The Sentiment in the Legislature
Overwhelmingly Against Any
Obstruction Being Placed
in the Way of All Who
are Matrlmonially
Inclined.

In the House of Representa-
tlves at Columbia Wednesday Mr..
Bunch's bill to provide for a mar
riage license in this State and for
o record thereof, and to fix the
penalty for violation of the law,
was taken up.
Mr.. CASTOR explained the bill,
as substituted by the primary
committee. If the people of
South Carolina want q mprriage
license he thought that this was
the best possible bill. 1t does not
seek to get at the marriage con.
tract at ali, but seeks simply to
record marriages.
Mr. Fraser thought that the
marriage laws of South Carolina
were good enough as they are and
there was no need for the bill.
Mr.. Holman opposed the bill.
This bill was one which would
prevent the poor Seople of the
State from being married.
Mr.. Potts favored this bill, as
the people of the State needed
such Il law.
Mr. j p Thomas, Jr., thought
that this law was necessary to
preserve the sanctity of the mar
rage laws of South Carolina.
Mr.. Wingo said that for six
years he had opposed such bill.
South Carolina now stands higher
than any other State in the Union
in regard to morality. He saw
no need at all for such a law.
Mr.. Mccall favored the bill.
lie saw no reason why this bill
should work a hardship on the
poor people.
Mr.. Devon, of Edgefeld,
claimed that if this bill passed any
marriage without license will
make the marriage null and void.
Upon motion of Mr. Lesesne
the bill was indefinitely postpond.
