ed by Thomas F. McDow, Esq., o: Yorkville, and Mr. Ben Townsend, 01 Union. Through their counsel, the defendants sought to quash the proceedings on the ground that constables were prohibited by statute from swearing out warrants. Such a statute was cited. Magistrate Sandifer, however held that the statute had been enacted in the days when constables to tria justices were paid by fees, and that il did not apply to dispensary constables. Counsel sought to press the point, and the magistrate suggested that they might have an exception noted, and that if he were in error the error could be corrected in the court above. Next, there was a suggestior of a motion for a change of venue, which Magistrate Sandifer said he would allow upon proper affidavits; bul the issue was not pressed. Cardoza'J wife was admitted to bail; but frorr all that is now Known, uarauza., Himself, will remain in jail until the circuit court convenes. ? At the request of Superintendent Jones, of the Yorkville Graded school Dr. James P. Kincaid, of Winthrop college, has consented to come over tc Yorkville and deliver, in the court house, next Saturday night, his illustrated lecture on a recent trip in Europe. Dr. Kincaid did Europe a year or two ago. accompanied by his wife, and in addition to close and careful personal observation of the manners and customs of the different peoples he saw, as compared with the people ol this country, took numerous photographic views of cities, monuments, buildings and natural scenery. -Upon his return he prepared an interesting lecture, wh*ch, with the help of a stereoptican, he embelishes with the photographic views referred to. The lecture has been given in several towns in this state, and thousands have been delighted and interested by it. It is noi the present intention of the management to charge admission next Saturday. The public will be invited; but inasmuch as it will devolve upon Superintendent Jones to provide for the expenses of Dr. Kincaid and of Dr. Abbe, who will assist him, and inasmuch as the graded school has several important uses to which it can apply surplus funds, it is likely that a collection will be taken up during the progress of the lecture. It should be understood, however, that Dr. Kincaid is not making any charge for his part?not even asking for his expenses. So far as he is concerned the lecture will be purely complimentary to the people who desire to hear It. YORKVILLK'S SCHOOL LAW. Following is the bill that was introduced by Senator Brice last week, with reference to the Yorkville Graded school district. The bill is intended to make the limits of the school district correspond with the corporate limits, provide for the filling of such vacancies as may occur in the board of trustees, and also for the issuance of bonds for school purposes: Section 1. That section three of an act entitled "An Act to create the school district of Yorkville, in York county, and to enable it to organize a system of free schools, to levy a tax in support of the same, and to purchase and hoid property," approved December 22d, 1S88, and the same section as amended by an act approved March 2d, 1897. be stricken out. and in lieu thereof the following be inserted, to be designated as section 3, to wit: "Sec. 3.

Sec. 3. That section 7 of the said act (approved December 22d. 1SSS? be stricken out. and in lieu thereof the following inserted, to be designated as section 7, to wit: "Section 7. In the event the board of trustees herein provided for shall deem it necessary to erect school buildings for the use of the schools therein, or to purchase property for a like purpose, it shall be lawful for them to submit to the qualified voters resident in said school district, at an election to be he'd for that purpose, the question of authorizing the issue of bonds in a definite amount, not to exceed $15,000, the bonds to bear G per cent, interest and to be payable in 20 years: Provided.

Senator Rrice has introduced a bill 3 to abolish the office of township com" missioner in this county. Th<j office J was originally created through an over! sight. No powers or duties were as1 signed, although it was provided that t the commissioners should be paid if > they attended four meetings of the I county board a year. The object of I Mr. Brice's bill is to correct a blunder. Diphtheria i Diphtheria developed in the family of a Negro woman named Smith, who lives on the lands of Mr. G. E. Thomas, i two miles north of Yorkville, last Sat' urday. Dr. Miles Walker was called on Sunday morning. He found one child at the point of death and another in a . bad way. Upon his return in the af" ternoon the first child was dead. He ? administered anti-toxine to the other. The mother of the children is in very ' poor circumstances?almost poverty . stricken?but is receiving some aid ' from her colored neighbors and from j the white families in the vicinity. ! Smallpox In Ruck Hill. o ? TT ill c-nnnUl nf Qot-iir. i Oil J 3 <X 1WC1V ilia opvviai vi MMbw* ! day to the Charlotte Observer: Mr. Albert Harrison has a case of smallpox. , Dr. W. W. Fennell made a careful diagt nosis Thursday, and, after conferring ; with Dr. J. E. Massey Friday morning, pronounced the case smallpox. Mr. Harrison visited several towns in South Carolina during the Christmas holidays i and it is supposed that the disease was , contracted in this way. He is now at i his mother's house, on the outskirts of the city, and there is but little uneasiness felt as to the ability of the city authorities to prevent the disease spreading. Rock Hill has a pest house i which is situated some distance from town, in what is known as the blackjacks, but owing to existing circumstances, it is probable that Mr. Harrison will not be taken from his room. The house has. of course, been quarantined. Mr. Harrison is a middle-aged man and has been engaged in the grocery business in this place for several months. Snmlipnx h( l.nckhnrf. Professor R. J. Herndon was up from Lockhart on Monday, and the reporter took occasion to ask him about the smallpox situation there. "There was only one case," said Mr. Herndon, "that of Mrs. Scoggins, and she is entirely out of danger, so the doctors say. There is little or no excitement about the town. The people have become so accustomed to smallpox reports that they are no longer disposed to be alarmed about them. Then, President Carey has treated the situation with his usual broad common sense methods. He did not undertake to enforce compulsory vaccination. Instead of that he had as many vaccine points as would probably be required, ordered at the expense of the company, and gave the entire population to understand that everybody who desired, could be vaccinated free of charge, the physicians doing their work gratis. He went further and submitted to vaccination himself among the first. Those who prefer to run the risk of having smallpox are left to do as they like. Some are being vaccinated and some are not." THE MARRIAGE RELATION. Yorkville Minister Writes Strongly In Favor of Legal Restrictions. Editor Yorkville Enquirer. I have read with approval that a member of the legislature from this county has introduced a bill in the house requiring a license for marriage. Such a law is very much needed. With all her boastfulness of the sanctity of marriages, and that she does not admit of divorce, South Carolina must face the fact that the marriage relation is entered into heedlessly and broken with but little thought. The loosest notions are beginning to prevail amongst certain classes of our white population concerning the marriage bond. Now marriage is, in part, a civil contract, and the state owes it to herself to make the relation sacred and to surround it with all the safeguards possible. We are behind other states in this respect. We pride ourselves that we are more righteous even than the Scriptures, and allow no divorce for any cause whatsoever, and our people, deluded with a vain conceit, cry "hands off," when any legislation is proposed about marriage. Hut I do not propose to discuss the propriety of a divorce law; will just say that while we have no divorces legally, we have separations, enough of them. We have people coming into the state to get married, and leaving it to get unmarried. .But as to tne marriage license uui; we need it very much. Let me illustrate. A Saturday evening not long ago. there came to my house a young man?let us call nim a boy?about 18 or 19 years of age, and, after giving his name in an embarrassed manner asked me if I could marry him. I asked the name of the young lady and her age. She was 17, he said. Are the old folks willing? He replied that he did not think the old lady was. I told him that I would not marry runaway couples under age?that if he would go and get the written consent of parents and bring some witnesses to the fact, I would then solemnize the ceremonv and I proceeded to deliver a lecture upon the seriousness of the step he was about to take, and told him what a wrong it was; what an ungrateful thing, etc., for a girl?a mere child?to run away from her home and marry against her mother's wishes. I thought perhaps I was wasting words; but being full of the matter, I delivered mvself, and the fellow didn't marry?not that night anyway. He agreed, before he left, to look at the question from my standpoint. Now, what recourse had these parents? That's the point I make; what protection was given them? How could they prevent that child of theirs, whom i they had a right to control, from an unhappy and miserable union, as they thought? They have none in this state. Tne first notary the children can find will marry them; or if that be not true, they won't have to go far to find a I minister that will do it. There are many cases worse than this, where the children are younger. We ought to ' have a law requiring the woman to be 1 18 or 19 years of age, or, if less, to have ' the consent of the parents; ana me man to be 21. There ought to be a s small fee and a record of the marriage, ; in proper form, kept by some officer. The parents ought to have the protection of licenses. The minister of the > gospel who has a conscience in such matters, ought to require this license to be presented before he will have anyt thing to do with performing the cerei mony, and so should every officer appointed by law to officiate in such ' cases. There are other considerations, besides this of the rights of parents. , One is that these marriages so lightly I contracted, are just as easily dissolved. ' We know it to be a fact that in some I instances?in many?these children live together only for a few months. What is to become of the children ? born from such unions? What sort of ? a generation, both physical and mental, do we hope to get from persons immature in stature and in mind? But on this pan of the subject, T forbear. I hope something will be done. A mart riage license law won't cure all the . evils we see resulting from people being misniated. but it will help to arrest the trouble among the children. r But South Carolina is unique?she 5 likes to be, you know. She has an odd . dispensary law?nothing like it elsewhere. She has no divorce law, and i no marriage law. But singularity does s not constitute perfection. * Yorkvi'le, S. C., January 21. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Synopsis of tfe Daily Proceedings of the House and Senate. Condensed from Daily papers. Both the house and senate did a great deal of work last Thursday; but because there was not much to do, Friday was a kind of an offday, and Saturday, the birthday of General Lee, no ! work was done by either house. It develops that the senatorial elec- 1 tion last Tuesday was too previous by 1 just one week, and it became necessa- i ry to go through the form of re-electing Senator Tillman again on yester- I day. 1 IN THE HOUSE. ] The fellow servants liability bill < came up in the house Monday night. 1 This is a bill to make manufactur- 1 ing corporations responsible for acci- 1 dents to, or injuries sustained by one < employe on account of the negligence < or incompetency of another employe. 1 The bill has been before the legisla- s ture for about four years and a hot ] fight is promised on it. The cotton fac- < tories are opposed to it, and the opera- i tives as a rule, desire it. In the pre- i liminary skirmish Monday night the i votes of Messrs. deLoach and Haile in- i dicatcd that they are in favor of the < bill. The votes of Messrs. Beamguard ' and Elder are not recorded. IN THE SENATE. ? The senate was also in session Mon- i day night; but the business transacted was only of routine importance. 1 AT THE C'HURCHKS. * |, i TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL.

THE Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, states in its policy contracts ihat losses will be paid on acceptance of proof of death. It lives up to its agreements in this respect as well as in ALL others, and this is why it is recognized by the insuring public as the BEST life insurance company in the world. Read what the Anderson Daily Mail, of January 11, says in regard to the payment of the claim of F. P. Tatum, of Marlboro county, S. C.: "On January 3, 1901, M. M. Mattison, of this city, state agent of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., sent to his company proofs of the death of Franklin P. Tatum, of Marlboro county, who was insured in the Mutual Benefit for $15,000. On January 10 Mr. Mattison received a check for the amount of insurance, just one week after the papers were sent in. It was a prompt settlement of a large loss." If you are Interested in life insurance it is to your interest to consult me. SAM. M. GRIST, Special Agent.
