The Marriage License. Mr. Editor: ! The matter about which I* am writ- j iDg may appear to some people of lit-: j tie or 110 importance. To me the mar-11 i . _ /* n it. _ ! * nage lie; i:se 01 aouin Carolina is a. i little confusing. The writer has per-'J formed quite a number oi marriage j t ceremonies since coming to this State, j ] a <1 u.is inii-ortam document is very j ^ different from the marriage license! " of North Carolina. For instance the 1 license in this State requires the signatures of the "contracting par- t ties." In North Carolina the "con Li acting parties" do not sign, the li cense at all, but the law requires f the signatures of at least two wit nesses both of whom witnessed the ] marriage ceremony performed. , Now, my query is?should not these "contracting parties" sign this license before the ceremony and not after it? I think the prevailing custom is they 5 sign after the ceremony has been per- i tormed. The maiden name of the bride-elect is used in the body of the j . license in every blank where heri J name must occur. This document au r > 7 . the minister to perform the < ceremony; the ceremony is perform- t hovfl -ininpri hnnrls. answered cu J tUT'J 11U>( V jv/*<kvu ?M. ? the usual questions with the "I will," the officiating minister, pronounces them husband and wife; then she ner maiden name to the license. This to my mind is an error, not that she should not sign the license but j ;hat she do this while she is Miss I So and So and not after she has be come Mrs. So and So. The license s the legal document which author izes the performance of the cere mony; the ceremony is the ritual istic or ecclesiastical phase of the vhole transaction and changes her lame to the n.'.me of her husband, herefore, I think it is an error for ipr tn write her maidi.n name to any ning after she is married. But some )ne says: "Why stickle for such in significant technicalities; they art xiarried and who cares when they >ig.:ie. ...c.r names to the license?" be true but that doe^ not :orrect the error?if an error there Mdy be the editor can explain his. So I will leave it to him. Respectfully, j T. C. Croker. i is tho Real Rogue? Columbia Record. , i Manning Times tells of the terrible ^ :rime committed by a little negro )oy. He ran his hand through thtf ^ vindow and stole some money from lie postoffice. That was stealing, j, fes, sirree. And the postmaster had ti .he police to arrest him and they put! , :im in jail. ?A? government inspector jt; rot him and put him in jail some; nore. Thp narrative concludes: "Thejd imount taken was about 53 cents.' j In the early summer at Honea j ?ath a farmer got hold of a bottle of! - - * u_.v:?i.w >. wvjl something laoenea --wiua&cj. ook one drink and the next thing he j 1 mew he was picked up off the floor 1 rne post.office. The last thing he' emembered was that he was looking ; or a place to lie down. Probably j ~ ' ared up against the door of the post-1 )ffice and?fell in. Yet he was triea n the United States court for break up: in. Tried and, we believe, con 'ioted. It is a fine thing for the United. States court to bear a name of ap- j >lying justice inexorably. This will < eter many crooks from running acros3 0 " ' x *' lie dead line. Vet tne i\nu ibove cited seem pitii'u! when we cou ider tho real plundering that is go ng on in the very face of fede ral i Titit r?:st laws?and no offender Js liade to walk the plank. The cry of the people is eaiirlng n volume. Their resentm >nt against ligh prices without adequate and ,'ommensurate wage increases will nake itself felt by the tim.? mdgross ; issembles. The law pounces down upon a lot j )f darkies in a game of crays and - - ets men of respectability laugii at i he lu\Vs against election bets. The ; ^ aw is intolerant of a negro boy's of- f ense. stealing 53 cents, but l?fs tiiej nanipulators of prices of provisions j ake millions to which they are not;<. entitled.
