night by masked and white robed men
and after being driven three or four
miles in the country were warned not
to be seen together in public again.
The two were brought back within
a few blocks of the young woman's
home and put out about as minutes
later.
Reports were current tonight; that
a whipping had been administered TO
Mr.. Sullivan, but he denied that ne
had been thus dealt with. He told po-
lice that he had been warned not to
be seen in company with the young
woman again.
About ten o'clock two cars filed
with masked men drove up behind
the car of Mr.. Sullivan in front OF
the home of Mrs. Ada Floyd, the
Young woman's mother, on east Ben
son street. One group of men seized
Mr.. Sullivan while the others took
Miss Floyd in charge and the two cars
were: then driven rapidly away. Mr..
Sullivan and Miss Floyd say they
were taken three or four miles into
the country where the warning was
given.

The road to Chappells is in fine
condition and the contractor on the
section from Chappells to the river
has pitched his tent and the work has
begun, and 1 am happy to believe that
it will not be long now until that part
of road is completed, and that will
make the journey over home an easy
one and will save. much time. The
builder is still at work on the bridge
over Bush river and it should not be
near as long as it has been before
this bridge is completed.

of the young woman's home here late
tonight by a band of masked men
who @"gave them lecture" as they
described it.
The man was warned not to be
seen in Miss Floyd's company again.

that had reached them that he had
been beaten. He and Miss Floyd and
the latter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd

were dressed in regalia resembling
that of the Ku Klux Klan, and Miss
Flovd asserted she was positive one

connection IS secretary and treasurer
Of the South Carolia Cotton Manu-
facturers' association, was recen1iy

her in conversation with a he'gh-
Dor who had complained to the police
She is about Is years old.
The masked band came up tonlght
in two automobiles and four men pu:
Sullivan in one machine while three
took Miss Floyd in the other and rap

The Southern Railway has at last
fixed the underpass on the highway
Just below Prosperity, and it took
only few hours to do the Job. 1t has
the appearance of having been done
by pouting boy who has been fore

he just goes and throws it together
so as TO comply with what he has to
do and to make it look just as bad

RIvEs-GRENEKER r WEDDING

The marriage of Miss Gladys Rives
and Thomas Benjamin Greneker
which was so]emnized at the First
Baptist church on Wednesday even

loveliness. The church presented a
picturesque garden3 scene, the ros-
trum was especially lpratty with pots
of pink Towering lgdcangeas, ferns
and palms against a white lattice
background, having two lattice gates
on either side.
Tulle baskets of llgdrangeas adorn-
ed the white posts, |. large taile bas-
ket of the hydrangeas, showered with
pink sweet peas, Was suspended over
the betrothed couple. Garlands Of
asparagus were fesEaoned from the
tulle draped chandeliers, AMI out
lined balconies, do9r and windows,
which were all filled with pot plants,
over which smaller baskets OF by
drangeas were spfnded.
Mrs. Mamie Norris T;l'maa pre-
sided at the pipe organ, for pre-
nuptial concert, seve:al numbers hav-
ing orchestra accompaniment by tai
ented Edgefeld musicians, Mrs. Leon

olson, Mrs. M. B. Fucker and Messrs.
j. G. Holland and Mitchell Reynolds.
The little ribbon girls, Helen Dun
ovant, Pickens Grepeker of Augusta,
Sarah and Annie Nicholson, were the
first to enter. Their pink organdie
dresses, pink organdie hats and their
arms filled with pink sweet peas,
struck the keynote. Of the pretty
scheme. They united the aisle rib
bons and ascending the rostrum, took
their places at the lattice gates, which
they opened.
Then followed the ushers, who took
their places in a semi-circle out from
the rostrum: Gist Finley of York and
Hammond Carmichael of Beaufort,
Paul Cogburn and Perry Brown of
Sumter, Rainsfrd Cantelou and John
Minis, George Adams and j. 0. Shep-

Sam Barron of Manning, down oppo-
site aisles.

two brides maids down the opposite
aisle: MISSES June RdlHS1oIu anu

The crops along the road are very
grassy and need work. Up around
Dyson there has been great deal OF
rain and that land does not dry up
fast and about the time it was in con-
dition to plow another rain would
come, and as a result the farmers up
this side are very much behind with
their work. And the same thing is
true on some of the farms on the
Newberry side, but not so bad, it
seemed to me. The oats crop has
been very good and has been harvest
ed in fairly good shape. The wheat
is not so good, but there was much
more planted than heretofore, and It
looks like there is going to be plenty
of bread in the country. IN some
places the corn is looking we'll and
there has been planted fairly good

There does not seem to he the
usual rush for Office this year, either
conntv or state. When the times are
hard and the people are complaining
It generally happens that the crop OF
candidates is fine, but not so tins
wear, unless the ranks should I'LL up
as the time for filing pledges draWs
nearer to a close. IT," 80 Of max
ing a campaign may keep some cut.
The assessments for the expenses OF
the campaign are generally very hlgh'
and in fact, higher than they should
be. We agree with The State, we
believe it was, who said that the plan
Of assessment of candidates to bear
the expense of running the primary
election machinery is fundamentally
wrong. The expense of this election
should be borne just as the expense
of the general election is, instead OF
the practice of assessing candidates
to meet this expepnse. T
For govrnor there are some tour
or FIVE who have signed up. We have
not the names before US but as we
recall, those who have signed are
Cole L. Blease, John E. Swearingen'
5Thos. G. Mcleod, Geo K. Laney, John
T. Duncan. For lieutenant govern
or only one, ]. K. Owen. For state
superintendent of education there
are several who have signed and who
are mentioned. James H. Hope, 0.
d. Seay, Paul Moore have signed, and
Mr.. Seigler of Aiken and Mr.. Geo.
d. Brown of Newberry are also men
toned as certain to enter the race.
For adjutant and inspector general
there are two who have signed. The
other state officers so far have no op-
position.
In only three of the congressional
districts have there been any who
have signed up as opposing the preo-
ent congressman.
In county offices the only job that
seems to be desired is that of masis-
trate at Newberry.
The most important office at this
time is that of state superintendent
of education. We do desire to see a
good and competent man get that
Job. The forward going of the
schools of the state depends very
largely upon the enthusiasm and the
ability and the energy and the efti-
cheney of the man whom the people
select for this most important post.
Is there anything of more Importance
to the country at this time than the
education and training of the youth.
The Herald and News hopes that
the campaign will be conducted on
the right sort of plane and that it
may be what it is intended to be,
sort Of education Of the people and
not a harangue of bitterness and
charges such as we have seen in this
state.

Delay Causing Hardship

Because of this highly unsatisfae- tory state of affairs, the school board at meeting some time ago decided that the only course open was the cree tion of an addition to the building. and commissioned an architect to draw a set of plans. These were re- eeived and approved. and recently The Patriot carried a picture of the pro- posed addition, together with a news story.
 That the time has arrived for the asking of taxpayers Go build the need cd addition. is the opinion of the board. which at an adjourned meeting Monday evening in the office of At toruey Charles E Torrey, clerk of the board, decided to ask for the special town meeting when the whole proposi- ton will be outlined to the taxpayers who assemble. Because of the great need of the addition. t is anticipated that taxpayers will give their approv- al to the proposed s30.0o0 appropria- ton needed to enlarge the school building.
 In passing, it may be stated that the deed is on file in the town clerks of fee. in which the town becomes owner of the strip of land on School street. recently purchased from Stephen (. Harris of Providence If 1t Is decided to erect the addition to the school. the present playground will be largely taken up. However, in the Harris land. now owned by the town, ample playground space will be available.

 For several years there has been fell al the school the need of more room. because of the ever increasing number of children registering al the building. So acute has the condition become that all rooms. when school closed last month, were overcrowded. teachers having altogether too many children in their care to teach with ef- fieieney and give that individual care that is SO desirable and necessary. The crowded condition at the school fur ther made necessary the pressing into use of an attic room. which proved hot in warm weather, cold in winter, and continuously electrically lighted. be- cause there aren't enough windows 10 admit enough natural light.
