Was Divorced In Georgia and Married
Again In South Carolina.
COLUMBIA, S. O., July 25.-The non
divorce law of South Carolina will again
come up for judicial decision as to
whether a man who has obtained di-
vorce in Georgia is liable to criminal
prosecution for bigamy, or whether the
marriage shall be simply declared void
The case arises from a marriage cere-
mony performed by Justice Smith. He
united in marriage A. M. Rogers and
Miss Josephine Lawson. The couple
were married at a friend s residence, and
a constable came in about midnight and
arrested the groom on the charge of
bigamy. The warrant was sworn out by
the brides father, who claims that Rog-
ers has wife living. Rogers was taken
to jail.
Rogers married woman In North
Carolina and brought her back here,
where the couple have lived. Last year
he went to Augusta with his wife,
where, he says, he got divorce.

SAYS ENGLAND IS RESPONSIBLE

An Englishman, Mr., FL. M, Hynd-
man, makes the broad charge that
is responsible for the terrible
famine which is now pevailing in Brit
ish India. The facts which he pre-
sents in support of his charge are con-
vincing, says the.Savannah News
British India is poor country, so
poor that large portion of the people
are all the while on the verge of star
vation. It is estimated that the aver
age per capita earnings annually of the
$50, 600, 900 people are not over $7-that
is; the average yearly earnings of a
family of five not over $35. But Eng
land exacts taxes to the amount of $3.50,
900, 900 a year. The bulk of the taxes
is On land, though about everything is
taxedfrom which a rupee can be raised.
The result of this excessive taxation
is that the peasantry never have
enough to eat, because they are COM
PEELED to sell pretty nearly all they
raise to pay their taxes. They are able
to save nothing for improvements OF
their land or for storing grain to tide
them over famine periods.
For centuries Hindostan has oftimes
been visited by famines of greater OF
loss extent and severity, but it is very
seldom that there is famine so ex-
tensive as the one this year. In the
olden time, before British rule began,
great reservoirs for the storage OF
water were built and kept IN repair, and
grain was stored in years of plenty to
meet the demands of years of famine.
Now, owing to the steady demands
of the British tax gatherer, the great
reservoirs are becoming ruins and nc
grain is stored against the coming of 9
famine. The people have not the
money with which to keep the reser-
voirs in repair and they have no grain
to store after they have paid their tax
es. And it is asserted that the land is
steadily deteriorating. The outlook
for British India is certainly gloomy,
Other famines are certain to come
and the people will be less able to con-
tend against them than they are to
contend agaist the present one.
It is said that even this year, when
food and clothing is being sent from
this country to aid the starving mil
lions of India, England has drawn
from the country over $50, 900, 900, and
it must not be forgotten that of the
40, 900 officeholders in India more than
two-thirds are Englishmen who draw
for their services $75, 900, 900 annually,
while the native officials are paid only
about S15, 600, OOO
If it be true, as stated, that England
is largely responsible for the terrible
condition of affairs IN India, she ought
to take care of the people in time OF
famine. She ought not to expect this
and other countries which derive no
benefit whatever from India to furnish
food and clothing for the starving peo-
pie. The statement has been made
that the government of India has beer
doing great deal for the starving PEG
pie, It is evident that it has not done,
and is not doing, all that it could do.
The millions of dollars that England
has drawn out of the country this year
ought to have been used in purchasing
supplies for the people.
