An Oversight.

posed to take everything In sight when
drafting Donnelly's bill. but II appears
that the meanderings Of the John Day

overlooked white check or two away

George Washington.

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the

soldier, statesman and patriot. The
nation has underwent many changes
since he passed away, but none 81 great
as those which have occurred during

MES on the Atlantic seaboard we have
grown TO be u mighty nation, stretching
not only from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
hut across that mighty ocean to the very
shores oi Asia. Asa nation we have
grown rich ami powerful.
In Washington's day the acme OF
human happiness, from an American
standpoint, was freedom from entangle-
lnents With the old world. To-day onr
national policy is the very reverse Of
that, being rather one OF aggression and
conquest Gould Washington live agai n

ing at Mr.. Meng's. We clip from the
State the following account Of the we'd
ding:
Cheraw, Dec. 1.-the marriage of
Mr.. ". Chesley Lucas, of Laurens and
Miss Leila A. Powell, of Cheraw, took
place in the Presbyterian church at
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon. Rev. A.
FL. McArn performed the CEREMONY
The bride is one of Cheraw's most
beautiful and attractive young ladies.
The groom is a son OF DR.. b S. Lucas,
OF Hartsville, and is a popular and sue.
cessiul young man of Laurens, where
the happy couple will make their fu-
ture home.
The church was very handsomely
decorated with bamboo, ferns and pot
flowers, and o large crowd OF friends
from this and adjoining towns gathered
to witness the happy event. AS the
well-known strains Of Lohengren's
wedding march, beautifully played By
Mrs. Marion Evans, were heard, the
ushers, Messrs. George Powell and j.
G.. Colt, Jr., marched up the right aisle
and Messrs w. II. Powell and ID. S.
Matheson up the left. At short dis
tance they were followed by the groom
attended by his best man, Mr.. M. S.
McKlnnon, Of Har'sville. The bride
with her sister, Miss Bessie Powell, as
maid OF honor, at the same time went
up the right aisle.
The bride was becomingly attired in
lovely white cashmere trimmed with
white corded silk and carried bou-
quet OF Columbia japonicas. The maid
of honor wore q handsome white Or
candle with white satin trimmings
and carried a bouquet OF holly and
ferns. The happy couple, followed by
the attendants marched out Of the
church to the music OF Mendelsshon's
wedding march. 1T was a beautiful
and impressive ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas left this after
noon on the Atlantic Coast Line for q
short Visit at Hartsville with the
groom's parents, from which place
they go to their future home at Lau-
rens.
The presents were numerous and
handsome and evidenced the popu-
ularity OF the high contracting par
ties.
