church in Pickensville, Ala, on
last Wednesday night at $40
O'Clock, Rev. w. F. Herndon of
fciating.
The church was artisticalIy
decorated with roses and sweet
pea blossoms. At the approach
of the bridal party an appropriate
solo was rendered by Mr..
Richard Huntley. of Birming
ham. a relative of the bride S
family. Miss Helen Stone, sister
of the bride, was lovely as maid

acted as best man. The other
attendants were: Miss Lydia
Chalmers, with Mr.. w. G. Long,
Miss Eva Martin with Mr.. Hunt
ley, Miss Lizzie Someryille with
Mr.. Patrick Buntin.
After the ceremony the bridal
party, with few of their friends
and relatives, repaired to the
residence of the brides family.
where an elegant supper was
served. The hospitable and beau
tiful home was never more so
than on this occasion, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stone receiving their guests
ia most gracious manner
thoroughly in keeping with
genuine Southern hospitality.
Among those present were Mrs.
McClung, Messrs. Joseph Dono-
ghue and w. G. Mcclure, of this
city. and Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy
Summerville, of Aliceville, Ala.
The bride is a young woman
of marked beauty. grace and ac-
com plishment, lovely no less in
face and figure than attainments
in music, learning and art. She
is the possessor of those traits
of character that have made her
extremely popular at home and
and in her departure
from the realms of single bliss.

The election Of Gen. S. ID. Lee,
Of this city, to succeed Gen. Cor
don las commander in chief of
the Confederate Veterans was but
a fit tribute to one who has did
much for the Confederacy. and
has done as much more for the
new South. The reunion was
largely attended, and was enc of
the most successful held in years.
There Is something inexioress-
lively touching in the gathering
of those who passed through
those years Of struggle and
hardship that m arked an epoch
in the history of the South and
the love and reverance with
which they are held IN the hearts
of the present generation was
touchingly demonstrated by the
reception they received in Nash

Bogus Drugs.

In a ne.Elboring city a number Of
men are under arrest upon the charge
of counterfeiting labels of propri stary
medicines. Under these labels were
sold compounds having no relation in
character TO the genuine. To conceive
q meaner form of crime would be diff
ficult
Doubtless there are patent medi-
cines woefully lacking in merit. but in
many cases the formulate Of the most
distinguished doctors have been given
to the world. The great Lister,
whose teachings have revoluuonized
surgical methods, robJing them of a
large measure Of danger, has not
withheld the benefit OF his knowledge
from the public. There are so-caIled
patent medicines that are based upon
prescriptions in use among the best
of doctors Of accepted schools.
There may be periods during a crit
zeal illness when the substitution Of a
bogus medicine would result in death
when the physician had every reason
10 anticipate relief and cure. Then.
Of course, the act of counterfeitng
would become an act Of murder
AdulJeration OF foods is a wicked
and heartess practice, but It IS hard
y so base as the adulteration OF med
icines. In the latter case the sick aud
helpless are the victims. Counterfeit
ing Of drug labels is worse than the
counteTfeiting Of money. It is the
attempt TO rob, with homicide added.
II the members Of the imprisoned
gang are guilty as charged, a life sen
/ tence. with doses Of their own
spurious compounds, would be a TT
ting punishment for their crime.

The Aged Minister.

Sunday there was made IN certain
pulpits Of this city a plea for the aged
minister. The basis OF this plea was
the fact that the minister, when no
longer physically able 10 perform the
duties OF his station, finds himself
almost invariably lacking the means
Of support He has laid nothing
away for the time Of enforced idle
ness. AS a rule the minister. unless
presiding over a wealthy congrega-
ton, practices an almost rigid ecOno-
my. He does this perhaps in spite OF
an inclination TO be at least fairly
comfortable. for he breads debt, and
his income is shamefully meager.
While there can be no objection
urged to the granting OF a pension
and a liberal. ungrudged one at that
Ia far better plan would seem TO be
to pay the minister an adequate sal
airy during the period Of his labors.
II a congregation is too poor to do
this, IL might unite with a neighbor-
ing one. If there is no opportunity
for such a course. it cannot in justice
expect a minister to sacrifice himself
% its interests, wear himself out in
efforts unreeompensed. and at last be
content to receive a dole just sufi-
cient TO keep soul and body together.
Men Of fine intelligence and capaci-
ty seek the>ministry. Often they are
impelled 10 this act by a clearly de-
fined sense Of duty, and to obey have
10 abandon prospects Of material sue
cess. To so requite them that old age
hnds them in the status which many
would regard as allied to pauperism,
is an evidence Of seIfshness. They
earn their pay. and. as others who
work, they are entitled TO pay both
fair and prompt If they got this
there would not need 10 be any pen
sion for their old age.
The Washington times., 1904-10-10

during last week, gives a picture OF
the times that have passed, and were
all too slow in passing. In the mind
Of the observer there arises marvel
that such vile superstitiOns as shown
forth could have held possession Of
mortal intelligence, and that creatures
fashioned in the form of their Maker
could have sunk lower than the
ravening beasts, and even then been
clothed with authority.
II is not strange. perhaps. that here
and there should appear some out
cropping OF the old Ieaven of error.
4 poison is hard TO eliminate. From
Illinois comes the story of a girl who
committed suicide because pers laded
that she was held in the thrall of a
demon. The girl was not insane, but
weak and impressiOnable; she had
come under the influence of a mis-
chievOus old fool. He told her of the
curse she bore, and persuaded her to
wear a peculiarly constructed steel
belt to ward OF the evil spell. The
terror he inspired drove her to death.
His explanation is that she left OF the
protecting belt.
OF course the place for the fraud is
in jail or asylum. He is not up TO
the standard Of the present. He was
born several centuries too late. Once
there was an environment that would
have been exactly suited TO him. and
the fact that this no longer exists is
proof that the world is better.

The Symphony Orchestra.

Cheering news comes from the
managers Of the Washington Sym
phony Orchestra. In the public state
meut which those officials make reg
ularly at the opening OF each season
IL is stated that Director DeKoveu
has engaged fifty men TO play exclu-
sively for this band, and has thus put
the orchestra upon a permanent foot
ing The playing OF the orchestra
has been notably improved, year by
year, under Mr.. DeKoven's leader
ship. but the advances made so far
viii probably all be surpassed now
that two-thirds Of the musicians can
attend rehearsals without conflict
with other engagements, and viii not
lose even a part of the advantage OBJ
tanned through symphony practice by
less exacting service in places OF
amusement.
OF necessity this Improvement viii
be costly. The expense OF employing
these musicians viii alone be more
than $4,000. To this must be added
the regular fixed charges Of such a
bOdy-music, and other supplies, hall
rent. advertising, and Office expenses
so that the whole cost viii hardly
be less than $4,000.
In other cities the. corresponding
situation is met by means OF an en-
dOwment. Philadelphia was recently
put to raising 100000. Chicago IN
dertOok to obtain, and did obtain. a
much larger sum. The Boston Sym
phony Orchestra has long been indie
pendent But in Washington the
only means Of meeting this charge OF
$4,000. apparently, is a popular
guarantee. Heretofore half q dozen
men, interested In music and devoted
10 Washington, have become sponsors
for the whole fund. Mr.. DeKOyen,
for example, has not only given Of his
means. but has contributed his ser
vices as director; and as good a di-
rector as Mr. DeK0ven costs Pfttsburg
about $4,000 a year. The hope of
The orchestra and Of all who are gen
timely interested In it's success is that
he guarantee fund may be more even
ly distributed. What is needed, there
fore, is a number Of small subscrip-
lions, say. Of SO each.
To that end Mr.. Herbert Wads-
worth, president Of the orchestra. has
authorized the issuance Of the public
statement 70 which reference has been
made It has been widely distributed
and published And The Times is
glad for this opportunity to join IN
the movement.

trivial character. That they viii be
punished, nobody has the slightest
reason for believing. If next season
they desire to set anoat another tin
der-b0x, loaded with women and chill
dren, and manned by undirected stu
pidity and ignorance. probably there
will be nothing in the way of their
doing so.
The SIocum disaster has not b5en
forgotten. If the purpose Of the ex-
cursion had been the slaughter OF in
nOcents, it could not have been more
effectively planned. There was a
room cluttered with waste and
soaked in Oil Here a deck-hand
filled lamps, learning that each was
full by hearing the kerosene pour on
the floor Into this room were intro
duced faring lights. OF course, there
was a burst of flame. Then the man
at the wheel, although he could easily
have beached the blazing craft. chose
to keep far from shore while his pas
sengers roasted or in agony jumped
into the water to be drowned.
In the whole list OF appalling cas-
ualties Of modern times there is not
another that approaches in wanton
brutality that involving the destruc-
ton Of the SlOcum. There entered
into it no element of accident The
conditions necessary to such a horror
were grouped. and the result became
inevitable.
Nobody has been punished. In ali
probability nobody viii be punished.
The only hope rests in the report now
in the hands of the President. and ac-
ton that may spring from IL.
