JIN NATURALLY POLYtJAM-1 18T? <uc ITnL'ti With Sociological l*rofeasor's Marriage Views. And now comes another of those! ofes$..rs of sociology who anunce that there is nothing dine about matrimony, that it is 011n contrivance, an economical de:e of man to compel each husband support his own childreu, says exchange. He seems to considlliat man by nature is polygains and a great deal worse than it, and that society frowns upon iseness of relation only because its lack of economy. It would be interesting to know w these wise fellows learn so ich. J list as far back as history es marriage was a ceremony with Cftlitrinna QottoHnn /if anrno Bfirt is true that there have been ilizations where polygamy has evailed. but these are not so my as were monogamy is the le. These same fellows tell us that 3 evolution of man from the aniil life is undeniable, but it is ange that practically all animals the higher order are munagama says the Philadelphia Inquirer, hen did the animal man stop bear monogamus and begin living insert minately and suddenly erect tS^marriage ceremony for his pro-ctlon. He never did anything of i? sort so far as we know. We know that there is a family ife among animals, that the tigress ?, the best sort of a mother and hat the tiger stands on guard. If ve ever come from animals we ceratnly fetched some of their good raits with us, and the home-andfainily life is one of these. In a state of nature, of crudest barbarism and simple civilization the family ilfe is always predominant. It is only when you get into the feted life of superheated civilization that you find the family ignored and marriage either made a mock>r> by means of divorce or all moral laws ignored absolutely. IHllon at. Coker College. The Dillon County Club of Coker College met on Saturday evening, March 25, in North Dormitory parlor with MisseB Ruth Jackson and Elisabeth Caddy. The followUg members were present: Misses Florence Allon, Edith Allen, RebecS Ayers, Mattie Baker, Kathleen Nottingham, Elizabeth Gaddy, Ruth Hayes, Ruth Juckson, Pattie Sherwood and Maude Stephens. After the business was dispensed with a program consisting of Miss Hayes, reading; Miss Maude Stephens, recitation. was rendered. An impromptu debate on, resolved: "American Fashions are more practicable than French Fashions" received enthusiastic discussion, after which the victory was given to the affirmative side. It was a pleasure to the club to have a visitor. Miss Mary Ross, made quite an interesting little talk. Delightful ice-cream and cake were served by the two hostesses. The lateness of the hour caused the members of the club to disperse to their various rooms, pleasantly looking forward to having another good meeting two weeks hence. Secretary. * 0 <'OFFYN IX UAUK FLIKS TO AIKKN. / Wri|(lil .Aviator ami His Wife l>ofy Wnid. Augusta, Ga., March 30.?In a high wind, the violence of which is attested by uprooted trees and property damage throughout this section, Frank Coffin of the Wright ; aviation staff, accompannied by his I young wife, made a fllight from ' Augusta to Aiken this morning to keep a breakfast appointment with friends. The Wright biplane being used in the local training school which is a duplicate of the one in the service of the United States army on the Mexican border, was the vehicle. No woman in America, under weather conditions of any sort, has ever made a flight of this length, the air line distance being 28 miles and the time of the flight 441 minutes. As the machine left the ground at the aviation field here it was caught by a sudden gust of wind and careened dangerously. The rise was made merelv to feel out the wind, the aviator believing his wife would be quite willing to land after once circling the field. "Shall we go on?" asked Coffyn. "Yea,"responded thelittle woman at his side, as she took a firmer hold and settled herself to brave the elements. . 8. It was found impossible to take % straight course because of the direction from which the wind came. Several times on the trip it seemed as if landing must he made but each time no available spot was in sight. , The trip this mornipg will attract world-wide attention, as it is certain that it is the longest flight ever attempted with a lady as a passenger. The trip, as well as being dangerous proved to be exciting and amusing, as the aviator flew at an altitude of only about 450 feet, and In passing several teams the horses and mules became frightened; and ran away, but there was no damage done. Mrs. Coffyn expresses it as very amuBlng to see the way some of the negroes acted when they were passing over, some fulling over on the ground, others running into tahe houses, returning immediately with the whole fam ily. In other places the entire force of hands would drop their work,; staring and waving until the ma- , chine was out of sight. She states! niui sne was compelled u> Keep up almost a continual waving from the I time she left Augusta until she ar1 rived here. O Skating Hink. The Star Skating Rink will open its doors to the white people of Mulllns and the surrounding country on Monday night, April 10th. The floor is in good condition and the skates are in good repair. Go out and enjoy the fun. A hig crowd is expected and you are invited to be one of the lumber. GOV. BLKAHK'H I'KIVATK COINHKIi. Ben Abney Itesiding With HU Kinsman Installed in the Kvcnitlve Mansion. Columbia, .March :?0.?Just who is to be regarded as private counsel to Gov. Blease, the Governor has not seen fit to say publicly so far, but a circumstance may be significant in this connection and the fact of which Go. Blease has himself confirmed, is that Mr. B. L. Abney, of Columbia bar, has lately taken up his residence at the executive mansion. Mr. Abney, by many considered one of the most astute lawyers of South Carolina, is the Governor's near kinsman, their middle names are the same, Livingston. They Lave been much together since the Governor's inauguration. nr. ftuuey was one or tne leading counsel for the Southern railway In 'the celebrated merger case and his fee as counsel for the State in the dispensary courts was $ 10,000. The lengthy special message on the status of trustees which was sent to the General Assembly by Gov. Blease arriving at a crisis in the debate over the railroad mileage matter, was openly ascribed in the press to Mr. Abney and no denial has ever been made that the message was of his authorship. NKW COMMISSION IX CHARGE. Ex-Clutirmnn \V. .1. Murray Hands Over Funds ami Authority to New Chairman, James Stackltouse . Columbia, March 28.?Dr. W. J. Murray, whilom chairman State dispensary commission to-day handed over to his successor, .lames Stackhouse, of Mullins, the cash balance Of $28,921 .F>!? now on deposit in the National Loan and Exchange Bank of Columbia, and also surrendered all records and other property remaining in his custody. This was the only business transheld in Attorney General Lyon's acted at the meeting, which was office. Members of the new commission. who left this afternoon Tor their homes say that no details whatever have been tackled yet nor has the board's policy been definitely outlined. Practically nothing has been done beyond receipting for property and electing James Stcakhouse, chairman, and Frank Kellv, secretary. The board meets shoitly, perhaps early in April, at | tn? cull of Chairman Stackliouse. Attorney General Lyon has attended the only two meetings yet held by written invitation of the commission. SKKKS l'AKDON FOK W. T. JOXES Union County Man Convicted of Murdering Wife. Columbia, March 30.?Special: A petition for the pardon of W. T. Jones, the Union county man convicted of wief murder, was to-day presented to Governor Blease by former Senator Ben Townsend, of Union, who was in the case. All the pupers have not yet been filed, for the pardon of W. H. Miles, the Cherokee man who is serving a life sentence for the killing of Frank Deal. The papers in this case are in the same shape, that is to say, the full petiiton is not yet before the governor. W. T. Jones' case is yet before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Couit has not yet handed down a decision on the appeal from a Cirj cuit Judge's refusal to grant ai new j trial on after-discovered evidence. Presiding Judge Sustained. 1 W. T. Jones wais tried aind convicted at the February term of Court in Union, in 1909. Judge Memminger presided at the trial and in the case he cited the famous Hoyt Hayes trial. Hoyt Hayes was charged with caiusing his own wife to commit suicide and the case was somewhat similar to the Jones case. Governor Heywood pardoned Hoyt Hayes on a handwriting ex i?c t. a reDiuuuiiy max. a leiier was in Mrs. Hayes' handwriting, saving that she was going to commit suicide. Because he cited this case, Judge Memminger was severely taken to task by the counsel in arguing the case before the Supreme Court. In the decision handed down March 3, 1910, the Circuit juoge was upheld by the Supreme Court Third Appeal. The petition for a rehearing was dismissed, then a motion for a new trial was sought and upon the append from such a motion being refusedthe case now is before the Supreme Court. A final (licision had been expected for some time. Jones has been in the Union county jail since his case was in the Courts. The charge against him vas that he abused his wife so that she took poison and that he was responsible for her death. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. No case in recent years has attracted the attention that the VV. T. Jones case has. 0 GOING STRAIGHT TO V. S. 8KNATK. Sooner or hater (l?v. HI ease K.xpecte to Get There. Columbia, March 29.?Special: Governor Blease will be a candidate for the United States Senate. He said to-day that he is "going as straight to the United States Senate as a martin to its gourd." Senator Tillman said the other day that he will run again if his health permits, but it is doubted by many if he will again be in the race. Governor Blease said recently thnt he could beat any man except Tillman for the Senate. In the event senator Tillman is not a candidate in 1913, Governor Bleafle will be in the race. Otherwise lie will be a candidate for the Senatorahip later later on. That is the way the situation appears today Governor Blease has received encouraging letterds, he states, from all parts of South Carolina. He is , told in these letters thai* he is | stronger now politically than ever i before. One man wrote to-day: I "Go ahead and give 'em h? .|t ('Rl'SHKn I'N'DKK CAR WHEELS.

Mr. Blocker was a passenger on the train by which he was killed, having stepped off the platform of the day ! couch after being t repeatedly told by the train porter, so it is said, uot to do so until the train stopped.

Felix | Fliust, a chauffeur of New York, was killed. Misses Doris McDonald and Gertrude Pfeffer. of Boston fatally injured and Miss Emma Lucid, of Boston, hurt internally, in an automobile "joy ride" accident on the Port Orange road near here early to-day. The car was the property of K. ! A. Warner, of New York, who left i for his home last Friday, after ! spending the winter season here, i He left instructions with Faust, his ; chauffeur, to ship the car to New i York to-day. Last night Faust inI vited a party of his friends to | take a farewell "jov ride, " and j they were on their way home when |the accident occurred . I While the car was proceeding at i a high rate of speed, it is said, it became unmnnagable and left the road, plowing through the ditch and grazing a tree. The tree tore away the steering post, broke Faust's neck and crushed his skull. The car continued for a hundred feet and collided with another tree, throwing the occupants in every direction. Miss McDonald suffered a broken jaw, broken shoulder and concussions of the brain and is said to be dying. Miss Pfeffer's injuries are expected to prove fatal. William Thompson, of New York, and j Clyde Spring, of Daytona, who were ! also in the car, were thrown out,, but their injuries are slight . The car took fire after the acci-! dent and was burned up. 0 A Hood Friend. ' Latta Observer. Here is a little story for you, or we should have said a reality that i sounds like a story, about Jonah | : swallowing the whale, the hen InyI ing the golden eggs or the catfish j story we printed last spring. It is vouched for by Mr. W. Ellis Bethea, one of our leading mer chants and business men. Mr. Be| thea added to his long list of duits this year that of raising chick- , ens and has succeeded wonderfully, i ;o much bo that he has found it. a problem to dispose of all the eggs, j He has eggs for breakfast, eggs for I dinner and eggs for supper. l.ast week was a bully week for the hens 1 and eggs came so fast that they became more plentiful than ever and not much vigilance was used in maK ing the daily collections from the 1 nests. One afternoon about sunset late | in the week while feeding his horse ; Mr. Bethea noticed a nest on a pile . of hay in the loft, and calling his j son Phil he sent him to get the eggs. Phil proceeded to the loft ' with a boys usual basket and pan ! combined, his hat. Mr. Bethea soon heard Phil hollering that there were j too many eggs and that his hat ivould not held them. Mr. Bethea ' seized the feed basket and proceedI ed to the loft where, with Phil's ; aid, he collected fifty-five fresh 1 laid eggs to add to his already large supply In the pantry. Mr. J. H. Sedberry, a former Dlll| unite who is farming near Latta was among the visitors in town Friday. Story of the Preacher. Anecdotes In which the mean and grasping man is outwitted or held I up to ridicule are popular everywhere and always. Few ancient towns are without their historic or traditional instnces of ctingi-1 ness punished or sharp practices defeated. In one village in New England there is still current such a tale concerning an unpopular parson of more than a century ago. | Although a learned man of im-1 pressive manners, this clergyman was noted for undue reluctance to i expend and readiness 10 acquire, tlei I had a habit of uleading poverty for i gifts. The parish, although with some murmuring, had responded with fuel for the kitchen, hay for his horse. Thanksgiving turkeys for his table I and a "subscription cloak" of black satin for his wife when her wedding immtal became shabby. The murmurs increased when it was found that the parson turned an honest, but overshrewd penny by selling, instead of using many of these donations. But they were not j loud enough to disturb his statedly calm, and he went his awy with' out condescending to notice them.l At last, however, fortune played : him trick for trick. One pleasant winter day he made a round of calls, and at each home when about to leave lie casually asked his hostess if she could let him have a little piece of cheese, as his wife happened to have none in the house and unexpected company had arrived. In each case, the good i housewife instead of a little piece j generously presented him with a i whole cheese, which he graciously {accepted. As he turned from Ihe door stone at the close of the last visit, while the mother of the family and her brood of nine children, stood politely gathered to watch him drive away, he carelessly pulled the wrong rein?the .sleigh tipped sharply on a drift, ! and out from under the ministerial ! lap robe rolled nine large cheeses. | Which spun friskly away in all diI rections over the icy crust. His hostess understood the situj ation at a glance. non't disturb yourself, pray sir," she urged politely, as he made a motion to descend. It is quite unnecessary. The children will gather them up and none he overburdened. nor will there be any quarreling for the privilege. See. it is just a cheese to a child. So it was; and the embarrassed parson, unable to escape, was obliged to receive bacfc*his cheeses, with due thanks to each giggling volunteer as they came up in gleeful procession one by one.?Selected.
