The Marriage License.

MT. EultOr.
The matter about which I am writ
ing may appear to some people OF lit
tie or no Importance. To ME the mar
riage license of South Carolina is a
little confusing. The writer has per-
formed quite d number OF marriage
ceremonies since coming to this State,
d tl..s inll ortant docGment is very
different from the marriage license
OF North Carolina. For instance the
license in this State requires the
signatures of the contracting par
ties.' In North Carolina the con
tracing parties do not sign the Ii
cense at all, but the law requires
the signatures OF at least two wit
nesses both of whom witnessed the
marriage ceremony performed.
Now, my query is-should not these
contracting parties" sign this license
before the ceremony and not after it?
I think the prevailing custom is they
sign after the ceremony has been per-
formed. The maiden name of the
bride eject is used in the body OF the
license il every blank where her
name must occur. This document au-
+ y =. the minister to perform the
ceremony; the ceremony is perform
ed; they have joined hands, answered
the usual questions with the Il Will, p"
the officiating minister prorounces
them husband and wife; then she
s.sns nsr maiden name to the license.
This to nv mind is an error, not tnat
she should not sign the license ou-
that she do this while she is Miss
So and So and not after she has be-
come Mrs. So and So. The license
is the legal document which author
ICES the performance OF the cere-
mony: the ceremony is the ritual
istic or ecclesiastical phase OF the
whole transaction and changes hef
name to the name of her husband,
therefore, l think it is an error Tor
her to write her maiden name to any
thing after she is married. But some
one says: why sickle for such IN
significant technicalities; they are
married and who cares when they
sjgoc. ..r.- names to the license?
be true but that does not
correct the error-if an error there
o.. May be the editor can explain
this So will leave it to him.
Respectfully,
T. C. Croker.

KODIAK CARVINGS MAY
 BE RELICS OF STONE AGE.

Discoveries of carvings on the rocks at the southwestern end cf Ko- diak island seem to connect the his tory of that place with the stone age, according to H. H. Waller, United States land surveyors, who spent the summer to the westward. The cary ings are in granite so hard that 1t could not be cut by a cold chiscl, and the natives of that place say that they have been on the rocks longer than any tradition of the Indians Of the westward.
 The carvings are of faces Of people and beasts and hieroglyphiCs that no one who has seen them can interpret. The Indians frankly admit that none of them know what they have refer ence to.
 Many of the carvings, with accurate descriptions. have been sent to the Smithsonian Institution at Washing ton and it is expected that a bulletin will be issued on them one of these days.
 Mir. Waller says that some of the figures and symbols are repeated over and over.
 The only explanations that have been offered by those who have seen the carvings is that they must date from the stone age, Mir. Waller says that there are great quantities of 1 them.
