cause the bill did not go through in

WEDDING BELLS At
THE WHITE HOUSE
Soon again with Secretary Nc
Adoo and Miss Eleanor
Wilson the Principals.
o. AsseelA1Eo raEeo,

WASHINGTON, d. c., March Il
Prospects of another White House
wedding became more definite today
with the persistent renewal of the
report that Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo and Miss Eleanor Randolph
Wilson, youngest daughter of the
president and Mrs. Wilson, were en-
gagged, the marriage to take place in
June.
There was no announcement from
the White House and when the atten-
ton of officials was drawn to the re-
port they RETAINED from making any
comment or denial. Secretary Nc
Adoo himself said it would be tndeli-
cate for him to comment on the sub
ject one way or the other.
Nevertheless official Washington is
taking it as a definite fact that an
other wedding at the White House
will be solemniZed in June after the
adjournment of Congress. Many per-
sons who know Secretary McAdoo
were not surprised at the report, be-
cause he has been a frequent SSclai
visitor at the White House during the
last year. Washington society has
observed the couple at many dance
as well.
Mr.. McAdoo is so years old while
Miss Wilson Is "a. He is widower
and has six children, one son and one
daughter being married. Recently a
grandson was born to his eldest
daughter When his second son,
Francis H. McAdoo, was married last
Spring President Wilson and his
family motored to Baltimore to at
tend the wedding.

An Appeal From MIR. T. A.
Owdom.

/ want to ask for a few more
words in your paper in regard to
getting a good road from Edgefeld
to Augusta. We should ask the
legislators to pass a special act to
the county boards of All
ken and Edge6eld te clay the road
from Belvedere to the l6-mile post.
I suppose $4,000 would do the
work and this would be of great
help to the fellow with the l-horse
and 4horse team and much to the
fellow with an auto. Any one from
80 to 35 miles can carry produc.
and return to Augusta in days
time. l know much of the needs of
this work being done On this sand
road for | have travelled it on foot,
horse back, in buggy and wagon
and if the law makers had to travel
1t and know how hard it is to ge,
along with a light load and how
hard it 10 on man and beast, they
surely would grant this r, quest. So
if we can't get the trolley line le,
Us have the sand and clay line.

was a God-fearing man, an active
member of McKendree church,
from which he will be buried this

He was staunch friend of Th,
