PRETTY AFTERNOON WEDD|Ae
Miss Elizabeth Payne Becomes
Bride of Mr.. Aubrey Parsley.
Wedding was Quietly Celebrated at
Home. in Presence of Relatives and
Reconsideration Impromptu Re
ccption Held Afterwards.

At a quarter Of six yesterday after
J. F. Payne, on South Fourth street,
Miss Elizabeth Payne was united in
marriage to Mr.. r. Aubrey Parsley,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
r. w. Hogue, rector of st. James
Episcopal church, in the presence IF
the families and a few intimate friends
OF the contracting parties
The front parlor, where the wedding
took place WAS beautifully decorated
with southern smilax, palms and
ferns, and an improyised altar, of
white was formed before which the
vows were spoken, directly above the
altar being suspended a large wedding
bell, made ON smilaX, holly and chry-
santhemums, which has been used in
marriages in the Parsley family for
many years.
Several silver candleabra were
placed On the altar and in various
parts Of the room and the soft lights
from many candles made the scene Il
remarkably pretty one.
The bride was attended by her two
sisters, Mrs. Cameron F. MacRae as
dame of honor and Miss Mary Payne
as maid of honor. She was given
away by her brother, Mr.. j. Harvey
Payne. The groom was accompanied
by his best man, Mr.. r. B. Davis.
The bridal marches were beautifully
rendered by Miss Belle Anderson on
the piano and Mr.. Cameron MacRae
on the violin, Lohengrin being played
for the entrance and M~endelsohnn's
chorus for the exit of the bridal party.
Immediately after the ceremony,
there was a delightful impromptu re-
ception held, to which had been in
vited quite a number Of the young
friends of the bride. The newly mar
ried couple then were driven In car
riages to the Front street station while
amidst showers OF rice, they left on
the Atlantic Coast Line for a honey
moon trip to New York. On their re-
turn to the city, Mr.. and Mrs. Parsley
will live 1t 211 South Fourth street.
The brides costume was OF white
messelaine, made princess style, and
she carried lillies-of-the-valley and
ferns as her bouquet. The dame OF
honor wore green crepe de chine and
carried white carnations, and the maid
of honor vas gowned in white organ
die, with green girdle, and carried
white carnations.
A beautiful display of wedding pres
ents attests the esteem of many
friends.
Among the out of town guests in the
city to attend the wedding are:
Mrs. P. E. Scott of Neaberry, S. c.,
Miss Kate Broadfoot of Fayetteville,
Mrs. Walter Rutland of Tarboro, Mrs.
Thos. H. Blount of Washington, N. c.,
and Messrs. Harvey Payne Of Roches-
ter, New York, and Robert B Davis
of Rocky Mount.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
What President Spencer Did for the
Company.

The growth OF the Southern railway
company since its organization in 1894
has been phenomenal. Mr.. Spencer
left the firm Of DrexeI, Morgan & Co.,
where he had been a partner since
1888, to become its president, and from
the first its growth vas rapid. During
the last II years the Southern railway
has increased its equipment over 200
per cent.
In 1894. when the first consolidated
mortgage for s120, 600 900 was created,
the financial requirements were esti-
mated for a system OF 400 miles. A
new mortgage, to be known as the
Southern Railway Development and
general mortgage has been created in
a total authorized amount of $500, O00,-
600, of which s185, 900, 600 is to be re-
served and SIS, 900 900 issued imme-
diately. The large growth of traffic
on all the lines in the last few years,
and the rapid development Of the en-
tire south will, of course, necessitate
improvements and extensions upon a
scale much larger than heretofore. and
it readily may be understood that it
will take d man OF big brain to deal
with them. As to the necessary
money, that already is provided for.
From 1909 to 1906 the gross venue
OF he system was increased from S42,-
354,059 TO $53.641.439 and the net from
S11,3G4,919 10 s13, 1858, 300. On Septem-
Der 30 last the profit and loss account
of the company stood at $8,172,53 The
capital stock Of the Company is $780,
100000 and the funded debt approx
L1ately the same. Up to the present
time the total cost of the road is put
at $3.50. 76S, $40, showing that $685.
BIC had been added within II months.
IN that same period S2,S60, 79S was
spent on equipment.-New York Com

Engineer Kinney. of Train No. 81.
Talks of Wreck.

The almost miraculous escape from
death which Engineer Kinney, Of train
No. 81, the engine which plunged into
the Spencer vestibule Of No. 50 neal
Lawyers station yesterday morning,
has been the subject Of much comment
here, where the kidneys are well
known and highly regarded.
The engineer, as he sat in the smok-
er of No. 81, which reached here at
7:3O O'Clock last night, declared that
he could have brought his er CINE safe
ly On, but the doctor said he had better
take a rest Of a day or two.
As he sat cool and collected in his
seat, smoking his cigar, he explained
his escape by saying that his time lad
not come. I've been in ten wrecks"
he said; land never one of my own.
and [ haven't had my call yet, but
suppose when [ get in a wreck of my
ow nmaking the jig will be up with
me.
Now, [ do not mean by that hat
nobody gets killed except them as is
to blame. But there are two kinds Of
luck that follows engineers, enc gets
hurt always of tehir doing and an
other gets hurt by somebody else, GER
tain and sure.
Il belong to the set that helps to
bring their own destruction. and as I
am always bearing this il my mind, I
am always mighty careful, and really
do not fear for myself SO long as I
can keep my head up"
The Kinney family is an interesting
n in the railroad world. The origi-
nal, and father Of the Kinney boys"
Jerome Kinney, is now living in
brownsville, where the family was
reared.
