Margaret Ellie Mason Is no more.
They laid her tiny body in grave
beneath an old oak tree behind the
Henrico Almshouse yesterday after
noon.
Death claimed the little waif yes
terday morning after q night of suf-
fering, and though she did not close
her big blue eyes once during the
night, not whimper escaped her
lips.
Margaret was only month old
and there are some who say IL Is
far better that her earthly existence
has ended. Her advent in this world
brought no happiness to her mother
and father and they abandoned her.
They placed her in large hat box

child Of their own. But the chill
morning air had given the babe a
cold. Besides. she missed her moth

DIR. Collins, the almshouse physician,

had little hope for Margarets re-

score or more persons called to
see the child and arrangements had
been made to place her in a home

the visitors suggested that Mrs. Jones

MARRIAGE LICENSES
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
HOUSE HAS PASSED SENATE BILL
AFTER FIGHT.
Several Minor Amendments to b'
Agreed Upon Before Bill Goes to
Governor Blease.

Columbia, Feb. 2.-The house has
passed the senate bill requiring mar
riage licenses, with a few amend
ments, and the bill aas gone to con-
ference, and will become law.
Debate on Bill.
The marriage license bill was the
first Measure ITO have serious ccns1d-
eration today. Mr.. Nicholson, OF
Greenwood, made an able argument in
favor of THE bill. He insisted that If
the pending bill could in amy way Lead
to divorce he would not favor it. Much
raight be said of the marriage tie IN
this State, but he for one did not think
THINGS were so lovely. The courts, he
held, are getting close to divorces by
annulling 1narria ges. He cited the re
cent decision by which Judge Sease
annulled a marriage at Spartanburg.
After an extended debate the senate
bill was substituted for the Nicholson
house bill and was passed. A test vote
showed 66 for the bill and 81 opposed.
Smith Amendment Adopted.
The house agreed to an amendmen
ibv Mr.. Kurtz Smith, providing that
nothing lin the act should prevent
proof of marriage according to means
NOW recognized. Another amendment
was THAT both parties to a marriage
should sign the return of the ottlclat-
ing minister or officer upon the license
form. By another amendment the Tee
was sought to be reduced from 81 to
% cents, but this was rejected The
house passed also the Brice amend
msant, making the law effective July l,
1911.
Provisions Of the Bill.
The bill makes it unlawful for any
nerson to contract natrimony without
license, and any officer or person per
forming a, marriage ceremony without
production of a license is subject to a
fine of not more than 500 nor less
than SIS or imprisonment of not more
tfaan 80 days nor less than ten days.
No license is to be issued when the
7r,o7,,an & 17nder IA or the man under
i8. In some ,of the counties the license
is to be issued by the probate Judge
and in some by the clerk of COURT 70
cents to go ITO the officer, and the re-
naining IS cents Ito the county.
