Mnilc Was Elabo
rate aad Charmlof.
One of the prettiest church wed
dings ever witnessed in Wilmington
was that in the First Baptist church at
half after five o'clock yesterday after
noon, celebrating the marriage of Miss
Norma Foster, an accomplished young
lady of Wilmington, to car. Joseph
Daniel Edwards, also of this-city. The
preesive and graceful manner by the
Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell and the
church was thronged with hundreds
of friends of the popular young people
to the marriage vow.
The church was artistically decora
ted by Rehder, the florist, and the
marriage scene was a lovely one in
deed. The altar was banked with
palms and white and pink chrysanthe
mums, while the walls of the pulpit
enclosure were draped with smllax
and other evergreens. The choir loft
was effectively decorated with palms
and smilax with an artistic arrange
ment of pink and white ribbon bows.
Back of 'the pulpit, crotons entered
very prettily into the decorations and
the lighting effects were charming.
The color scheme was pink and white
and this was carried out perfectly.
In compliment to the bride, who is
a member of the organization, the
musical numbers were by the Sr.
James' choir, supplemented by Hollow-
bush's Orchestra, with organ accom
paniment by Mr. Alf H. Yopp. Mr.
E. H. Munson directed the music, and
the wedding marches have scarcely
been excelled in the history of the
city. As the guests were assembling
the choir sung a bridal chorus from
"The Rose Maiden," with organ and
orchestra accompaniment. The bridal
party entered as the choir charmingly
rendered a bridal chorus from Lohen
grin, with same accompaniment The
exit was to the inspiring strains of
Mendelsohn's wedding march. The
choir was composed of Mrs. Cameron
MacRae, Mrs. Charles E. Taylor, Jr.,
Mrs. O. W. Bidgood, Miss Martha
Nash and Miss Carrie Maffitt, sopra
nos: Miss Belle Anderson and Miss
Annie Hart, altos; Mr. C. H. Cooper,
tenor, and Mr. A. S. Holden, bari
tone.
Promptly at the hour appointed for
the ceremony the bride and her maid
of honor, Miss Fannie Corbett, came
down the rieht centre aisle. The ush
ers. Messrs. Champ McD. Davis, W.
O. Yarborougb, . W. R. Taylor
and Joe T. King, preceded them
and came in pairs down each
centre aisle. The bride was join
ed at the altar by the groom, ac
companied by his best man, Mr. R. H.
Edwards, of Goldsboro, who came in
by the east entrance. Dr. Blackwell
impressively said the words that made
the couple man and wife. The ring
service was used.
The bride wore a handsome travel
ling suit of gray crepe de chene over
light blue taffeta with velvet picture
hat to match. Her bouquet was of
bride's roses and carnations caught
with white chiffon. The maid of honor
wore a becoming suit of handsome
blue cloth with applique trimmings
and hat to match. She carried a lovely
shower boquet of pink carnations and
ferns, caught with pink satin ribbon.
The groom and best man wore suits
of conventional black with white
boutonnieres, while the ushers were
similarly attired with boutonnieres of
pink carnations.
The bride is one of Wilmington's
most popular and talented young
ladies and is much loved and admired
in a wide circle of friends. She is a
daughter of Mrs. Mary Foster and is
widely known for her great musical
attainments. The groom, Mr. Edwards,
s the popular ticket agent of the At-A
antic Coast Line in Wilmington and
numbers his friends here and else
where by the score.
Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Edwards left on the 7 o'clock
northbound A. O. L. train for an ex
tended bridal tour, which will include
Washington, New York and other
arge cities. They will be away about
ten days and returning to the city

mother of the groom; Mrs. Will Wil
liams, of Atlanta, aunt of the groom;
Mr.. Geo. B. Edwards, of Goldsboro, a
brother, and Mr. J. R. Crawford, of

A SENSATION IN BLADEN.
White Mao and Son Thought to Have
Been Lyncbed Near Bladenboro
.The Wounded Man Here.
A sensational story of a lynching
that took place near Bladenboro, on
the Carolina Central road, 53 miles
from Wilmington, reached the city
yesterday from Eiizabethtown, the
county seat of Bladen, in which the
crime is thought to have been com
mitted. For several months there has been
a heated controversy between factions
opposing and favoring the no-fence
law recently inaugurated in Bladen,
and on Monday night Mr. H. Single-
tary, a prominent citizen, living three
miles from Bladenboro, was shot.
Suspicion pointed to ifid. Davis, a
white man living in the same vicinity,
with whom Mr. Singletary had trouble
over the no-fence law. The wounded
man was brought by Mr. J. E. Frink,
a neighbor, to the hospital in Wil
mington Tuesday at noon and yester
day Dr. W. C. Galloway was called
in by the attending surgeons and
found that the ball had penetrated Mr.
Bingletary's right eye, necessitating its
removal, which was accomplished in
a very successful operation.
A letter was received at Elizabeth
town yesterday stating that Davis'
house was broken into Tuesday night,
and wnlie everything in the rooms
was intact, Davis and his son had dis
appeared, and that it was thought they
had been lynched.
A special to the Charlotte Observer
from Fayetteville last night says that
Solicitor C. C. Lyon, who is holding
court in the latter city ihis week, re
ceived a telegram giving the news of-
the occurrence and the subsequent
supposed lynching. Further particu
lars were not obtainable here last
night.
Inquiry at the hospital last night
developed the fact that Mr. 'Singletary
Is in nowise fatally injured, and wil
recover in a short time. It is thought
that the wound was a glancing one,
as the bullet has not been located.
The injured man was surprised when
told of the supposed lynching. All
the parties concerned in the unfortu
nate affair are white.
Mr. Singletary is 42 years of age,
and is a member of one of the leading
families in his section. Many friends
will regret to know of the loss of his
eye, but are gratified to know that the
injuries will not prove of a more seri
ous nature.
MARRIED LAST EVENINQ.
Mrs. Tbarp Became the Bride of Mr
Stephen W. Aman Reception.
A very pretty wedding was cele
brated last evening at 8:30 o'clock at
Brooklyn Baptist church. The parties
to the nuptial event were Mrs. Minnie
Tharp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Izzell. of Wilmington, and Mr.
Stephen W. Aman, formerly of Onslow
county, now of this city.
The ceremony was performed in the
presence . of a number of friends by
Rev. Judson L, Vipperman, pastor of
the church, and after the service the
bridal party was entertained at a very.
nrettv reception. Mr. and Mrs. Aman
will reside in Wilmington, where they
have many friends.
Transfer of U. S. Officers.

The veterans will occupy the front
row of seats in the parquet and will

KIND WORDS FOR COAST LINE.
Editorial Expression From Charleston
News aad Courier.
The Charleston News and Courier
of yesterday in the course of an edi
torial upon the wonderful develop
ment of the Atlantic Coast Line, says
among other things :
Mr. Henry Walters, who has built
up the Atlantic Coast Line from small
beeinnings into one of tne most pow
erful railroad systems in the South,
has retired from the presidency of the
principal company and become the
Chairman of the Board of Directors of
the Greater Coast Line. The object
of this change is to relieve him in a
measure from much of the detail work
which required his attention in his
former position ; but he will con
tinue to be, as he has been from
the beginning, the controlling
force in the management of the
splendid property. Holders of the
securities of the Atlantic Coast Line
will feel entirely safe as long as Mr.
Walters is at the head of the System and
the business and travelling public will
be sure that they will have the best
possible service. No higher tribute
could be paid to this very modest man
to say that so perfect is the confidence
in his good faith and integrity that the
people believe in ine Atlantic uoast
Line because Henry Walters is at its
head.
One of the most admirable things
about the Coast Line is that it takes
care of its own people. The change
in Mr. Walter's official relations
to the System has been follow
ed by promotion all along the line.
All these officers are well equipped for
their work and have, been rewarded
for their faithful and intelligent ser
vices. The owners of the properties
included in the new system did not
think it necessary to hunt for men on
the outside they had better men at
home for the purpose of doing a
railroad business than they could
pick up in the market and they
stuck to their own home-folks. Every
ambitious man in the service of the
Atlantic Coast Line doubtless went to
bed last night with the idea in his bead
that he could be at the head of a de
partment in the railroad service some
day, and he will worK au me reiier to
day and to-morrow and all the time
because there will be a chance of pro
- ... . i 1 AA A
motion.
