CHESTER.
Lantern, December II: At Richburg,
Wednesday evening, Dec. 9Th, at D
o'clock, Mr.. r. M. Strange Of Manning,
and Miss Mary Wylie were quietly
married at the home Of the brides
mother, Mrs. Kate Wylie, in the pres
ence of only a few near relatives and
intimate friends Of the contracting
parties. The ceremony was performed
BY Rev. ]. H. Wilson. Mr.. and Mrs.
Strange left for Manning on the 3
o'clock train to visit his relatives.
Miss M. G. Curtis, who has been man
ager of the Western Union Telegraph
Office here for some time, has been
transferred to Charlotte, and Mr.. b. A.
Hughes comes from Charlotte to take
her place. Miss Curtis has kept the
boys under good control and made the
Office exceptionally quiet and orderly
during her administration, and we
trust that Mr.. Hughes can keep 1t up
to as high a standard Of behavior. .
There was no little surprise Wednes-
day morning when it became known
that Mr.. G. Carl Latimer and Mrs. Kate
J. DaVega had been married the nignt
before, for very few knew 1t until
Wednesday morning. Some claim TO
have been expecting it to happen some
time, but admit that they were Jared
hy the suddenness of the event. Most
of us, however, had never thought OF
such a thing. The contracting parties
are both so widely known and SO pop
ular that everybody took deep interest
in the affair. Late in the afternoon
a few friends were asked to be at the
Baptist pastorium at O'CLOCK. VI
course, they were there, and we sup
pose they all knew wherefore they were
come together, but we are not positive
ly informed as to that After the ar
rival Of all parties and suitable pre-
liminaries, the Rev. John Bass Shelton
officiated In the ceremony which made
Mrs. Davega Mrs. Latimer and Mr.
Latimer her husband. There were
present besides the bride and groom
and the minister's family, Mr.. and Mrs
6. M. Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. Nc
Fadden, Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Hall, Mr.
Ed H. and Miss Annie G. Hardin, MT
Geo. E. Latimer and Mr.. ]. A. Barron
Mr.. and Mrs. Latimer left on the mid
night train for brief honeymoon IN
Pelham Wagner, boss weaver at the
Springstein mills, shot one Joe Brad
shaw in the abdomen, the ball entering
low down on the left. DR.. ]. M. Brice
was called to see the wounded man
He at first thought the ball had pene-
trated the cavity, but later he located
II near the surface, on the right and
considerably higher up than where II
entered. He does not think now that
the cavity was penetrated, but the
course Of the ball Is a mystery. He
does not think the wound is necessarily
serious, but it is too soon yet to deter
mine that definitely. According to the
reports which we have received, anc
which come chiefly from friends ol
Mr.. Wagner, Bradshaw, who had come
from North Carolina a few days ago
had worked in the mill some three
days but had quit. He went to Wag'
ner for his time, and the latter gave
him an order or some kind Of paper
to an official who had charge Of such
matters, but somehow Bradshaw was
not satisfied and kept following him
up, being drunk and having knife ir
his hand. We do not know whether ne
attempted to use the knife, or wha,
Immediately preceded the shooting
Mr.. Wagner surrendered to the sher'
iff, went before Judge Mcclure and was
released on a bond Of $500.
