Squire's Wife Performs Unlicensed South Carolina Marriages
In Stewarttown near the North Carolina border a magistrate named Wade Bailes bills NC licenses for marriages while his wife, acting in his absence, performs weddings across the state line in South Carolina without a license. A couple was wed secretly by the wife, then later the girl's father arranged a formal religious ceremony. Mrs Bailes has been warned to stop, but the incident raises questions about licensing and jurisdiction.
