Rock Hill, September 3.-The home
of Mr.. Foster Wood on West Main
street was the scene Of beautiful
marriage ceremony Wednesday night,
when his daughter, Miss Beuna Vista,
became the bride Of Mr.. John H. Wat
performed by Rev. H. r. Mills, pas
tor of ST. Johns NJ. E. church, in the
presence of a number Of relatives and
a few intimate friends. A bountiful
wedding supper was served immedl-
ately after the ceremony and at 1920
the couple left for an extended trip
north, after which they will return to
Greenville, their future home.
Another marriage Of much interest
in Rock Hill and this entire commu-
nifty was that on Wednesday evening,
at Ebenezer church, Of Miss Martha
Steele Smith, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. K. Smith Of Ebenezer, to Mr..
John J. Bales Of Pineville. The beau
tiful and Impressive ceremony, uniting
these two lives, was performed by
Rev. ]. T. Dendy, the brides pastor,
assisted by Rev. JOS. Wilson OF Bas-
comville, a former teacher at Ebene-
ger academy. Immediately after the
ceremony, the bridal party drove to
the home Of the brides parents, where
a reception was rendered and an ele-
CANT wedding supper was served,
about 200 guests being present. Later
In the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Bales
left on the north bound train for New
York city, where they will spend the
winter. At the time Of the death Oh
his father few years ago, Mr.. Bales
was taking a course in law In New
York, and he returns to that city now
to finish the course.
The minority members OF the ROCK
Hill school board, failed on Tuesday to
file a bond of $4,000 as required by
the order of Judge Memminger, thus
dissolving the injunction granted by
Judge Cage against the sale OF the
High School property to Winthrop
college, on motion Of the three minor
ity members of the board-Messrs.
Cherry Jones and Wilson. These gen.
tlemen, however, will continue their
fight against the sale Of that property
and the matter will come UP at the
November term of court for this coun-
ty. One of the majority trustees, Capt.
Roddey, having died since the board
voted to in favor Of selling the
property. The question for the court
to settle now Is, whether or not the
three surviving members OF the ma
jority can pass a title to the property
and proceed with the sale.
At the receivers sale on Tuesday OF
the entire plant and franchise OF the
local Water, Light and Power plant
the property was purchased py Mr, nal:
Martin Maloney Of Philadelphia, the
biggest bondholder Of the company
owning the plant, for $4,000. Mr..
Maloney was the only bidder on the
property. Mr.. Maloney promises TO
make all necessary improvements In
the plant at an early date and to fur.
nish an ample supply Of water for all
purposes. This Ia an old song to the
people Of Rock Hill, however, and mol
a few are inclined to attach but very
little Importance to these promises OF
improvements. 1t is hoped, however
that they will be carried out.
