THE MARRIAGE TIC.
Men and Women Not to tie Judged by
the Same Standard.


tho Same Standard.
Whether IL is that we are poorer. or
that we are more luxurious and exacting
In our tastes, and that the girls of today
require more In their marriage than the
ordinary Englisbman can afford, I can
not say. but unless girls have great
beauty or large fortunes we hear much
more Of the difficulty Of their marrying.
Among the mass of women, however,
there is no revulsion from the marriage
tie, and all healthy minded girls and
women seem to he just MS much interest
cd In the question as We're their grand
mothers. The ono great fact that has
kept English society is the inviolability
of the marriage tic. Infldelity In a mar
ried woman is surely reason enough TO
Justify her husband in getting rid of
her, and the woman who clamors for
divorce on the same grounds rs men is
surely lowering the standard Of female
purity in ruthless way. Is man, with
his stronger, coarser, more animal ma
ture, to be judged by the same standard
of chastity as woman, with her higher
ideals Of life, her purer nature, and the
exemption from temptation which she
enjoys2
II we think for moment Of the
temptation to which men are exposed
from their very early youth, and which
they undoubtedly combat very unsuc-
cessfully, and which attacks them ut q
time when they are most prone to sue
cumb--in the period Of youth, vigor
and ignorance-and contrast their posi-
tion with that of women, we must sure
ly feel that we nre degrading our sex
when we ask for corresponding code Of
morality, or even suggest thut women
are to be tried by no higher standard
than that to which men strive to attain.
We are told that no union can survive
the conjugal customs and intimacy Of
English married life. Perhaps the new
woman thinks SO because in her ephem-
eral passion no feeling of constancy, af-
fection or gratitude is possible. We be
lieve that the overwhelming majority Of
old fashioned English women regard
that intimacy as one Of the purest and
sweetest ever devised--one which, when
the passion and desire Of youth fade
away, blossoms into friendship, com.
pansionship as constant as 1t is holy,
without which their lives would indeed
be barren. Lady Jeune in Saturday Re

Ibid you ever hear Of q strong, able
bodied man going crazy from grief?"

man heard during my last trip to the
sound. He is Russian Finn and la
sensible on every subject save one. He
has vendetta against tho walrus, and
his cabin in the wilds of Alaska is built
up with their skulls.
According to the story told me by q
passenger who came down with me
from the sound, this man settled in
Alaska years ago. He married native
woman, and she bore him son. A few
years later the mother died, and all the
affection Of the half savage father CEN
tered on the son. Nothing was too good
for the lad, and everything in the way
of hunting and fishing lore was taught
him.
"When the boy was old enough, his
father took him out on all his hunting
expeditions and soon the youngster be-
gan working on his own account.
Zone fatal day he attacked an old
bull walrus, but instead of killing il he
himself was the victim. When the father
saw the dead body Of his son he was
wild with grief, which finally settled
into species of madness. Now all he
lives for is to kill walrus.
"When the mania first seized him he
lived in a dugout Now his hut is ON
the ground and composed almost entire
ly Of walrus skulls.
"He crawls up behind the brutes
while they are asleep, and, seizing them
by the tusks, stands them ON end by
main force. He looks into their eyes as
though seeking to recognize the one that
killed his son, and then his knife does
the rest. The head is then cut off, and
goes to make one more to the monument
he is raising to the memory Of his son. I"

Safer Than Lightning Rods.

Each day adds some new virtues to
the long list of those already credited
to the pneumatic tire. Tho latest OF
these is that the wheels of bicycle be-

Any one who suffers from nervousness
during thunderstorm has now only to
go into the dining room or the cellar

pneumatic tire bicycle to be perfectly

Polynesia is probably the only place
in the world where the marriage feast
takes place without the presence of the
bridegroom. For some unexplained rea-
son the young man is "sent into the
bush" when negotiations are opened
with the family of his bride, and he re-
mains there during the subsequent fes-
tivities 1t is only when the guests have
departed and the girl is left alone with
his parents that messengers are dispatch

Death Of MIR. J.7Cs Keys, Sr.

1t is our sad duty this week to chronicle
the death of perhaps the oldest native citi
zen Of this section. We alude to The
death of Mr. James Crawford Keys, which
occurred at his home two miles west of
this city last Friday afternoon at 2 As
o'clock. On last Thanksgiving Day Mr..
Keys was taken i'll, and, though be was
well enough few days later to be up. he
gradually weakened until he breathed his
last. The announcement OF bis death was
a shock to his friends and acquaintances,
many Of whom had not heard OF bis illness
On Sunday morning at II O'Clock the
funeral services took place at the First
Baptist Church. being conducted by the
of very large crowd of sympathizing
friends and acquaintances. After the ser
vices in the church the remains were in
tered in the churchyard with the honors
Of the Masonic fraternity. He joined this
fraternity In 1851, and at the time of his
death was the oldest living member of
Hiram Lodge, in this city. His six sons
acted as pallbearers.
The deceased was born at Willow Hill
farm known also as the McCullY farm),
three miles west of the city Of Anderson.
on the 26th dsv Of December. 1878, and
was therefore 80 years of age. His father,
Peter Keys, Esq was q native of Ireland,
and came to this country some time in the
eighties of the last century. and settled the
Willow Hill farm in 1892 Peter Keys
was twice married. By the first marriage
niue children were born and by the second
Eve. of whom James Crawford was the
eldest Three of III last Eve children lived
to maturity, the otter two being Robert a.
and Emma. Tue last nsmad was the
wife of the late Stephen McOully.
Mr.. J. G Keys was married to Miss
Louisa D Lewis, who survives him. on
the 7th day Of April, 1886, and had Mr..
Keys been spared few months longer the
aged couple would have celebrated the six
tieth anniversary of their marriage Their
union was blessed with nine children,
seven Sons and two daughters, eight Of
whom are living, one son, Peter A., hav.
ing been killed in a railroad accident four
teen years ago. Two years after their
marriage Mr.. and Mrs Keys settled at the
present homestead, two miles west Of An.
derson, and there they have lived for
nearly So years.
He was large contractor In the build.
ing Of the Columbia & Greenville Railroad.
He never had any political aspirations,
and, with the exception of the few years
he was engaged In railroad building, gave
bis whole attention to farming, In which
he was progressive and successful. he
possessed q most genial, generous disposi.
tIon, and was ever ready to lend helping
hand to the poor and afflicted. He was
we'll known throughout this section and
was very popular with all his friends and
acquaintances
Mr.. Keys united with the First Baptist
Church few years ago, and was regular
attendant and consistent member. a de-
voted husband, loving father, kind,
generous friend and a good citizen has
been called to bis eternal home.
