TWO PRETTY WEDDINGS
OF LAST NIGHT
Social Events In Which
Many We're Interested.
KEILY-SIMS.

A marriage of much interest to
Americus, was that of Mrs. Straudie
Irene Sims and Mr.. A. C. Kelly, which
took place last evening at the home
of the bride on Church street
The pretty home was profusely de-
cOrated for the occasion, the color
scheme of pink and white being car
ried out in every detail
Just before the ceremony Miss Ethel
Schneider sang with much expression
The Sweetest Flower That Grows '
At the hour appointed the wedding
march was played by Prof. Mcneil,
and the bridal party entered.
Passing down an aisle of palms,
they stood before the improvised altar
where Rev. o. P Gilbert in an inn
pressive manner, made them man
and wife.
During the ceremony Prof. Mcneil
softly sang, "Oh, Promise Me-
The bride wore beautiful gown
of gray cloth, elaborately trimmed,
with brides roses in her hair.
During the evening dainty refresh
ments were served, by Misses Ethel
McMath and Georgia Harper, Miss
Foy Mott presided at the punch bowl.
Many presents of cut glass, silver
and china, bore witness to the popu-
larity of this esteemed young cou-
pie.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. P Persons and a favorite
among a wide circle of friends.
Mr.. Kelly is a successful and high
ly esteemed young business man OF
Americus. Since his removal to this
city few years ago, he has built up
a splendid clientele and firmly es-
tablished himself His Art Studio is
known throughout this section of
the country. His integrity, industry,
professional skill and affability have
won him many friends and insure fu-
ture success.

Line of Cleavage.

There are indications that the Nat
ional Committee will show cleavage
along Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt
lines. This does not mean that the
committee is opposed to what are
known as the Roosevelt policies, +"
for it seems to be admitted that
success for the party next year will
depend upon loyalty to the latter. 1t
means, however, that there is a strong
element in the committee opposed to
Mr. Roosevelt debating the nomina-
ton Of his successor and at present
that means opposition to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Taft.
1t has been intimated that the divis-
ion of the committee into Taft and
anti-Taft factions may be shown
in the selection of a convention city.
1t is said that the Taft men want
either Cincinnati or Kansas City, the
former because it is in Mr.. Taft's
State, and the latter because it is
the center of a Roosevelt and Taft
country. Chicago is said to be the
preference of the men opposed to
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt.

and by her sweet and gentle disposi-
ton has endeared herself to a large
circle of friends The many presents
attested the loving esteem in which
she is held.
Mr.. Patterson is a sterling young
man, holding the position of fore
man of the Southern Atlantic Car
Manufacturing Company, of Way
cross, Ga.
The bridal couple left on the 10:40
train for their home in Waycross,
where a reception will be rendered
them at the residence of Mrs. T. R.
Mcdonald.

TEsTTNG sIXTEEN-HOUR Law.
Putting It's Provisions in Operation
TO see How They Work.

From the Railway World
For the past two months the Rock
Island has been making a practical test
Of the sixteen-hour law, and the results
show that strict adherence TO the original
bin introduced in the Senate would COM
pei the railroads to change many division
terminals, would cause great deal Of
delay to traffic. and would compel the
railroads to hire many more engineers.
frcmen, conductors. and brakemen to
run the present number of trains. In the
aggregate the railroads would not pay
any more money TO the train crews, but
the average wages would be reduced be-
cause it would take more men to do the
work.
According to the Inter Ocean all Of the
railway presidents located III Chicago de-
clare they do not want any Of their men
employed or trains 70 work more than
sixteen hours without rest, and do not
object % tie passage of a law fixing that
as the maximum time of continuous serv-
ice. if provisions are made for exceptions
I'm case Of actual emergency. The COM
mittee OF the House of Representatives
has agreed, it is reported, 10 amend the
Senate bill so as to make the law less
rigid and provide that the railroads shall
not be subject TO penalty because en-
ployes work a fraction over sixteen
hours in a case Of necessity. Railway Off
Gals believe that the Senate will concur
readily in the amendments as to eXcep-
tional cases Of overtime which will be
made by the Lower House Of Congress.

As every one knows. the great Won
MOltke never wasted words and despised
anything that approached garrulity in
others. German army officers are fond
of telling an anecdote illustrative of this
popularity:
Won Moltke was leaving Berlin on rail-
way journey. Just before the train pulled
out Of the station captain of hussars
entered the generals compartment. and,
recognizing him. saluted with "Guten
MOTgen, eXceIlenZr'
Two hours later the train slowed I'D at
a way station. The captain arose, saluted
and with another "Guten Morgen, excel

greatest disgust: ''Intolerable gas bag"

REVERSIBLE ALIMONY.
Ruling of a south American Justice
I'm Wife DISCRETION Case.

IN a " AAC 0tSCEAAoh 1-ASN4
judicial decision which rivals some
of Sancho Panza's rulings in the Island
OF Barataria. is reported from Valparai-
so, in the correspondence Of a German
newspaper. The case was that of the
wife Of d fisherman and coastwise sailor
who was deserted by her husband shortly
before the birth of their first child.
The woman complained to the authori-
ties and the police were ordered to keep
a lookout for the truant They got him
after a few months. and he was hailed
before the alcalde and confronted with
his wife. who carried the baby in her
arms.
The facts in the case were undeniable;
the defendant did not attempt TO deny
them. It seemed as If nothing remained
for the magistrate but TO assess the
amount of alimony.
He paused, however, and reflected sol
EMMY for a while. Then he asked the
young woman:
What was your occupation before you
married this MANI"
Il was a servant girl. excellency." she
replied.
'-And what amount did you earn in those
days2''
Ten pesos a month, sir"
And, let me see, how have you sup
ported yourself since your husband dis
appeared"
Since the birth OF my boy, excellency,
I have taken a situation as a wet nurse"
And what may be your wages in that
position?'
I get thirty pesos a month, your
honor"
'Ah, So Wei, 1t seems to me the
merits of this case are very plain. In
becoming the husband of this young WO-
man the prisoner has tripled her capac-
ity for earning a livelihood. He has
plainly conferred a great benefit upon
her, for which it is only fitting that he
should be compensated. l therefore rule
that she shall pay him every month ten
pesos by way of honorarium; this still
leaves her twice as well of as she was
before marriage. Next case
