Probate Judge Belliugor's offico.
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

'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. Frequently a blushing pair
i :>uie noiselessly luto the room and
in trembling tones request that they
bo given a certificate which entitlos
them lo one chauco In tho marriage

'rhls Is om> of KM Perkins' favor
ite stories: "It was on a train go
iM(; iOast ouo .summer night," lie
says, "when there was a wreck. 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. I
had worn a pair of white duck trou
sers, but I couldn't flud thorn. Fi
nally, 1 did find a pair of trousers,
1 put thorn on quickly, but I could
ui't. loavo the car!' You see, they
were not teen's trousers "
_ Hero there is always general
laughter, and Perkins looks about
in a pained sort of way, then goes
on ?

waa very good indeed.
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.

a quarter, and darted out lato the

extended for a full block in either

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. C., or Augusta, Ga.,
or Nashville, Tenn.

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.
It is SERVICE that COUNTS. SERVICE to the WAGON USER has ,
