The Anarchist Devils Meet.

CHICAGO, October 13.-Whcn the
stars and stripes were raised at an
anarchist mass meeting in Van
weart's Turner Hall, this afternoon,
the flag was greeted with hisses by
probably half thousand men and
women in the room at the time.
The red flag was then unfurled and
was greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause. Scrgius Eshlevitch, of New
York, the first speaker, declared the
hanging of the anarchists the gravcst
crime ever committed in America.
He was proud of Chicago, as it
would one day be the Paris of .Ame-
rica-a city of revolutions. Smoul-
dering discomfort would soon break
forth in fiery revolutions.

Who Can Marry in South Carolina

We clip the following Sections
from the Revised Statues of South
Carolina "a ,.si
SECTION 2o29. All marriages con.
tractcd while either of tho parties
has former wife or husband living
shall be void; Provided, That this
section shall not extend to q person
whose husband or wife shall be alb.
sent for the space of soven years
the one not knowing the other 20 be
living during that time; nor to a,es
person eoho snail be diuo,ced OF
whose first marriage shall be declared
void by the sentence of a competent
court.
Sec. 2589. Whoever being mar
ried, and whose husband or wife has
not remained continually for seven
years beyond the sea, or continually
absent himself or herself, the one
from the other, for the space OF
seven years together, the one of
them not knowing the other to be
living within that time, or who were
[ was not married before the age of
consent; or where neither husband
or wife is under sentence of impriso1l-
ment for life; or whose marriage has
not been annulled by decree of a
competent tribunal having jurisdic-
tion both of the cause and the par
ties,--shall marry another person,
the former husband or wife being
alive, shall on conviction, be pun
ished by imprisonment in tho Peni-
tentiary, for not more than five years,
nor less than six months, or by
imprisonment in the Jail for six
months, and by fine of not less
than five hundred dollars.
From the above law it appears
that a person divorced by compe.
tent tribunal may marry again in
this State. The law of South Caro-
lima, while silent on the divorce ques-
ton, does not make it unlawful for a
divorced person to re7marry in South
Carolina.
The Revised Statutes of South
Carolina allow re-marriage for sis
causes, viz:
l. Absence beyond tho seas fo1
seven years.
2. Absence anywhere for seven
years, when one does not know the
other to be living.
3. Imprisonment for life
4. Marriage under the age of con.
sent.
s. Divorce (for any oause) under
the jurisdiction of q competent tri.
bunal.
6. Where the first marriage is de.
clared void by the sentence Of com
petent court.

A TRAGIC ELGPEMENT.
Four Daughters Steal Away.
Their Father Kills two Young Nc

THE INDIGNANT NEIGHBoRs LYNCH HIM
THE GIRLS HAD BEEN TOO STRICTLY
GUARDED-A REMARKABLE STORY.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-The little town of
Bolar, in Mercer county, Missouri, turns
out the following tragic story: "Henry
Thomas, an I'D farmer, has four grown
daughters, named Hattie, Margaret, Nancy
and Jane, aged 16, 10, 90 and % years re-
spectively. Last Wednesday night Samuel
and Charles Hasburn, brothers, procured a
ladder and helped Margaret and Jane out of
a seoond-story window of their fathers
house, and as they were about to elope With
the girls the old man appeared on the scene,
but too late to prevent their escape. He at
once procured the best horse he had and a
shotgun and started in hot pursuit. When
about ~ miles from homo be ovsrSnoa the
fleeing party. He Immediately opsaed fire
on them, killing both the boys and serious
ly wonGIijng Margaret.
siAfter getting nearly home with the girls
he was told that the other two, Hattie and
Nancy, had also e!oDed with Ned Gleason
and Thomas Allison de at oncs left tAe
girls he had with him in charge of some
ueighbors and started after the others. At
ter securing he other two girls without any
serious trouble, he started back, but when
about two miles from home mob took pos
session of him and strung him up to tree.
"The Old man was terribly strict with the
girls. He would hardly let them out of his
sight, hence the elopement. He always
Dragged that he would moi be bothered with
lazy sons-in law. Public feeling is strong
ly in favor of the lynching. Margaret died
last night''

THE PROSPECTIVE.

For some time past the people of Lexing
ton and Reckbridge have been considering
the matter of forming a company, and row
have done so with the view of obtaining
the Buena Vista property in its entirety and
disposing of the opportunities its resources
in iron, lumber, water-power SC !, offer for
varied development.
Mr.. A. II. Barclay, Of Lexington, is at
the head Of the Company. Associated with
him is Mr.. B. G. Moomaw, of Green Forest,
and number of other enterprisiug and
practical gentlemen, all of recognized abil-
ity to plau and to execute. They have tie
example of many other localities now
operating GU the same line, and they can
especially receive encouragement as tho
practical and far-seeiug men Of the South
vest applied their opportunities by adopting
the same methods. Doing that they will
not long wait for aid to sustain their faith,
their courage and their action.
P. S.-When writing the foregoing we
had no information of the extent of ground
it was the purpose Of the Company forming
to commence deyelopmentin that section Of
Rockbridge to take in Il is, we learn, TO
embrace the three properties all adjoining
-Buena Vista, Green Forest, and Harris
Bottom,-the latter at the junction of the
Lexington branch of the Richmond and
Allegheny and the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
roads.
The necessary amount Of stock, We learn,
is being rapidly subscribed, and yesterday
afternoon there was to be a mass meeting
in Lexington for the purpose of pushing
the scheme. With the people united, as
they appear to be, it cannot fail.

AnguSta'S Progress.

The above is the title of an excellent
communication signed ''Mt. Meridian"
which ic affords US sincere pleasure to pub
fish. The spirit and zeal with which the
writer takes up the subject Of improving
the highways in Augusta will assuredly
lead to good results. 1t only requires the
action of the people to sustain the county
government in the progress it is making,
and to point out the needs as they exist,
to secure, in reasonable time, the object
desired. From the fact that bridge at
Mt. Meridian has already received consid-
Grafton at the hands of the county authori-
ties, is guarantee that within practicable
