Brought Against Him in
Marriage Matter.
RIV. J. H. STANLEY.
Well Known Former Citizen of Loris
Section Writes in Answer to the
Many Tales of Cossip About Certain
Matters,---Writes From Chadbourn,
N. C., His New Home.
As there springs up so much
clash tr.d t ilk about try two mar
riuges in a manner that no honest,
law-abiding man would like, 1 decided
that 1 would write a few facts
abouc the matter, so that my friends
would know just how it all was.
Now, soon alter I was married,
there sprung up a repoi t that I was
living with another man's wife
Well, I went up to North Carolina
where this woman lived and searched
for a record of her marriage and
could not find anything except her
and one Mr. Peterson
About eiglr, or nine years ago I
went over to South Carolina and
went back and wc lived together for
the period of fifteen months, then he
carried he r back to her father's and
left her there and weLt back to New
Jer*#y where he came from, and
now you can see what the people's
talk sttr .ed from,
She no v has the 01 lv record of
her marriage in life, which was t
me on November 21) b 11)13 vit i the
Clerk of C urt at Conway, S. C.
Some of my own people whom I
thought would have bothered any
one else be fore me, began to pick on
me in the church about living in
adultery. I t )ld them that 1 could
not see that 1 was and did not feel
so, for I married the woman cf my
choice under and by the iiceoso iws
of South Carolina. They pushed the
pa?o against me in the church, with
in ma'erial evidence, orlv a letter
from Peterson saying that he ?n *rrhd
her J told the church if they
counted that as evidence sufliclent
to drop me, to do so, so wjih a minority
of the church present, they
dropped me. They say now that I
am out of ihe church, but I want to
say to all Christians that I am with
them as I always was. Now, we do
set up a denial of the charge of living
in adultery as they say, because
if she ever was married t) this man
there is pes tively no rocoul of it,
I think that I have been treated
vpry wrong, for you know that I
have ever stood for the right and always
expect too. 1 have raised and
supported a helpless family by hard
honest worx, and this no man can
deny.
J did ac the Lord wculd have it,
got a woman thet has nicely filled
the place of a wife and a mother and
this is good enough for me. I now
live in my new home in North Carolina
and veil satisfied. My friends
can icach mc by fetter.
