MRS. TENNEY WINS
SUIT FOR DIVORCE

Mrs Emma S. Tenney,s petition for
a limited divorce from her husband,
George =. Ienney. is granted in a de-
cision rendered by Judge Grinnan in
the chancery court Saturday. Tenney's
cross bill for absolute divorce is de-
MED. while the question OF alimony
is deferred for future consideration.
Judge Grinnan says in part: Upon
her bills and proofs, the plaintiff has
made out case OF desertion on the
part of the defendant and there is
nothing In the record that will disen-
title her to divorce The defendant
has not established the charges that
he makes against his wife. There
are many of these charges, some of
which were dropped t,f argument. BIT.
meme deserves a moments considera-
ton except that charged to have
taken place at the Teuuey home In
Spartanburg in 1905. This charge
rests entirely upon the evidence of
negro man servant whose statements
are contradicted and also improb-
able in some particulars. and which,
II accepted ~ wholly true. would not
sustain the charge"
Regarding Tenney's plea that he
could not live with his wife, the court
says: There II nothing in the record
which can Justify dessrtion in the law.
Desertion is not sustained except upon
grounds for which the deserving party
could successfully maintain a bill for
divorce. To estab lish a rule different
from this would be In effect to allow
divorce on grounds not authorized
by law"
The court also clears the name OF
Major Eugene c. Gordon, Decatur,
Ala. OF questionable conducted He
was named correspondent by Tenney.

that they had $4,000 worth of
mems and boys clothing which
had been slightly damaged in a
railroad wreck, and which they
would sell at very low prices.
Their statements were SO
exaggerated that the Merchants
association arranged to have
several people visit the store,
buy goods and take note of the
claims made.
These purchasers were told
that they were buying $50
overcoats, suits, etc., at prices
as low as $500, $500, etc.
The matter was taken up with
the city attorney and warrants
were issued against the proprie-
tors of the store and they were
summoned to the police court.
The trial took place the next
day, and after the examination
of witnesses on both sides, the
Judge fined them $25 and costs.
After this the advertisements
that the firm ran in the daily
papers described the goods to be
sold at the ACTUAL PRICE,
and nothing was said about
quality or former value.
They also placed placards in
their windows asking the pub
lie to DISREGARD their previ-
Gus newspaper advertisements,
and instructed their clerks to
represent goods only as of val
ues of the price asked for them.
Stories have been printed be-
fore in this column about these
