YOUNG kLOPERS
MARRIED HERE
Bride Sweet Sixteen and
Groom One Year Older
Have Knot Tied
PREACHER WOLFE DECEIVED

Giving their ages as q and Is re-
spectively, Chester T. Blake and Miss
Amy NJ. Lewis, both Of Chester were
married by the Rev George l.. Wolfe,
pastor of the First Methodist Protest
ant Church Of this city on Saturday
night.
The fact of the matter Is that the
girl is sixteen years old and the groom
one year older. They eloped to this
city.
The marriage is the elimination OF a
secret courtship that has been carried
on by the youthful couple for several
months. Recently, however Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis were made aware of the
attachment OF young Blake for their
daughter. They did not oppose his at
itention, thinking it was only boy and
| girl love affair and they were greatly
surprised when informed by the bride
herself that she and Chester had gone
off and got married. They decided to
make the best of it, and the couple
were at once forgiven and welcomed TO
the paternal fireside.
Miss Lewis is a remarkably pretty
girl, with brown hair and eyes to
match. She looks several years older
than she is. The couple were attend
ed by Miss Jennie b. Lewis, a sister
lof the bride and Walter ]. Fredrick
who acted as best man.

Rumors of compromise on the part
of the warning factions of the Repubh-
can party are rife. Both L. 5. Sem
ators Ball and Alice are i'm the city.
Each profess ignorance of any ad-
justment of political differences.
Neither has met the other. The Rega-
lar Republican County Committee has
not been apprised Of any action on
the part of the Unions regarding COM
mon primaries. Union Republican cam
.dida5es, it is said. will meet tonight and
take action regarding a common ticket
irrespective of Addicks and the lead
ers. The gas man is not in the city.
Such was the status Of politigL
affairs this morning and all sorts OF
rumors were floating broadcast about
the city to the effect that at last the
Union Republicans had seen the equity
of the Regular Republican County
Committees proposition f(r common
primaries and were willing to meei
them half way at least. A prominent
Union Republican leader is quoted as
saying this morning: Common pri-
maries have got TO come sooner ol
later if the Republicans expect to carr,
the State at the coming election anC
that question might as well be settled
now as at any time"
This seems TO be the sentiment o
a great number Of Union Republican.
