COFFIN, Fditor and Manager. II COFFIN. Associate Editor* FLORENCE. S. C.. THURSDAY EVENING DEC. 5 1895. THE NEW CONSTITUTION. * The new Constitution is finished and is in many respects a good one. much better than the last, but some parts we would have had different, particularly that section relating to divorce in other states, and the more we think of that, the more complicated it becomes. Therj is one phase of that law that we should like to ask about of those who are well versed in the law. Suppose a couple are mar ried in another state, one of the parties being a divorcee, and move into South Carolina; after a while the party wh® has never been di vorced gets tired of the one he is living with? Can he not marry another, legally, under the present law, leaving the one married in another State? What could the law do? The first marriage would not be legal in South Carolina, the second would, while in any other state it would be the reverse, and he could be arrested for bigamy, and could not the first go into an other state and have the arrest made ou that charge anyway? It might make serious trouble in several ways, and we do not be lieve it will stand under the con- atitution of the United States. The law making sheriffs respon sible for the lives of their prison ers will probably do more to pre vent lynching than anything else oonld do, for they will not hesi tate, if necessary, to shoot into a mob, and very few of those who engage in such work would persist in the attempt under a determined fire, nor would they care to be rec- oguized in most cases. The raising the age of consent was another improvement, but in stead of fourteen years, it should have been eighteen, for what is a girl of fourteen but a child in knowledge of the world? The suffrage section is another that is not satisfactory to very many, though for different rea sons. Nothing is accomplished in the way of fair elections, in fact there is as much danger of fraud as before, for there is noth ing plainer than that the negro will be disfranchised whenever and to any extent that seems nec essary to insure elections going the right way, in the opinion of the managers. The new law will prove a dismal failure iu what it was intended to accomplish. An opportunity was given the law makers to secure w’hite supremacy in an honest way, but they failed to avail themselves of it, prefer- ing to degrade themselves by fraud rather than to drag down another portion of the community into the supposed “mine of politics.” j^TLANTIC COAST LINE. mmm, " & Augusta R.

The Sultan threatened to break off diplomatic relations in Con stantinople if a passage was forced by the war ships. It does not look as though the Sultau was iu a position to make threats at pres ent. Telegraphic reports say that the British Ambassador has given no tice that Great Britian will give the Sultan until Saturday to issue firmans that have been demanded, and if he does not comply, they will pass the straits with an extra gunboat without his permission. Russia is said to bo in accord with Great Britian, which takes the last prop from under the Sultan. Senator Pettigrew seems to be the subject of editorials in many of the papers, hereabouts, so we will hAVe to say something, also, to be in the fashion. It does not se®m to us that the Senator is ashamed of being a “Fortyite” in fact he has always said plainly that he was, but that was not a question at issue in the past cam paign, and those who voted did so with the idea of voting for the one whom they thought best fitted for the office; again Florence was en titled to the office and only obtain ed her rights when her candidate was elected. Farrell & Edwards, the popular photographers of Florence, are stiil at their elegant rooms over Bult- mau’s store, where they have the best light in this section of the State and the best instruments furnished by manufacturers. Give them a call and “secure the shadow ere the substance fades.” TRAIN8 IJOINU NORTH. No.54 No.53 A. M. P. M. •5 20 *4 25 Arrive Sumter 6 43 5 43 NO.50 A. M. P.
