TO GET A DIVORCE
THERE.
Providence, R. 1,. June 30. —Hereto,
fore it ha. been nlmo* as easy a

which go into operation Tuesday,
The most important clause in the
now law is that requiring a bona fide
residence in the state of at least two
years before applying for a divorce.

Newport, establishing a so-called res
idence and in a few months obtaining
an annnllment of the marriage con
tract on the ground of non-support.

those interested in the auditorium to
establish a ehautauqun in Brunswick
similar to the one which has begn
so signally successful in Albany and
other cities in the state.

in the matter that it could lie made
a great event in the literary and edu
cational circles, and at an early date
some active stops will he taken along
the line of perfecting the organiza
tion.
The idea is to have a regular enau
taugua meeting each year, with lect
ures, addresses, musical programs
and other attractive exercises.
The auditorium is one of the larg
est in (ho state and is admirably
adapted for just such a purpose, and
it is to be hoped that the'movement
will meet with the success it deserves.

the Great Resort.
Tne attractive rate of the Cumber

Brunswick people Sunday, and some
seventy-five of them spent a very de
lighgtful day at Cumberland.
And in this connection it is not
throwing groat bunches of roses at
"mine host” Jacobi to say that lie is
essentially the right man in the rigid
place. Ho is a splendid entertainer,
awd possesses that happy faculty of
making every one feel that the place
is being conducted for their special
edification.
Tlie table is superior to anything
of the kind Cumberland lias had in
many years. The service is strictly
first-class, while the natural advan
tages of the resort have never shown
up to any better advantage than Is
the case tain season,
class, while the natural advantages of
the resort have never shown up to
any better advantage than is the case
this season.
At present the hotel is comfortably
crowded, and those there have nothing
but praise for the splendid manner in
which the place is being conducted.

Soiiie few oi tin' farmers of Glynn

tensive scale at present, but say that
they will continue to plant a small
amount simply to experiment.
There are others who nave decided
to cultivate It on a large scale and
are making preparations io that end.
The News thinks that alter the
farmers become tnoronghly familiar
with cavassa they will not fail to do-,
vote nearly their entire attention to
it.
it,has been published in a number I
of papers that a number of Chicago *
par king houses would buy tracts of
land in this section and use cavassa as
a -lock food. These people have thor.
ougnly investigated the merits of the
plant for their particular purpose, and
they must have reached the conclu
sion that it is the Best food.

CHANCE FOR THE SOCIETY.
Horsemen Cruel to Their Unfortunate
Animals.
The society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals should lie getting
in some good work, right about now
by prosecuting some of the merciless
horse owners of the city and county.
Some do not seem to be aware of
the fact that a horse with his head
checked a foot or two higher than its
natural position is uncomfortable, es
pecially is this so at tnis season of
the year when a horse should have
the use of his head as well as other
parts of his anatomy.
Another cruel practice is tne hitch,
ing of the unfortunate animals in the
hot, baking sun.

It Will Be Held in Sumter County in
August.
Americas, Ga„ June 30.—The ordi
nary of Sumter will, at an early date,
call an election for local option, to be
held some time in August.
Sumter is supposedly a ”dry’* coun
ty. but the continued sale of whisky
illegally here during the past lew
years renders the supposition a fal
lacy. and the belief is expressed that
the next election will bring about a
change in existing conditions.
The county is infested with blind
tigers, there aaving been twenty-one
indictments for whisky selling at the
recent term of the superior court,
while the total number will probably
run into the hundreds
