REASONS FOR STAY
OF THE INJUNCTION

Judge Lindsay himself granted the
stay of injunction issued by him on the

to move for dissolution of the in
junction without delay and, his affida-
Wit further stated, the premises were
kept in a, clean and sanitary condition
and the public could in no way be in
jured by a stay of the injunction.

Peculiar Custom That Prevails In

Uncles rule among the native tribes

Moreover, the quelied combatant is re-

When a man marries in these parts
his father provides the whereWithal to
purchase the bride, but it is the mater

a man in those parts may not utter

Where He Made HIS Money.

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south Of England and became very
popular in the neighberhood. The coun-
ty families could never discover how
he had made his money, but were sat-
isfied by his solemn assurance that It
was not in trade. Nothing could ex-
ceed the ordinary gravity Of his de-
meanor, which, indeed, caused him to
be placed on the commission Of peace,
but now and then, without any appar-
ent provocatspu, he would burst into
such a laugh as no one ever heazd be-
fore except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
rayed unconsciously by his OWL grand
child, who after visit to q travelling
circus innocently exclaimed, why,
grandpa laughs just like the clown"

TAKING ANOTHER NAME.
EothioS In the Law That Prohibits
Making ChanSc.

Making q ChanSc.
..custom has made it almost uniyer-
sal for all male persons to bear the
names of their parents" said an at
tachc OF the local court the other
morning. 1T seems Gatural thar Il
should be so. Nevertheless there IS
nothing in the laws of this country
prohibiting mans taking another
name, and no legal penalty is attached
TO his doing so. There is always, how
ever. possibility of it's being attended
with inconvenience and perhaps loss to
himself.
There is way by which man
may change his name with the sanction
Of the law, and that is the olly safe
way. But the law requires him to as.
sign some good reason for the change.
Men have assigned various reasons for
wishing to change their names. Sorae.
times a man wishes to drop his right
name because it is of foreign origin
and difficult for an American tongue to
pronounce. This may injure him in
his business, as there is such a thing
as prejudice even in this free and
enlightened commonwealth; or his
name may have in English an absurd
or even vulgar meaning and subject
him to unpleasant jokes; or it may as
sociate him with some notorious crimi-
nal or be the counterpart Of some name
which history made Infamous; or it
may be misspelled and consequently
mispronounced on his entry to this
country.
Frequently infants are left orphans
or abandoned by the father after the
death of the mother. In that case it Is
q frequent occurrence for relatives or
neighbors to take a child and adopt it,
giving it their own name. In that case
the party desiring to adopt must apply
by written petition to the court Of the
place in which be lives asking leave to
adopt the child and change its name
to that Of the petitioner. The order
allowing the adoption and the change
Of name must be fled with the court,
so that the real parentage Of the child
may be subsequently established if
necessary.
''When an adult applies for leave to
change his name he must give bis place
Of birth, residence, age and whether
he is married or single and whether
there are any judgments against him
or outstanding commercial paper in the
name which he seeks to abandon. If
in any Of these cases the court is satis-
fed there are no Objectionable reasons
the order is permitted granting a
change of name. The order must be
fled with the clerk, and thirty days
thereafter the new name may be as
surned. The granting Of the notice
must within ten days thereafter be
published in q newspaper designated
by the court.
''Thus the law protects the person
VINO for good and sufficient reasons de-
sires to assume a name other than his
own. The order Of the court being re-
corded, all the rights Of the individual
which may subsequently accrue to him
under his original name are preserved,
his identity being under the law fully
established ."-Washington Star.

The railroad rates are always
cheaper for the State Fair than at
any other time, and more people
come to Columbia durmg@tan
Week than during any other OF the
fftytwo weeks of the year. In tact,
pretty much everybody who IS any
body in South Carolina IS here DUR
ing Fair Week. Relatives, friends
and acquaintances from all parts
of the State gather in Columbia to
talk about the joys and sorrows OF
the wear. and to join in the festlvl-
ties Its the one week that is given
up almost entirely BY the people OF
the State towards having a good
time. and the family gatherings and
reunions that have already been
planned for the coming Fair Week
all go to show that this custom at
each succeeding State Fair is being
more emphasized than ever.
One Of the particular attractions
for a great many folks will be the
fact that the $50 cadets of Clemson
College will be encamped here dur
ing the entire Fair Week. They
will give dress parades and drills
each day while here, and will have
ample time in which to mingle with
their friends. 6
a great many people in this
State now are taking keen interest
in football. Two of the best games
of the year are played here during
each Fair Week. In one of these
games the team of the South Caro-
Ina College participates, and m the
other Clemson College engages.
Both of these teams are strong and
manly, and two exciting games are
to be expected.
The southern territory is devel-
oping a very strong horseracing
field. More and better horses are
brought here to participate in the
races The finest racet1ack In tins
territory is at the State Ear
Grounds, and it has been estsb-
lished at a considerable expense.
