-SECTION TWO. PAGE TWO This is the Law By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bar Association) Annulment of Marriage What is the difference between an annulment and a divorce? An annulment is a judicial pro nouncement of a court that the supposed marriage does not exist and that the usual legal incidents of the marriage status have never occurred. A woman who has had her marriage annulled can truth fully and legally say that she has, never been married. It is other wise if the woman has had her marriage terminated by a divorce decree. Generally speaking, the grounds j for annulment are concerned with 1 either the invalidity of the ma-ri age ceremony or the incapacity of the parties at the time of the mar riage ceremony. The grounds for divorce, on the other hand, are us ually marital offenses committed after the marriage ceremony, such as adultery, cruelty, desertian or separation for the statutory period.

Chilean is a natural combination of nitrate nitrogen, sodium and minor elements. . and you'll choose CHILEAN NITRATE OF SODA One hundred years of consistently satisfactory experience with Chilean Nitrate of Soda have demonstrated that there is nothing to compare with it for side-dressing corn, cotton and other summer crops. It is a rare, natural combination of nitrate nitrogen, sodium and minor elements. Where the soil is too acid; where potash is deficient or where the supply of available phosphate is low; where the crop needs quick help; or where one or more of the minor elements is lacking, Natural Chilean Soda has no equal among nitrogen fertilizers. The side-dressing effectiveness of any nitrogen fertilizer depends very largely on its content of nitrate nitrogen. The nitrogen content of Chilean Soda is 100 per cent nitrate nitrogen and this, together with its rich sodium content and minor elements, accounts for its remarkable efficiency and consistently superior performance in the field. Sodium adds a great deal of extra value to the product. It destroys •oil acidity, substitutes for potash arid calcium when necessary, in creases the supply of available phosphate, and helps the plant gain the utmost benefit from the nitrogen. In addition, Chilean Soda con tains small amounts of needed minor elements which help to protect against hidden plant-food deficiencies. _ If you have any question about your nitrogen /P; ’ aide-dressing for corn, we urge you to use Chilean MjiJiMfEl Jj Nitrate, if only in a small way to begin with, so 4 w that you can see the difference for yourself.

A wife may, under certain i conditions, obtain irom her hus band alimony or money for her support subsequent to a divoree. The children bom of an annulled marriage are rendered illegitimate unless their legitimacy is saved by a statute. This is the law Li most states. A statute enacted in North Carolina in 1951 provides that a child bom of any marriage other than an interracial marriage is le . gitimate notwithstanding the an j nulment of the marriage. , In all states a divorce does not terminate the relationship of par ent and child. A divorce merely dissolves the relationship between husband and \rife. An absolute divorce is a decree of court dissolving a valid and ex isting marriage. All of the legal ' incidents of a valid marriage are I deemed to have existed up to the date of the divorce decree. The grounds for both annulment and divorce vary in the different states. Occasionally the same, ground may exist for either an an nulment or a divorce. In North Carolina, for example, physical im potency (lack of capacity for sex- I ual intercourse) at the time of the marriage is a ground for either annulment or divorce. There are far more divorces than , annulments. ' What are the grounds for the an nulment of a marriage in North Carolina? Briefly stated, the marriages that may be annulled in North Car olina are: (1) interracial marri ages, (2) marriages between any two persons nearer of kin that first cousins, (3) marriages in which one of’the parties is less than six teen years of age, (4) bigamous ! marriages, (5) marriages in which THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENtON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, MAY-2, »57. either party at the time is physi cally impotent, (6) marriages in which one of the parties is incapa ble for want of wiU or understand ing, and (7) under certain condi tions, where the marriage was en tered into on a false representation that the woman was pregnant. North Carolina forbids the mar riage of double first cousins, but marriages between first cousins are valid. V * How does one go about obtain ing an annulment of a marriage ? The procedure for an annulment is the same as in an action for di vorce An attorney must be em ployed to draft the necessary legal documents and to conduct the trial. r ' ( Vets’ Question Boxj Q —l have been drawing monthly compensation payments from VA, based on the service-connected death of my husband, a World War I veteran. If I get a job to sup- j plement my income, will my com-; pensation payments be stopped ? A—No. Death compensation! payments, based on the service-! connected death of a veteran, are! not affected by your income. The i income “ceilings” apply only toj death pensions for the nonservice-' connected death of a veteran. Q —l have a Korean GI term in surance policy. Will I get divi dends on this policy? A—No. Under the law, Korean GI insurance is non-participating; it does not pay dividends. How ever, your premiums are lower | than the premiums for GI policies ) that do pay dividends.
