Judge Bellinger has complotod the i uunnariziiig of ?iarriago licenses issued since July 1 and finds. that, out of a total of 213 licenses issued, i - 6 were given to colored appli cants. Since July <1, 88 white per sons have niudo aplicatlons for per mits to bo married by somo qualifi ed person. 'iuo probate Judge's offico was once upon a time a proaai'j place, with nothing to broak tho monotony of wills, petitions) aud letters of ad ministration, all of which aro formal ...id staid reading matter. HUt^since (uu marriage license law became ef fective a spirit of romance frequont ..ij/ci-j within tho four thick wails.

Tho train was derailed and all the pas sengers wore more or less shaken up. Everybody in tho sleeping car tried to get out as hurriedly as possible, and in tho confusion our clothing got considerably mixed.

Thanksgiving a If JUUgotf It was the good fortune off a, member of The Cbronlble staff to. spend Thanksgiving day at Lugoff at the hospitable home of that ex cellent gentleman, Mr. W. R. Rea sonover. Mr. Reasonover had a house full of his friends and swift ly did the hour* go by and all too soon the timo for leaving came. Mr. Reasonover M very fond of children sud takes an especial Interest In the little ones at the tSpworth Or phanage, and frequently he goes ovei4 to Columbia and brings back ;a crowd of these llttlq folks* to ^perid days and some timon weeks at hirt homer. He now has at his homo ono of these little children, Ethel Vice, of Union, whose father and mother are both dead, and never have we Been a sweeter or more Interesting little child than she Is. Although sho Is only three years old she can Join Mr. Reason over, whom she calls "Grandpa," In singing several hymns. Seeing this dear little girl was alone weU worth the trip to Mr. Reaeonoverl house, and we were forcibly Im pressed wlthl the goodness of Qod in ptutlng it upon the hearts! of such people at( Mr. and Mrs. Reas onover to aaroj for children such as little Ethel. The dinner served would have done credit to a wedding feast- ? and we predlbt that St will not be always before there will be a wed ding feaBt at Mr. ReaBonover's aouso for such young ladles as his two interesting daughters who can rferve Buch a dinner are in demand as houBCkoepers. The Btory would not be complete without mention ing the wagon ride which was en Joyed in the afternoon by several young ladles and gentlemen. ? While waiting for tbo party to return an automobllo passed and we thought It waa the wagon re turning but the yoijng ladies de clare the animal they were driving wad not an automobllo at all. Wisdom of J jaw Shown. A. young whito manl called at tho offlco of the Judge of Probate one day this week for the purpose of obtaining a marriage licenso. Upon questioning the groom-elect It was learned that the bride-to-be was "under ago." Tho young man ?was told that beforoi a license could bo isuuod It would be necessary for her parents to give their written i consent to tho marriage. The i |/oung man replied that th eyj op posed tho "match" and for tjiat roason their consent could not be obtained. Ho went away dljected, stating that he would try tho "old folks" again'. Such cases aH this afford practi cal illustrations of tho wisdom of tha marriage llconso law. Runa way marriages will not be so fro quont as in tho past. Coed and Evil Genius.

GET MORE MONEY. Are you satisfied that your pres ent position is equal to your ability, or do you think '$ou are capable of something bigger? Many a man hangs on to a small position when a little training of the right sort would show him just how to make the change to more money and brighter prospects. The first step toward getting better equipped and a better position is to write for a catalogue of Draughon's Practical Business . College, at Columbia or Greenville, 8.

The Milburn Wagon bears evidence on the suface of skillful workmanship and good material, culminating in a beautifully finished wagon, HOWEVER, you should have MORE conclusive EVIDENCE than this, you should KNOW of the painstaking selection ,of the MATERIAL of its scientific SEASONING and AGING, its careful TREATMENT before it goes to fulfill its proper place in a finished wagon.
