ACTION RULED OUT
OF COUT.

Greensboro, Nov. ia suit for di-
vcrce brought by Henry B. Warner
prominent Lexington man and pub
Usher of the Lexington Dispatch,
against his wife, Mrs. Florence Var
ner, based on ALLEGED infidelity, is
null, according to a decision made by
Sam J. Smith, clerk Of the court of
Davidson county.
The decision was made. ON October
4. but no publicity has attended it un
til today when a telephone message
from Mr.. Smith to a local newspaper
confirmed rumors that the suit had
been thrown out.
It was thrown out on account Of a
legal technicaEty. the law requiring
that six months elapse after the com
yorce can be filed. Warner filed his
suit tco soon. Mr.. Smith ruled.
ILa rift in the affairs of the Warner
family happened early in August
when, it is alleged by attorneys rep
resenting the we'll known man, a well
known Lexington negro, Baxter Nc
Rary, was found in his home while
he was absent from tao city. Mr..
Warmers side Of the -Ten
wide publicity and the affair. tie most
sensational in months, created much
discussion. Just a week ago Mrs.
{aillaf. who had gone t. the home OF
her mother in Salt Lake City, filed
her answer to the charge and at the
same time Instituted suit for $4,000
against her husband. All the charges
" a7a ~ t1a allegation of the husband
were denied by the wife, Who at the
same time made charges of her own.
Warmer, Immediately after annOunc-
ing that he would sue for divorce, filed
suit for 100000 against MeRrary,
wealthy negro, for running his home,
later announcing that if a verdict
were favorable to him, the amount
would be given to any charity desig-
mated Whether the action of the Da-
wilson county clerk of court will do
other than delay the suit for divorce
and Mrs. Varner's counter action re-
mains to be seen.

GOOD MEETINGS IN PROGRESS.

Despite the bad weather Friday
night a large congregation greeted
the sermon of DR.. John Jeter Hurl at
the First Baptist church.
The preacher chose as the text FOR
his sermon, "I am not ashamed OF the
gospel of Jesus Christ" DR.. Hurt
lauded the fact that the United States
is led by Christian men, who pray to
God for aid in the guidance OF this
nation. He said that it had made his
heart swell with pride when he was
told some months ago by a states
man. that Woodrow Wilson prays
consistently to God. When the world
war was coming to crisis, this
statesman had come unheralded into
the presidents room, and there he
found the president, with Secretary
Lansing and two others, down on
their knees in prayer.

the school superintendent scout coun-
Gil and appointing assistants for him

Of the best things ever done by the
organization.

rectors there was considerable discus

EX-MAYOR MURPHY IN
LEAD FOR POSTOFFICE

Authentic advice received here
from Washington are to the effect
that the applicants for positions of
postmaster at Winston-Saiem and
Greensboro have been rated by the
civil service commission, although
there is no indication when the ap-
pointments will be made by the Pres
ident. Whether these appointments,
if made, will be confirmed by the
senate is problematical, since there
are reports in Washington that the
Republican senate will confirm very
few Wilson appointments during the
next three months.
1t is learned that at Winston-Sa-
lem John R. Walker is first on the
eligible list and presumably likely to
get the appointment. He is a few
points ahead of N. L. Crawford, the
second eligible.
At Greensboro the examination put
Thomas J. Murphy at the head of the
list. Charles G. Harrison comes Sec
ond and Joseph H. Armfeld third
Mr.. Murphy is said to be about three
points ahead of Mr.. Harrison, while
only about one point separates Mr.,
Armfeld from Mr.. Harrison.
1t has been understood that all
postoffce appointments were being
held up pending the election. Though
these appointments are under the
civil service there is opportunity for
the Republican senate to decline to
act on Wilson nominations, on one
excuse or another, and President
Harding is privileged to revise the
method Of naming postnasters if the
Republicans want the spoils Of war;"

March BY Chimes.
ThomasvilIe, Nov. f3.-Sonething
absolutely novel in the way Of we'd
ding occurred here this evening, when
Miss Virginia Elizabeth Luffey be-
came the bride of George William
Haldeman in ceremony that includ-
ed the use of airplanes for bridal
carriages, bell-tower as the organ
loft and set Of chimes as the in
strunent on which the wedding march
was PLAYED.
Mr.. Halderman, whose home is in
Lakeland, Fla, is an exhibition flyer
His two attendants, Waldo S. Boyd,
of Maine, and Frederick B. Cam, of
New Hampshire, are members of the
same perilous profession. All three.
came to Thomasville in planes, and
the bridal party will return to Flor
ida tomorrow the same way. Miss
LUffey was also from Lakeland, and
she had become accustomed to flying
long before her eventful wedding.
The bride is a niece Of DR.. J. w.
Peacock, of Thomasville, and it was
at the home Of DR.. and Mrs. Peacock
that the wedding proper was cele-
brated, Rev. w. A. Lambeth, of High
Point, officiating. The ceremony it
self was. pretty home affair, con-
ventional enough. Mrs. R. W. Crews
played the wedding music, and also
the accompaniment for Miss Nell
Morris charming solo.
The unusual part Of the affair came
Immediately prior to the solo, when
Mr.. Haldeman, Miss Luffey, Mr.. Boyd,
who acte as best man, and DR.. Pea
cock, as representative of the brides
family, TOOK 10 the air in two ma
chimes and circled the bell-tower Of
Wesley Memorial church, in High
Point, while the bell-ringers played
Mendelssohn's wedding march and the
one from Lohengrin on the chimes,
A few minutes later the party was
back. at DR.. Peacock's Thomasville
residence, seven miles away, and the
ceremony proceeded.
It is believed to be the first time
in the history of North Carolina that
a bride has heard her wedding music
played by chimes that were below, in
stead of above her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haldeman will start
tomorrow for an airplane honeymoon
down the Atlantic coast to Key West,
when they will hop over into Cuba
to conclude the tour.
Mr.. HaIderman was in the air SER
vice Of the United States during the
war, and in the aviation camps ac-
quired mastery. of his ship which he.
has been developing ever since. The
flying that he did in connection with
his wedding was very matter-o -of-fact
work for him, since his profession is
exhibition flying = abrobatics of all
descriptions, including the hazardous
transfer from one machine to another,
and similar stunts.
