Two Men Get License
to Marry the Same Girl
Fayetteville, Sept. 23—Disappointed in his desire to obtain
a license to wed the girl of his choice because another had beaten him to the
registrar of deeds’ office by a few hours and had secured a license to marry
the girl, the girl being the same in both cases, a certain young man of this country
applied himself to overcoming the lead which his rival had gotten and succeeded
in persuading the girl whose popularity had causes a run on the registrar of
deeds’ office, to fly with him to Lumberton. They flew, accompanied by the girl’s
mother. The young man hurried to the office of the registrar of deeds of
Robeson county and for the third time in two days, applied for a license to wed
the same Cumberland county girl was made. And for the second time in two days,
it was granted. But this time the fateful paper bore the name of the young man
who had arrived too late at the Cumberland registry office. And so they were
married.
At least this is the sequel as it comes to Registrar of
Deeds D.L. Downing, of an unusual occurrence in his office when two men applied
on the same day for license to wed the same girl. The first application was
granted. The second, three hours later, was not granted. Mr. Downing was anxious
to learn the outcome of the unusual situation and today heard the romantic sequel.
The minister who was to perform the ceremony for the first
young man has returned the license to Mr. Downing.
