Saturday, April 28, 1900.

Anderson, of Tennessee, a cousin of the
bride, took her place at the piano and
the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March caused all to watch the door,
way. First came in the members of
the two families, Mr.. Banks father
and mother-Professo and Mrs. A. K.
Banks, of Rock Hill-and his little
brother, John, and Colonel and Mrs.
Vance entering first. Then came the
bridal party, Miss Emmie Webb, of
Laurens, and Mr.. Jessie K. Vance, of
Charleston, entering first. They were
followed by DR.. and Mrs. William
Norwood, of Greenville, the latter, an
aunt of the bride, being the dame of
honor. Then came Mr.. Y. H. Vance,
of this city, brother of the bride, and
Miss Hattie Banks, of Rock Hill, sister
of the groom. They were followed by
Mr.. Charles NJ. Galloway, of The State,
best man, and Miss Lyl Vance, maid
of honor, sister of the bride. These
couples formed semicircle into which
stepped DR.. Smith. As he did 80 the
young couple entered and took posi-
ton before the man of the Gospel. The
music changed to the soft Faithful
and True," and the ceremony was
most impressively performed.
When it had concluded the hour of IS
had passed and friends hastily crowded
around to congratulate the groom, and
to wish the couple happiness. At 6.l0
p. m. the couple, accompanied by Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Banks, Miss Banks and
Master Banks, left for the groom's old
home at Rock Hill, where the honey
moon will be quietly spent.
The groom wore black cutaway
suit and the blushing bride was gowned
in stylish -colored, tailor.made
gown, carrying in her hand a bridal
bouquet of beautiful roses.
1t was indeed happy occasion-an
auspicious setting out upon the jour-
ney of welded life, and alljoined in the
wish that the whole journey, indeed the
eventide, be laden with as much hap.
piness to the pair of young people who
thus hand-in- hand proceed to face the
future and destiny"

TRIED TO KILL A CHILD.

A 6.year-old son of Mr.. J. S. Drake
ford, of Yorkville, had narrow escape
from death last Thursday at the hands
of crazy printer named Hayes CALI
her. The child was only saved by the
timely interference of its mother.
IT was during the noon hour, and
there was no one in the composing
room except Galliher and the child
The child gave terrified scream, and
Mrs. Drakeford, who lives in an ad
Joining room, rushed to see what was
the matter. Galliher was standing
holding her child with one hand, and
in the other upraised hand he held an
open knife. The child's throat was
bleeding, and on the face of the man
was the unmistakable expression of the
bloodthirsty maniac. Mrs. Drakeford
screamed in horror, and rushing for
ward, snatched the child from the
man. 1t is probable that her scream
served to stay the descending arm
Anyway, she instantly retreated 10 the
next room, fastened the door and was
safe.
Mr.. Drakeford came in few mo.
ments later. He found Galliher ap-
parently rational and unconcerned.
So soon as he learned what had hap
pened, he went for an officer, and
within a short time afterward Galliher
was in Jail. On the way to the Jail,
the crazy man claimed that children
are nuisances there are too many oi
them, and he would like to kill some
of them off. He said that had be
known that he was to have been locked
up on account Of this child he would
have cut its head off.
After the excitement was over, it
developed that the little boy had been
slightly wounded in the throat. The
crazy man had used pocket knife
and cut through the skin near the Jug
ular vein with the point of the blade.
What he may have done, had he not
been interfereG with, is only a matter
of conjecture.
Galliher is from Blacksburg, and has
been in Yorkville for several weeks.
1t was generally understood that he
was unbalanced; but it was not until
a few days previous to the incident
described, that there was any reason
to believe that there was a dangerous
element in his disorder. One night re.
Gently, without the least provocation,
he made o murderous assault on a Ne
gro boy with knife. He was arrested
and fined, and but little was thought
of the matter until this last develop
meut. As soon as possible he will be
sent to the state hospital for the insane
for treatment.

Hanna was bitter against Quay, and
so also was certain other prominent Re
publican leaders. 1t was hoped by the
Republicans that Hanna, under the cir
cumstances, would content himself
without pair. He was paired, how
ever, with Depew, who was for Quay.
Senator McLaurin voted for Quay and
Senator Tillman voted against him.
Although Quay is represented as being
disappointed at the result of the vote,
it is said that he recognizes that his
friend Vest voted purely on principle,
and he does not complain.

THE G. s. NV. "


lima and North Western railroad now
has its financial plans in just such
shape as it deems necessary for the
carrying out its purposed improve
meuts of widening the gauge and ex-
tending the line. This was accom-
plished at the meeting of the stock
holders that was held in Chester this
week.
It will be remembered that under
the Harper reorganization there was
executed a mortgage on the road for
$4,000, in 5 per cent. gold bonds.
OF these bonds s275,OOO were used for
the purpose of refundlng the old first
mortgage bonds, $4,000 was set aside
to be used in refunding the 100000
mortgage on that portion of the line
between Hickory and 'Lenoir, which
falls due on July l next, and there
was balance of $4,000 left in the
treasury undiverted. Of the Harper
bonds outstanding Mr.. Barber and
friends own or control all but SAL ,OOO
In order to get the means with which
to broaden the gauge and. extend the
line, Mr.. Barber and his associates
have deemed it desirable to wipe
out all the obligations described above,
and to start over again on an entirely
new basis. With the Trust Company
of America, acting as trustee, it has
been arranged to execute new mort
gage on basis of $4,000 mile on
the property as it now stands, and to
cover all improvements, including ex-
tensions. This will give the company
81 ,32O,O 900 with which to do what it
has in view, and after providing out
of this sum for present obligations,
there will be left the sum of $3.50, 900
with which to broaden the gauge and
extend the line.
Such was the substance of the ex-
plantations that were made to the
stockholders on Tuesday. The stock.
holders were further told that it was
part of the plan to increase the capt.
tai stock of the company to 81, 900, 900,
of which 100000 is to be preferred
stock and the balance common stock,
with the understanding that the COM
mon stock will have no share in the
profits until after the preferred stock
has realized dividend of 4 per cent.
On these explanations the stockholders
passed resolutions that authorize the
proposed plans to be carried into ef-
feet, the resolutions being so pream-
bled, of course, as to stipulate that
the gauge be broadened to standard
and the line be extended to some point
in North Carolina or Virginia at one
end and some point on the South At
lantic coast at the other end.
Mr.. Barber said in effect that the
money with which to finance the new
proposition is virtually in hand. He
also said that he had no desire to take
advantage of bondholders or stock
holders who have not yet disposed Of
their holdings, and announced his will
lingness to buy all outstanding bonds
at the same price he paid for those he
has, 80 cents on the dollar. For OUT
standing stock he will pay $3.50 a
share.

We have been looking for crit

- We have been looking for criti-
cisms of Senator McLaurin, on account
of his vote in favor of the seating OF
Quay hut so far these criticisms have
not developed. Maybe it was because
Mark Hanna voted against Quay, and
McLaurin had such good company as
Morgan, Daniel, Sullivan and Tallia-
ferro. Why these gentlemen voted
for the seating of Quay, we are unable
to explain, although we are satisfied
that they had good reasons. Being
chairman of the Republican party, and
not generally supposed to be governed
by high principles, it is reasonable to
assume that Hanna voted against the
Pennsylvania because he was jealous
of the latter's tremendous power in the
councils of the party. However, as a
matter of principle, we think Senator
Vest, who, has for years been recog-
nized as Quay's most intimate personal
friend, was right in voting no. 1t is
clear that the constitution only intends
that senators shall be appointed by
governors in the case of vacancies
which occur while the legislature is
not in session. Otherwise, under the
law requiring majority to elect, it
will nearly always be possible to bring
about deadlocks that would throw the
appointment of senators in the hands
of governors.

Chaingang and the Roads.

Mr.. NJ. L. Thomasson, who was one
of the leaders in the improvement OF
the Charlotte road, and whose views
on road improvement are obviously
entitled to especial consideration, said
the other day in discussing the dispo-
sition of the chaingang, at is all right
to use the chaingang for digging down
rocky hills along the roads like those
at Turkey creek but I don't believe
in using the gang for throwing up loose
dirt. Dirt roads can be made by the
ordinary road forces, and community
that is not willing to haul rock for
macadam work has not much use for a
good road anyway"
