Many Efforts Have Been Made Ia
Have the iarbor Protected From
Alleged Disintcgration.
INSPECTION WAS MADE TODAY

Major H. G. Newcomer. chief ma
rine engineer of the United States
government. who is making an in
spection of Tennessee river, was In
Paducah this morning to look at the
conditions of the Paducah harbor TO
report to the government. His visit
to Paducah Is the result of repeated
attempts of the legislative boards
and persons interested in the welfare
of the harbor here to get the govern
ment to rip-rap or make some provis-
ion to prevent the current of Liv-
ingston's Point from breaking into
the harbor in the milling districts
south of Paducah.
Major Newcomer came down this
morning on the government boat
Lookout and was met by Mr. Saun-
ders Fowler, who conducted most of
the correspondence with the govern
ment relative to this Improvement,
and other river men. Mr.. Fowler
| by request accompanied him up on
the Lookout to the Point for an in
spection.
During the past several years II
is alleged that the river has cut away
Livingston Point and thrown the
water against the Kentucky bank in
the milling districts and threatens tc
break up the excellent harbor here
and cut into the bank. This was
foreseen some time ago and the gov
ernment's attention was called to 1t.
This is the first step taken towards
remedying the defect, and it all de
ponds on the report of Major New
conner.

cENsURED BY HIS OWN BOARD

Mayor Yeiser cannot afford to
break off diplomatic relations" with
works. In the first place he appoint
ed them, and II he does not like their
line of talk he might suggest or de-
mand a few designations. In the
second place they are all three good,
able men and the people know 1t and
the mayor knows II. At least he
thought so when he appointed them,
and although he may have changed
his mind, the people haven't. The
truth is, or seems to be, that the
mayor is disappointed because these
members of the board of public
works cannot be twisted about his
finger like some of those whom he
has honored with positions on other
boards. The great underlying prin-
ciple of Yeiser appointments is that
the appointees must do as Yeiser
Wills. On this account the board OF
works may be disappointment to the
mayor. But the board is all. right.
Its work, its efforts, even its letters
discourteously given out to the
press before delivered to the mayor,
have been solely in the interest OF the
people. The mayor is not really
mad because the secretary of the
board gave out the official letter pre-
maturely. The real cause of his ire
is that the letter took some of his
hide of. II was the truth, and the
truth hurts.
The mayor instead of getting mad
at the board, should see that ordi-
nances affecting the public health,
comfort or general welfare are en-
enforced. They are being ignored

4 ROMANTIC MARRIAGE
Young Compile Married Last Night ut
Carolina Yacht Club.

A marriage tinged with considerable
romance took place at the Carolina
Yacht Club last night. the contracting
parties being Mr.. Walter Sneeden and
his first cousin, Miss Esther c. Snee-
den.
About $50 O'clock several gentlemen
were sitting on the porch at the club
Louise when a man walked up the steps
and asked if a magistrate could be
found there. One of the gentlemen
wished to know il a fight mad Occult
rsd. "a was informed that nothing Of
that nature had happened but that a
young couple wanted TO get married
and thought that a magistrate might
be found at the club house. Among
those who were on the porch was Mr..
Il. A. Parsley, and on this as all other
occasions when by IN act of kindness
be can make the life Of some n more
pleasant, he quickly began to search
for a person who had the right to the
title of squire. His efforts were not in
vain for in a very few minutes who
should he see but Squire Z. c. Cant
WE'LL The squire protested that he
had never married a couple in his life
and had rather be excused from such Il
task but his plea was in vain and he
good naturally agreed to make the
young couple man and Wife.
In the meantime the envoy who had
been sent to make arrangements was
patiently waiting on the porch. He
was told that q squire had been found
and was instructed to tell the couple
to come to the Carolina Club. In a
few minutes they arrived, a stalwart
young farmer and a blushing maiden
Of seventeen summers. In the center
of the large room of the club stood the
young couple as the marriage ceremc-
ny was performed, and gathered
around them were many members Of
the club who had gathered to witness
this romantic marriage. 1t was Squire
Cantwell's first offense, but he pre-
sided with as much grace and ease as
if it were a common occurrence with
him.
After the ceremony the anne Of the
witnesses were affixed to the marriage
license and the names appearing there
are NJ. S. Willard, r. A. Parsley, J.
VanB. Nets, j. H. Boatwright, An
crum Lord and James Walton
The happy young couple received
many congratulations from those as
seInbled at the club and they then
made their way to Lumina and drank
in the music. Both bride and groom
are from Greenville Sound.

x TO ITS UTMOST
SeashOre Hotel Was Crowded With
Guests Last Night.

The Sea Shore hotel was taxed to its
utmost last night to accommodate the
enormous crowd. Wrightsville Beach
is growing rapidly in popularity and
at the present rate it will take another
hotel to accommodate the crowd which
seeks this resort. 1t is something ur-
usual for a hotel on the beach to be-
come crowded this early in the season,
but from Saturday until Monday the
hotels at the resorts, and especially on
the seashore are more crowded than at
any other time.
The ball room at the Sea Shore was
a scene of gayety last night and many
stood at the windows and sat in the
ball oom and watched the dancers.
When the season opened Manager Hin
ton said he had secured the finest Or
chestra he had ever had and those who
have heard the orchestra say he made
a correct statement when he made this
announcement.

CHARGED WITIl FORGERY
Charged With Forging a Singer
Sewing Machine Lien for $24.

w. ". Leigh was arrested last night
upon a warrant sworn out by Mr.. D.
c. Horgan,of Macon, Ga, before Justice
Furlong in which he was charged with
forging the nam of one James Rope
to a Singer sewing machine lien. Ihc
amount for which the lien was drawn
was for S24.
Leigh came here some weeks aga
from Macon county, Georgia, and has
been working for Mr.. B. F. Keith at
Cronly. He was formerly employed by
the Singer people and is charged with
committing the above offense while in
their employ. Mr.. D. c. Horgan is a
representative Of the Singer Sewing
Machine Company.
Leigh is a married man and has one
little girl He was arrested late last
night by Constable Savage at his home
at Second and Davis streets. He pro-
tested that he knew nothing Of The
crime with which he was charged.
Leigh's wife is said to have broken
down when her husband was placed I'M
der arrest and it was indeed a sad
scene TO see a poor mother and her 1t
tie child, who lay upon the bed sleep
ing peacefully, left in the house alone,
far from friends, and the husband, the
father, carried to Jail. The poor wom-
an was almost neartbroken and the
husband no doubt suffered equally as
much.
If Leigh will agree to return to Geor-
gia without requisition papers he will
probably be carried back today by CCn-
stable Savage.
