Distribute Athene folders among the mer /chants who deal with furniture, bent wood, mattress, coffin snd , other factories to be inclosed by Jthem with every order given {their people. The former write itap of "Cannon as a Winter Re .sort" can be-widely distributed ,by the proprietors of the several .winter hotels here, and we are ' .sure they will take pleasure in ^doing so. As it is, we are on the ^reife of a great commercisl and jnaterisl revival of prosperity, gtmt, there is an old saying that, ."'God only helps those who help ^themselves. *' In this connection, ..we want to urge upon all our .dtisens the vast im|*artance to 41fce city of their giving active ^support io their newspapers. It jbas been well said that a com munity is judged somewhat by ,the quality of its newspapers, if it is not exactly up in news ?matter, just so tlie advertising ?columns are well filled with at tractive advertisements, the phomeseeker. and investor will -jbe struck with the fact that the ^-community in which that paper ^circulates is alive to its own in terests, and will gave more than i* passing thought to the subject p has in mind. In the past we jWere too dead socially, com mercially, and in the matter of ..the development of business en terprises. Vow, however, we jdo not believe that we have s jpessimist in our midst. A very Juttte more waking up will place ?*s within a few years on the jrery pinnacle of prosperity. /The opportunity is within our jgrasp. Will we seise it? We Jtbink so. As far as we are con cerned, the columns of The Peo ple are always open to the pub lication of any srticlo that will jjtend to PUSH CAMD&N. A PECULIAR CASE. A peculiar case has just come ^ip for settlement in the courts. As is well known, the State of 3ik>uth Carolina does not f?ruu I [divorces, or recognise us valid t*those granted in other States. TThe latter according to our ideas .is a manifest travesty on justice. jTo explain, if a married couple tin this State are living unliappi * Ay together by reason of the in fidelity of one or the other of 'the couple, if tlie husband is a jjbrute who subjects hU wife to ^continued ill-treatment* or the .wife makes the husband's life Raiser able because of constant exhibitions of jealousy, or other conduct calculated to keep that *htiebaiid att %. continual state of irritation, it a husband deserts jliis wife without adequate cause, - or vice versa, South Carolina \h rough its constitution and ?aws, says that these parties must not re-marry even though legally divorced in another 3tate. The constitution goes so "fsr as to declare such re-mar riage bigamy, and punishable 4is such. The injustice of this l^ovision in the constitution is |too plain for extended comment The peculiar case in connec tion with the above is tli&t of br. Kenyon V. Millard, a lectur er of wide reputation, and a Miss Kenyoa, of St Georges. JThis couple weal to Orangeburg . pm Wednesday, the 19th inst. and were marrie<1 by the Rev. "Ughtfoot. It transpired later fbml Dr. Millard whs a divorced jnan, and ? great hullo-balu uroee. The reverend was boipi tied that he bad been ?*g*#ed htbetrinsaoUoB. All goody goody fc^ks likewise, and the consequence Is fhat Dr. Millard was arrested on 4bo charge ?f . Irigaoiy. It Is stated that ttie dlvorqed wlte of J)r. Millard }|i dead, b^t whether dead or alive, ? af fa wat ditortc4\ and if p , k ? * f p -HT. carried to llbt United ttibttal Would quickly kn6e* (mte ftUord fiilitou la gar OootlituUoto by the term f* vbieh divorce* granted In otter Slates av% Ml nemnM In |8ontb Caroline. Wehi^iMpd paUte attention %? this d^Sn oa a former oecadon, condemn ing it then as we do now, aad we do not think that any antl dlroroe advocate can oontrovert our position. We do not desire to govoa record aa an advocate cC a divorce law allowing di vorcee on trivial gvoanda but we do meet strongly believe that a law embracing the three causes mentioned would not only worn benefit to many individuals, but would tend greatly to the rate ng of the morale of the entire community. Infidelity, extreme cruelty, desertion. These are great crimes, and why the great State of South Carolina should subject the Innocent party to a lifetime of auffertng or humili ation when he or she could make for themselves a happy home, passes our comprehension. The time will come, perhaps not in our time, when a now constitu tion will have to be framed. When the people will see the in justice that is being done and will right it. Numerous other thoughts strike us along this line, but for the honor of the State, we hope that this case of Dr. Millard will be carried np to the U. S. Supreme Court m that the question can be definite ly settled. Society Dotes. S.tard.y e?rn'?f found a very small but congenial party fathered at the hospitable home of Mr*.

Carroll Is right though, alright, and no one bnt a fool will take an opposite position. Comptroller General Jones has raised the former valuation of the Standard Oil Company's property from $56,000 as given by them, to $200,000. Pretty stiff raise, bnt we guess A. w. knows what he is doing. The Spartanburg Herald Pub lishing. Company has been capi talised in the sum of $10,000. We are reoeptive to a similar pro ceeding. With $10,000 at our back we oould make The People flourish and expand as a green bay tree. Henry planter, a negro, is in jail in Columbia on a charge of wife murder.

Time to Pray. A preacher at the conclusion of one of his sermons said: "Let sll in the house who are paying their debts stand up." Instant ly every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said : "Now every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception noted,a care-worn, hungry-looking individual,cloth ed in his last summer s suit, slowly assumed a perpendicular position. "How is it, my friend," asked the minister, "that you are the only man not to meet his obligations?" -'I am running a newspaper," he meekly answer ed, "and the brethren here who stood up are my subscribers, and?" "Let us pray," exclaimed the minister.?Joplin News-Herald. Call on us, "The People" Before Purchasing LEGAL BLANKS Elsewhere? Money To Loan On improved farm lands in Kershaw County.
