I am trying to find a marriage record on my father's cousin Mary Jo Wise (born 1901) from Spartanburg SC. According to the obituary of her mother Lillian Wise in the late 1940's Mary Jo Wise was Mrs J R Salley. I have checked the Spartanburg records and they don't find any marriage license applied for by Mary Jo Wise or J R Salley between 1915-1950 . Mary Jo (Wise) Salley was living in Orangeburg SC at the time of her mother's death in the 1940's and was still there in the 1970's when my parents visited her. Does South Carolina have marriage records online? Any help would be appreciated, Larry Wise _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

I come from GA and the shortest way to Spartanburg is through Columbia. Sally

The Greenville County Library is a great source of genealogical information. There is a new library now, just down the street from the old one and it has it's own parking so there should not be any problem getting a place to park. It would certainly be worth a visit to go there.

Friday last Constable HOWARD of this city and a number of officials from Greenville, seven in all, heard of something doing up about the point where George Center's abode is located, and they struck out about sundown, reaching their destination about midnight. After dismounting the party reconnoitered for a few minutes, but all was quiet about CENTER's house and no one was to be seen. Then about 200 feet away the constables found what they were looking for - a big still and twenty fermenters. The party set to work to destroy the still and soon accomplished their task. They also found 2000 gallons of beer and a quantity of low wine which was seized. After completing their work the party started on the journey home. They made no arrests but the raid is regarded as a very important one. $1,000 FIRE AT WOODRUFF Woodruff, Oct. 8-Last Thursday morning about nine o'clock while ginning on the second bale of cotton J.

When the fire was first discovered it was a small blaze, but before the machinery was stopped the fire had flashed over the lint room, through the windows and doors.

Did the Sept. 16 & 23 issues come through? "The Free Lance" Issue: September 30, 1904 CONDUCTOR RAVING MANIAC [edge is cut off, but I can make out most] Asheville, N.C., Sept. 27-Conductor CALDWELL, who was in charge of train No. 15 of the Southern Railway, which crashed into train No. 12 * New Market, Tenn., on the Southern Railway, Saturday morning is a raving maniac. That is the startling information which comes over the wires from Knoxville. The most sensational denouement of the tragedy is that Conductor CALDWELL, who received the train orders which would have saved the collision neglected to give them to Engineer KANE. KANE was killed and CALDWELL escaped. These orders stated that the two trains were to pass at New Market, but they were not obeyed. . . There were no other deaths today, the total list of the dead being 62. The physicians are hopeful that all the injured will be saved. Twelve funerals of wreck victims took place at Knoxville this afternoon. CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING GIRL Matt BLACK, colored, was sent to jail by Magistrate KIRBY Friday on a charge of committing a criminal assault on a fifteen year old Negro girl, Florence McINTYRE. The case was prosecuted by R. H. McGOWAN and C. P. SIMS. The Negro was sent to jail to await trial at sessions court next November. CHARGED WITH ARSON Ben FRANKLIN, colored, has been arrested and is being held on a charge of arson. FRANKLIN is charged with the burning of the barn of Ed WILLIAMS near Woodruff several weeks ago. The Negro was first confined here by Magistrate DEAN and will probably be given a trail at the next term of sessions court. The crime with which the Negro is charged is a serious one and he will probably receive the full sentence allowed by law if convicted. The burning of Mr. WILLIAM's barn excited considerable comment at the time and it was thought from the first that the fire was of incendiary origin. THE DURHAM HOME PLACE SOLD The DURHAM home place on Converse street has been bought by Mrs. John HART, the sale being made by J. W. ALEXANDER and Co.
