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.

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.

A Joke That Failed.
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.' Mrs.

In an incidental sort of way we remark
that the circulation of the Kicker
is now twice as large as the com- ^
bined circulation or every newspaper
on the face of the earth. We do hate
to lie about such things, but we are
determined not to let any New York
publisher crow over us.
A man by the name of Stebbins arrived
in town last Wednesday from
