MISS MARCuBANKS' ADDRESS

This occasion marks one OF the most
pleasing cpochs OF my life. The oppor-
tunity OF addressing so large body
OF intelligent people on Il subject so
dear to the heart OF every American
citizen, is indeed one OF great pleas
ure.
You have met in loving and patri-
Otic communion, the brave men
against whom you struggled, and you
have come together to drop leaves of
healing on the past and future. The
cordiality Of your greeting, your un-
bounded hospitality and your knight
ly welcome, have touched these chords
Of sympathy and fraternity which
better than words can tell are told in
the trembling lips and misty eyes OF
those who are here from the South
and those who are here from the
North.
Wherever In this vast asscmblagc a
gray uniform is seen we know in
stinctively that the coat Is buttoned
across breast that heaves and signs
with soldicrly sympathy. The hand
extended Is a hand OF welcome.
The words uttered are words Of sim
cerity and truth that your sympathics
are our sympathies, that your mUnu-
mcntS are our monuments, that the
flag Is the emblem of our common
heritage, the shrine of our common
devotion.
Blessed is the country whose sol
dicrs fight for it, who are willing to
give the best they have, the best any
man has, his own dear life, to protect
it. Such an army the United States
has always commanded. The hearts
Of the brave boys of '6l were kindlcd
with true American patriotism,
famed by the rays OF hope and fed by
the oil OF glory till it burst forth in
the dazzling ctfulgcncc OF the great
est army Of modern times.

The day which pcrpctuatcs the

On reaching the park the Grand

was the drill by the firing squad after
which the members OF the G. A. Il.

The Aneients and Electricity.

A writer in the Elektrotechnische
Anzeiger cites many incidents to
show that electricity was not un-
known to the ancients and that
Georg Ebers' suggestion in novel
that the Egyptians made use Of
lightning conductors was well
founded. Instruments much like
the modern heliograph were also
used. the writer says, by priests as a
means Of communication between
temples. There can je no doubt,
he says. as to the temple having
been protected BY lightning rods.
The Biblical descriptions show that
the roof was provided with metallic
points held aloft by columns and
that these points, ending in chains.
terminated in great water tanks.
He adds. "All of which is vouched
for in the first book of Kings and
the second book Of Chronicles"

Mr. Phelps is an expert machinist
and has been making periodical
trips here for several years and his
friends are greatly surprised at his
conduct in the light of present ap-
pearances, at least. A telegram was
received yesterday morning from an
attorney at Ashboro, n c, who Mr.
Phelps said represented Mrs Phelps
No. in the divorce proceed
ings, stating in substance that no
such proceedings had been institut-
ed, so far as he knew.
1t being reported that MIR Phelps
wife was living in Greensboro, n G,
Sheriff Graham wired the chief of
police there, stating what had oc-
Cured here and asking for informa-
ton. Up to this time "Wednesday
afternoon no reply has been forth
coming.
Meantime Mr. Phelps is confined
to his bed at the Kellahan hotel,
, with one-half of his body paralyzed
and a warrant pending for his
arrest. There is no doubt that he
is very sick man and the excite
ment and worry attending the affair
has not helped his condition. Ger
tainly unless he improves he is in
no condition to be taken to Jail.
From several stand-points the sit
uation is painfully embarrassing.
The people of Kingstree have tried
to be humane in dealing with this
case, having given the man charged
with the serious crime of bigamy
every opportunity to clear himself,
offering to communicate by wire
with any one who could vouch for
his innocence, but it now seems that
the coils are Tightening about the
unfortunate man and that he must
pay the penalty of the law.
In response to an inquiry tele-
graphed the clerk of court of Gull

boro is the county Seat) Sheriff
Graham received the reply: No

rpAvEJJNG SALESMAN CHARG-
ED WITH BIGAMY--IS Sc
RIOUSLY I'LL AT HOTEL.

Kinpstree, March 29:-A W
Phelps, a travelling salesman for the
international Harvester Company,
lies seriously i'll at the Kellahan
hotel in this town, while Sheriff
Graham holds warrant Of arrest,
charging him with bigamy, and
which will be served as soon as
Phelps is sufficiently recovered to
be removed 20 the Jail.
Three marriages were performed
here on Easter day, one of which
was that of A w Phelps to the
daughter of a respectable farmer,
living a few miles from Kingstree.
The couple took the train at 9:l2 on
Sunday night, going to Lanes, and
spent the night there. On Monday
they came back to Kingstree, Phelps
having suffered slight stroke OF
paralysis, and put up at the hotel.
Meanwhile the Rev w E Hurt, OF
the Baptist church, who had per-
formed the ceremony and to whose
congregation the young lady belong
ed. received information that Phelps
wss not legally entitled to contract
marriage, as he then had a wife
living in North Carolina. Mr. Hurt
promptly began an investigation
which uncovered facts sufficient to
warrant him in going to Phelps and
charging him with having practiced
a gross fraud, both on the minister
and the innocent girl. Phelps ad-
niitted that he had been married,
but was divorced at Greensboro, N
/ C. When the minister, however,
offered to wire the clerk of court at
{ Greensboro for proof of this state
ment, Phelps objected saying the
clerk of court might be dead and
please to wait until he was recover
ed from his attack, when he would
straighten the matter.
Investigation further disclosed the
fact that Phelps had told other par
ties here that he was married. These
facts unfoI -nately only came to
knowledge Monday morning afterthe
ceremony had been performed. The
father of the young lady was COM
municated with, and came at once
to the hotel and laid the facts before
his daughter. The poor girl is, of
course, crushed and mortified, as
are also her parents. She returned
home with her mother about sun
down, and on the advice of the So
licitor her father swore out war
rent, charging Phelps with bigamy,
and he is at present under the
supervision of Sheriff Graham.
The Sheriff this morning wired
->the clerk of court at Greensboro to
know if Phelps had been divorced
there, as he claims. If he cannot
set himself straight before the pre-
liminary, which will be held later,
he will have to face Williamsburg
jury on charge of bigamy.
The foregoing article clipped from
the News and Courier gives the
salient facts of a sensational and
unfortunate affair which has stirred
up the people of our peaceable and
law-abiding community more than
anything of the kind that has trans
pfred here in long time. Out of
consideration for the young lady
and her family, who live near town
and who are newcomers to our
county, we withhold the name of
