"THURSDAYTMAR. 23~7I922 NO LEGAL REMEDY There was detailed in our last issue the tria1 of the case of the State o i-i- " ' 1 "i ouuvii Carolina against hod .uisnoe, who was charged with having committed an assault and battery, with intent In'U upon his father-in-l.aw, G. K. Dorman. The tacts showed 'hat the difficulty grew out of the fact that he was separated from his wife. The judge of the court in sentencing the defendant, after he had been found guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravated ryiture, said that no doubt both sides had clone wrong in the matter. Tn the course of his charge to the jury that trie 1 Mi-hoe for h;s crime the judge said that he would charge the jury that there is no law to compel a husband to live with his wife, and none to compel a wife to live with her husband. i i . _ 1 .... i 1 * . i i in laying uown mis suiumikmu 01 tho law the court war only repe.atii.y; the same thing1 that has been so often told to men and women when seeking advice rom lawyers concerning their domestic relations. It appears that laymen have all sorts of not ions about the marriage relation. Manv a nvm has sought out his t'av ' ito 'awyer wh.en his wife left him and took up again with her father and mother, only to he told that tho k:w is powerless to bring her back to him. Many have thus shown that they had tlie idea that when the wife has gone aw/iv legal steps may ho had that will bring her back to the home. I.?ut it is not so. It ought not and should not he like that. In this state, once married always married. There is no relief hv means of divorce, as there is in most of the remaining states of the union. Since there is no divorce in South Carolina, it wou'd indeed be carrying the marriage relation too far to compel a man and woman to live together after they have tried it and found it impossible and unbearable. So that all men and also all women who come to the lawyers' oflices to seek advice when the other has picked up and left, can only be told as Bob Mishoe w;is told, tlvit while it is best for a man and woman who have assumed the marriage relation to live togethei in peace and happiness, yet if one chooses to live apart, the other has no legal means of making- him or hei come back. There is relief that the wife ma\ lvive against the husband who fail> to provide her or the chi'dren with support. There is a statute which makes it a misdemeanor to do thai and he has to give a bond or go tr the chaingang; but this does not mear that he has got to live with the wife The court went on to say to Mishoc while imposing on him the fine ol $100 that he had to pay, as a penaitx for shooting hi; frther-in-law, thai there was the absence of "give am take" in their manned life, or else this sad saparation would not hav( taken place. Me hoped that the Christian religion would yet reunite these two people. Yet, in th.e course of his remarks he said that he hae seen enough in the ease to make hin fear that reconciliation might be im possible for all time to come. o Work well done brings sat .< 'Vciloi above that of die mo. t powerful tim ulant. Good will is one of the best ele ments ed' any service, and ti*? i- tlv element which is so often left out. Dr. Frank Crane says that th.e tim to begin a task is now, and he is right Things never begun will never 1) ended. The ti; tie is not yet past when me will strive wi h 'meh other in enccl1 ing in tho products of their skill an deep thinking. o We may not hit the spot that w are aiming at, but we will come i near to hitting it as we can. Thi is our motto. o The latest name for Homewood Homebrew, and there is no ex plan; tion for the reason except the desii of some traveler on the bus line 1 find something to laugh at. (j Tt appears that good judgment w; lacking in building the piers aloi some of the trestles of the nation highway across the Pee Dee Riv beyond Gallivants Ferry. Instead the wood buttresses there should 1 concrete. With the right kind these the chaingang of Marion cou ty would not have been kept so bu as it is now in replacing earth wash away by the high waters in t swamps. Traveling was difficult the for several days last week owing these washouts and it took time a money to replace the dirt that w wrshed away. Pet us, however, co pliment the road officials of Mari for their promptness in making t repairs. ( BEST COUNTY FU PALMAFESTA Chance to Advertise Count; During Big F< April 1! STATEWIDE INTERES^ A prize of $500 for the best county float entered in the big Palmafesta parade in Columbia next month has iust l>een announced by James G. Holmes, parades chairman. The Palmafesta parade will be made up of three sections, practically three parades in one, the floral parade, trades display and county floats. The hie; parade will be headed by the Queen's float and followed by the section devoted tc county floats. This division will be in choree of James M. Green. Jr. "The idea," says Mr. Green, "is to give each county in South Carolina a chance to bring: before the people of the entire state some outstanding: features of its resources. history 01 commercial progI ress. l ost year's float parade was wivne seel by thouands of people from oh ov?r 1 lie state and was carried to every seeton of the country as a part of the Path? Weekly moving: picture news. The advertising: to be secured in his way being; worth the effort even if the $500 prize be left out of the consideration." Common 1 l i. cial secretaries or ciuds wisnmg u> enter county floats are requested to write Mr. Holmes or Mr. Green. Forty-five South Carolina counties are now actively engaged in local contests to secure the candidates for Queen of Palmafesta.

South Carolina made an enviable record in both the Itevoluc' mar/ and j the World Wars. Her pal, ;oti-in is ; evidenced by the nunibci ot men jwho have fought and die 1 for 1 or cause, and by the stand she ha>'alI ways taken when honor wan at ! stake. No more unselfish and patriotic people can be found than in .this State, and no sacrifice has been too great for them. South Carolina' , part in the Revolutionary war is' , well known. Her sons fought bravei ly and her daughters worked cease. lessly and untiringly during those long, weary years. Charleston, which was then called . Charles-Town, was the scene of the . first fighting in South Carolina dur, ing the Revolutionary War, which oc. cured November 12, 177b. The first serious defeat of the . English during the war was when . Clinton attempted to enter Cjtarles, I Town, hut he was successfully re pulsed by William Thomson and hi > -1 small body of riflemen. As the , j British had planned to capture , | Charles-Town and make their way I from there through the Southern >jStates, this was considered a great {victory for South Carolina. Anothe' . I victory occurred when Andrew Wil t bam?on with his force of men conj|(;uered the Cherokee Indians who had jjbeen influenced by the British to aid I them. Their aid was in the form of ^burning homes, ruining crops and tor ^'nienting captives. Alter t.ns victory the Indians ceded to the Carolinians ? all the land now included in the counties of Anderson, Pickens, Oconee and Greenville. Atrain, when the British later planned to capture the Southern States, they were successful in taking Savannah, and 1 hundreds of English soldiers then poured into the country and marked their pathway by pillaging, burning and dstriying. In 17:10 Charles-Town was ate tacked again by a land arid so force. The American soldiers, con. manded by I ir.colr., fought bravely e but being outnumbered, they wer .. forced to surrender.

IN )LUTK)NARY WAR I that when the Hritish minister heard of this victory he said: "We look on America as at our feet." This shows how important South Carolina's town was regarded by the enemy. Hands of patriots were organized under Francis Marion, Andrew Pick ens, John Thomas, Edward Ha'mifon. Andrew Hamilton and William (Harden, and did very effective wo; h jin driving the British troops from the I upper pavt of the state. One ot Cornwallis's detachments under Fer'guson, was completely defeated a' ! K in it's Mountain by the patriots o (North Carolina and Virginia. This ; w as such a severe blow that the Bri . tish were forced to retreat south j ward, and it is termed by some hi jlorian the turning* point, of the war (American independence was won ir jthe South by the zeal of the parti: san leaders. South Carolina had a glorious re"j ord in this war. One hundred am i thirty-seven battles were fought 01 South Carolina soil. Of this number 10!', were engaged in by Soutl Carolinians alone; in twenty the\ were aided by troops from ofbe states, and. fourteen, including Camden. were fought by outsiders.

C., MAR. 23, 1922 her soldiers assisted in Virginia-. < North Carolina and Georgia. Bancroft ; says of South Carolina: "Lett mainly to her own resources, it was through ' the depths of wretchedness that her 1 sons were to bring her back to her place in the Republic, after suffer- < ing more and doing more, and achieving more, than the men of any other 1 state." This statement is something ' for every South Carol mi an to be proud of. But perhaps the part which South I Carolina played in the World War is more interesting to all of us because we have lived through that period, and have in a small way had a part in it. When we think of South Carolina's part in the world war we naturally think of the sacrifices she made in giving up her greatest as. set?her young men, who held the future of the State in their hands. Bat an organization which did a great work for South Carolina dur-1 ing that crucial period, when every-j thing was in a turmoil, and in such an unsettled condition, was the Stat'-, Council of Defense. This council was ? organized in June, 1917, under the; direction of Governor Manning and worked in co-opevation with the (National Council of Defense, without! jadoMuatc funds until the following*! jJaraa-ry, when the General Assembly I jof South Carolina gave it legal stu i i tus. and appropriated $50,000 for| .carrying out the purposes of the or-, garization. This com cil met th i [needs of so many newly organized 1 ; wo'ks brought on by the war the : I , it is impossible to me* 'ion them all.* I If we note tDo committees we shav j see the lines of work attempted ' j These committees were as follows: Executive and finance. publicity.! military matters, production and con- i serration of food stuffs. n lustries ' transportation, co-operation of act'-; :vities of patriotic organizations, j }ai iiv, medicine and sanitation, al- > /liefvoce p?nior\/l Im* pp. ' I I' V IClUV/li \J 1 V/.'O Vf.VI V VI %?

The Council realized the fact thai ! | it was not n'oro an ar;,\v t!::.t had i to he shaped and I rained for war, but a nation as wed. and proceeded, to the task of "informing the ur J dorstanding, of awakening the mora' ! vision, and the mora1 passion, of 'Toon tire people, concerning the cause for which they fought." | A woman's Council of Defense of j South Carolina was also o? ganized jand was in close and intel'igcnt >p| oration with the State Council.
