The rostrum was decorated in tru wedding style, with foliage plants. bamboo, ivy and cut flowers arranged with exceeding tastef ulness, the whole given a beautiful effect by prettily shaded piano lamps sitting here and there. There was a beautiful pendant bell under which the wedding was to take place. j Miss Bessie Burtt . presided at the piano and when the auspicous hour ar rived for the ceremony, she played Mendelssohn's wedding march. The wedding party came up the aisle with all the appearance that it was a gen uine affair. The beautiful little bride looked as sweet as she could possibly be.and the groom was as handsome and gallant as grooms could be. The brides-maids and flower girls made a lovely picture, and the groomsmen in their becoming suits made the scene complete. I - i . . When the procession started, the spectators were struck with merriment and arose to their feet to get a good view of the cute party as-it approached the altar. Their admiration was ex pressed in smiles and laughter and there was an ebullition of complimen tary expressions from the hundreds of Hps. When the bride and groom reach ed the rostrum they stood beneath the bell, surrounded by their attendants, while Master Walter Mclntire, acting as the officiating clergyman and all berobed for the occasion, performed the ceremony In a clear, unfaltering voice and assuming all the dignity and sol emnity of a genuine minister. He was highly complimented for , the bright wanner in which he performed his part. When the ceremony had been per formed the bride and groom and their retinue retired to the peels of the wed ding march. From the assembly room they proceeded down stairs to the lec ture room where a reception was held and refreshments were served.

C. iA., was given last night In the auditorium. The RJev. P. H. Hoge, D. D., pastor of the First Pres byterion church, was tlhe lecturer, and it was a highly entertained and greatly edMed audience that listened to him. (His subject was "How we got the Bibte," and be handled the theme with consummate ability, display ing great familiarity with the history which (he detailed in such a choice manner. Taking the authorized Version of 1611 as a starting point, Dr. Hoge traced it through other English, translations to the Latin "Volgate and the Hebrew and Greek originals. We owe our English Bible, under God, to the genius, piety and consecration to Wm. T. Tyndale. Taking the Latin "Volgate, the trans lation of Jerome in the fourth century as a new starting point, it was traced back tfo its sources in the early Latin version, and the manuscripts of the original writings. SCep by step the existence and authority of our New Testament books was traced back to the contemiporaries of the apostle John. ' 1 The New Testament was then, taken up in its 'growth, beginning with the First Epistle to the ThessolonianS!, Showing the ' relative time and order of the different books, and the circum stances under which they were writ ten. The Old Testament as a whole was shown to have the seal of our Lord's approval; its growth, in broad outline was discussed, the prophets and other writing's grouped into period's, and the alms of the different classes of writings described. The Lord Jesus Christ stands in the centre, with one hand on the Old Testament bearing witness to it as the Word of God, With the other giving the gff t of inspiration to the apostles. Dr. Hoge gave expression tki the thought ttoaft When we have found what books constituted the Old Testa ment as He had it, and what books came from the apostles and those asso ciated with them in work and inspira tion, we have the Divine Word. Those who heard Dr. HOge did so Wfth great profit to themselves, and all who were present came away express ing their admiration of the address and commending ft in fulsome terms.

School Taxation The OM Soldiers Yesterday -A Matter of History; Happenings Here and There. A - . , - --i ' - ' - ' ' (Correspondence f The Messenger.) - Fayetteville, June 1L At the last meeting of the board of county commissioners an election was ordered in each school district (towns ships) on the question of levying a tax of 12 cents on the $100 of property, and 36 centson the poll, for school purposes. The importance of this step can hardly be overestimated. In Cross Creek town ship, especially. It. Is a matter of vital interest. Our schools have been ham pered for want of means, and should this tax be voted our graded school fund would be doubled, entitling us to $500 additional of public money. The battle of Bethel was very pleas antly celebrated yesterday by a squad of gallant veterans at "Lakewood," Mr. W. L. Holt doing the honors of that most charming resort rapidly becom ing with well directed work and taste fully applied improvements, one of the mostVbeautiful spots in North Carolina. Those enjoying the day's outing were: Colonels F. W. Kerchner, C. W. Broad- foot, W. J. Green, J. A. Pemberton, Charles Haigh, J. B. Starr; Major E. J. Hale; Captains J. A. McPherson, J. B. Smith, A. B. Williams; Messrs. W. L. Holt, R. L, Williams, J. D. Nott, S. W. Tillinghast, G. A. Burns. Your excellent selected article in The Messenger's issue of the 5th Inst., on wrell known songs was, your corre spondent ventures to believe, not ex actly faithful to history as to the Mar seillaise. De Lisle wrote that stirring national hjynn for 500 citizens of Mar seilles about to set out. not for the army of the Rhine, but for the celebra tion of the federation in Paris in Au gust, 1792. Led by Rebecqui, they reached the French capital on the 30th of July, being met on the way by Bar baroux an intimate friend of Barbec qui. By the way, it is said that Bar baroux's love of liberty was intensified bv a contemplation of the exalted char acter of Madame Roland, whom he loved without, however, awakening anv resoonse in that noble soul, which fhad room for only the passion of self- sacrificing devotion to country. At 2:30 o'clock this morning fire con sumed the dwelling of Mrs. Overton on Old street; adjoining the Baptist church and Darsonage. Excellent work by the fire department saved the surrounding property and the lower part or tne building, which was insured. Rehearsals are going on for the ren dition of "Jeptha's Daughter," which will be superbly costumed and moun ted; and the fact that the training of the performers is in the hands of Mrs. W. A. Robeson, Miss Maggie Pember ton and Mr. H. R. Novitzky guarantees an exceptionally fine entertainment. It is quite a novel experience to a sheriff to find himself in tne grasp ot the law, but this is what happened to Sheriff Geddie a day or two ago. He was arrested on a criminal action a misdemeanor for refusing to lay off the homestead of a business firm. The matter is continued to next term of the superior court. A very -interesting incident: was part of the proceedings of the last meeting of the Monument Association. There was read a letter to the president, Mrs John B. Broadfoot from Mrs. Snowden, aged 90 years, an old sweetheart of the great John C. Calhoun. On the ap proach of the federals during the war, she had in her possession a large sum of money for the Calhoun monument; this she sewed up in her clothing, keep ing it safely through all the subsequent trials and troubles. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC. Bnll-Fighting on the Wane in Spain Bull fighting is on the wane in Spain, and its popularity is rapidly declining, This is shown by the fact that the Madrid chamber of commerce has just presented a petition basedjon the unani mous.vote of its members to the gover nor of Madrid, requesting him to put a stop to weekday corridos, save on ex ceptional occasions. It is ureged there in that bullfights on working days in jure trade and industry, are detrimen tal to the dispatch of business in the government offices and favor idleness with all its accompanying evils. The governor has promised to accede to the petition and his decision is ap proved by a large and influential por tion of the public, while the remainder of the people view the matter with in difference. Yet twenty years ago the bear idea of any restriction of the number of bullfights by the authorities would have raised a storm of indigna tion, possibly developing into a revo lution. The altered condition of public sentiment with regard to this national sport is mainly attributable to the ex cellent influence of the Queen Regent, who has always set her face against bull-fighting, resolutely declining to countenance the corridors by her pres ence. , t - ' 0ail Borden Brand Condensed Milk.

South Carolina's Liqnor Policy Governor Ellerbe, as the official head "of the state government, has outlined the policy of the state in regard to the dis pensary system in the light of the recent decision of Judge Slmonton. He says; "We are not going to seize anything shipped into the state for personal use or anything sold by the people of other states in original packages. I understand by original packages that a man cannot get a dozen pint packages, for instance, in one case and sell them, but that each shipment constitutes a package. No seiz ures wnatever. will be made in transit. The constables will have to watch those who receive boxes of bottled liquor or liquor put up in any other way. If any thing less than the package in which it was shipped and received is sold, then the whole will be confiscated. As I under stand the decision, it is that the citizens of this state will not be permitted to sell in original packages or in any other way. I think, however, that it is within the de cision for citizens of this state to act as agents for parties residing outside the state and sell liquor for them in original packages." Columbia State.
