DOUBLE WEDDING. A double wedding of interest throughout the state was that of Miss Maes Robins, of Atlanta, to Mr. Weldon Hatcher, of Augusta, and Miss 'Gladys Davis to Mr. Jones Hatcher, both of Augusta, which was solemnized at the Methodist parson age ^Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock.

The couples entered together and were united in marriage in the re ception rooms which were beautifully decorated in spring flowers and ferns.

Immedately after the ceremony both couples left for a wedding jour ney through Florida and Cuba and after their return will make their homes ih Augusta, where both young men are engaged in the automobile business. ARCHIE ROOSEVELT. Just now Captain Archie Roose velt is the most delightfully whole some character in the limelight. His action in resigning his position with the Sinclair Oil Company and frank ly giving his reason to be that he was convinced that fraudlency against the Government in the Teapot Dome transaction existed and then his straightforward and unchangeable testimony places him in a light so admirable and rare that, now, he is a shining example of unspoiled, stable manliness. He foresaw the entanglement that his denouncement would draw him in to and admitted with boyish candor that he was scared. The dread of the grilling nnd storm of trouble his denouncement would incur filled him with fear but determination to do the honorable thing was strong and gave him courage to act. Rising from the miasma of the fallen mighty is this one young man, unpolluted, unsullied, and as we view with pity the gray heads bowed in shame, hearts are lifted as we look into the character of young Roose velt—proudly but prayerfully for the preservation of his integrity and the continued guidance of his Guardian Angel.
