. ARREST AND RELEASE.
Marriage Refused to Two Young: People.
About a week aeo two men and two women
registered at tbe Glenn Ethel as balling from
Elberton, Georgia. Tbey were In the busl
oes8 of enlarging pictures, and were doing a
good amount of work.
Ou Saturday night a warrant was served on
the men and.one ot the women, charging
them with abduction. One of tbe men pro'
po ed to marry tbe giri, but we are Informed
bat ministers of tbe crospel refused to per
form tbe ceremony. Tbe two men and tbe
woman charged with abduction were lodged
in Jail. Tbe young woman was carried home
by her brother. After his arrival in Elberton
be telegraphed back to release tbe prisoners,
and tbey are now free.
We bave been a?ked to withhold tbe namei
rxt iho noriici to thin offalr and bo we merelv
mention the Incident without giving names
The one thing that adds Interest to the whole
-iffalr Is the probable absence of any wrong
doing, and their connection, or relation, with
some most excellent people, who are well
Known.
As to the prorlety of refusing marriage tc
anybody. It Is believed that reoognized
authority has declared that marriage Is hOQ'
orab'e In all men.
As far as we know there whb no special
reason to urge marriage In this Instance, bul
we do believe that In other Instances the
ceremony should be performed, no mattei
what the facts may be. From our standpoint
h grave responsibility Is assumed when mar
rlage Is denied to anybody. It may bo, In
<ome Instances, the only door of hope to her
who may suffer unwppafcable torture, because
?he is so deprived of the right to take the
vows of holy wedlock.
It seeo.s to us that all the license laws on
?ny Statutes are against the woman, and ll
seems hard that In South Carolina she may
ie denied the right of marriage ir she is pooi
or friendless. The rich and powerful are
lever deuled this right.
EDUCATION AT'DUE WEST.
Mr. Irwin B. Linton Talks of luMtilnlion*
I/ot'h(c?l There.
Washington Post.
Mr. Irwin B. Linton, who was a com rats
*ioner to tbe recent general assembly of the
Presbvterlan Cburch at Lob Angelrs, Cal.. If
back In the city. He was accompanied on bit
trip to California by Mrs. Linton. Tbey re
turned by way of Due West, S. C., and were
present at the graduation of their son id Ersnine
College. They speut a week at Due
West, taking in tbe whole of the commence
ment season at that place.
'Commencement week at Due West," say*
Mr. Lluton, "has Its culmination In tbe fe>
male college. On tbe girls' day the com'
mencement ball, which seats 2.000 people. If
tilled with visitor*), and the scene Is Inspiring

themselves on the spacious rostrum, forming
pictures of loveliness, until the time, tbe muilc
and song and speech and essay over, a
grand old aothem is given, In wbicb the
whole audience Join as by common consent.
"Due West for fifty years has been an educational
center. It is a obarmlng country
village three miles from a railroad. Every
visitor Is won by tbe grace and simplicity 01
tbe people in meir nome inn. ice (inn luck
are taught to honor borne and borne Ufa. In
deed, tbe president of tbe female college, Id
bis address to tbe graduating clans, seemed
but to be giving voice to tbe work of bis Institution
when be said: 'The home Is tbe bear)
of tbe world. From It radiates the light, tbe
Joy, tbe hope ot tbe world. And what makes
home? Wile and mother. Those sweet
words embody nine-tenths of the happiness
of the world. Woman rules not by reason ol
her sex. In non-Cbristian lands she In a
slave. It Is Christian culture (bat makes woman
a queen. The crown of woman Is character.
There is no finer product beneath the
sun than aoultured Christian woman.' "

Zinc to paint a house than" It does of mlxei
paints ; but you want to know wby.
For the same reason that it takes less gooc
cow's milk to feed a baby than It does o
skimmed milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to eighty pel
cent, adulteration?Inconceivable, but true
Water isn't paiut, Barytes isn't paint
Whiting Isn't point. Benzine isn't paint
] Petroleum isn't paint. l''lsh-oll isn't paint
i None of these are a right part of a good paint
None of these do tbe work that belongs t<

I All thev do Is to All the can.
| Devoe Lead and Zinc is one-hundred pei
cent, paint. The adulterated mixed palnti
are oniv twenty to eighty-live per cent, paint
i Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen t<
eighty per cent cheaper than Devoe Lead am
Zinc? lio; the worst of them oughtn't to hi
anything. They waste your money ; yot
'not only must buy more gallons, hut >01

The Law Department of the
South Carolina College.
In addition to the regular lectures by ,
the professors of law of the South Car- ,
olina College, the trustees and faculty
are pleased to be able to announce for
the coming session a very attractive
J, series of lectures to be contributed by
some of the leading members of the
k Bench and Bar of South Carolina.
Among those who have consented to
deliver one or more lectures to the law
; classes of the College are: Hon. Charles
H. Simonton, U. S. Circuit Judge; Hon.
. William H. Brawley, U. S. District
> Judge; Hon. Y. J. Pope, Chief Justice
1 of South Carolina; Hon. C. A. Woods,
1 Associate Justice; Hon. Eugenei B.
Gary, Associate Justice; Hon. Edward
' McCrady, Hon. J. C. Sheppard, Hon.
i G. Duncan Bellinger, Hon. S. J. Simpson,
Hon. J. P. Carey, and Hon. Andrew
Crawford.
! The trustees and faculty feel that in
erw'ii vine' thp assistance of these diS
[ tinguished judges and lawyers they
have accomplished something that will
' prove of the greatest benefit-to those
[ taking the law course in the South
Carolina College. The number of those
eurolled in the law department during '
, the last two years has been the largest
' in the history of the college, and the
hope is entertained that the prospect
' of these additional lectures may still
[ further increase the growing number 1
of law students.
> The great value of the training af>
forded by schools of law has been too
thoroughly demonstrated to render
! necessary any arguments in their sup- |
' port. The day of preparation for the <
bar by solitary study in a lawyer's 1
office has practically passed. Everyone (
familiar with the working of a law J
school must have been impressed with
the increased interest and zeal that re- |
suit from the mere association of young i
men who have come together for the
common purpose of studying law. The 1
daily discussions of questions of law, j
not only with the professors, but also |
Willi cavil uiuci, c ati cmuuoiuoui I
for the law which possibly, in some in- 1
stances, could never have been acquired
otherwise.
i The advantage of attending a profes
sionai school In the State in which a .
1 man is to practice his profession Is in .
no case more obvious than in that of a
lawyer. Besides the familiarity gained 1
with the decisions and statute law of ,
the State, the friendships that he forms
at such a school <add yery materially to <
his future usefulness as a citlz%p. The .
career of lawyers as a class is more apt
to be of a public nature* than that of '
those engaged in any other profession
or business. Not only are all of the |
judges of the State drawn from the bar, i
but the occupants of the legislative and \
executive offices are also drawn very
i largely from the same source. As so
i many of the members of the legal profession
are naturally destined to public |
careers, it is of no little Importance
that the young men who have decided <
r to become lawyers should come into '
i close touch with other young men of
their own State who have chosen the ,
same life-work.
The most lasting friendships are not 1
[ infrequently formed during the part of
a rrwn's llfp thnt is iisimllv rtevnfpil tr? 1
i preparation for the bar; and It Ls un- J
i fortunate if this period should be spent ,
' in a State other than that in which he i
is to live. Several years spent at a profession
school in another State some- '
. times find the student so completely out '
i of touch with the young men of his J
own State that when he returns to |
practice his profession he finds himself i
laboring under a serious disadvantage,
which In some' instances Is never over- 1
coine.
A law school, however, should be '
patronized not alone by those intending \
to practice law. There is hardly a calling
in life for which one would not be i
better prepared by having taken a
course in law. Almost everyone who j
\ has made an earnest study of the law
will agree with Burke that it is a <
"science which does more to quicken
and invigorate the understanding than
all other kinds of human learning put 1
together." The hope is indulged, there- !
fore, that the attendance upon the law school
of the South Carolina College
may include some who have not determined
to make law their profession.
Columbia as the capital of the State
presents many advantages for the law j
student. #The sessions of ti?e Supreme
Court of the State, of the State Circuit
Courts, and of the Federal Court*, give
him frequent opportunity to hear arguments
by the leading lawyers of the
State, and to witness the practical ad- J
ministration of the principles of the
law. In prosecuting his studies he wiU
