4 Ro,llnrhnbie Decree.

It is an evident fact that the
population of South Carolina will
not be increased by immigration
from Chicago at any time in the
near future. A remarkable decree
of a South Carolina court does not
recognize the divorce, and declares
that children Of a second marriage
are illegitimate, holding that moth
ing but death sewers matrimonial
bonds. Anent this decision the
Memphis Commercial says:
The Supreme Court Of South Carolina
has Just decided that marriages consum-
mated in that State are iuviolab!e, that
they can not be annulled by divorce, and
that citizen of that State who goes TO
another State to procure q divorce and
succeeds, and subsequently marries in
the State where the divorce is procured
and returning to South Caroliua-thC
State of his birth--trom the State OF his
domicil, takes up his residence therein
becoming again amenable to its laws
can not he held on considered rs living
in any other condition than that OF adul
terry, and the children of the second mar
riage are, therefore, bastards. This j
rather tough. But the man or womal
who does not like it can leave Soutl
/ Carolinaaud take up his or her resldenc
/ in State where the law OF Jesus Chris
as to divorce is not part of it's common
law.

The trial Of WILLIAM WIDDIs at
Huntingdon this week has been Of
more than usual interest to the peo-
pie Of Carroll and adjoining coun-
ties. Our readers are familiar with
the killing of Constable Ross and
his nephew, JIM Ross, in Carroll
County last November, while they
were engaged in loading some cot
ton which had been levied upon to
satisfy a debt against WIDDIs. Adj
ditional interest was given to the
case by the fact that few days af-
ter the killing a mob attempted to
take WIDDIs from the county jail,
but through some friend the pris-
oner was armed and after shooting
one of the parties in the head, the
mob dispersed. Six hundred men
were summoned before a jury was
secured, and nearly fifty witnesses
were examined, the defense making
the plea of insanity. The verdict
Of the jury was murder in the first
degree. A motion for a new tria
was made. and was to have beer
argued yesterday.

Tennessee Mortgages.

Some interesting facts concern
ing mortgages in Tennessee are
shown by the census investigation.
The results are based on a total
debt now in force amounting to
S4O,421, 1896. Twelve per cent. of
the State outside Of villages and
cities is mortgaged for so per cent.
of it's true value. Sixty-seven per
cent. of the debt of the State is in
the counties containing Knoxville,
Chattanooga, Nashville and Mem
phis. Fifty-nine per cent. OF the
debt of the State is on village and
city lots, and So per cent. Of this
debt is in the four cities above
named. The total amount Of the
mortgaged Indebtedness in Knox
County is S4,O5O,35J; IN Davidson
County, S6,638,2 in Hamilton
County, $9,8l9,564; and in Shelby
County, $6,649,573. According to
the analysis Of the superintendent
Of the census, probably no other
State in the Southern States will
show a larger debt on village and
city lots than on acre tracts.

they were in the minority. Any
explanation from the others that a
game of cross-purposes between the
