What might have been a serious if not a fatal accident to all parties in volved occurred when a feed wire of the S. C. Power Co., carrying 4500 volts, fell into highway No. 78 be tween White Pond and Williston a few minutes after nin e last Monday night. A car containing Rev. B. H. Duncan, of Williston. Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Jones and Mrs. S. A. Owens, of Barivvall, was returning from White Pond church where revival ser vices were in progress. It was rain ing- steadily and just around a bend in the road could be seen a small light waving as rf some one wanted a lift to get out of the rain. The driver swerved to pass the man when his car passed under and touched the broken feed wire. Fortunately for all concerned the power switch had turned off the current a very few minutes before this car passed. The average motorist would under all the “Marriage Complex" Lands Him in Chain Gang. * — Lafayette, Ga.—John Tucker, twen ty-five, must serve a two-year sentence in the chain gang because a “marriage complex” led him to take three beau tiful brides in less than three months. Judge James Maddox was abbut 4 to sentence Tucker to a short term on :tht plea that the caae be considered a misdemeanor, after Tucker's appeal to the Supreme court had resulted In a decision upholding his conviction. , > Menace to Womanhood. Prosecuting Attorney Smythe, how ever, objected. “Your honor,” be said, “since Tuck er's conviction of bigamy we have learned that he is in reality a polyg amist. The man seems to exercise an 'unholy influence over pretty women and apparently can^ curb his matri monial leanings. He should be given the limit, as a menace to the woman hood of this community." Judge Maddox, startled, asked for proof. It was furnished by wife No. 3 in person. She was very beautiful and very indignant. “I’m really the first one he mar ried." she said. "Those other wives explain why he was away from home so much." Investigation leading to the discov ery that Tucker had a surplus of wives started after he married Miss Alice Kutz. twenty-three, of LaF'ay- ette. A week after his marriage went to Alabama on pretense of a business trip. He did not return for some time, and in tbe meantime Miss Kutz found that he hud married an Aln- hamn beauty less than a week after her own marriage. . Officers Awaiting Him. Miss Kutz filed higamy charges, and, when Tucker returned to his Ijifay- ette bride he found officers awaiting him. He atlffSTTted he had something of a complex on the matter. • “I Just couldn’t help It." he said, modestly. "If I like a girl. 1 want to marry her. That's natural, iau't it? I guess I kind of forgot about tbe others girls I’d married.- "I was so much in love each time that I didn't think of anything until it was all over, and there I was mar ried again. "Money?, Naw, It didn’t cost me much. Two of my wives were work ing. and they even loaned me money.*' Wife No. 1 and No. 3 went with him to the chain gang to see that he was comfortable, and they will make their homes here, separately, however, until he has completed his term. Then they will, try to make some settlement. Mias Kutz is suing for divorce.
