The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, February 13.1907. 2STo Marriage License Law. Senator Carlisle called up his bill providing for a marriage license and registering law. Senator Hardin, who is one of the few bachelor members of the senate, made the motion to strike out the enacting words. Senator Carlisle made a strong argument for the bill. He ridiculed the ~idea, advanced by some opponents of the measure, that the enactment of a marriage license law would necessarily lead to the passing by the South Carolina legislature of a divorce law. He characterized the objection as an Uo rWJ t,haf, hft does not believe that a divorce law will over appear upon a statute book of tills state. He does not faver such a law himself and does not know of a tingle man, with the exception of one member of the senate, who does favor it. South Carolina is the only state in the union that does hot throw somesafeguards around the marriage ceremony; in fact, it is the only state or country in the civilized world which does not. Cities in this state, especially Spartanburg and some of the cities lying close to the North Caro"I lina line, are today the matrimonial dumping ground for our sister states. After considerable discussion, on the motion to strikeout the enacting words the vote was 14 to 14. There being a tie vote, the chair voted aye, and the bill was killed. There is more Catarrh in this section of ihe country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to " cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., is the - only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfol. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for'any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

Much time was spent in the senate Thursday debating Senator Efird's bill to relieve State Treasurers Bates, Timmerman and Jennings from financial responsibility on their bonds for the Zimmerman bond embezzlement, amounting to $12,500,-and accrued interest. The bill was finally snowed under by a vote of 27 to 11. This charge against the bonds of the treasurers grows out of the loss of valuable bonds, for which the responsibility has never been fixed. The matter is still in the courts. <> 11 Increase in Wages. The Southern railway has increased the wages ot the conductors, trainmen and yardmen, aggregating between $350,000 and $400,000 a year.
