The Marriage License Law Takes Effect on July 1st. After that Date Marriage is Illegal Without The Lcense. ^ On and altsr July 1st it will be nef pessary to secure a license from Judge * of Probate Drafts before you can be legally married. Judge Draftsh as , ^secured the necessary blauks, books of -J record, etc., and will be ready to issue J licenses on demand. He will issue these licenses during regular hours at \ the Court House. The cost will be $1, ^ twenty-five cents of which goes to the Judge of Probate and seventy-five cents into the county treasury. The Jaw seems to be defective in several points, one of the principal ones being a9 to whether or not it is necessary to require both the man and the woman to make affidavit that they ^are legally qualified to contract the 'marriage. Some of the probate judges ~ will require only the man to take the > oath. Judge Drafts states that he will require both the man and woman to atroear before him personally and "X"* ? make the cath that they are legally qualified. There is a fine and imprisonment, to the party performing a ceremony without the license. After the cere * mony the license must be properly filled in and returned to Judge of Probate Drafts, who will record it in a book provided for that purpose. There is no penalty for failure to return the license to the Judge of Probate wi'hin 11? L- ?Kv 1 nttt T\rhir>h i>? ^pne TtlLU'C? piC3L'HUCU UJ iun, .. ? fifteen days. This is another point on which the law is defective, it is said, r and there will likely be several amendments to the law at the next session of ^ the Legislature. It would be well for those who perform marriages to call cn Judge of w Probate Drafts and get full information concerning the law as it might save trouble in the future. "v , # t f % Carried to Penitentiary. Sheriff P. H. Corley returned Monday night from Abbeville, where he had gone on SuDday for J. 0. Briatow, . the Brookland white man, who wa9 r arrested in Abbeville on Sunday at the instigation of the officers from this county. On account of the feeling which is said to exist against the ac^ wad in Brookland, Sheriff Corley deemed it best to place Bristow in the penitentiary for safe-keeping. Bristow is charged with having committed crimiual assault upon his little ! r 11-year-olu niece while she was a yisitor in his home, the alleged crime being committed on or about the 14th day of June.. The little girl's parents Teside at Williamston, and Magistrate Henry E. Buff, of Brookland, has gone to Williamston to consult with the victim's relatives. The arrest of Bristow was brought about through the efforts of Sheriff Oorley and Deputy Sheriff Milter, both of whom went to work on the case as 1? soon as they had been notified of the ^ trouble. Neither of them, however, were apprised of what had happened . until after Bristow had held the town -authorities of Brookland off with a Winchester rifle, which he still had in v his possession at the time of his arrest. When Policeman IVIims, of Brookjg land, went to the home of Bristow and told him the purpose of his visit, Bris tow asked the officer to wait until he ?could get his coat and hat and he 'would accompany him. Instead, however, Bristow appeared on the scene with a Winchester and a pistol and -defied arrest. He left the house a few i minutes afterwards, it is said, followed by a posse, and at one time the mayor ofBrookland came upon the fleeing man in the middle of the road and asked him to give up. Bristow refused, telling the mayor that he would shoot the first man that approached. It i was not until after this had happened that the sheriff was called into action. When he arrived Bristow had made ? ?? * T\ his escape. Un inursaay juepuiy , Sheriff Miller jciae 1 Sheriff Corley at Brookland, and it wai *oon learned that Brislow had boarded a C., N. & * L. train in Coljmtia, and both officers Iwent in pursuit, goin * first to Spartanbur/, then to Greenville, Green! wood and Lauren?. At all of these poials tho officers were notified to be on the lookout and at 2:C0 Sunday morning the message came that Bris tow ! ad been captured at Abbeville. I Convict Kills Convict J. W.

Once when Henrik Ibsen was engaged In writing a play he by chance dropped a scrap of paper on which were the words, "the doctor says." Mrs. Ibsen determined to have a joke and one day casually remarked: "Who Is that doctor In your new play? I suppose he'll say some Interesting things?" Ibsen at first was silent with astonishment Then he broke out into a fit of rage, full of reproaches for ber spying. Tenuity, The convivial boarder as he sat down explained that If anybody present noticed an odor of cloves It was due to his having been trying to relieve a toothache. "Among the permissible synonyms for thin,'" observed the taciturn boarder, breaking the long silence that followed, "are 'gauzy,' 'diaphanous,' 'exiguous' and 'anguilliform.'
