This country may develop a case somewhat similar to that of Dreyfus. Capt. Carter, an army engineer in charge of government works at Savannah, was charged with stealing over one million dollars by making false estimates and false report. He was tried by court martial and convicted, a very bad case being made against him. Now one of his attorneys comes to fore and charges that his conviction is the result of a conspiracy of army officials and he charges Gen. Otis now in command in the Philippines with perjury and subornation of perjury. Similar charges are made against other high army officials and the affair seems likely to stir up a sensation.

In Jasper county for the year ending Sept. 1,1899, 109 marriage licenses were issued, against 110 for the previous year. During the year 9 divorces, the same number as the proceeding year, were granted, all to the wife. Newton granted 65 license, against 71 in ’9B, and 5 divorces, 2 to wife and 3to husband. Benton granted 130 licenses, against 135 in ’9B, and 13 divorces, 8 to wife and 5 to husband. Of the 92 counties 11 have not reported at this writing, but of those reported, 39 show a loss over 1898, and 42 a gain, Vigo showing the greatest loss, 192, and Marion the greatest gain, 336. In Deleware county 564 marriage licenses were issued and 129 divorces granted, while in Marion with 2,250 licenses issued, only 78 divorces were granted. But in 1898 Marion granted 1,914 licenses and 314 divorces, while Deleware granted 4824icenses and 99 divorces.
