A BUNCH Of LAND LAWS
Explaining the Rights of Mar
ried Women as to Home
stead Entries.
CORRECTS A PREVAILING IDEA
On a Subject That Has Created
Much Discussion During the
Past Few Weeks.

Through an erroneous Construc-
ton OF the land laws an impression
has gone out that a married women
con file on a homestead simply by
making application before legally
constituted official whose duty it is
to accept filings. Quite number
OF applications have been made for
such entries before the local United
States commissioner, and in some
instances the applicant has felt
aggri eyed because the officer did
not accept such applications at once
and without que 'tion. Only under
certain conditions can a married
woman file on a homestead, and
the following are those conditions
as set forth in a circular Issued by
the general land office at Washing
ton:
ffS,r:5S 4 a5aias 5zasf ss ,as Ahs M Muapas u.
the other qualifications of home
steader, may make a homestead
entry under any one of the follow
ing conditions:
Where she has been actually
deserted by her husband.
Where her husbapd is inCapaci-
tated by disease or otherwise from
earning a support for his family
and the wife is really the head and
main support OF the family.
Where the husband is confined
III penitentiary aud she is actual
ly the head of the family.
Where the married wcma1 is
the teir OF a settler or contestant
who dies before making entry.
wv here a married woman made
improvements ard resided on the
lands applied for before her mar
riage, she may enter them after
marriage if her husband is not
holding other lands under an uu-
perfected homestead entry at the
time she applies to make entry.
80 \ married woman can not make
entry under any of these conditions
unless the laws of the state where
the lands applied for are Situated
give her the right to acquire and
hold title to lands as a femme sole.
Ifan entryman deserts his wife
and abandons the land covered by
his entry, his wife then has the ex-
elusive right to contest the entry if
she has continued to reside on the
land, and on securing its canCella-
ton she may enter the land in her
own right, or she may. continue her
residence and make proof in the
name of aud as the agent for her
husband, and the patent will issue
to him.
"If all entryman deserts his min
or children and abandons his entry
after the death of his wife. the
children have the same rights the
wife could have exercised had she
been deserted during her lifetime.
Ii husband and wife are each
holding an original entry or a sec
ond entry at the same time, they
must relinquish one of the rntries,
unless one of them holds an entry
as the heir OF former entryman or
settler. III cases where they can
not hold both entries they may

THE FARMERS REoLUTIoNs-

Among the many good resolutions
passed BY the National Convention
Of the Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union at Shawnee last
week, none had better ring than.
the following:
Eve recognize and urge upon our
membership everywhere that diyersi-
saed farming ana stock raising must
ever be the foundation Of permanent
successful agriculture. Not only does
it add to the immediate comfort and
wellbeing Of the family. and the per-
manent value and usefulness OF the
farm, but the farmer with milk and
butter, beef and bacon. and fruit and
vegetables. does not need 10 consult
the banker about when lie markets

which he will hold It.

need Of its intelligent cultivation any
more than we can get away from the
body and from its nurture. What
ever stress. then, we may lay upon
art, science and religion, the funda-

They Will BE Used Later.

There has been considerable COM
plant on the part Of some people who
bought physical biographies for the
use Of their children in the graded
school when they were told that the
books would not be used. These books
being on the list as adopted by the
board of trustees of the graded school
for use in the school, were sold to
the people by Sims Book Store in
good faith, and the management of
that store was surprised when the
books were brought back with the
statement that the teachers said they
woud not be used. Major Glaze, the
chairman of the board, was seen
about the matter and he said he
would look into it. He has said
nothing to us about it, but we have
heard that the geography would be
used later. So those who have
bought them can keep them until
they are called for.

"THE NEST EGG"
Pleasing Comedy at the Opera House
Tomorrow Evening.

lOmOrEON CSCIuG'
In speaking of the performance
given in Richmond of that amusing
comedy, "The Nest Egg," The Times
Dispatch, says:
"simply pleasing. and pleasingly
simple, "The Nest Egg," from the
pen of Anne Caldwell, began the reg
ular dramatic season of the Academy
last night, and served to introduce
to a Richmond audience Lydia Knott,
whose popularity was attested by the
vigorous applause she received from
the audience which braved the rain
to enjoy two hours of real fun"
'The Nest Egg" is a story of life
in the upstate reaches of New York
Anne Caldwell has written well, and
Lydia Knott gets every bit possible
cut of the written lines. She is the
very personifcation of the York state
spinster--kind hearted, ready witted,
unconsciously meddlesome, always
doing the wrong thing at the wrong
time, in an attempt to help the cause
of others, but above all loveable in
her lonliness and charming in her
simplicity. But Lydia Knott is not
the whole show. There are just ten
people In the cast-and each one is an
artist. ........
Orangeburg theatre-goers will en-
Joy "The Nest Egg" as the opening
bill at the Academy of Music on to-
morrow evening. Prices Of admis-
sion are 75c, s1.00 and $3.50, and
tickets are now on sale at Lowman's.
A big crowd will be on hand for
the first show Of the season.
