AGAINST DIVORCES.
Great Episcopal Convention Takes a
High Stand
AGAINST MATRIMONIAL LAXITY.
The Convention Decides That Minis.
tiers Shall Not SolemniZe the Mar
riage of Certain Divorced Persons.

San Francisco, Special-The action
of greatest Importance taken by the
Triennial Episcopal Convention was
the adoption by the house Of bishops,
by vote of 81 TO 81, Of Canon So.
which relates to the solemnization OF
the marriage. All of its provisions had
previously been argued, except those
contained IN section 4. which forbade
tie marriage Of persons divorced for
any cause not existing before marriage
For any cause not existing before
marriage is understood TO refer to
such causes as insanity, inability TO
execute contract, the existence Of .
living wife or husband, or like reasons
which practically render the marriage
null and void. This section has been a
bone Of contention, strong element in
the Church holding that the re-mar-
riage Of the innocent party to a di-
vorce, granted on the ground OF inf
deity, should not be forbidden. The
bishops have refused to accept this
view Of the matter. The question is by
no means settled. as the whole subject
ties. where it is expected to cause
protracted debate. The canon as finally
passed by the house Of bisops reads:
Canon 36-Of the Solemnization Of
Matrimony.
u. The solemniZation Of matrimony
in this Church. in which the mutual
consent of each party entering into
this state Of life is given in the pres
ence of q minister who, having pro-
nOunccd them in the name o. the Holy
Trinity to be man and wife, invokes
the divine blessing upon their union.
20 The requirements CT the laws Of
the State regarding the conditions for
the civil contract of marriage shall in
all cases be carefully observed, before
the marriage is solemnized.
"3 No minister shall solemniZe the
marriage Of any person who is minor
under the law of the place Of marriage,
unless the parent of guardian Of suca
minor is present and consenting, or
shall have given written consent to the
marriage, or is permanently resident in
a foreign country. No minister shall
cOlemnize marriage except in the
presence Of at least two witnesses, the
minister or the witnesses being per
sonally acquainted with the parties.
Every minister shall without delay for
mally record in the proper register the
name, age and residence Of each party.
Such record shall be singned by the
minister who performs the ceremony,
and If practicable by the married par
ties. and by at least two witnesses OF
the marriage.
a No minister shall solemn!Zo
marriage between any two persons tn
less. nor until by inquiry, he shall
have satisfied himself that neither per-
son has been or is the husband Or the
wife of any other person then living;
unless the former marriage was an
nuled by a decree Of some civil court
OF competent jurisdiction for cause ex-
isting before such former marriage.
The bishops have yet to CONSIDER
Canon 81, providing for the discipline
of persons marrying after having been
divorced. This also will cause lively
discussion.

GEN. HAMPTON FOR SENATOR.
Col. Jones Witcd-aws ard Suggests
His Election

A statement was given the press
on Saturday b. Col. Willie Jones, the
chairman CT the Democratic party in
this state, who has been an ayowed
candidate for senatorial honor5, which
will set the people and the politicians
Of the State to thinking and talking.
Col. Jones withdraws from the race,
and in doing so makes the suggestion
that the other candidates for Senator
McLaurin's seat step aside also, and
let the position be UNANIMOUSLY ten
dered to Gen. Wade Hampton. Here
is what Col. Jones says Of the matter
in his statement:
Il have concluded not to enter the
race for the United States senate next
year, because feel that cannot give
up my home business interests, unless
there be a special demand for it.
have very large personal acquaint-
arce with the Democrats Of this State
Judging from letters received and
many persona, interviews l feel salts.
fed that my chances for the nomina-
tion to this distinguished position
would have been fully as good as that
of any candidate whose name is now
mentioned in connection with the SEN
atorship. | would have no political
fear to run against any man in this
State except two, namely, Senator
Tillman and Gen. Hampton, because
l believe either Of them could beat me
or any other man in the State.
by the way, think the very best
solution Of the senatorial contest
would be for all Of the young men
who are now candidates for the place
to announce their withdrawal on the
condition that Gen. Wade Hampton
accept the position and let the old
general be elected without opposi
ton.
Without any reflection upon any
candidate now in the field | believe
that Gen. Hamptons views on ma
tional politics meet with the approva!
of practically all the Democrats in the
State. Such a happy and gracious
event as the selection Of Gen. lamp
ton at this particular time would
make the Democratic party OF this
State absolutely irrestable and save
us of much agitation and feeling when
there is so much else for our people
to do.
81 happened in 1877 to be one OF
the six Democratic boys who carried
Gen. Hampton on our shoulders from
the platform where he was Inaugural
ted through the streets OF Columbia
to the hotel. and today again it would
be my great pleasure to cooperate N
elevating him to this high position,
because | believe it would be for the
good Of the great Democratic party
OF my State"

taken in the militia. He visited CheS
ter. Yorkville. Rock Hill, and Fort

ant general, who responded in lis
usual happy style to frequent calls
for speech.
Gen. Floyd intends personally to
visit every military company in the

Office prevents.

Yorkville company, for instance,
showed up 5S men and rifles. The
commander of the new company at
Rock Hill is Capt. Dunlap, who was
an officer Of the Second South Caroli-
ma regiment. U. S. V.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

he Florida Railroad Commissioners
met Wednesday in the office of Chair
man Day, for the consideration OF sew
eral important matters. Those pres
ent were Commissioners H. E. Day, J.
NJ. Bryan and J. L. Morgan.
The case against the South Georgia
Railroad Company was heard and an
understanding arrived at. The Rail
road Commission last April ordered
certain rates to be effective on this
road, and in October rates were put in
operation contrary to the ruling of the
Commission.
The railroad company was repre-
sented before the Commission by Hon.
Henry G. Turner and Hon. J. T. Davis,
of Quitman. The attorneys stated
that the new rates were adopted not
through any disrespect for the Com
mission, nor with the object of evad-
ing it's rulings. They agreed that the
rates ordered by the Commission
should go into effect at once, but
stated that an application would be
made for an increase, as the rates were
entirely too low.
A meeting of the Commission will be
held January z. 1902, at which time the
application will be made and acted on

FHE BEST IN THE WORLD.

We would call the attention OF our
readers to the advertisement of the
ROyaI Worcester Corset Co. in another
column in this issue of our paper.
This concern has appropriated 4
large amount of money to bring the
merits of their goods to the attention
OF Southern women They ROYAL WOr-
cester and Bon Ton COrsnls are IA
nous the world over. the Company re
ce1Ving at their Office IL Worcester,
Mass, inquiries from Eurupa. the
Orient and from ali parts of the wUlid,
proving that the RDYal Worcester Cor
set is Superseding the European made
article, because it is a better corset
and fits better. No higher compliment
could be paid the skill and honesty of
purpose displayed in the manufacture
Of the Royal Worcester and Bon Ton
COrsets than the fact that many of the
leading manufacturers in various parts
of Europe have copied their designs.
The fact that the Royal Worcester and
Bon Ton CerSets are the best fitting
and best constructed cOTSetS now be-
fore the public, coupled with the fact
that they are American corsets
through and through, makes it reason
able to every woman that she is con-
Sulting her own interest if See wears
no other corset but these.
Merit and value make an article pop
ular and worldwide in reputation.
These qualifications are shown in the
Royal Worcester and Bon Ton COrsets,
and inquiries for them are measured
only by the limits of the civilized
world.
From the demand that is now being
made for these cOrsets in the South, it
certainly must seem that no others will
approach them in sales in this terri
tory. Nearly every woman is familiar
with them, but If not your dealer will
tell ali about them and point out the
many ways in which they excel other

A BIG FORCE AT WORK.

Mr.. Thomas H. Hall, proprietor of
Panacea Mineral Springs, spent two or
three days in the city this week. His
family is down at the springs with him
and they are, as usual, enjoying them
selves immensely.
Mr.. Hall says he has several teams
from his farm in this county and about
thirty hands engaged in improving
the property. They are hauling saw
dust and rock and making hard roads
to the beach, rock landing and to the
springs from the hotel.
They are also leVeling up and COM
pleting the work on the train road to
SOpchOppy, which has been in opera
ton all summer, but was never really
completed. That is, it was not prop
erly leVeled and finished.
A big saltwater bath house is also
being built at the point nearest to the
hotel, where, he says, they will have a
splendid bottom and make it a great
convenience for guests.
Hunting and fishing in that vicinity
are both exceptionally fine this season,
and the guests of the hotel have 4
fine time The ponds and small lakes
are full of ducks, the bay alive with
wild geese and the woods full of wild
turkey and quail.
Numerous inquiries are coming in
each mail, he says, from Northern peO-
pie who are coming down this winter,
and every Indication points to having
the hotel full by the 10th of January.

IAMONIA LOCALS.

IamOnia, Dec. 5.-Capt. r. P DoSs,
eX-sheriff of Thomas county, Ga, went
down to Tallahassee last Friday and
back to ThOmaSVllle last Saturday. He
was in pursuit of stolen morse, and
succeeded in getting the animal. He
repeated the round trip IN Monday and
Tuesday of this week and on SimiIa"
business, we believe, with success
Scenes of mirth and mourning alter
nate. very rapidly in this world. On
Wednesday of last week we witnessed
a wedding at our home, and On last
Wednesday we conducted the burial
service over the grave of little sweet
x-year-Old girl, the only daughter of
our near and beloved neighbOrs, Mr..
and Mrs. Ed. R. Murray. Little Ellie
nor was a bright and lovely child, the
idol of her parents. But the Savior has
taken her and she rests in peace.
She was buried in the Dclocknee
(Baptistl church cemetery at Susina,
Thomas county, Ga. She fed with
congestion of the brain.
Several new and rOOmy frajne dwell
ing houses have been and fre being
erected at and near Susina, Sand they
are owned by colored people, too. Who
can say that the negro in the South is
not thriving, especially when he at
tends to his own business and behaves
himself? Also, the cOlOred people own
and run two stores at Susina, and one
of the stores is built Of brick. More
over, we have heard of two other COL
Ored families who have bought land
not four miles from IamOnia.
If our young, energetic white men
do not stir themselves and buy homes,
the negro will soon own the major part
of this country.
There is a considerable call for bar
rels for syrup this fall, and We think
that barrel factory would thrive near
here, more especially since there is a
cypress swamp not more than a mile
from this place, from which barrel
timber could be procured.

unnecessary to say that all who attend
will enjoy themselves.
The Kings Daughters are noted al
most as. much for the excellence of
their bazaars and other social gather
ings as they are for their benevOlence.
The order is non-sectarian, being
composed Of members from All the diff
ferent churches. Their object is to
look out for the care and comfort OF
the poor, sick and needy, and every
person in the city should take pride in
helping them along.
Dinner and supper will be served.
Just notice the array of good things
and ask yourself how you can afford
to miss them: Roast turkey, turkey
salad, oysters, raw steWed- and fried;
ice cream and delicious cake of every
kind, and an abundance of Christmas
candies.l
There; will be the usual display of
fancy work suitable for Christmas

be offered for you to purchase some
thing beautiful and useful to present
to friends or loved ones.
