have it put. I lay awake in cold
perspiration as the time drew near
and I shivered with agony as l
thought of the terrible ordeal. The
dreadful day came; I went through
the program somehow in a dozed'
confused, mechanical way; the guests
one by one departed, and my hair
began to stand on end, felt like. fee

night in the barn. or leaving for the
West never to return. I was deeply
devoted to Sallie; I loved her harder
than q mule can kick; but that dread
full ordeal I could not, I dare not
stand it. Finally the last guest was
gone, the bride retired, the family
gone to bed, and I was left with the
old man. John, said he, you can
take that candle; you will find your
room just above this. Good night
John, and may the Lord have mercy
on your soul, and with mischievous
twinkle of the eye the old man left
the room. When I heard him slam
q distant door I staggered to my feet
and seized the candle with nervous
grasp. I knew that it could not be
avoided, yet I hesitated to meet my
fate like man. A happy thought
struck me. I hastily climbed the
stairs, marked the position Of the
landing and the other door OF the
bridal chamber. I could have dis
robed in that holy chamber, where
awaited me q trembling girl. I
therefore decided to make the usual
preparations without, blew out the
light, open the door and friendly
darkness would at least mitigate the
horror of the situation. Il was soon

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Since wrote last the 'smatrimo-

town. On q pretty Sabbath after
noon. Rev. DR.. Wilkins was aroused
from his study and beheld at the
door MIR. James Whittle and Miss
Claude Rikard. Their nilsson soon
became known and calling the mem
bers of the household to witness the
pleasant ceremony, the Doctor pro-
eeeded to unite them in the marriage
state.
One beautiful evening the Metho
dist church was tastefully decorated,
a large number of friends assembled
and accompanied by handsomely
dressed gentlemen and beautifully
gowned ladies, Miss Emma Rawl and
Mr. 8. B. Cartlege presented them
selves at the chancel, and Rev. E. I

Miss Eva Jones, daughter OF the
Mayor Of our town, to Prof. D. W.
Daniel of Clemson College, Was SOL
emnized. Dainty fingers had spent
days in festooning the church, deco
raticns in every CONSPICUOUS place,
were arranged. The time was high
noon, the shades were down, the
room darkened and numbers of can
dies let their tiny lights illumine the
scene. Mendlesshon's wedding march
burst forth; urshers in regal attire ad.
yanced up the aisles. Rev A. j. s.
Thomas, of Greenville, and Rev. W.
w. Daniel, of the Columbia Female
College, took their positions. Seve-
raj gentlemen attendants, with an
equal number of magni6cently dress
ed young ladies, proceeded noiselessly
to their positions, when Mayor Jones,
with his lovely daughter leaning on
his arm, met the groom at the altar
whers an impressive ceremony, the
two distinguished divines plighted

The TflIman Trial.

Owing to the illness of Judge Gage, Chief
Justice Pope has to assign a Judge to sit at
the September term in Lexington, where j.
II. Tillman is to be tried for killing n. q.
Gonzales. This position was given to Judge
Townsend, who was on the bench when the
change of venue was granted. This Is taken
by Columbia dispatches TO indicate that the
Judge Is not unfriendly to Tillman. The fact
that he is q "Tillmanite' is referred 10 while
disclaiming fear of partiality for the prisoner
The fact that Judge Pope refused bail TO the
prisone or, and then appointed the Judge, VINO
granted the change of venue might be con-
sidered as an offset.
AS everybody knows, the shooting was the
result OF attacks Of the deceased in his news

Whether these attacks upon character are to
be taken as mitigating circumstances IN
bringing on violence Is matter for the con-

all probability, consider the printed words
which are quite another thing from the

In this case we believe mucn interest is felt
among people OF the city OF Columbia, where
both the slayer and the slain had many warm
friends and many bitter enemies. And 1t is
