ATTORNEY A. w. SCOTT WINS.
Prejudice Against Negro Attorneys
Repudiated-Daughter INDICATED.

NepuuldteQ-Ddugnte NIndICdted.
One of the hardest fought divorce
cases recently heard in the courts
of the District of Columbia, was the
case of Robert Johnson VS.. Beulah
Johnson. in which Johnson brought
suit against his wife for absolute di-
vorce, charging her with misconduct.
Attorney Tracy L. JeffOrds repre-
sented the husband, Robert Johnson.
and Attorney Almond w. Scott rep
resented Mrs. Johnson. the defendant.
When the. case came on for the tax
ing of testimony in his behalf, before
Examiner in Chancery, Lawyer Scott
succeeded in completely routing these
detective witnesses, and proved by
JOhnsOns witnesses, that the person
whom they declared to be the wife,
and whom thev testified they saw go
into the Piedmont House with a man.
was not Mrs. Johnson, the wife of the
plaintiff, but another woman alto
gether. On Friday morning last, the
husbands case against Mrs. Johnson
was dismissed
The Bee takes a special pride in this
victory won by Lawyer Scott, be-
cause it again demonstrates the fact
that Negro lawyer can get the
same results in the courts as a white
lawyer, if he knows the law and has
the ability to properly present his
case
Mrs. Bell Harris, the mother of
Mrs. Beulah Johnson, who employed
Lawyer Scott to defend her daughter,
informed a representative OF The Bee
that while this case was in progress,
she was besieged by numbers of Ne
groes who did everything in their
power to discourage her because she
had intrusted the case of her daugh-
ter in the hands of a Negro lawyer;
but Mrs. Harris informed those
"handkerchief-headed" Negroes that
she had confidence in the man whom
she had employed, and The Bee takes
pleasure in reminding these same Ne
groes that by the result of this case.
both Mrs. Harris and her daughter
have been fully rewarded by the po-
sitiOn which they took in this mat
ter The Bee takes extreme pleasure
in congratulating Mrs. BeuIah John
son upon her victory and vindication.

HE HAD WRONG RELIGION.

Charleston, s. c.. Nov. 8.-AlonzO
E. Twine, the colored attorney who
was arrested recently by the police on
the streets as a person "of unsound
mind" was yesterday taken to Column
bia as a patient for the COlOred ward
of the Hospital for the Insane. The
commitment papers were made out
by Judge of Probate George D..
Bryan.
Irvine was examined by a board
consisting of two physicians on We'd
nesday and, after a thorough investi-
CATION, was declared insane and
recommended for commitment to the
asylum for the insane in Columbia
Lawyer Twine in native of Char
lesion, where his father and mother
still live He IS a graduate of Claf-
lin University at Orangeburg. Among
the cOlored people of Charleston he
was considered a brilliant young man,
and was constantly in demand by the
intelligent classes for addresses and
lectures. He always measured up to
the expectation of his audiences.
His parents are members of the
Old Bethel NJ. E. Church on Calhoun
ST and Lawyer Irvine was brought
up in the Sabbath School of that
church. He afterwards became
member and a trustee of the Old
Bethel. But not long since one
Prof. Gregory of Washington, D. c.
came to Charleston and introduced a
new and a strange kind of religion.
This religion is called the religion of
Bahai" and Twine turned aside and
forsook the faith of his fathers and
accepted it. 1t is thought in Charles
ton that his espousing this new re-
ligion is the cause of his losing his
mind

SAYINGS OF OUR BACHELOR
GIRL.

Marriage is the miracle which
transforms a freside companion into
a rounder.
Filtration and office work are the
oil and water which the devil some
times tempts man to try to mix.
To a man, the most trying thing
about the modern woman is that she
simply cannot help having an idea
occasionally.
No, Clarice, married life doesn't
mean continuous devotion; it means
a continuous vaudeville with a change
OF moods every twenty minutes.
Funny that a man who knows
enough not to eat lobster salad with
ice cream never seems to realize that
it's just as bad form and just as dan
gerous to firt with two woman at
the same time
Good resolutions are the soothing
syrup with which man puts his con
science to sleep; he can enjoy his
little follies so much more when he
feels that he is just on the verge of
renouncing them, you know.
Mutual faith between husband and
wife is like a cobweb-easy to shat
ter, impossible to patch up
In the opinion of a cynical bachelor,
when it comes to matrimony all men
are 4 sad LOT and all women A sad
lottery

Jury in the blackmailing case
brought by Mrs. Mcfarland. The
evidence deduced was of such a ma
ture as to seriously reflect upon the
fair plaintiff, without incriminating
the defendant. Cook was simply
guilty of killing the goose that was
laying golden eggs for him. That S
all.
