S. Seas, sitting In chambers, has an?
nulled the marriage contract be?
tween Mr. Walker and Miss Ida Jor?
dan, a pretty telephone operator of
this city on August 20, last.
In his complaint Mr. Walker de?
clared he waa so drunk when the
marriage ceremony waa performed
that he had no recollection of it and
did not know he was married until he
woke up in the Argyle hotel the fol?
lowing morning and found Miss Jor?
dan with him and she told him she
was his wife.
In her answer to his suit, Miss Jor?
dan admitted all his allegations. Rev.
W. M. Whiteaides. pastor of Green
Street Baptist Church, who married
the couple, said that when they came
to him it was evident that Mr. Walker
had been drinking, but he was in per?
fect command of all his senses.
"I talked to them both for some
time, said Mr. Whitesides, "telling
them what an important step it wan
that they were taking and asking
they If they had fully made up their
minds. Mr. Walker said he and Miss
Jordan had been sweethearts for two
years and were determined to be
married.
In asking for the annullment
Mr. Walker said that on August 20
and the day proceeding, he and other
young men had been drinking to cx
Oees in Greenville. He was drunk
that evening and while in that con?
dition went to Spartanburg. arriving
about 9 o'clock. He entered a hack
at the station, bought a pint of whls
key from the hackman and took a
big drink, "and soon became oblivious
to all transpiring events and uncon?
scious of what I was doing."
11?- has P ai ned that some time dur
inK the night he went or was carried
to MISS Jordan's home and that about
I o'clock of tbe same night he and
Miss Jordan vent to Rev. Mr. White
Sides1 house and were married.
Me remained unconscious, he said,
until th next morning, when he
found himself In a room at the Argyle
with Miss Jordan.
She told him they had been mar?
ried. He at once left the hotel, he
said, and returned to Greenville, and
ti is not seen Miss Jordan since.

BANKER YEAR IN WORLD TRADE.
INTERNATIONAL DEALINGS OF
1910 EXCEL PREVIOUS REC?
ORDS.
American Bureau of Statistics Finds
Great Increase In Export and Im?
port Business.
Washington, Dec. 18.?The calen?
dar year 1910 will be the banner year
for the world's international trade
according to the bureau of statistics.
The bureau receives statistics from
practically every country and these
show that both Imports and exports
are considerably greater than In
1909.
Considering the figured that are
now at hand for any part of the cal?
endar year 11*10, the bureau And
that In practically every case the
records show the Imports In 1910 to
be greatly <n excels of any monhtly
average of the year while the exports
are with few exceptions also in ex?
cess of those of 1909.
The bureau has received reports
from 27 countries which cover from
six to 10 months of the calendar year
1910. In all of the 27 countries the
figures of imports show a marked In?
crease in the monthly averages as
compared with the corresponding pe?
riod of 1909. The exports also are con?
siderably larger except in the case
of Argentine and Bulgaria.
Considering the countries for which
figures are at hand, the monthly Im?
ports and exports show an Increase of
about nine per cent, as compared
with the corresponding month of last
year and It is believed the world's
International commerce for 1910
probably will show exports valued at
between 14 and 15 billion dolars.
Francis W. Hirst, editor of the
London Ecanomist, in a speech made
Friday night before the American So
cley for the settlement of internation?
al disputes stated that war scares
were all largely created by armament
contractors, who for their own bene?
fit would finally succeed in dragging
the various countries which 'were now
building such Mg navies into bank?
