STRANGE AS ROMANCE.
SINGULAR MARRIAGE-RE
Suits on J>,rrTU>p

SCiIS Ot' ~ LETTER.
(from the Rockingham Anglo Saxon.)
a young man is confined to his bed
at his home in Marks Creek township
IN somewhat precarious condition
and with n rather indistinct recollec-
ton of marriage ceremony over the
line iii South Carolina. His condition
mas required the attendance of q Rock,
insham physician.
To tell the story most intelliribly we
begin at the beginning.
The young man is the second oldest
or a family OF five brothers-good.
honest. industrious people. who have
for some time been engaged in the saw
mill business. About two years ago he
was in love with young lady who
lives near Laurel Hill, but his family
objected strenuously to the match be-
cause of the delicate health of the
young lady. They succeeded in break
ing up the match. and no more was
thought of it. and in the course of tin,.
he centercd his affections elsewhere q
school marin in his township being the
object. Thursday evening, August 9th.
was fixed as the time for the celebra-
ton of their nuptials. and preparations
on Il rather extensive scale were made
Invitations to their friends were given.
the walters on each side invited, the
cakes were baked and all such Drepa-
rations as are usual made for the oc-
casion. Everything went we'll until q
few days before the date set. when the
young man received a letter from his
first love, in which 1t is said she de-
clared that If he married another she
would end her existence.
This letter almost craZed the young
man and he also threatened suicide.
His family realized his condition and
kept close watch on him. but Sunday
before the day appointed for his mar
riage he eluded their viligance and
went to see girl No. l. They insti-
tuted search for him and finally found
him. in Il semi-conscious condition.
over in South Carolina. in charge of
girl No. l. who declared that they had
been regularly married. He didn't
seem to remember much of anything.
but did have Il very distinct recoIlec-
ton of some kind OF performance be-
fore a magistrate. He was taken back
to his home. but his condition has not
materially improved. His second in
tended has called on him and very
generously forgiven all. His mother
accounts for his awkward predicament
by saying that he has been subject. at
rare intervals during his life, to sea
sons of slight mental alteration, and
>fTut he was temporarily unbalanced
by the letter.
Out of respect to the feelings of tho
good people involved we have omitted
their names.

carrying passengers back and forth
from Plum Point to the station, and
money made from this and other
sources was used to aid his wife in
supporting his family
The goods conveyed in the assign
, ment did not pay off the creditors of
j. l.. Richardson, agent, and on the
5th day of January, 1899, Mrs Marian
IL. Richardson filed her petition pray
Ing to be adjudSed a bankrupt. After
wards j. j.. Richardson filed n petit
tion in bankruptcy, and claimed all
his property under what is known in
Virginia as the Poor Debtors Law"
which eXemptS certain specific chat
tells to householder or head of a
family" Marian II. Richardson filed
an amended petition and claimed her
real property under what is known as
the Homestead Exemption Law"
which eXempts to n householder or
head OF family" $4,000 free from levy,
garnishment or distress.
The title of the real estate is in the
wife. Marian II. Richardson, and the
husband testified the wife managed
the business of the family, had always
been regarded as the head OF the fam
lily since their marriage. and he was
an assistant or helpmate in getting
along. that she was postmistress, took
boarders, Sewed and was dress
maker. The petitioner on examination
testified she was al householder and
head OF family, she supported the
family by the income from the store
conducted by her husband as her
agent, and other sources.
nn1N-nl1eStiot-f,reSe ar
gued is whether being q married wo-
man, living with her husband, petit
toner is entitled to the homestead cx-
emption as "a householder or head of
family" as provided by the consti-
ton and laws of Virginia. No oues-
ton of procedure is involved as to
whether the bankrupt had properly set
UP a claim for the exemption.
In his opinion, Judge PurnelI says:
THE husband is generally and for
many purposes the head of the family
He owes it as a moral duty to sup
port his wife and chidren-a failure TO
20 so is in many jurisdictions made Il
crime. The records of the courts show
husbands do not always discharge this
and many other moral duties incun-
bent upon them When he fails in
these moral and legal obligations. when
an intelligent. active industrious. fru-
gal woman finds she has married n
man who instead of coming up to the
standard OF n husband is a mere de-
pendent. who acknowledges that he is
only helpmate to his wife. obeyS her
instructions, pourS his little earnings
into her lap, acknowledges her TO be
and to have always been the head OF
the family and leaves to her its sup
port, it would be contradictory of fact
and an absurd construction OF law to
say he and not she is the head of the
family and deny to her the benefits in
tended for the family out OF her sep
arate estate. property she has accu-
mulated, because the title is in her."

HEAD OF THE FAMILY.
JUDGE PURNELL SAYS 1T IS
SOMETIMES a WOMAN.

Raleigh, n. c.. Aug. 24.-The follow
ing is taken from the News and OBJ
server:
The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals at Richmond recently handed
down a decision that is of keen interest
not only to the bar. but to the laity
as well, on account of the absolute
uniqueness of the case. The case was
in the bankruptcy court and the Ques-
ton at issue was: lis married
woman, living with her husband, ever
the head of the family" Judge Pur
nell dicides that she may be. The
question arose from the ambiguous
wording of the Virginia homestead
law. but is one that could not occur in
North Carolina. The opinion was writ
ten by Judge Purnell. of this city.
The statement of the case is sub
stantially as follows:
Mrs. Marian II. Richardson, mar
ried woman. conducted a merchandise
business at Plum peipt. under the
style of j. l.. Richardson, agent. j. l..
Richardson. the agent was her hus-
band. She was the postmistress at
Plum Point. and the postoffice was kept
in the store and managed by her hus-
band. who conducted the business.
About the 10th OF May. 1898, Mrs.
Marian H. Richardson made an as
signment for the benefit OF her credi-
tors and closed the business.
The husbands chief income was from

An innovation in the postal service
TO all classes is IL plan lately adopted
by the department. of furnishing stamps
in little books. with wax sheets between
the stamps. The government Is to charge
one cent for the book additional to. the
amount of stamps contained therein, and
strange as 1t may seem Ii Is estimated
that the profit on these books at one cent
each will amount to some $20O, 900 per an
mum. 1t is also estimated that the sum
paid for the Private Revenue Stamps

lima towns relative to the political con-
ditions of this State. The suggestion
seems to be that they expect to meet
Mt Greensboro or Charlotte and for
mulate a resolution expressive of their
views of the situation, maintaining
that political and economic problems
are closely akin, and that they have
a right to speak as TO the latter. They
will publicly voice their depreciation
of the turmoil and bother that will
come to this State II the cry of negro"
is prolonged. and they will voice a wish
for conservatism and decency in poll
tics. This is talk given for what it Is
worth. 1t Is not idle, however, since
number of business men in the city
have declared that such Il movement as
the one described needed only judicious
leadership to make its elimination.
