The marriage of Miss Louise Pen
dergrass and Mr. P S Courtney
which took place at Z O'Clock last
Thursday afternoon at the residence
of the brides sister, Mrs L Stackley
was an affair attended with much
interest to "a large number of friends
of the contracting parties. There
were only few special friends pres
ent outside of the immediate family
connection, but the ceremony of the
Methodist church as read by Rev
Henry Cauthen was very beautiful
and impressive and at its close con-
gratulatioIs sincere and fervent
were extended to the young couple
entering the threshold of their mar
ried life.
After refreshments had been
served the bridal couple drove to
the station, where the platform was
literally thronged with friends who
showered upon the happy pair pro-
fuse congratulations and enough
rice to set up modest establishment
in housekeeping. Mr. and Mrs
Courtney returned Saturday and are
boarding at DR. A NJ Snider's, on
Railroad avenue.
Both the bride and the groom are
very popular in Kingstree society.
Mr. Courtney, who is at the head of
the firm Of P S Courtney & Co., is a
Young business man of enterprise

Miss Pendergrass was the centre OF
a large circle of admiring friends.

The GOOD ROADS QUESTION.
SUPERVISOR GRAHAM REPLIES
TO A CARPiNG CRITIC.
And Incidentally lmparts Some Learn

knowledge.

And Incidentally lmpartS oON'e ISo'
ing to Seeker after
knowledge.
Editor County Record
Please allow me space in your
paper to reply to an article, signed
"Voter," which appeared in the Week
ly Mail last week, asking for d detinl-
ton of the term "good roads" and
also criticising the condition OF the
public roads of the county.
1t is always a pleasure to me to
impart learning to the unlearned
and l therefore beg to give "Voter"
the definition he desires: The word
"good," probably derived from the
Anglo Saxon god, means; possess
ing desirable qualities; serviceable;
we'll; excellent;" and the word
"roads' is the plural of road, mean-
ing "that on which one rides or
travels; u trackway"; and is derived
from the Anglo Saxon root rod
(meaning ride.
Now, from the above "Voter" can
see that the phrase "good roads"
means .'trackways possessing desir-
able qualities, or excellent places on
which one rides or travels; / trust
that "Voter" has grasped my
explanation.
l notice with sorrow that "Eoter"
is getting sore-headed; and though l
am grieved to learn that even one
voter is in that deplorable condition,
vet had | not used my best judgment
and delayed working the roads until
after the terrible spell of wet weather,
which lasted throughout the entire
first part of my administration,
would have had many-aye, 1000 to
l. sore-heads throughout this
county,.
"Why has Williamsburg gotten SO
far behind:" Is Williamsburg so
far behind? Behind in what? l
cannot imagine. 1t may be only
patriotism OH my part, but | believe
that Williamsburg county is the
garden spot of the State.
For myself beg to say that as an
officer ] can always be found either
in my office or driving around the
county attending to the business of
the county.
Has '.Voter" wandered from his
fg-tree? l cannot think that be
has; for if he had he would not
make the bare assertion that the
roads have not had a spade-full of
dirt on them. If "Voter" will
travel the road from Cades to In
diantown he will see great improve
ment in that road; if he will travel
the roads near Scranton he will see
where more than one spade-full of
dirt has been put OH them, and
travel in other and various sections
of the county and he will then have
q fair idea of what l am doing,
which he can never get by remain
ing on his own place.
And, last, Mr. "Voter." our
preaching speaks only through our
works, and if you will examine our
work you will have a good sermon
before you. Take the beam out of
thine own eye before you try to pluck
the mote from thy brothers eye.
Respectfully yours,
]. j. GRAHAM.

tending this homicide are in brief as
follows: On September 10, 1902,
Mr. Williamson went to arrest one
Louis Mouzon, a negro, who was
working on the floating gang near
Scranton. The charge against
Mouzon was obtaining goods under
false pretenses. The negro demanded
to be shown the warrant. Mr. Will
hanson showed it to him and he re-
fused to be arrested, taking up a
"fish plate" and drawing it on Will
hanson and using threatening Ian

Kansas City. Mo-, Sept. 26.-Peace was
patched up between the Buchanan and Parks
factions in the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers to-day.
President Buchanan had scarcely called the
convention to order in regular session this morn
ing when the Parks crowd expressed desire 10

vention yesterday and proceed in a regular way.
Then the convention took formal vote the
motion to reconsider the vote by which Daniel
Brophy. a member Of New-York Local No. 2.
and who held proxy from Scranton. Penn,
had been seated. Brophy unseated by A
good majority. AS he arose TO cave the hall
Parks advanced toward him with extended
hand. Brophy refused to shake hands until
Parks apologized for his language on Thursday.
This Parks did fully, and when the door closed
on Brophy the convention settled down for the
first peaceable session since it convened on
Monday.
Later Brophy was invited to attend the ses-
sions Of the convention. but without vote. He
declined this offer. and outside the convention
said: L will go back TO New-York and fight
SAM Parks and his element. The majority Of
the structural iron and bridge workers Of New
York are opposed to them. The majority want
Parks and his followers out of the union. and
will in the future devote my efforts to accom-
plishing this thing"
