CLAIMS HE IS BOND SERVANT. Young Husband of Spartanburg Girl Sues Out Habeas Corpus Writ Against Father-in-Law. News and Courier. Spartanburg. November 19.-Claim ing that lie is being held in bondage, Willie Tucker. a seventeen-year-old white boy, through his attorney, J. B. Atkinson. has brought habeas corpus proceediii.4 before Judge Klugh ask i:g that he be delivered from the con trol of Peter Lindsay, his father-in lan. The case is a most unusual one, the young man charging that he has been kept at work wn Lindsay's farm, near Campobello. and hired out to work on The farms ,f other men in the comma nity. andl that he has never received any compensation for his services. The affidavit of youig Tucker de scribes unheard of conditions in this county. He affirms that for the past nine months he has been living with Peter Lindsay. and while living with Lindsay he was persuaded to enter in to a marriage contract with Lindsay's daughter. Miss Mary Lindsay, but since his marriage lie and his wife have not been allowed to occupy a separate room from other members of the family. He further states that he has been required to work on his fath er-in-law's farm without pay, and that Peter Lindsay has frequently hired him out to work on other farms in the surrounding country.

WOULDN'T STUDY WITH NE GROES. Thirty-four Juniors at Michigan Col lege Strike. Grand Rapids, Mich., November 20.-Thirty-four members of the junior class in the Grand Rapids Vet erinary college walked out of a class room today when two negro students entered to resume their studies. Be cause of the objections of other stud ents the colored men had been denied admission when they returned to col Ige this year and the negroes appeal ed to the courts. Jtglge Perkin 's mandamus required the college man agement to admit the two colored students on the gronnd that the col lege being a quasi-public institution had no right to discriminate against citizens because of their color. After today's strike the school authorities suspended the entire junior class, in cluding the two colored students until next Wednesday. TRAIN KTT.TS LITTLE BOY. Greenwood Man Has Lost Tw o Sons -Within a Month. News and .Courier. Greenwood, November 20.--Little Samuel Campbell, the four-year-old son of Mr. J. S. Campbell, section master of the C. and W. C. railroad, was killed by the north-bound passen ger train on the road yesterday after noon, just in front of hi's parents' home. The body was taken to BeltonI today. The death is particularly sad;, -as Mr. Campbell had a son, a con a uctor, who was killed a month ago s ed erday at Piedmont. It is sup posed that the little boy ran out as the train went by, and das too close to the track, the steps of the engine striking him on the head. Death was instantaneous. The inquest will be completed M<nuday, when the engineer will be here tco testify. WIDOWS AND REMARRIAGE. Chances Not so Good, English Statis -tics Show, as a Few Years Ago. London Daily Mail. "Is the widow going out of favor in the marriage market?" I asked the registrar of a populous district of London. "Oh, decidedly,'' he replied. "You know that fewer people of every kind marry now than formerly. Thir ty years ago, out of every hundred marriageable people about six would marry in any year; now the number is less than five. But the widow 's chances have declined far more than the spinster's. "I can only explain the matter clearly in figures. Thirty years ago the widow was exertmely popular among men about to wed. She was always so since we first began to keep account of marriages, but from 1873 to 1877 she carried all before her. "You must remember that there are many more spinsters than widows in the country at all ages up to 40. and especially up to 30 or 35. "Now. the great ma'rrving ages for women are from 19 to 28 or .30. Yet zpeak of no fewer than ten out Of; eer\ 1llindred of the year s brides were widows. What is the number - now? Just six. The widow of 1906 i.s only half as popular as the widow of 1876. "But it nust not be supposed that the widow has dropped entirely out of 'fashion. Nothing of the kind. She is gradually losing her supreme position, but she still has a decided advantage over the woman who has never married-and this at all ages. "The young widow is preferred to the young maiden, and the middle aged and elderly widows have it all their own way. "I must give you figures again, for there is no other way of making 4 true comparison. "Up to the age of 20 there are practically no widows. Just a few. In every thousand girls aged from 15 to 20 there are 985 unmarried, and so all the brides of this age with the exception of two more spinsters. At 20 the widow begins to appear in force. From this age to 25 there is one widow in the population to each 363 unmarried women. She is lost among the crowd, one would think, and yet she goes off faster than the C sUinster. 1 "We are dealing with the year be fore last, the latest year about vhieh sey the registrar general gives his ae- Tat count. In this year no fewer thaii 12S.000 mailens in their twentieth to twenty-fifth year married. It is the greatest marr'ing age. "There were only 393 widow bridcs, but considering the small number 1f fen widows of this age in the country they were more favored by the bridegrooms than were the spinsters. If the spinsters were as popular as ,e the widows 6,000 more of them would ae have got married. IX "Curiously, while the bachelot of shows a preference for the young esta widow the widower apparently likes Wi] the spinster best," said my infor- con mant, who proceeded to supply fi gures which showed that from the % ed age of 25 to the age of 55 widows Ept continue to have better chances of marriage, although, as has been sol shown, these chances are lesseningO every year. Af 25, of e>urce, t1ie-: are still in a tair mmnorir :: ;! 'e fn ne .'. ulation one Of 1,000 women aged 25 to 35 years ls there are 340 spinsters and only sev- No. enteen widows; all the rest are mar ried. Now, in the year before last dre< there were 91,300 spinster brides of4 this age. 4,300 widow brides. I omit b the odd numbers. But if the men lik~ dric ed spinsters as well as widows these figures show they would have mar ried 98,200 of them. dr It is quite clear that, although the or] widow is fighting a. losing battle against the spinster, she is not yet Wa routed. But it is a curious fact that Sta while the bachelor always prefers the widow when he can get her, the wid- sl ower prefers the spinster, up to asa certain age.T ____ ___ ____ ___one a n JEWISH LONGEVITY. cret pay The Reasons for it, Hygienic a.nd Re' mer ligiOUS. . . . sab Diettie and Hygienic Gazette-.ai Superficial scrutiny of the vital pmi statistics yields the Jew a prominent ori position in the sanitary world, if per: longevity serves as any index of hyx gienie living. With the average length of life for all Christian peo- g ple placed at 36 years, 11 months, (1900,) the Jew may hope to reach 48 years. 9 months. Neufrille, (1855,) inquiring into ~ comparative duration of life and ers causes of death of Jews and Chris- api: tians in Frankfort, learned and one- a s fourth of the Jewish population was hot living beyond 71 years. while only san one-fourth of their neigh. ors was liv- by ing beyond the age of 59 years, 10 en months. Abott claims that they the "hey, i. e,, Jews) are much less fre quently the subjects of tubercular and acute epidemic diseases than any other race of mankind." Why should this seeming vital su periority exist ? According to Rich ardson, "the causes are simply sum med up in the term 'soberness of life.' The Jew drinks less than his S 'even Christian;' he takes as a rule not better food: he marries earlier; he fro rears the children he has brought in- Col to the world with greater personal No eare, he tends the aged more thought- for fully; he takes better care of his bia poor and he takes better care of him- 19C self.''
