An Address.

To the citizens of Lexington county:
Fellow Citizens. Under the pro-
visions of the Brice law numerous
petitions were sent out last fall ask
ing for an election on the dispensary.
Thirty.seven of these petitions with
an aggregate of 1877 signatures
were turned over to the Supervisor,
aud We hold his voucher for them.
marked Correct" And We have
good reason to believe that be holds
two other petitions for which We have
no voucher. Yet, no election has
been ordered. There are times in
the history of progress when the
right has to bide it's time. Such
8 condition seems to exist in our
county today. Our forefathers met
such q time in their history and
they quilted themselves like men.
Shall We do less today? Their mo'ivss 8
were censured their petitions We Q
ignored and they we're ridiculed.
The provisions of the Brice law were
not made for the primary nominating
election. No election for the removal
or establishing of dispensaries will
stand the test of the courts, but that
held in accordance with the Brice
law. Let US then not be wrecked by
going into the primary. The expert
ence of the past tells US that majori-
ties against whiskey in the primary
election do not count.
Very respectfully,

Beautiful Marriage.

Lexington shares interest with
Columbia in the marriage of Miss
Lucille Irene Willie. of Columbia, and
Mr.. Olin Charles Rogers, Of Macon,
Ga. The bride being grand daugh-
ter of Lexingtonian- The wedding
was very quiet, yet very pretty,
indeed. Last Wednesday morn
ing at II O'Clock many friends
gathered at the beautiful little
church of the Associate Reformed
Prestyterians, ON Laurel Street, to
witness the marriage. Graceful
ferns, palms and lilies we're attract
lively arranged around the altar. As
the first notes of Mendelshon's we'd
ding march, under the skillful rendi-
ticn OF Miss Hattie Smithdeal, were
sounded, the doors of the vestibules
we're thrown open by four little boys
of the church, while the ushers sd.
vanced followed by the maid OF honor,
Miss Bsulsh Wills, sister of the
bride. The bride entered with her
father and was met at the altar by
the groom with his best man, Mr..
W. P. Roof, Jr, of Lexington. The
marriage ceremony as performed by
the Rev. j. P. Knox was solemn,
beautiful and impressive. The we'd
ding party went directly from the
church to the union station, where
the happy couple, under shower OF
congratulations and good wishes, left
for their future home in Macon, Ga.
The bride wore handsome eton
travelling costume of marcelee lams-
downe with lovely hat of old rose
braid, ribbon and roses. The maid
of honor was attired III delicate green
silk null, with soft hat and girdle of
the same lovely shade. Orange bios
som boutonnieres worn by the BRIDE
groom and ushers were grown by q
lady of Columbia.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
T. E. n. Wills. of Columbia, and
granddaughter of Mr.. S. N. Hen
dirk, formerly of Lexington. The
groom, MIR. O. G Rogers, of Macon,
Ga, is a young man of sterling quail
tiles and promising business abilities.
Thus Columbia again loses one of
her fair daughters, while Macon wins
