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.”

A moonshiner in North Caro
lina is said to have been shipped
to Texas in a box, to avoid the de
tectives, who were on his track.
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.”
