was banked with ferns and white roses
and n wedding bell was suspended
from the ceiling under which the bri-
dial couple took their marriage vows.
/ The wedding music was played by
Mrs. Boutwell, FAINT, Jr., sister of
the bride.
At the first notes Of Mendelssohn's
Wedding March the groom came in
with his best man, Ralph w. Atkin-
son, of Federal Point, Fla, and took
their places in front of the altar to
await the coming of the bride. She
entered with her dame Of honor, Mrs.
L. A. Gossett, and the words which
united these two lives were spoken by
the brides pastor, Rev. Lewis M. Rice,
using the beautiful ring ceremony
which was witnessed by the immedi-
ate families and near relatives.
The bride wore stylish and becom-
ing travelling suit of blue with blue
hat and accessories to match; and
carried a shower of white sweet peas
2nQ malQen nalr Terms,
She is the youngest daughter of the
late M. B. Meador and is prime fav-
crite with all who know her. Her
sweet, attractive manner has won hun
dreds of friends for her who regret
that she is to make her home so far
away.
The groom is native of Chester
county but moved to Florida seven
years ago to engage in truck farm
ing and has made decided success of
the venture.
During the World War he was with
the Third Division, 9Th Engineers, vol
unteering for service at the outbreak,
He is being warmly congratulated
upon his good fortune in winning SO
charming a bride.
Immediately after the ceremony a
wedding breakfast was served from a
beautifully appointed table and Mr.
and Mrs. McCollum left for Federal

of Chester; Ralph w. Atkinson OF
Federal Point, Fla, Mr.. and Mrs. L. G
Meador and Douglass Meador of I'm,
ion.

the three men is admissible only
against the man supposed to have
made the confession. Harrison, ac-
cording to the testimony of Shorter,
Heise and the other officers, was the
first man to admit completely in the
crime and it is from him, officers tes-
titled, that they secured detailed
story of the killing. Treece and JEFF
fords, officers said, had both admitted
participation in the Staying of Ar
nette, but, according to the testimony,
neither went into any minute descrip-
ton of the manner in which the deed
was accomplished or his alleged par
ticipation in it. This Of necessity un-
der the ruling of Judge Townsend
| has made the greater portion of the
evidence given by officers inapplicable
in the cases of Treece and Jeffords.
Every effort of counsel for Harri-
| son yesterday was to prove that Har-
rison's story, as recounted by the Of
ficers, was substantially true as the
state contends and that Harrison was
the first pedson to furnish officers
| with evidence as to who committed
| the crime. This was taken as an in
| dication that Harrison's defense will
be a plea for mercy on the grounds
that without him the perpetrators
of the crime would have escaped pun
| ishment. To add still more weight
| to this plea and to coroborate in omre
detail his version of the killing Har-
rison is therefore expected to take
the stand today and this action on
his part, it is predicted, will probably
bring one or both of the other two
defendants to testify in defense of
the charges against them as contain
ed in Harrison's statement, as now
| known to the court through officers,
to whom it is alleged to have been
made.
Each defendant will conduct his de-
fense separately and independently
of the defense of the others, the con-
tentions of the trio, as revealed so
far, being in many instances both
conflicting and contradictory. The
defenses of the three men will be
taken up in order that the men are
named on the Indictment: Frank M.
Jeffords, Ira Harrison and Glenn
Treece, each of the defendants being
allowed to introduce testimony Of
fered by either Of the other two be-
fore the state takes up it's reply to
the three defenses. This plan of de-
fense was arbitrarily ordered by
Judge Townsend yesterday afternoon
when it was found that the attorneys
for the three men were unable to
agree among themselves as to the
order of the defense. No arrange
ment has been made as to the order
of the addresses to the jury.

STATE CONVENTION
CONTINUES WORK

AT an early hour this morning the
State Democratic convention, which
convened in the hall of the house of
representatives at noon yesterday,
was still in session. Completion of the
party platform is the only business
remaining before he delegates, but
as the various sections are causing
debate, the exact hour of adjournment
could not be foretold at $3.50 a. m.
The 1920 rules were adopted as the
rules for 1922.
The platform as reported out by the
committee is being taken up seriati-
cally and early this morning only
few paragraphs had been adopted.
Following the adoption of the first
three sections Of the platform the
soldier bonus bill was reached and
stiff fight cnsucd. Debate had been
limited to two minutes. Frank Il. Ell
lerbe of Manning made dramatic
speech in favor of the bonus bill. Mr..
Ellerbe and Governor Cooper entered
into 4 heated debate on the rcsolu-
ton to indorsc the present bill in
congress. Mr.. Ellerbe declared that
he believed the patriotism of the
American soldier had been ques-
toned and he asked the governor
why he was opposed to adjusted COM
pensation.
Governor Cooper defended his posi-
tion and declared he did not think
any man who accepted anything with
dollar mark on it could possibly call
this compensation. The governor spoke
earnestly on the subject, declaring
that he had the highest regard for
the soldiers and that he would not for
a moment reflect upon the man who
we're the uniform. The governor said
the government would never be able
to repay the soldier.
S. G. Mayfed of Bamberg spoke
earnestly for the Endorsement of the
bill. Mr.. Mayfcld said he was
ashamed of the position taken by the
governor.
Mrs. NJ T. Coleman of Abbevile
said she knew ex-service men had
hardships. She said it was a shame
that the bonus had not been passed.
The convention finally passed res
olution indorsing the adjusted COM
pensation act now before congress.
The platform as so far adopted re-
affirms the allegiance Of the Demo.
