DIVORCED PEOPLE
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
SHOULD NOT MARRY
According to Opinion Express by At
torney General Peeples-Union
County Man Questioney At
torney General.

Columbia, April 29.-"In my opin-
ION divorced people are not legally
capacitated to marry in South Caro-
lima and if a license were to be is
sued the marriage would be bigamous
and void" said Attorney General
Peoples in letter to Judge of Pro-
bate w. w. Johnson of Union coun-
ty. Mr.. johnson had written the at
torney general that these questions
sometimes came up for decision by
him through people applying for
marriage licenses. He wanted to
know if people who had been di-
vorced in other States applied for
marriage licenses in South Carolina
could they be granted.
The Union official also asked if a
couple were divorced in some other
State and one party was given the
right to remarry and the other not
If the latter could get license to
marry in South Carolina. To all of
these questions the attorney general
answers no. "South Carolina does
not allow divorces to be granted in
this State under the constitution
and it has been clearly decided in the
case of McCreery VS.. Davis, Al S. c..
1875, that this State will not recog-
nlZe divorces granted in other
States" says the attorney general.
The letter of the attorney general
to Judge of Probate Johnson of
Union says:
~ am in receipt of yours of the
18th inst. in which you ask for an
opinion as to whether marriage
license should be granted to one who
has been married and divorced in an
other State. and two other questions
as to the production of the certified
copy of the decree of divorce, which
will be answered by the opinion on
the first question asked
South Carolina does not allow
divorces to be granted in this State
under the constitution, and it has
been clearly decided in the case of
McCreery VS.. Davis, al S. C. 1876, that
this State will not recognize divorces
granted in other States. Before you
can issue marriage license the par
ties have to make an affidavit set
ting out among other things that
they are legally capacitated to
marry in South Carolina and if such
license were to be issued the mar
riage would be bigamous and void. u

NOW PAINT

Strike when the iron is hot and
paint when the property needs it.
They paint ships dozen times a
year; yes, some of them, every voy-
age. What for, do you think? To
look nice and get business.
A livery keeps its carriages painted
and vanished and washed, to look

let, "does it up" and Devoe is the

There's more in paint than to keep
out water. Paint for looks and you
needn't think about water. A fresh
coat of paint once year is about as
good forSnis credit as paying his
debts. But the man whose buildings
and fences look new, very likely, has
no debts.
