BRILLIANT
WEDDING
At St. Thomas .Episcopal
Church Yesterday
Afternoon.
I St. Thomas, the quaint little Epis
copal church on Remington avenue,
was the scene yesterday afternoon of
beautiful wedding, of national an
ell as local ‘Interest, when Mias
ean Claire Hanna, and Mr. Howard
elville Hanna, Jr.,>ere made man
,nd wife.
The wedding was of local interest
by reason of the fact that the two
young people first met and pledged
their vows while visiting here, and
have a large ' number of friends
among the residents of Thomasville.
It was of considerable national In
terest because the contracting par
ties are the neice and nephew of the
late Senator Mark Hanna, of Ohio.
For a full two hours before the
appointed time of the ceremony a
crush of people had gathered before
the church doors eagerly watching
the guests and wedding party as
they assembled. Traditionally and
always, eager interest has centered
around a wedding, and this happy
young couple had the peculiar at
traction of being first cousins, be
sides their union Is the culmination
of a genuine love affair. Of course
there were many drawn hither by the
irresistible magnet known as “mOr-
% bl < curiosity.”
The church was a scene of beauty,
in white and green loveliness. The
only flowers used was Easter li
ly. These exquisite lilies with
smilax and bamboo almost hid the
altar and chansel. The electric
globes were entwined with these li
lies and bamboo, and the walls and
celling of the entire church were
festooned with this fresh green
southern vine.
White candles rising from banks
cf faster lilies and smilax shed
their soft glow over the altar where
the vows were made. White satin
ribbons were tied to form an aisle
and distinguish the immediate wed
ding party from the Invited guests.
A most attractive musical pro
gram was rendered before the cere
mony by Mr. J. W. Crosley organ
ist of St. Path Episcopal church of
Augusta, Go. The numbers which
are given below were the relections

that South ha* Quit Rad Habit
New York, Jan. 11.—Recent com
plaints of cotton brokerage houses
that the public took little Interest
In cotton speculation during the past
season was born out by the balanc
ing of books January 1. The bulk
of the trading ordinarily comes from
out of town, mainly from the South,
and the present situation has led
four important cotton houses to
abandon their southern wires.
The maid of honor Miss Fannie W.
Hanna entered alone. . She was also
gowned In chiffon broadcloth of a

proceeded to the home of Mrs. Wy
man Jones where a reception was
tendered them.
Cards to the church were Issued
to a number of Thomasville people,
friends of the family.
PAPER FROM
YELLOW PINE
A New Manufacturing
Process that Means
Much to Sooth.
A Lynchburg, Va., Inventor has
recently perfected a process for util
ising the long leaf yellow pine, or
pitch pine, of the South in the man*
ufacture of paper and an experi
mental factory is now in operation'
in Lynchburg. Hitherto^ the large
quantity of resins In pine has made
it Impossible to maker paper pulp of
the wood, and as a result many of
the vast pine forests In the south
have gone to waste and Southern
paper users—newspapers and others
—have had to buy their supplies in
the North.
The discovery that long leaf pine
wood might be used for paper mak
ing was made quite by accident. For
a long while the discoverer had been
seeking to perfect a process for ex
tracting turpentfne and resins from
the wood in an economical manner,
It was noted that one of the by-pre
ducts of his process was a large
quantity of wood pulp. This wood
pulp, it was found by experiment,
contained little or no resin. Then
tho notion of using It for paper mak
ing occurred to those Interested—
and it new Southern industry was
boru.
'Hie vast forests of New England
and Michigan have largely been ile-
v*M»»ted during recont years In or
der to s ipply paper manufacturers
w!»h spruce and similar woods to
make their pulp. The question of
the future wood supply In tho manu
facture of paper has been and Is now
a serious one. Sir Alfred Harms-
worth, owner of the London Dally
Mall and other papers during a re
cent visit to this country, purchased
vast tracts of timber land In Canada,
having In view the paper necessities
of the future. The eyes of the pa-
l*er manufacturers have been direc
ted for many years on tho almost
unlimited supply of long-leaf yellow
pine, or pitch pine, as It is more com
monly called in the South, and var
ious experiments have been made
from time to time with the object
In view of extracting from the plno
wood all the resinous matter con
tained therein, making tho residue
suitable for the manufacture of pa
per pulp.
A year or two ago some gentlemcu
In the South, who were Interested In
the manufacture of wood and bark
extracts for tanning leather, began
Investigating the pitch pine wood
products, with the object In view of
getting the turpentine out of the
wood, and selling It In competition
with the ordinary turpentine pro
duct. Their Investigation* led them
still farther, and ultimately their
chemists found it not only possible
to get from a cord of long lesf yel
low pine all the turpentine It con
tained, but other products of great
commercial value, and aleo the wood
after these various substances had
been extracted was a product entire
ly suitable for paper-making. A
small plant capable of consuming
twenty or thirty cords of wood per
day has been erected In Lynchburg
and is now in operation.
A cord of Southern pine will pro
duce far greater yield of paper pulp
than a cord of spruce, poplar or
similar woods. This is largely due
to the close texture of the fiber- and
its freedom from water. A cord of
spruce weighs 4,500 pounds and con
tains forty to fifty per cent of water.
A cord of ordinary pitch pine weighs
STATE BOARD’S
REDACTION
Made No Mention of So-
called “ThomasviUe
Fever Cases.
Dr. A. P. Taylor has returned from
Atlanta, where he attended the an
nual meting of the State Board of
Health. He is the representative on
the Board from the Second Con
gressional District. There have been
several reports of the meeting in the
Atlanta and Savannah papers. The
average reporter gets beyond his
depth when he tackles a subject of
health or medicine and the publish
ed reports were such as to do the
board an injustice, and to garble the
real state of affairs.
In the first place the reports made
much of the alleged fact that tho re
port of Secretary Harris dealt with
fever cases studied' In Thomasville
and Albany. There were no fever
cases from this town mentioned iu
tho report of the secretary. It Is
true that the Board maintained a
laboratory at Albany for tho inves
tigation of fever conditions, but they
did not Investigate Thomasville, and
this town is .not the. fever headquar
ters of the state as the published ac
counts might lead the reader to sup
pose. The report vlld show that tho
cases of para-typhoid and typhoid
In tho state are about equally divid
ed.
Tho Board will during the coming
year investigate tho water sheds of
the state, with a view to preventing
tho contamination of the water sup
ply of Georgia cities. Tho question
as to more power and more money
for tho board wIU be brought before
tho next legislature, and the Board
will endeavor to secure an increase
of both. At present It works a
slim appropriation, and has uioieh
an advisory function. .
it is probable 'that a transfei ol
certain funds, and papers now hel l
by the Commissioner of Agi'iciillum,
but which belong more propeily In
tho Board of Health, will be asked by
that body before the assembly mu:
convenes next June. • l s'
BIG VICTORY
FOR SHIPPERS
Federal Court Sustains
Commission’s ten perg
cent Reduction.
Atlanta, Jan. 12.—The state won
a rreat victory this morning when
Judge W. T. Newman, of the Feder
al courts, rendered a decision sus
taining the demurrer filed by the
Railroad Commission to the injunc
tion of railroads against Circular No.
318, reducing the preferential on all
klndB of commodities In the state 10
per cent.
The commission in this circular
reduced the 25 per cent preferential
to 15 per cent. Before the circular
became effective the railroads
brought injunction proceedings In
the Federal court.
Attorney-General Hart filed a de
murer in effect to dismiss the In
junction, and now Judge Newman
sustains the state. It means the i
lng of many thousands of dollars to
! shippers In Georgia.

Tho Quitmun Advertiser says:
Marshal J. P. Wade arrested Tal
ley Jolly of Valdosta on the ease
bound train Tuesday evening on
warrant sworn out by C. W. Jenkins
charging Jolly with larceny.
It is said the two young men spent
the night recently at Mrs. Hart’s
boarding house, both occupying the
®amo room. Jenkins claims that
Jolly got up first next morning and
hired a Ivory team and drove to DIx
ie, where he boarded th* morning
train for Thomasville. Aft.yr his de
parture .Tonkins claims that he .found
his pocket hook containing about $30
missing, and accordingly swore out
the ./arrant for Jolly. Th9 latter
is now in jail here, pending .a he;
lug before the City Court today.
TO INDUCE IMMIGRANTS.
TOJAMPA
Rumor says A. B. & A.
Will Extend, With Den
ham in_Ch&rge.
The industrial development of this
action may be greatly advanced thl/
year by a new railroad from Thom-
aavllle to Tampa. The possibility of
this project and probable plane
towards Its fulfillment were men
tioned by tbls paper several months
ago. The Balnbrldge Tribune has
the following Interesting rumora on
this question
"The reported resignation of Capt.
W. B. Denham as published exclu
sively In the Tribune yesterday was
the general topic of conversation on
tho streets and there were much re
gret expressed that he should con
template leaving Balnbrldge where
he has endeared himself to so many.
There Is a confirmation of the report.
"It Is said that he will go front
here to Tampa where he will bo tho
manager of a now road that Is being
built from there In a northern direc
tion. It Is said that this road Is to
be operated In conjunction with the
A. II. & A. This road will complete
the link from. Atlanta to tho sea that
has toon arrltr.tcd so much In tho
last year. Whether the line will be
built from Thomasville south or from
Waycross 1b a mooted question.
"If tho road Is extended from
Thomasville It will run through s
section of the country that la rich In
forest products and tftre Is also
much fertile lands on tho proposed
route. This would bo thickly settled
nl time and make the extension val
uable after the timber has been cut.
Tho extension from WaycroBs would
extend through a country from which
tho tlmbor has been cut and where
tho lands are not so productive*.
"Mr. Denham Is expecting to be
gin his work In South Florida about
the fourth of February. His succes
sor has not been selected hut Mr.
W. R. Beauprie of Atlanta Is being
considered for the place. This gen-
ticorgfa Will Mend Commissioners j tleman haB been in charge of a> di-
