quietly married Wednesday morning

gowned in her travelling suit of dark
blue and becoming hat of an
early spring model. Her flowers
were orchids and valley lilies.
This marriage, though very quietly
observed and with no previous an
nouncement of it's approach, is of
widespread interest, for both the
bride and groom have many friends
throughout the state.
The bride, whose home is in Ath-
ems, where she is very popular, has
spent the last two years in Atlanta.
Mr.. White is one of the most sue
cessful business men of Athens and
is prominently connected with many
enterprises over Georgia.

HIGH SCHOOL HAD
ENJOYABLE PROGRAM
In Commemoration of the South's
Two Greatest Generals, Robt. E.
Lee and "StonewalP' Jackson.


Lee and "Stonewall' Jackson.
An unusually large audience en-
joyed the interesting program on Lee
and Jackson last Friday morning at
1920 o'clock at the high school au-
ditorium. The exercises were in
charge of the high school, each mem
Der of the upper grades taking part.
Each number showed careful prepar-
alton and excellent training.
A portrait of Stonewall Jackson
was presented to the school by the
Mary Brantley Chapter, U. D. C.
For the success of the program
much credit is due Mrs. Frank Sher-
man, who directed the Kinder Sym
phony orchestra, and to Miss Kitty
Allen, who directed the Gibson or
chestra. These numbers were espe-
cially appreciated by the audience.
At the conclusion Of the program
Judge j. G. Parks made a very i'm
pressive talk. He told of how the
news of Lees death was received in
Dawson. At that time Judge Parks
was school boy, and his description
of the scenes that took place was
both interesting and touching.
After the program the school en-
joyed a half-holiday.

MANDAMUS PROCEED
INGS BEGUN TODAY

Washington, Jan. 29.-Man.
damus proceedings were begun
today in the supreme court by
Virginia authorities against
West Virginia's legislative as
sembly to compel levying of a
tax to pay the supreme court
judgment of $12,393,000, with
interest, adjudged to be West
Vlrginia's proportion of the
Virginia debt in 1861, when
West Virginia was formed.
Papers in the extraordinary
proceeding, without precedent
in American Jurisprudence,
were received by the court, but
no action was taken today.
A ruling is expected next
Monday and if Virginia is Civ
en- leave to file the mandamus
suit, West Virginia probably
will be given time to show cause
whya writ should not be issued.
Reopening of the case may re-
suit as West Virginia has offset
claims it desires to present.
Virginia's petition, present
ed today by Attorney General
Pollard and others, charges that
West Virginia is tenporlzing
III respect to the supreme court
decree, given in 1915, and does
not intend to provide for pay
ment Of the judgment within
the near future.
Therefore the court is asked
to order the West Virginia SEN
ate and house of delegates forth
with and at the present session
of the legislature to levy a tax
upon the property within West
Virginia sufficient to provide
for the payment of the decree
and judgment, with interest. AS
an alternative, the petition asks
that the present legislature be
ordered to issue bonds to meet
the Virginia judgment.
The supreme court refused
over a year ago to issue a writ
of execution for attachment of
West Virginia property in salts
faction Of his judgment, with
holdino action until after the
meetinr Of the present legisla-
ture.

signifed their intention Of being
present. This representative
gathering of West Virginians,
together with experts from the
national government, the vari-
Gus other states and colleges
means the most successful gath
ering of road men ever held in
this state.
The subjects which will be
discussed are of vital interest
to all and from this standpoint
alone no public official can af-
ford to miss these meetings.
In addition to the value of
the purely technical features the
opportunity of meeting the men
who are leaders of the road
movement in our country will
prove an education within it.

STATE TO GET $4,000
FEDERAL HIGHWAY HELP

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 25.-
West Virginia's share of the ap-
portionment of $4,000, 900
made by the Federal govern
ment to aid in the construction
of permanent highways is $780,
$40, according to information
received here from Washington
by A. D. Williams, chief road en-
gineer of the state. This APP
portionment is for 1918. Out of
the 1917 apportionment, West
Virginia received little over
$4,000. The two apportion-
ments will be combined and next
July l, this state will have al
most 100000 for road improve
ments given by the Federal gov
eminent alone.
1t was in anticipation of this
opportionment that the commit
tees on roads and navigation of
the West Virginia legislature
held a point conference and en-
dorsed number of propositions.
They agreed to the creation of a
joint subcommittee Of three
members from each house, be-
ing also three from each the
Republican and Democratic
party. to take all bills, the code
and all available information to
draft a complete and up-to-date
road law.
These committees also agreed
to the creation of a state road
fund, and to turn into that fund
all motor taxes to be used on the
main roads, and apportioned
with the federal funds accord
ing to the mileage of the main
roads. 1t was also agreed to
establish a county seat road Sys-
tenn covering the entire state,
and to establish state road
commission composed of four
members, all experienced high
way engineers, to devote their
entire time to the roads of the
state. This board is to be BIZ
partisan.
