Mclean For Secretary of State.

TO the Editor: 1t is plain to most
Democrats now that Hon. Dan. Hugh
Mclean. of Harnett. will be nominal
ed on the first ballot for Secretary OF
State \ few words from one who is
intimately acquainted with Mr.. Nc
Lean. to those citizens of the State
who do not know him well. may be
appropriate here. Dan. Hugh Nc
Lean is true and marked Scotchman,
born and reared almost within the
roaring waves of the Cape Fear River.
and belongs to that sturdy race of
the elan MacLean that traces their
descent from those hardy Scotch who
held the undiSputed possession OF the
Isle of Null, and still more valua bic
land of Hay. Dan. Hugh Mclean, of
the county of Harnett, possesses a
combination of qualities in the gener-
al makeup of his character which
command respect at him and where
ever else he is known. His education
is complete, his habits are above re-
proach, his kindly disposition, his
| Christian character his frequent
charities whenever within his reach
commend him to the consideration OF
all thoughtful citizens. lie was born
| in July. 1917, and when AT the age OF
| Is he enlisted in the army of the
Southern Confederacy to fight for the
cause that his Scotch father anG iilH-
self considered just. His first services
were on the Peninsula in Virginia,
under that gallant leader of men,
General d. II. Hill. From that time
Young Mclean followed the fortunes
of war and was marched into North
ern Virginia. AT Cold Harbor ne was
detailed as courier by General harry
Heath and two horses were killed
from under him. At the surrender
Of Lee at AppomattoX, Mclean was
thefe-and there paraded on that fate
full field. DaA Hugh Mclean has
been i'm politics more or less since the
war. He was one Of those members
of the Legislature of 1876 Whea the
Democrats WreSted the reinS OF poll
teal power from the hands of the Re
publicans. He was elected on the
Hancock ticket. and made a thorough
and searching canvass of his district
He was elected to the Legislature OF
1898. and was one of the chief speak
ers during that campaign of the Cape
Fear section.
Dan. Hugh Mclean always has and
is now ready to take his stand for the
cause of Democracy, and lend his
time. money and services to perpet1i-
ate firmly the rule of the Anglo
Saxon. He now asks his fellow citi-
zens throughout the State to stand by
him in the coming convention. He
calls on the old Confederate soldiers
who fought as he fought to be at the
State convention. Dan. Hugh Mclean
desires this nominations: he is asking
his en- for 'neir support a'd their
number is sufficient; he has over 800.
perhaps. now, ,hJt can be depended
upon. and the 20 votes that Johnston
county is entitled to east are among
the number The people of this coun-
ty know Mclean well. He is not a
demagogue, he is not political
| trickster: he is a plain. practical. hon
est man. n Democrat \that can he de-
pended upon. Let him be nominated
by acclimation.

Spdnn-COnnO''s Marriage.

brilliant and festive wedding
occasion, that Of Mr.. Junius Nor.
wood Spann, of Columbia, S. c.,
and Miss Helen Emma Connors,
daughter of our popular towns,
man, Mr.. @. T. Connors. This
was the elimination, or acme, so
to speak, of a succession of radiant
nuptial events, which have
adorned the annals of our usually
quiet Lancaster for the past two
years. The marriage took place
in the Episcopal Church, which
was quite tastefully decorated
with evergreens and various
foliage of graceful sweep and
artistic design, interspersed with
the delicate and fragrant sweet
pea, this being the predominant
flower of the evening. Immense
candelabra threw a soft halo over
the beautiful little church.
About nine o'clock the "Bridal
Chorus" from Lohengrin, sounded
from the organ, which was
manipulated in a gifted manner
by Mrs. Carrie Butler, of Geor-
gia, aunt Of the bride. Mr.. Poag,
of Rock Hill, S. c., accompanied
her with the violin the music
thus blended was very dreamy
and delightful. The ushers, Mr..
Joseph X. ConnOrs, brother of
the bride, and Mr.. Edward Reed,
of Rock Hill, led the way. fol-
lowed by little Miss Butler, the
fairy flower girl, who scattered
Sweetpeas in profusion along the
white covered aisle. Then came
Miss Fannie Beckham, attendant
from Rock Hill, attired in white
organdie over pale pink, and
carrying bouquet of tinted roses.
She was followed by the maid of
