S' uth Carol r> H?i not think It neces s?r/ to se d a del ^ate to the Con Kress, but so ably championed oy VI r 'A c'i McGhee, of CrluriKla, who preset-? as a spectator. One of the delegates fr^ui New Verk, Mr. Logan, said cha.1 Ni* York tad eu-'y one c; use fur divorce, anc ol j ctxd to any resolution adopter* saootlf nb g additional or.e. lie adder (hat Soutn Caroli ia had no divorce law aod theief. re it * ould rot he proper to sokk' st- any cauies for a divorce Ktv in that State. Mr It cimu'K, of Oh cago, In an ira pas.i nrd ape ch, declared that < n tilt statute bo ks of South Carolina was t rw providing how much money h man way will to his cof.cubiuc. H? strongly a vie r ted th&j tho state of morao y obtaining in South Oaroliua was, therefore, uoa a tii ?x?mple for other States. Mr. M-Qhee, a spectator, sitting i.Qo to Mf.

Mr. M G <.ee said lie. had noted that, and did nut believe those present, s a rule, wculd stand for the slander against the morality of his State. He added that he was rot In a posituntodenv that there might be on the statutes some such law, but if so It waa an old freak law. He had lived in South Carolina tome thirty odd years and could deny that, as to laws in force, as a matter of fact there was no such law, and that the obarge that there was recognized concubinage was a slander beneath the Congress. While he was speaking the gentleman who had made the charge stated that he know there was suon a Uw. Another gentleman, sitting noar the front caused prolonged laughter and applause by calling ont: "There is no Km,*- tn V. ~ - , * I - ~ - l~ fl ? ? " uuii u m VI!'" AUlUULll 1U ukiior O'.AIVS." Mr. WcGhee also said that, in his opinion, while South Carolina did not in this andjnevor had in anything tried to force her peculiar views, customs, Institutions or la wit on any other State or Section, whatever resolutions this or any other Congress might pass would not atT?ct his State, as ha did not believe South Carollua would for many generations, if ever, pass a divorce law. The unexpected def >nder of South Carolina was loudly applauded when ha resumed his seat and thanked the Congress for thler courtesy and patience in granting him a hearing. ltovoluttoiiixing Corn Crowing. The methods by which Mr. E. Mclver Williamson makes an average yield of from tiff-two to ?i/hbj-li*e bushels of corn to the aero, acx>rdmg to the seasons, are detailed in another part of this paper. The average yield of corn in South Carolina is less than ten bushels to the acre and as a consequence much money made on the "money cri ps" so called is s nt out"f the Stat-? to buy corn. Ti e State Hays "every farmer knows or slicuid kn ,w Mclv;r Williamson, lie is absolutely reiuole and we are authoriz :d by Mr. I) it, (Joker, editor of the Ilartsvllle Me-senger, to say that Messr?. John T. liters, R. II Rogers, T. F. Wallace, J imes Mclutosh and many other progressive farmers of Darllt gt on county have ad pted Mr. Williamsons method and pre titer! greatly thereby. Several of Mr Williamson's neighbors, who, like him, used to buy corn, now sell if. It is only after much persuasion tha Mr. Williamson has presented his method to the public; he is Inspired solely by the belief that, having so tlrmly established the practicability o his theories <u to make results appear to him a cerlalny, it is a patriotic duty for him to give tiic Southern peop e the benefit of his invest! gatlons We hope every paper in the South will give publicity to Mr. Wi liamson's method of growing corn, so that experiments will be mode in every community this spring" We hope some of the farmer's in this county who, we feel sure, will try Mr. Williamson's plan, will give the nubile trie benefit of the result of the experiment through these columns this fail. To their credit be It saii that the American and Jlrltish delegates to Algeclras did not attend the bull tight that was held Sunday in honor of the foreign ambassadors in attendance upon the Moroccan conference. -v^ CURES AI RHEUMAC1DE ha had failed.

Yours truly. JAMES W A TKAOIO sl'OttY. WOMAN DltOWNbl) HKIt THflKK GlilbOKEN AND UKltSKLP, Phe Tossed Her Children from the Fall River Steamer Plymouth. The open door of a state room which had been occupied by a woman and three young children on a trip of the Fall River Line steamer Plymouth, from New York to Fall R<ver, Mass., early Tuesday morning led to tin discovery that Mrs. John Walters of Brooklyn, N. Y., had taken idie lives of her three little ones and then her own. Mrs. Walters apparently had thrown overboard her two daughters and Infant son and then jumped after them. Investigation by the attaches of the steamer Indicated that the tragedy recurred between midnight and 3.30 a. m., the fact of the state rof m being unoccupied having beeu discovered j ist before the Plymouth made the Newport landing. The woman left two notes addressed to her husband. In one penciled on the back of an enve ope she begged forgiveness; in the other, written on wrapping pap.r. she! ssid that she "had worried" u?if<l s in J feared Insanity and could not boar to ! iu. -i.n J luave tin; uunureu. Some hours after the arrival of the Plymouth at her port, Dwigbt Brady sou of Capfc. James Brady, collector of the port of Fall Rlvtr, identified articles found In the state room an belonging to his s ster, Mrs. Watters, who apparently was comlnv to Fall; River to visit her relatives. Mrs. Wat- j ters was al>out 30 years of ago. Her j children were: Helen, aged 4; Dorothy, 2 years, and an infant son of ten j months. 1'HOST HATED WITH GHIKK, A dispatch from Now York says John W. Watters Is manager of the insurance bureau of the natlor ol As sedation of Manufacturers. He. was prostrated when told of his wife's death. To a business associate, Mr. Watters said that his vifo had been subject to short spells of Insanity and that she spent some time in a srnilarium several years ago. Mr. Wat ters said his wife's troubles were en t.lrely imaginary ard that their home life was always happ/. Mrs. Watter's mental affection, ; which It was thought had been practically cured, took the form of a dd perate anxiety for her children. Tho Morrin Incident, At Washington l)r.
