Tatkins performing - the ceremony which made them man and wife, while Mrs. Warren, Dupree rendered the wedding music. ' The attendants were Miss Theo Gregg, a popular young visitor from Sumter, and Charles Kee land, of Birmingham, Ala., who acted as best man. "The bride looked particularly hand some and stylish in a modish tailor made gown of navy cloth, the long ccat worn over an exquisitely dainty white taffeta waist, while a jaunty hat and gloves of the same hue completed the pretty outfit. Immediately after the ceremony the young couple re ceived the heartfelt congratulations of their relatives and immediate friends and the reception which followed was a decidedlv pretty affair. Mrs. David i -reenewald received the guests in the ' hall they were received in the draw ing room by the bridal party which also included the bride"s parents.

"REALLY, DO I SEE you?" m MAYOR And Sure Enough the Recorder Was at That Festive Board and Heartily Enjoyed the Splen did Dinner Given to the Police by Major McNinch. Across the festive board yesterday afternoon, Mayor McNinch looked at Recorder Shannonhouse and the Re corder, in turn,, looked at the Mayor. It was Mayor McNinch's treat and the Recorder was one of the invited guests. There was nothing in the world to mar the pleasure of the occasion. All the little differences that have arisen between the Mayor and the Recorder w ere swallowed with thes "Tomato Puree," and peace now reigns in all corners of the camp, To those who have been agitators and who have striven with might and main to keep alive these petty misun derstandings, there is nothing left for them but the crumbs of a little conflict that should never have been waged. The Mayor of Charlotte is a big enough man to admit his mistakes. The Recorder of Charlotte, is likewise. And now that the county fair has passed into history and the days of the dynamite caps are over, would it not be well for both the Mayor and the Recorder to set together at other places than the festive board? Charlotte needs the influence of both these gentlemen, provided they will work in double harness as well as they did on yesterday. WAS CUPID IN TAFT PARTY?

The womanly spirit that has ac tuated your repeated service of love to this camp is worthy of emulation by southern womanhood. "Many homes of battle-scarred he roes are graced by wives and daugh ters who keep alive the fires of love in the family. But it certainly was a noble spirit that prompted you to think of others upon whom'' fortune had not so smiled and from whom there is no hope of return of like favors, and open the doors of your hospitable home, adorned with so much that is calculated :to make one forget for the time being, the cares and responsibili ties of life and to furnish food for thought for many days to come and a foretaste of the service that we all must soon enter from where there is no discharge." SHERIFF BROWN 57 POUNDS MAKE ONE BUSHEL. SAW M BIG FIGHT She-iff of York Count Writes the Governor That he was Unable, by Law, to Stop the Big Cock Main in York County, South Carolina. That big Christmas cock fight that was scheduled to be pulled off near the residence of R. F. Thomasson. in York County, just across the line, real ly did happen. Governor Hey wood made r.v. effort to put a stop to it, but it seems that Sheriff Hugh G. Brown was not in a position to carry out the Executive's orders. In fact, Sheriff Brown writes Gover nor Heyward that the fight did take place and. furthermore, that he (Sher iff Brown) was one of the spectators. In his letter to the South Carolina Governor. Sheriff Brown" says: "I wp.s told by a lot of the respons ible citizens - or kock hiii tnat tms cock pit is three and thrc?-quarter miles from any chartered institution of learning. There was some cock fight ing, but, under section 298 of the crimi nal code, I could not interfere. I stayed there for a number of hours and saw several fights, but no betting what ever. There were about 40 people at the place, and good order prevailed." From a well-known sport, who hails from western North Carolina, The News' man learns that the main is still on and that a great many fights were pulled off yesterday and last night " The following special from Rock Hill to the Columbia State throws ad ditional light on this big chicken fight. "Although numbers of citizens ob jecting to the cocking main to be held at the home of R. H. Thomasson, liv ing some four miles from Rock Hill communicated with the Governor on Sunday and, although the Governor isued instructions of Sheriff Brown of York county relative to the fight, the main is reported as having been in progress ever since Sunday. It is not known what instructions the Governor gave Sheriff Brown, but the Sheriff visited the scene of the cocking main, witnessed some of the fights and re turned home, it being understood that he had no power to break it up. Thomasson, having pleaded guilty some time ago to the charge of selling liquor, is under agreement with the court to pay a fine of $1,000 or to leave, the State by Jan. 10th. next. His place is not within the prescribed limits of three miles from any charter, ed seat of learning within which the law states no such pastime may be carried on. "The citizens who petitioned Gov. Heyward on Sunday thought that they had succeeded in preventing the nuis ance when they learned that the Gov ernor had communicated with the Sheriff but the action of the Sheriff ap peared to be evidence that even the appeal to Gov. Heyward was of no avail. It is understood that large crowds are in attendance upon the fight from York and surrounding countieh and from North Carolina' One of the fgrandest . agencies which enlight ened Science has discovered Denies Contention of Hills Bros. Co Decides v Canned : Pineapples Are ' Dutiable at 25 Per Cct. ' New York, Dec. 27. In a decision by Judge Piatt, the United States cir cuit court Saturday denied, a content ion made by the Hills Bros.-Co. regard ing the manner of measuring Spanish onions as a basis for customs assess ment. - If was maintained by" the importers that 60 pounds of the onions should constitute a bushel, and, not 57 pounds, reiieve the weight used as standard tor many years. When the case came before the board of general Appraisers several months ago, that tribunal affirmed the action of Collector Stranahan in using 57 pounds to a bushel. An appeal then followed to the court. Bushel baskets weretaken into tne court room, and the importers undertook to convince the court by a demonstration that the proper weight should be 60 pounds. On this point the court says: When it is considered., as found by actual test during the hearing by the court, that two onions taken at ran dom from a single bushel weigh about a pound, it -is easy to see how difficult it is to arrive at an exactly fair way of getting at what the actual weight ought to be.

The merchandise in controver sy consisted of pineapples in tins which were assessed 'by . the collector at the rate of 35 per cent ad valorem and one cent per pound. The import ers, however,, objected to this class ification, and filed a protest with the board of appraisers, which affirmed the correctness of the collector's re turn. The court now reverses the board and the collector holds that the proper assessment is only 25 per cent. 7av BAD HEADACHES gen erally arise from bad stom achs.
