An Accident Averted.
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.
HardeeviJle, wher, h, has accepted »| ,ndic,le a live win! in * publK ' h "''"
position in the light and powe r plant
of that city.
Mrs. Charles Carroll Simnu, who
has been visiting Barnwell friends for ’»
seveial weeks, returned to her home
in Washington, D. C., on Saturday. 1
way, but only some pedestrain who
wanted a lift to get out of the rain.
It is unfortunate that at this, point
the feed line of the power company
so close to highwray 78 that a
broken wire can fall in the highway.
Mrs. M. K. Hale, of Ashland, Ky.,
is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
B. L. Easterling. Mrs. Hale has many ,
friends here who welcome her to
