ROAD MACHINERY.
---------------
THE COUNTY AUTHORITIES DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
----------------------
WITH THE ROAD MACHINERY
-------------------------
Company Claims Former Board Agreed to Buy Machinery. Supervisor Boyd
Says no Such Contract was Made.
-------------------
The county authorities are just now puzzled as to what to do with
a large lot of modern road machinery which has been lying here for many
months near the depot, ever since it was shipped here by the makers.
Former Suprvisor J. L. Boyd says that the machinery was to be shipped
here on approval, and at the risk of the company, the county reserving
the privilege of taking such of it as they wanted and returning the
balance. Since Supervisor W. K. Holt has been in office the matter has
troubled him no little, letters having been received from the machinery
company claiming that the county owed them the sum f $900.00 in round
numbers, and intimating that legal steps would be taken unless settlement
were made by the county authorities. The machinery was shipped here
nearly a year ago and since that time with the exception of a scraper
or two and perhaps one or two wagons, has been lying on the ground near
the depot without any shelter over it and being very much injured by
this exposure. There is a large roller that takes many horses to pull,
besides other pieces of very costly and heavy machinery.
There is some of it that might be used by the county to advantage, but
if they use it, it will amount to an affirmance of the purchase and
the county might be compelled to take the whole lot, whether they actually
agreed to purchase it or not.
Mr. Holt has sought legal advice on the subject and the bill will hardly
be paid, it is said, unless passed upon by a court and the facts found
against the county.
-----------------------------
He is not the Author.
Notwithstanding a notice that was published in this paper last week
to the efect that Mr. Geo. M. Johnson of Gallivants Ferry was not the
author of the article appearing in this paper some time ago criticizing
the verdict of the jury in the case of the State vs. Commander Johnson,
it seems tht certain people persist in circulating this false report.
We feel called upon again to state to the public that Mr. Geo. M. Johnson
had nothing whatever to do with the writing of that article. The original
article is on file in the office and it was written by a person who
lives in a different section of the county and is hardly likely to be
even acquainted with Mr. Geo. M. Johnson. The name of the writer of
the article which has caused condiderable comment on the part of the
people is in the possession of the Editor, but we wish to say again
that it is unjust to Mr. George Johnson to charge him with the authorship
of an article that he never even saw before it appeared in the paper.
In justness to him the Herald hopes that this notice will put an end
to any talk of his being the author of the letter, and all those who
are not perfectly satisfied with the word of the editor are at liberty
to call at the office of this paper and find out for themselves the
truth of the matter.

Son Lost Mother.
"Consumption runs in our family, and through it I lost my mother,"
writes E. B. Reid, of Harmony, Me. "For the past five years, however,
on the slightest sign of a Cough or Cold, I have taken Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, which has saved me from serious lung trouble."
His mother's death was a sad loss for Mr. Reid, but he learned that
lung trouble must not be neglected, and how to cure it [rest of paragraph

A Home Wedding.
Once more the wedding bells have rung at Bucksville, this time for the
marriage of Miss Lily Edith Sarvis and Mr. E[?] Page of Exile, S.C.
On the morning of November 1st, a few of the nearest relatives of both
parties assembled at the residence of Capt. Moses F. Sarvis to witness
the marriage. Anxious watchers who love to quote "blessed is the
bride that the sun shines on" had been predicting that the "inlets
would roll away" and finally they did, and old Sol lent his benediction
and throwing raps to the comfort and joy of all. Flowers bloomed and
birds sang outside and loving hands transformed the interior of the
house into a bower of beauty. The decorations consisted chiefly of ivy
and chrysanthemums, and the nimble fingers of the baby and pet of the
household evolved a marriage bell of ivy and white crysanthemums that
would have done cedit to a florist.
The hour was fixed for twelve and soon expectant eyes turned to the
doors. Under the cultured touch of Miss Hanah Sarvis, Lohengrin's wedding
march pealed forth, the Rev. Mr. Singleton preceded the party and took
his plce in front of a large window. Then came the bride accompanied
by her maid of honor, Miss Della Page and groom with Mr.Frank Singleton
as best man. They both took their places under the bell and the brief
marriage service of the Methodist Episcopal church was performed in
a solemn and impressive manner.
The usual congratulations were offered and then all repaired to the
dining room where a tastefully arranged collation awaited them. Large
linbred rings of ivy and crimson gardenias suspended over the table
indicated the place of honor for the bride and tgoroom. An enjoyable
array of refreshments were served consisting of sandwiches, pickles,
black and white fruit cake, ambrosia, grapes, bananas and oranges, with
accompaniments of coffee, tea and chocolate. As the groom's father had
tendered the young couple a reception that night they had to leave immediately
after lunch. They drove off among showers of rice and good wishes. The
other guests remained and spent several hours in mutual enjoyment.
The bride is a lovely and popular girl and the groom bears an excellent
character. The bride was faultlessly gowned in white mousseline de soie
with brussels veil caught at intervals with white blossoms.
The corsage of her dress was allover lace puffed sleeves trimmed with
flowing lace, a silken girdle and neck fluish and the bertha of lace
completed a bewitching costume. She wore brides roses with maiden hair
fern and carried a lovely bouquet of gardenias with foliage of rose
geranium and sword fern and completed by showers of white ribbon.
Miss Della Page wore cream mousseline de soie, with yoke and sleeves
of lace, and carried bouquet of pink geraniums and Drodescantia and
pink ribbon. The bride and groom present a decided contrast, she being
pure blonde and he a pronounced brunette. Although presents were not
on exhibition, there were some very handsome and useful ones tendered
them.
The attending guests were Mrs. Sarah Dusenbury of Socastee, and her
beautiful and accomplished niece Miss Deila Blanchard of Maine, Misses
Hanah, Lucy and Nita Sarvis, Miss Sadie Dusenbury, Mrs. Chas. Price,
Mrs. Arthur Planer, (nee Florence Sarvis) who was herself a bride a
year ago. Mrs. Chestnut, a sister of the groom and Messrs. Brewster
Harper, Perlie and Cordie Page and Mrs. Clifford Sarvis. It may be worth
noting that this is the fifth time the wedding bells have rung in the
Sarvis family in thirteen months.
It is suggested that for significant reasons that two remaining daughters
be placed in a convent. From chance hints dropped by the officiating
minister it might be gathered that he may soon join the ranks of the
"doubly blessed." But his thoughts seem to turn far away from
here.
The marriage rites are over. Bucksvilleites will turn their attention
to cotton and pea picking.
