 South Carolina has no divorce law.
 It is impossible to secure legal sepa- ration in that state, even for Biblical
 reasons. A husband whose home is des- ecrated has no recourse except personal violence. Public sentiment sanctions the slaughter of his domestic foe. and there is no instance on record in which
 man who has committed homicide un- der such circumstances has been held to
 account in the courts.
 In Alabama and other southern states,
 however. divorces are granted. When. ever oitizen kills man who has desc
