ALIMoNY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Case of Interest Decided in the SUI
preme, Court Last Week.

Columbia, May 9.--The Supreme
Court to-day handed down decis-
lon of unusual interest, In this Justly
celebrated no-divorce State, which
from time to time has also manifest
ed superstitious fear of even a
married license law.
The formal entry on the Supreme
Court docket to-day was, ''Ex-parte
John e. Messervy in re- Messeryy VS..
Messervy. Ne exeat quashed and
prisoner discharged" Which being
translated means that the effort of
the young 18-year-old bride Of IT.
year-old John Messervy, in Charles
ton, has failed IN nor effort to have
her husband restrained from leaving
the State and deserting her.
Judge Memminger signed the ne
exeat order, which gave the young
man the alternative of putting up a
bond OF $4,000 or going to Jail.
His father went on his bond and
carried him home and kept him
there.
The couple were married by the
Rev. Father Duffy, of Bishop North
rop's personal staff, and went to Sa-
yannah to live. The father of the
groom went there two days later and
brought the groom back home.
Young Messervy says in his answer
that he did not fully understand the
meaning Of the ceremony he went
through and did not think he was
getting so much married at the time.
But while the court relieves him in
this case it affirms the finding Of the
lower court in the civil case brought
against him by his wife for alimony.
Pending settlement of alimony con-
tention the lower court signed an
order granting the wife $40 a month
alimony pendente lite and $500 suit
money to prosecute him with.
He pleads that he Is young and
has no means Of support, but the
court says this will not excuse
wealthy son If he is able-bodied.
Mrs. Messervy says in the court
papers that she has been deprived
of her place in the ten-cent, store in
which she was earning $3.50 week
and that her kin people are too poor
to support her.
