tell, the we'll known actor, is threatened
with imprisonment.
Last November he had some trouble
with his wife, well known on the stage
as Marie Sheldon, and the couple sepa-
rated, Mr.. Mantell agreeing to pay his
wife weekly $75 for her support, This
ne did until about three weeks ago, when
the payments ceased. s
Mrs. Mantell has now employed coun-
sci to take proceedings against the ao-
tor, and if he does not pay up the ar
rears and the weekly alimony when II
falls due he is likely co go to jail.
Theatrical men say that MAntell' 4
finances are not in prosperous condi-
tion and that his failure TO pay alimony
was probably due more to his inability
to pay than his lack of inten tion to keep
his contract.

The weather this week has been
nearly repetition of last weeks
weather. Not a drop of rain has
fallen. The mercury has been as high
as 81 and as low as So. variance of Sc
degrees of temperature. The winds
during the warm spell came from the
south and southeast, and during the
colder days from the north and north
west.
This highly favorable weather has
enabled the planters TO gather all the
cotton open in sight in an excellent
condition but il came too late to be
of material benefit as regards quanti-
ty, though we should not complain,
because complainings are of no avail
in matters beyond our control.
Business has improved some in town
and country since our last issue, tak-
ing its cue doubtless from the I'M
proved price of the staple aud the
steady, strong markets reported al
several important points where cotton
is handled.
The health of the people of our par
ish is reported to be quite favorable
for the season of the year, and all
things considered, quite cheerful
feeling prevails with regard to the
future.

The hiring of unlicensed teams 10
haulfreight or anything else within the
corporate limits is direct violation of
The law, which lays the parties so do
ing liable to severe penalty; besides,
those who do SO, from whatever cause,
show sad want of appreciation of the
Fire Company in our midst, who have
as well as doing gross injustice to
those transfers engaged in the hauling
business who pay an annual license to
the corporation for the right to do SO.
We sincerely hope that Marshal Ham,
ilton will see that the law is strictly
enforced in this matter and bring all
violators to prompt account.
