In 1876 William Westmoreland,
well- to-do merchant, farmer and poet*
fnaator at Samaria, in this county
married Miss Malsey Duffey, also of
this county. Seven children were the

on the ground that in 1892 his wife,
Malsey Westmoreland, bad deserted
him and was still deserting him. A
copy of his petition was aeivid upon
who did not oppose the pro
ceedings. *
On the Hading of the Jury in the di

Richmond county, Georgia, ordered
and deoned, "that the mid William
WeetmorSmnd and the said Malsey
Westmoreland be, and they are here

And it was ordered 1 ‘that they each
be privileged to marry again without

marriage to each other.”
—Two years after this deeree was

The mamaore at the American
PresbyMrlau mission at Ltenohaq on
October 28, when five persons were
killed and two severly wounded by a
m >b of Chinamen was caused by the
action of two members of tuomlsslon
the daughter of Dr. Machle and a
deaconess, in endeavoring to dissuade
a number of Ohlneee worshippers
from (flaring prayers to an Idol. The
two women are said'to have seised the
Image which the Ohlnaooen were
worshipping and refuse d to rsturn it.
The mob destroyed all the American
missionary establishments and sub-
J-oted the mlsblonarles to many out
rages. The bodies of five persons
who were killed were thrown into the
river. Six French priests living in
the vicinity were not harmed. There
is no fear of further trouble in Lien
obau. A Chinese mandarin dispatch
ed soldiers to the scene as soon as he
heard of the trouble, but they arrived
to late to save the missionaries. It
is also stated that the mob was anger
ed at a request by Dr. Machle that a
temporary theatre which had been
erected near the American mission
hospital, should be removed. The
rcob found a skeleton in the mission
instruction room and carried it in the
prooeasioD through the town, exhibitr
ing it as an instenos of tbs foreigner’s
treatment of the Chinese. The re
quest of Dr. Machle for the removal
of the theatre was on tcxmnt of the

were pursued ard all killed excepting

_ A dispatch from Philadelphia says
the political revulotion in that city

every office for wbipb there was any

It is also tbs lint time in a quarter
of a century that the regular republl
cans have been defeated for the con
trol of tbd state treasury. Memora
ble contests have been waged against
the republicans for the effloe, but
without succese.
The plurality of William H. Berry,
who waa nominated by the democrats
independent party, Lincoln party and
prohlbltlonlsta for state treasurer,
will be nearly 100,0)0 and may go
above those figures. J. Lee P>um
mer, the republican candidate, ran
far behind his ticket in nearly every
county in the state. The remainder
of the republican ticket was elected
by the usual republican pluralities
President Roosevelt’s plurality last
year was more than a million. The
victory for the city party, the reform
organization, over the regular repub
Hoans ttr PKIUdelphla as complete
and beyond the expectation of tha ae
reform leaders. The city party’s
plurality is 43,333. The reform wave

of this verdict Is far reaching, and not
only iff'Ota Westmoreland himself,

stigmatises the children of thia sec
ond marriage as t aiterds.
The supreme court will have stv

This is the drat time, on the orim
Inal ilct if i)i uDtt,a (sis ot'th
kind has arisen, and for that reason
it will be wellt) g va the main legal
featnres of the proceedings, as the fl
nal status of the esse will establish
a prsoedent, and the declaration^of
the supreme court of & u h Carolina
will lay down the law more clearly
with reference to this matter of com
Ity between the Slates and Jurladic
Mon of the person.
As a defense to the charge against
bins Westmoreland, through his coun
eel. effersd the decree of d voroe
granted him by the superior court
of Augusta, separating him from his
JMftjnfii and also the marriage license
he obtained from the ordinary court
of Augusta and the marriage oertlfl
sate of the justice of peace who
salted him In the holy bonds of
matrimony to Mia Adora Burgess
hie second wife.
The State’s position wss that tiie
divorce Westmoreland obtained in
Georgia was no good for the reason, as
the solicitor contended, that the
courts of Georgia had ne jurisdiction
over Westmoreland, as he was not
orttton of Georgia, but of South Oaro-
Jina. And to vUbitantiate this cod
tendon evidence was introduced to
show that Westmotaland’s claim to
etknonahip a a Gaorgsan only went
to the extent of his renting a room in
Augusta, which he only occasionally
ones or twice a month
would mats a flying visit to
Augusta, add that he had never
bandoned bis south Carolina citizen
ship; that a temporary absence from
the State does not change the roe!
danoe nr domide of a person.
There was a good deal of evidence
Introduced tending to prove that
Westmoreland never permamently
abandoned or Intended to abondon
hie South Carolina residence an(
therefore, could not be said to have
been s citizen of Auguste. The prin
dpel fight in the case was on the
point of Jurisdiction and whether or
notthe Judgment of a foreign court
waa blading upon the court of trial
now sitting on the case. On these
Points Judge Gsge charged the jury
In suhetacoe as follows:

Some one has figure d out that tbe
average boy who Is* dependent upon
bis parents for a livelihood untU hi
reaches tbe age of 21 y ears, c eta them
14,000. Upon this basis cf calcula
tion a brood for instance, six boys,
will represent an outlay of 124,000 by
the time they leave the home roost
The question naturaUy arises, does it
pay to raise boys, and are there no
o.ber crops that would be more profi-
tabli! If a boy turns cut to be dgsr
ette tided with a laugh that woulc
make the wild untuiorted donkey feel

with an untrammeled and unoor q isr-
able desire to avoid work it is safe tc
-ay the parents might have ii vested

that wet Lb and success grow ot ly or
"ushes by the sweat of the brow, t) e
parents need not begrudge whatever
they have spent on him, for he will
be a source of increasing joy and pride
to their hearts when they grow old
and their bands tremble aud their legs
wabble and their steps are alow and
faltering. They will then have two
strong arms to lean upon.
