Wasson Criticizes
Provisions Of New
Marriage License Law
% . " ■
Laurens, July 12—(Probate Judge
J. Howlette Wasson this week
blasted legislation passed by the
1957 General Assembly relating to
the issuance of marriage licenses
and proof of age required before
such licenses can be issued.
He severely criticized the bill as
enacted, declaring That it puts un
due hardship on young people un
der the age of 16 desiring to get
married and those over that age
who are unable to legally estab-j
lish the date and place of birth.
"The intent of the legislation is
good, but the bill as worded is in
my estimation “Very unsatisfactory
and is unfair both to youthful ap
plicants and probate judges in its
provisions, Judge Wasson declared.
He pointed out that the law makes
it impossible for a youth less than
16 and a girl under 14 to be issued
a marriage license under any cir
cumstances.
The judge said he had person
ally always required proof of age
but that the new measure goes
too far. He opposed the bill in
hearings conducted prior to its
passage. It was signed into law by
Gov. George Bell Timmerman, Jr.,
on June 11. The act is as follows:
(a) No such license shall be is
sued when the woman or child
woman is under the age of four
teen or when the male is under
the age of sixteen, provided that
when the female applicant is be
tween the ages of fourteen to
eighteen and when male appli
cant is between the ages of six
teen to eighteen and when the ap
plicant resides with father or
mother, or other relative or guard
ian, the probate judge shall not
issue a license for marriage un
til a sworn affidavit signed by
such father or mother or other
relative or guardian has been
furnished the probate judge giv
ing his or her consent to the mar-

Robert and Emma Turner Cal-
i houn. She had made her home
in Cross Hill practically her en-
! tire life and was a member of
1 L i'b e r t y Springs Presbyterian
: Church.
Mrs. Hanna was twice married.
Her first marriage was to J. C.
McGowan, who died in 1897. By
j this marriage one son survives, J.
C. McGowan, of Ninety-Six.
Her second marriage was to
John W. Hanna, who died in 1944.
By this marriage one daughter
and two sons survive, Mrs. Bert
; B. Williams, of Charleston; N. C.
Hanna, of McCormick; and Frank
j Hanna, of Newberry.
Also surviving are five sisters,
Mrs. R. T. Bell, Mrs. R. C. Stames,
Bonner ,and W. J. Calhoun.

Red Spider Attacks
Cotton In The County
Farmers are calling his office
for information on the control of
red spider attacking cotton, says
County Agent C. B. Cannon.
Hot, dry weather is most favor
able to the spread of red spider.
The small spider-like insect, vary
ing from reddish to yellowish in
color, attacks the underside of the
cotton leaf and causes the leaf to;
show a mottling on the upper
side. This coloring is often in
correctly called “rust” on cotton.
Red spider may be spread over
large areas by people walking
through infested areas, getting
the spider on their clothes, or by
driving machinery dusting cot
ton, or animals.
Red spider may be controlled
by dusting with malathion, ara-
mite, or dusting sulfur when the
air is still. A hard blowing rain
is also good in controlling red
spider .

Chiropractors Call
For Halt In Testing
Of Nuclear Weapons
Greenville—The Western Caro
lina Chiropractors Association, at
a symposium on X-ray radiation
standards, went on record tonight
as opposing further test explos
ions of nuclear weapons for the
time being, and endorsed a pro
posal of Admiral Lewis Strauss
for "a new kind of conference
among nations,” bringing together
the “chief humanities” of our day
to seek a durable world peace.
The association passed a resolu
tion calling for a moratorium on
nuclear tests “until such time as
Hie government can give~assur-
ance that all present findings
have been thoroughly evaluated
and the hazards of fallout more
precisely determined.”
“We do not want to appear to
be alarmists,” said Dr. C. J. Hart,
of Laurens, president of th e South
Carolina Chiropractors profession,
which pioneered in the use of
X-rays in diagnostic and analyti
cal work, we understand the na
ture and dangers of radiation, and
are simply asking for all possible
caution with respect to this moat
dangerous source of radiation.”
“Despite the recent announce
ment of possible ‘clean’ nuclear
weapons,” he said, “scientists ad
mit there still are many unknown
quantities.”
