Rock HILL, January 12.-The mar
riage of Miss Addie Hutchison Rawlin-
son to DIR. James Richard Stokes was
solemnized Wednesday evening at 7
o'clock, by the brides pastor, Rev.
Walter L. Lingle of the Presbyterian
church, assisted by brother Of the
groom, the Rev. Peter Stokes, Of the
Methodist church of Bamberg. The
home Of the brides PARENTS Col. and
Mrs. Walter Rawlinson was most
deliberately adorned for the occasion.
The floors of both the parlors, the
dining rooms and hall were covered
with white cloth, which was brought
up to meet the white walls, while In
every available place was a net work
of ivy leaves interspersed with hun
dreds of white roses. The whole illu-
minated with a myriad Of lights made
the scene seem almost fairy like.
The maid of honor was Miss Marion
Johnson and the best man, Mr.. Hugh
Stokes, of Arizona, another brother
of the groom. Mrs. Joel w. Rawlin-
son, Of Rock Hill and Mrs. Agnes
Brabham, Of Bamberg, were the
danes of honor and little Miss Mar
garet Law and Master Frank Crawford
were the ribbon carriers. To the
ceremony were hidden only small
number Of close friends, the family
and bridal party but later on re-
ception was held which a large num-
ber of friends attended. The display
of presents was magnificent, one OF
the largest and handsomest ever seen
here. Miss Rawlinson Is the only
daughter Of the family and has a
large circle of frie ads both here and
over the state. DR.. Stokes, is pop
ular young dentist who made his home
here three years ago and who Is one
Of the most popular members OF socie-
ty in the city. At 1890 o'clock,
speeded literally by showers of rice
the young pair left on the Southern
for Early Branch, Hampton county,
the old home Of the groom. where
they will spend a week with relatives.
Visitors from a distance present
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Myers and
Miss Mary Morgan Myers, OF Char
lotte, n. c.. Miss Leila Barnes, Mr..
Frank Barnes and Mr.. Arthur Good
win, Of Greenville; Miss Jean Davis.
of Charlotte; Miss Nell Hammer, Of
Gadsden; Mr.. Henry Stokes of Hamp-
ton; Mr.. George Stephens, OF Char
lotte.
Mention was made in this cores
pondence last week Of the arrest and
conviction Of Tom Murray, colored,
driver Of the Southern Express wag-
on in the matter Of transporting
whisky consigned to a ficticious ad-
dress. AS a sequel to that occur
renee, route agent Faub visited here
day or two ago and made an In
vestigation of the office with the re-
suit that Murray and another en-
ploye lost their jobs. 1t was thought
at the time that it would be hard for
Murray to work his game without
collusion and so 1t proved.

Hal Brown, colored. who Is one OF
the bright lights in religious circles
was arrested by police officers charg-
ed with selling whisky. The evidence
upon which the arrest was made was
the statement made by another COL
ored individual whom the officers
had found drunk. This boy, who
happened to be the nephew Of
Browns wife, at first claimed that
he had ordered the booze, but when
the officers started to take him where
he could verify the statement he
