for his money back at the office,

with the station master was also
unsuccessful. He afterward
wrote a number Of letters to the

He then commenced an action to
recover the three centimes.
He won the action in the lower
court. but the company took it to

courts dismissed the appeal and
the company was ordered to pay

Hon. John. L. McLaurin has
sold his home in Bennettsville
for SIG, 1000 and we are glad to see
that he has no idea Of leaving
the State, but that it is his in
tention to build another house IN
Bennettsville. The ex-senator
has not taken any active part in
politics recently, has attention
has been given to his private al
fairs. but although private citl-
zen he is regarded all over the
country from California toMaine
as one of the great men OF the
South, and the people every
where yet expect to see him aga
in in public life where his states
manshipis greatly needed. The
main reason why McLaurin is
not in public life today, is that
he is a man with a purpose, and
that purpose is to upbuild the
material interests Of the South,
this he cannotdo, and be a polit-
ical tool of selfish politicians,
and as long as the masses are
content to- be hoodwinked by po-
litical fakirs, Statesmen with
their country's interests at heart
will not permit themselves to
enter the public service.

A Marriage License Law.

The New York legislature has re-
Gently done what ought to be done in
South Carolina, enacted q marriage
license law, under the provisions of
which license must be obtained at
least FIVE days before marriage may
be legally performed.
One or two attempts have already
been made TO pass L marriage license
law in this State, but without success.
In every instance it was voted down
solely on the ground that it might
prove an entering wedge for divorce
law Not one, who opposed the meas.
ure, was able to advance q single solid
reason why the State should not have
such a law. All that its opponents
attempted was to raise a scare that 1t
might possibly lead to divorce, and
this was sufficient; for, unfortunately,
since the anti-divorce law of South
Carolina is worshiped as a sort Of
fetish, the average legislator usually
hasn't sense enough to see that a mar
riaee license law would have no bear
ing whatever on the subject of divorce.
The necessity of such u law. on both
moral and legal grounds. is very ap-
parent. 1t would do away with the
loose marriages that are now so preva-
lent. AS the law now stands, anybody
NAV marry couple in this State. 1t
frequently happens that persons under
the legal age get married. This has
occurred time and again in mill villages,
to the great scandal of good morals.
But the chief reason for the enact
ment of a marriage license law is one
of legal nature. Property rights Of
persons are often lost through their
Inability to prove a marriage. We
have had to come under our observa-
rion one or two cases of this sort, IN
which large landed interests. that
ought to have gone 10 the children,
were diverted and went 20 other par
ties, because the marriage Of the chill
dren's parents, who had moved to and
accumulated property in another State:
had not been made matter of record
in South Carolina. Persons that were
married fifty years ago would, we sus-
pect. find it very difficult to prove their
marriage. All the witnesses and the
officiating clergyman or magistrate
NAV be dead, or the certificate OF mar
riage. which is sometimes, but not
always, given the woman, may be lost.
In these circumstances, 1t would be
impossible to prove u marriage, and
vet on its proof might depend the prop
erty rights of children.
TO prevent the immortality that is
practiced under cover OF the
present loose marriage law, and TO
prevent children being cheated out OF
their property rights, every marriage
in South Carolina should be made 4
matter of record. Some day we may
get legislature that will take this
view and enact law providing for
licenses. Columbia Record.

ing tried in the justice court

manded a trial by a jury of his
peers. He could neither read
nor write, and the lawyer insisted
that the jury to be his peers, as
required by law, must be unable
to read or write. too. TO avoid
dispute I agreed to it, but we had
a time finding twelve men in To-
peka who could neither read nor
write. But we did find them and
the case went to trial.

two pieces of paper and wrote
Guilty on one piece and Not

The county of Chesterfield has
by q two to one vote decided to
wipe out the dispensary, anu IN
our Judgment every county with
the exception of possibly two or
three will do the same thing,
especially, when the vote is Goa
fined to a strict enforcement Of
the law with regard to voting.
In every county where a vote
has been taken not over one
third of the votes Of the county
were polled, and yet the anti
dispensary people claim the
election. The reason the vote
is so light, is because very few
men have their registration
tickets and tax receipts, and will
not take the trouble to look them
up. and without them they can
not vote. and further, the regis
tration books throughout the
State are in such a fix that we
doubt very much if the registra-
ton officers can tell whether the
law has been complied with. In
Chesterfield women took hand
at the polls, and many a weak
kneed creature in britches voted
against his judgment because he
could not withstand the entreat-
les of a lot Of women who had
better been at their homes look
ing after their domestic affairs.
If the women are to direct how
men shall vote, it would be far
better that the public affairs be
turned over to them, and let the
men stay at home to rock the
cradle or mend the clothes. We
have no patience with such tao
tics. It must be a sorry man
indeed who is not self-willed
enoughto be guided by his own
conscience, and permits himself
to be led by fanatlcal women.

The Georgia legislature has
adjourned, but it did not sing
"God be With Us Till We Meet
Again. The session broke up
almost in a riot and Governor
Hoke Smith was scored by mem
bers of the Senate who charged
him with lobbying. The enact
ment Of a prohibition law was
the most prominent feature Of
the session; just what will be the
outcome Of this legislation is yet
problematical. If Georgia can
enforce it's prohibition iegisla-
ton in anything like a decent
manner then there is a strong
probability that the wave of anti
liquor legislation will cover the
entire South. The tendency Of the
rural masses is towards prohibit
ton: this sentiment has been
worked up by the churches and
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, but in the cities the
same sentiment does not prevail,
and it is in these cities where the
authorities in Georgia will find
they will have a herculean task
and should it be shown that pro.
hibition in the cities Of that State
is farce, and the express com
panies with liquor from other
States, the virtual confscation Of
taxable property will have been
a mistake, and the result will be
that the pendulum of liquor leg
