Those who are to inVesti-
gate Affairs of
Council
TWO FROM CITIZENS
AND TWO ALDER
Mayor CroVatt Names Hon. w. E.
Kay, DR.. D D Atkinson and
Aldermen Cook and Robin
son on the Committee.

Mayor CrOVatt yesterday appointed
the joint committee of two citizens
and two members of council to inves-
tigate the charge made by Alder
man J. E. du Bignon. The resolution
calling forethe Investigation was in
troduced by Alderman Dart: The
mayor names the following as the
committee:
Hon. w. e. Kay and DR.. d. d. At
kinson, from the citizens, and Alder
men w. b. Cook and l.. A. Robinson
from the city council.
The appointment of this committee
grows out of the recent action OF
council in leasing the foot of George
street to AldermaL,du Bignon.
A number of citizens, criticised the
action of council in granting the
lease to an alderman. In card pub
lished in these columns, Alderman du
Bignon stated that some of the alder,
men were daily making contracts
with the city and that he could see
no reason why there should be any
objection to him leasing the lot in
question.
At the meeting of council last
Thursday night the matter was re-
opened, and Alderman Dart intro
duced the following resolution, which
was adopted:
WHEREAS, In an article published
over his signature in The BRUNSWICK
DAILY News, in its issue Of August
18th, 1908, Alderman j. E. du Bignon
used the following language: (An al
derman can now make contract with
the city to furnish supplies of all kinds:
an alderman can, it seems, contract to
do all kinds of repair work, and furnish
material of every description, which
is being done every day. the effect
whereof was to lay upon every member
of this body, saving the mayor, the
charge of violating the law of the
State, as contained in Section IS of
our present City Code, compiled in
1901, and thus to reflect upon each
alderman of this city
Be it therefore, resolved, That the
mayor appoint at once committee of
two from this body and tive from the
citizens at large of this city, with
power to summon witnesses and pa
pers before them, and hear evidence:
and whose duty it shall be to enquire
at the earliest date practicable and
report to this body, so soon as can be
done by them, whether any alderman
or aldermen has or have, at any time
since any of the present members of
Council have been in Office. violated
the provisions of said law; and if so.
who, and in what manner, and when
was any such breach Of duty commit
ted.
1t is expected that the committee
appointed by the mayor Yesterday
will at once begin the investigation
and full report will probably be rem
dered at the next meeting of councils

Tincfured With Romance.

|
A marriage took place in Union OF
last Saturday night that was someM hal
romautic. The contracting parties were
Miss Bette Whitlcck, one of Union,
charming young ladies and daughter
of Mr.. aud Mrs. F. NJ. Whitlock, and
Mr.. e. 5. McGlashaD, an engineer OF
the Southern Railroad between Column
bia and Savannah. The couple became
acquainted while Mr., McGlashau was
running the switch engine in Union
some time ago. For some reason it was
decided not to let the parents know of
the wedding, and few friends were no.
titled and they lent their aid. The young
lady's trunks were packed and taken to
certain place In town where they were
Kept until late in the evening, then
taken to the depot aud checked for Co
lumbia. The idea was to marry at the
1st Methodist church just before train
time and go from there to the train.
The bride and groom and number of
friends were at the church promptly on
time, and about 0 O'Clock the ceremony
was performed by Rev. L. l.. Wagon.
It was something of an elaborate if quiet
affair. The couple were accompanied
by groomsman and bridesmaid. Mrs.
j. T. Rose furnished appropriate music
for the occasion and the organ pealed
forth the strains of Lohengrin's wedding
march as the party advanced to the al
tar, while the ceremony was being per-
formed, ooh, Promise Me-" was rem
dered, and the final piece was Mendles.
sohn's wedding march as they retired
1t was learned that the train was an
hour late, and there was somewhat of a
predicament, the party did not care to
60 20 the depot SO long before train time.
They remained in the church awhile, but
deciding the light in the church would
naturally attract the attention of the
curious, it was finally decided to cross
over to friends house nearby and wait.
Finally the party came 10 tho depot 20
minutes before the train arrived, by this
time a number of people had learned of
the affair and there were goodly num-
Der present to witness the arrival of the
party. In the meantime the parents
had caught on to the racket, but raised
no objection and everything went smooth.
Miss BERTHE is very popular and love-
able young lady and received congratu-
lations from those present. All wish
the couple much happiness and a long
and prosperous life. They went to Co.
lumbia where they will make their tenn
porary home, and will probably later
move to Savannah, where Mr.. Nicolas
hams people live. Cupid has ways If
his own that are past finding out by the
unmitiated.'
"She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Met in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.''
