AGAINST MIGRATORY DIVORCE"
Resolution Adopted by Congress at Wash
ington After Long Discussion.

Washington Feb. 20.-The congress on uniform
divorce laws, after prolonged debate to-day
adopted the following resolution against migratory
divorce:
When the courts are given cognizance of suits
where the plaintiff was domiced I'm a foreign
jurisdiction at the time the cause of complaint
il should be insisted that relief will not he
given unless the cause of divorce was included
among those recognized in such foreign domicile.
Regarding the adoption of the first resolution sub
mitted by the committee that it was the sense of
the congress that a federal divorce law was not
feasible, Governor Pennypacker said:
THE resolution has been adopted, and the first
step in the path of progress has been taken
The section declaring that State should
adopt legislation restricting the remedies afforded
by its statutes of divorce to it's citizens, was
adopted with notifications.

Another Trolley Line.

We were shown the other day the
blue profile of a trolley line survey
uraversing the territory suggested by
the Dispatch some time since, as be-
ing practicable route passing through
a good section of country inhabited
by well-to-do farmers and citizens
to back such road. This is on the
Saluda ridge up to Saluda court house.
The contemplated route from Brook
land touches Lexington and thence
by or..near Rocky Well direct to Mt.
Willing and on to Saluda court house
Information as to right of way, wealth
of country, &C., is being sought by
the promoters of the line. Ourpeople
should aid in the matter of right
away and place no obsticle in the way
of the route, and ere long they may
open their eyes to the reality of an
electric line through the country
Later you may learn more as we only
give this much out as information as
we received it to our people along the
proposed route.
