Notes and Comments About Matters
of Local Interest.
Gaffney Ledger, August 18: Some
little interest was excited Tuesday
afternoon when an automobile party
consisting of ex-senator John L. Nc
Laurin and family passed through
Gaffney. They were en- route to their
home at Marlboro. returning from
Hendersonville, N. c., where they have
been spending a few weeks. -. Mr..
James ]. Roberts of Shelby, N. c., a
son of the late c. c. Roberts, of the
North Carolina city and Miss Lena
Hogue, daughter of Mr.. VIM. Hogue,
also of Shelby, were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony in the office
of the probate judge in this city yes
terday. The ceremony was performed
by Judge Kirby and it is stated that
the marriage was a gretna green al
fair. Down in Laurens the other
day the mayor Of the town and one
Of his friends, who is also an official or
some kind, got on a spree and raised
disturbance, and threatened to shoot
the policemen who went to arrest
them. A brother of the mayor then
went to the newspaper office and de-
manded that the newspaper suppress
the news of the mayor. The police
men who made the arrest were AFTER
wards laid off, because the city did
not need their services. All OF whlch
goes to show that there are some peo-
pie who have been honored by their
constituency who are unappreciatiVe.
