A bride-to-be never had a more
ideal wedding day, and the incoming
trains brought quite number of
visitors for this happy event. AS
the guests arrived they were greeted
at the front entrance by Miss Maude
Pratt and II. l.. Clinkscales, and as
sembled in the reception hall, the
east and west parlors. The entire
lower floor was tastily decorated in
the dainty bridal colors, white and
green, OF graceful ferns, palms and
cut flowers, except the east parlor,
where the beautiful crimson SALIVA
and carnations predominated. Here
Mrs. A. d. Calhoun welcomed each
guest, and they were served delicious
fruit punch by Misses Christine South
and Annie Law Marshall. In this
room also was the magnificent array
OF wedding gifts Of china, cut glass,
silver and embroidered lines. Con-

cut Court in it's judgment, however,
means that the prior riparian rights
Of the respondent McMahan are held
to have been restricted or abridged
by the erection Of a dam by the
Power Company, whose property, re-
Gently developed for electrical trans
mission purposes, lies about three
miles above the property of McMa-
han. The contention in this case was,
by McMahan, that his mill interests
were interfered with by reason Of the
upper development shutting off the
water from his wheels during the
day.
The contention Of the Power Com
pany was that their (the upper) RI
parian rights were not subject to
those of McMahan, the lower owner;
that he must make his development
conform to more modern methods b.
erecting a dam sufficient to impound
the water, thus preserving his rights
on The stream, instead Of seeking to
utilize only the natural flow thereof
without impounding the water.
The Circuit Court held that the
Power Company was liable to McMa-
han for damages so long as water was
impounded to his Inconvenience, and
the supreme Court afiirms this de-
cision.
Mr. McMahan was represented by
NJ. c. Long, the Power Company by
r. r. Jaynes.

counties recorded, the vote stands:
For Prohibition 3O.487
For Local Option ....13,1l2
The vote is above that usually cast
in general elections, but far below
that in the Democratic primaries.
The total will probably be between
sixty and seventy thousand.
Charleston county, which contains
The metropolis Of the State, has gone
decisvely local option. In that coun-
ty the vote stood nearly 10 to |
against Statewide prohibition.
Richland county, in which is To-
Gated Columbia, The capital and sec
ond city of the State, went largely
for prohibition, the returns, with the
bulk OF the vote accounted for, be-
ing Liza for prohibition to TO
against. The larger towns Of the up
country have long been prohibition
territory, and their votes added to
the majority piled up in these coun-
ties.
In Dorchester, small county
which now has the dispensary sys-
tenn, the local option vote Is a few
larger than that for prohibition, but
later returns may change this.
The fifteen counties which now
have dispensaries are Aiken, Bam-
berg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Calhoun,
Charleston, Dorchester, Florence,
Georgetown, Jasper, Lexington, Or
angeburg, Richland, Union and Will
liamsburg.
OF these Aiken, Calhoun, Florence,
Jasper. Lexington, Georgetown, Or
angeburg, Richland, Union and Will
liamsburg have voted for Statewide
prohibition. Charleston has voted
against it, and the others are still in
doubt
Under the law covering the cleo
ton to-day, in which the choice was
between Statewide prohibition and
local option by counties under the
dispensary system, the dispensaries
in wet counties must go out Of ope-
ration December 81 next.

RUSH MADE FOR
BARGAIN HUSBANDS

Berlin, July 2.-Thc war has given
sudden and unprecedented impetus
to the marriage brokerage game,
and advertisements for husbands
war invalids in many cases-were
never so plentiful as at present. Many
women exhibit an irrepressible desire
to get married right away and appear
to be quite unconcerned about the
kind of husband they get.
individually women who want to get
married at any cost are not the only
ones, however who have taken ad-
vantage fthe unusual situation. The
more or less shady matrimonial
agencies are making hay while the
sun shines, and apparently. stop at
nothing in order to turn questionable
pfennig,
Thus many have in some manner,
secured the names and addresses of
women whose husbands have been
killed at hte front, and intrude upon
their grief with brazen offers of sec
ond husbands Tie men for the most
part are mere adventurers, but in a
few cases are invalided soldiers, either
anxious for a home or beguiled into
letting their names be used.
