USRY-HUDSON.

Of interest to their MANY friends
in Americas and Sumter county was
the wedding Thursday evening of
Miss Annie Lou Usry and Mr. Ru-
dolph hudson, which was solemnized
in the home of the brides relatives,
Nj. and Mrs. Jack Usry, near Amer
icus.
Rey.~C. T. Clark, pastor of the
Methodist Church at Leslie, read the
ceremony which united them in
marriage.
A musical program was rendered
preceding the ceremony, with Mrs.
Jack Usry at the piano and Mrs. ].

We You Truly was sung as the
Bfide entered the living room where
the ceremony took place.
Simple decorations prevailed
throughout the pretty country home.
with the predominating touch of
sweet peas and larkspur.
An improvised altar COMPOSED of
trailing tendrlls of southern smilax
was interviewer among the lattice
work formed of white ribbon,
against a background of handsome
ferns. White unshaded candles
furnished a soft illumination for the
altar and the room On each side of
the altar posts, tall floor pedestals
were placed, covered with white, on
which rested French baskets filled
with white sweet peas, with tulle
bows tied to the handles.
The bride was picture of girlish
loneliness in her simple handmade
dress of soft white, her dark hair
confined with a coronet or orange
blossoms, and she carried a shower
bouquet of sweet peas and larkspur.
Following the ceremony. an infor-
NAL supper was served to the fifty
guests who witnessed the inter
change of vows, mos, of whom were
relatives of the bride. Out-of-town
guests were Mrs. E. H. Cordell, of
Mississippi, and Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Lindley and little Elizabeth Lindley,
of Americas.
The young couple will leave Tues
day for Ranger, Texas, where Mr..
Hudson is connected with one of the
largest oil concerns in that terri
tory.
Mrs. Hudson is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Usry, and has
a wide circle of friends who have
been won by her charming personal
ity and loneliness of character 1t is
a matter Of regret that her marriage
removes her from community in
which she is so universally loved.

MATE GOTTEN
BY ADVERTISING
PROVES FAILURE

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Mrs.
James Edward Miller, former
ly Joliet high school girl,
who gained notoriety six weeks
ago by successfully advertising
for husband who would edu-
cate her, last night disclosed
the ending Of her adventure
when she had her husband and
another girl arrested and an
nounced that her marriage was
a failure.
The husband, formerly a
barber, said he was glad to be
rid of the marriage and that
he had never paid his wife the
$4,000 she had requested for
completion of her schooling.
They separated soon after their
marriage, it was said, and were
living at different hotels. Mrs.
Miller today called her hus-
bands room by telephone and
a woman answered, saying she
was Mrs. Miller. The arrests
followed.
Miller charged that he was
not primarily at fault, as his
wife had left him and lived at
hotel in Waukegan, ILL.,, and
been friendly with a former
friend from Joliet. They made
UP this difference but soon
separated again.

in a hotel by George Honkins, who
then turned The gun on himself and
fired a bullet into his brain. Hon

Mrs. Blann lay dead on a bed, d
bullet through her Forehead. The
man lay unconscious on the floor

Mrs. Blann was employed as a

tault OF the sso-Japanese war,
took over Port Arthur, succeeding
to the Russian leasehold, and later
extending the term of It's duration,
together with the term of duration
of the railway concession, England
has been unable to fortify Wei
Hai-Wei without running the risk
of a war with japan, tas fortified
base there would constitute one of
the greatest possible dangers to
Japan.
-Hai-Wei Is opposite Port
Arthur, commanding with the lat
ter the entrance to the Gulf of
Pechihli, which controls Pellin and
vast hinterlands. The concession is
of no practical use to England un-
less it can be fortified, and 1t has
been taken for granted since the
conference here has been IN session
that she would return 1t to China.
At the present time, according to
British authorities on international
law, British law is administered in
the concession and the Chinese in
the concession owe allegiance to the
British administration rather than
to the Chinese government.

MURPHY WINNER
Of AUTO RACE;
MIL TON SECOND
ViCtcr Covers 250 Miles At
San Carlos Speedway, in
2 Hours, 10 Minutes and
II IL Seconds.
tBy The Associated Prtss.)

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. IL
Jimmy Murphy, San Francisco pilot,
winner Of the French grand prlX
last August, won the 250-mile inter-
national sweepstakes automobile
race at san Carlos speedway here
today. His time was two hours.
fifteen minutes and eleven and one
half seconds.
Tommy Milton was second.
! Eddie Hearne placed third, Harry
Hartz fourth and Ralph De Palma
fifth.
At times Murphy's speed was 113
miles an hour and his average for
the course, Ills miles an hour, Is
new world record The old mark
was 1897 miles an hour, establish
ed at the Los Angeles speedway
last Thanksgiving day.
The old mark was set by Eddie
Hoarne.
From the start the race was n
bitter struggle between Murphy
and Milton. Murphy took the lead
in the twenty-fifth lap and helG It.,
though hard lshed by Milton un-
til the 18th lap, when Milton had
to drop back.
Milton's second place. however,
will win him the national speed
championship for the year, race
officials announcing that he had
won enough points, with those
awarded for second today, to give
him the laurels.
De Palma's poor showing was
attributed to series of engine
and tire troubles that forced him
to the pits number of times.
There was but one accident In
the race. The crankshaft in the
machine pilotea by Frank Elliott
of Los Angeles, broke while he
was rounding a turn in the seven
ty-elghth lap, causing the car to
skid into the fence at the top of
the speedway track. The engine
was hurled forward out of the car
and over the fence. Elliott was
only slightly injured. His mech
anician, Harry Mckee, sustained
an injured leg.
The car Murphy drove today was
that In which he won the grand
prix race at Le Mans, France, In
August. Murphy's fastest mile, Vt
was announced was made in 80
