from some one i'll Charleston--ovidcnt

who asks us to star an agitation and try
to create a sentiment in favor of a divorce
law for South Carolina. OF course our
friend, whoever he may DO, has our sym.
pathy in his afiiiction, but we cannot see
our way clear to begin "war for indie
pendcnce" by way of tho establishment
of the divorce court. Let us suggest in
stead that those who have been so un-
fortunate rs to have made grave mstake O.,
instead OF consummating happy mar
riagc, make the best of a bad bargain, for
which, if the agGrievcd parties be mon,
they are doubtless responsible in the
main.
We need some things in South Caro-
Nna-nced them badly-but of all tho
things we do not need, the divorce law is
the least needed. Let the marriage vows
bo carried out by both parties and there
will be no use for n divorce law. In the
states whore divorces are granted the
law is abused and rcSortcd to on the
slightest prctcxt; ill-adviScd marriages
arc cOnsummated with little thought or
care for the future. Why care? If
either party finds in Il few weeks, or
months, OF years, that he or shc prefers
single life, why, there is tho divorce
court ready to unite tho marriage knot,
30 undo the work of God, or that which
through hypocrisy, wanton carclcssncss,
criminal thoughtlcssuess or foolish disre-
&ard of the sanctity of the marriage rite,
bears on the surface at least the stamp
of holiness.
"Whom God hath joined together let
NO man put aSundcr." Instead OF tho
divorce court as a rcmcdy let us work for
Il sentiment that will foster purity of
motive and strict compliance with the
marriage VOWS Tho courts of law in
this State are amply sufficient to meet
aR demands as to domestic relations We
dG not want the divorce court evil in
SouCn Carolina. Whore it might pos
,,iDiy prove a blessing in one case it
would prove curse in Il hundred.
WIZ we start the agitation and try to
create sentiment in favor Of the divorce
law in South Carolina? Not on your

knights Of Pythias at Anderson.

The first district convention OF Dis
trict No. s, of the Knights of Pythias Of
South Carolina was held in the castle
hall of Chiquola lodge at Anderson on
Tuesday of last week. Representatives
were present from all the lodges in the
district, and the occasion was very
pleasant one as well.
The object of the convention was a
general conference in regard to Pythian
affairs and tho good of the order" The
sessions were secret aud nothing that
was done was given to the outside pub
lie. Those who were present, however,
expressed themselves as more than
pleased with the convention and it's re-
suits.
District Deputy Grand Chancellor
James Thompson, of Walhalla, presided,
and among the delegates were Il number
of the prominent members of the order
in this section of the State.
Tuesday evening the members of
Chiquola lodge rendered the visitors Il
smoker in the Court House. This was n
very pleasant affair, light refreshments,
as well as the cigars, being served.
After the social session the lodge went
into secret session, and the secret work
of the order was exompiiied by some of
the more skilled members of the order.
The next meeting of the convention
will be held at Eas!cy oil the third Tues
day in February.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.

We noticed last week that tho Clayton

charter for the Tennessee, Georgia and
South Carolina Railway. Comments on
this the Tribune says:
We call attention to tho application for
amended charter of tho Tennessee, Geor-
gia and South Carolina Railway. Some
four or five years ago wo printed map
of n system of proposed railroads cross
ing at Clayton, only to receive from some
smiles of derision. At that time the pro-
posed road, running cast and west, was
called the Missing Lin| Railway" One
man wrote from Florida that ho had
found the long lost missing link, but
now it seems to DO almost certainty
that the proposed road will come, and
the map will be reproduced in reality
We could go into long details and show
the practicability and many good reasons
why capital would be we'll invested in the
enterprise. 1t is enough to say now that
the outlook is good for tho road. Only a

HERE'S little item that may be of in
terest to our Charleston friend who feels
so deeply the need of divorce law:
Vienna, October S.-The Society of Di-
vorced People, men and women, has de-
cidod to issue Il weekly paper, called The
Gazette for the Divorced The Gazette g
purpose is to educate the masses that dl-
vorccd ladies and gentlemen should not
be looked upon as sccondclass persons,
socially aud otherwise.
"Tho Gazette" would doubtless oe
glad to undertake the task of creating a
sentiment for divorce law in South
Carolina. It's long way off, of course,
but then the paper would not need to de-
part from its regular line of business.

"woak DAY' OFFERING FOR EPwoRTH.

The Courier is in receipt of the follow
ing appeal from Superintendent Whar-
tou, of the Epworth Orphanage:
We have planned to have "Work
Day" offering i'm favor of the Epworth
Orphanage, on October 20th. We desire
to have as many people as will to donate
their earnings of that day TO the support
of the Orphanage.
There are thousands of men and wo-
men, boys and girls, who could well af-
ford to give the earnings OF one day to
the support of a cause so worthy and
deserving as that of providing for the
more than one hundred fatherless little
ones placed under the care of the Metho-
dist church in South Carolina, for sup
port aud training. II will be II small mat
ter to the individual tu make this contri-
button, but the gifts of the many will ag-
grogate Il helpful sum for the care of the
orphans. Let some one be appointed in
every community to take charge of the
offerings and remit to us, but If prefera-
BILE the individual may send his own
Offering. We hope the children through
out the State will be encouraged to take
an active part in this matter, aud that all
the friends of the orphans will cooperate
with us in making the day success.

port of the little ones at Epworth.
Amounts sent to The Courier will be
acknowledged and forwarded, if any pre-

Death Of Mrs. Nancy C. Harris.

1t becomes our painful duty to record
the death of our old friend, Mrs. Nancy
G. Harris, which sad event took place at
O'Farrell, Cass county, Texas, September
2Sth, 1904, seventy-seven years and seven
days old. Mrs. Harris's maiden name
was Rimmer, born September 81, 1927, in
Anderson district (now county,; married
to Samuel p. Harris February %, 1874,
by Rev. Joseph Hillhouse. Mrs. Harris
was member of the Presbyterian church
at Townville. In early life she united
with that branch of the church and ever
after walked the way of a true Christian.
None doubted her piesy. Three years
ago she left South Carolina for Texas,
there to live with her daughters. The
last year or so she suffered much pain,
yet bore it all as faithful Christian.
She left several children and large
circle of other relatives and friends to
mourn their loss. Our loss, we trust, is
her everlasting gain. An Old Friend.
A dispatch from Kilo, Texas, under
date of October Tth, says that III. G..
Watson, a farmer, was shot dead in a
pistol duel by his son Ben, in the pres
ence of his wife, the boys mother. The
father and son had dispute over di-
vision of crops. The father shot three
times and the boy once. The latter is in
Jail.

WHAT TAX ASSESSOR AND COL

DO WITH THE MONEY

At yesterday afternoons meeting Of
the Board Of Supervisors Assessor
Iaukea in arguing for the smaller
bond declared that he didn't intend that
there should ever be any county money
in his possession over night He would
not receive money after three in the af-
ternoon and would deposit with the
treasury daily.
Lucas wanted to know if Iaukea was
going to refuse to receive taxes at 3
o'clock on the last day for payments
and then charge a penalty for delin-
quency on the next day. and said that
such a system was ABSURD.
Iaukea replied that probably the
treasurer would be willing on such oc-
casions to arrange to receive money
after banking hours. Hooking also ask
ed several questions, as to work of
making daily statements. After the
vote fixing the bond at $150,OOO, IaulSea
left the meeting and it is understood
that he will make an effort to get the
bond.

THE LAST GRAND Jury.

EDITOR STAR:-Judge Robinson in
his charge to the Territorial Grand Jury
yesterday, makes the claim by implica-
ton, that the last Territorial jury ex-
pended S25 or $50 of the funds of the
Territory, merely for the purpose of as
certaining and reporting that a cess
pool at the Asylum was insufficient, etc.
The point made by the judge may be a
good one for the purpose of adjoining
his charge, but as a matter of fact and
in Justice to the jury, the public should
be informed that part of the jury Wis
tied the Asylum and Penitentiary the
same day that a regular session of the
jury had been held ana that the con-
veyance was paid for by Mr. Samuel
Parker and therefore the taxpayers
were not out $25 or $50, but in fact moth
ing.
