AFTER MARRYING SQUIRE
License Law in South Carolina May
Ruin Business of Eccentric Notary.
IRv Telesrsnh 10 The Trlhnne

BY Telegraph 70 The Tribune
Columbia, S. g.. Jan. 22.-The state Senate
Of South Carolina is now busy discussing a
proposed marriage license law. Hitherto
there has been no statute Of this kind in the
state and II has not been even necessary
to get preacher to effect the contract. II
two people stand up together and say I'VE
are married" the contract is unbreakable.
During the debate the name Of the "mar-
rying squire" Willard q. Bales. OF York
County, has been frequently alluded 10.
Bales has married people. young and old,
early and often, for many years. and was,
in fact, such a nuisance that former Gov
ernor d. G. Hayward once revoked his IL
cense as q notary. Bales Is a curious
character, hut is out for business in the
marrying line, as IS indicated by one of his
/ advertisements, which reads:
| Call upon and visit the noted home Of squire
rna ,r.ed worlds famous pbanthropist and
! professional nupualist-His marriage ices arc
/ as follows:

Howard e. Carlisle. a young and ener-
getic Senator from Spartanburg County,
has introduced the bill that may take away
some of the marrying squires business. as
those qualified 10 perform the marriage
ceremony would be comparatively few and
carefully selected. The opposition is found
"a on the tradition Of South Carolina which
is strongly against divorce. and some Of
the Senators say that the new bill Is only
an entering wedge for divorce laws. The
state constitution prohibits divorce. and

necessary 20 make a change, but this does

Smith Men Seem Confident.

Tire result or be classed as a party bolter.
Shrewd observers look upon this pronun-

Senators and Assembymen who. as told

Smith May Get a Deadlock.

The situation as il now stands. as viewed
by one in close touch with It. Is that Mr.
MARITIME will win on the first ballot unless
Mr.. Smith is able 10 capture half dozen
legislators between now and Tuesday.
Even If nc should accomplish this. it will
not mean his selection, but IL will bring
about a deadlock and this. it is said, IS
Smiths secret ambition Just now.
once a deadlock has been effected the
former Senator will be in much better
control of the situation. lie Will know just
where every legislator stands. and it will
enable him 20 bring into PLAY every one of
his political wlles and every bit Of inlu-
ence tina; he can muster on those Assem-
hlymen and Senators who are opposing
him, and, if ne is still unable 20 win, he
can slip N a compromise candidate. some
one of his own choosing. and thus win q
partial victory.
A. a matter Of fact. IL looks very much As
though Mir MARITIME must win on the first
ballot. otherwise his chances will grow
simmer instead OF stronger. unless Gov
