DIVORCE LAW OF
SOUTH DAKOTA IS
PUT TO THE TEST
Claimed That It Is Glass Leg
islation and Therefore I'm
constitutional.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 1.-The.
state divorce law may have to prove
Its constitutionality in the near future,
rs a result of a divorce proceeding
brought before Judge Jones.
The plaintiff in tho action is a wom-
an prisoner in the state p~enitentiary,
and had not lived in Minnehaha eoun-
ty more than three months before
dence in the penitentiary does not
count in the eyes of the law.
The consequence was that Attorney
General Clark, who represents the
woman's husband. demanded that a
change of venue be taken to the county
in which the woman had formerly re-
sided. Judge Jones accordingly dis
ton.
The contention of Sam Wright, the
attorney TO- the plaintiff in the case,
is that the divorce law of 1907
Which was submitted under the ref
erendum of 1908, is class legislation,
and therefore violates the 18th amend
ment TO the federal constitution, and
OF section IS, article 6, of the state
constitution, which reads as follows:
No law shall be passed granting
any citizen or class of citizens or
corporation. privileges or immunities
which upon the same terms shall not
equally belong to all citiZAns and cor
p~orations.'
There is now a case pending on APP
peal in the supreme court of South Da-
kota, which challenges the constitu-
tionality of the present divorce law,
but Sam Wright stated yesterday that
appellate proceedings were usually
slow and the suggested procedure in
the case noW being pushed by him,
would probably result in al earlier de-
termination han would come through
the case now pending on appeal.
The divorce case referred to may be
made a test case.

A Model Jury.

If every band of men called to
serve our State IN the capacity of
jurors would perform their duty as
faithfully and thoroughly as the
jury that Judge Niles impaneled
here last week the blind tigers and
other criminal beasts would soon be
as rare in Mississippi as a genuine
crockodile.
Over two hundred bills found by
one grand jury-what a record.
That SOUNDS like it is worth while
to have courts and juries and the
Searchlight wishes to hold this jury
up as an example to, other men who
will sooner or later be called upon
to serve our State in a similar
way.
Judge Niles. District Attorney
Lee, and Mr.. Wimberley all deserve
the highest congratulations for the
fearless, thorough and conscientious
way that they have performed
their duties. And strange as it
may seem to some people and to
some papers, these faithful officers
are all enthusiastic advocates OF
the Law Enforcement Leagues.

The FurlOns Bequests.

State Treasurer George R. Ed
wards, Jr., has been summoned to
appear in the surrogate's court OF
the county of New York, N. Y, on
June 20, in the hearing for judi
cial settlement of the matter of the
will of the late Gen Charles E..
Furlong, whereby five of the State
institutions of which the State
treasurer is the custodian of funds
are to receive $5 900 each from the
will
There are many other legateas
under the will, including the Con-
vent of Mercy at Vicksburg,
Christ Church, Vicksburg. and
other Mississippi institutions, and
numerous charitable institutions
elsewhere
Gen. Furlong was famous car
petbagger in Mississippi during the
period of the rule when that ele-
ment was in the ascendency, and a
good deal of surprise was created
in this State when the provisions
of his will were made public. The
Mississippi institutions referred to
are the University Of Mississippi,
Deaf and Dumb Institute, Insane
Hospital, Blind Institute and AL
corn A. and M. College. the latter
being negro Institution, and the
A. and M. College for white boys
at StarkviIle. having been omitted.
Furlong lived several years in
Vicksburg, and was celebrated for
| his many eccentricities, which are
typified in his will.
1t is learned that, after the in
heritance tax demanded by the
State Of New York is deducted,
there will not be sufficient money
left from the estate to pay all the
llegacies in full, and it is estimated
that the FIVE institutions mentioned
will get something like 1000 in
stead Of 1000.

McCOmb Lawyer Slapped by a Woman.

McComb, Miss, May 2o.-A
breezy little sensation, following
as the aftermath of a police court
trial, occurred here yesterday
evening when Mr.. K. q. Williams,
a prominent young member of the
McComb bar, was given whipping
by Mrs. Caswell, a white lady who
recently moved here from Chicago.
Mrs. Caswell had been boarding
with family named Wilson. On
yesterday she had Mr.. Wilson and
his daughter arrested on the
charge of breaking open her trunk.
Mr.. Williams was retained to de-
fend the Wilson's, and the trial was
exceedingly breezy. During the
hearing Mr.. Williams referred to
Mrs. Caswell's Chicago smile, +"
and made other remarks which she
regarded as not very compliment
tary.
After the trial Mrs. Caswell met
Mr.. Williams OH the street and
slapped his face. He followed her
up and demanded an apology,
whereupon Mrs. Caswell picked up
chair bottom and assaulted him
vigorously. This occurred in front
of Heidenrelch's hardware store,
and Mr.. Heidenreich interfered
with the hostilities before Mr..
Williams received injuries of ser
ious character.
The affair has created much
amusement, and Mr.. Williams,
who is one Of the most popular cit
liens of the community, is being
rather severely "joshed" by his
friends.

months the length of time he has
made Brookhaven his home. Last
night. as is his frequent custom,
Kennedy called on Miss Matilde

lives with her parents in the Cur

After a misunderstanding be-

left Miss Horns residence, telling
her that it was a last farewell
After walking about a block
towards the main part of the city,
a shot rang out, accompanied by
screams that could be heard half a
mile. In a few minutes, still
screaming, Kennedy made his way
back to the Horn homestead and
fell in the parlor. Miss Horn be-
came hysterical at once. Neigh
bors and friends rushed in and
gave what assistance was possible

Press Convention AdiOurns.

Vicksburg, Miss, May 20.-The
forty-fourth annual session of the
Mississippi Press Association ad-
journed at 6 O'Clock this evening,
after the most successful meeting
in its history. The feature of the
days proceedings was the selection
of the next place of meeting, the
little town of New Albany defeat
ing Natchez, Brookhaven and West
Point for the honor of entertaining
the association in 1910, after a
spirited contest.
Natchez would have won hands
down but for the fact that no
members Of the press from that city
were in attendance. and it is an
unbroken rule of the association to
go only where it is invited by a
member Of the fraternity. West
Point was in the same predicament.
The contest narrowed down to an
oratorical battle between the repre-
sentatives Of New Albany and
Brookhaven, B. T. Hobbs cham
pioning the cause Of Brookhaven
and S. Joe Owen of New Albany,
and A. G. Anderson of Ripley

will spend about $500, 900, 900 while

they go. Why not visit our own
