MANY DIVORCES ARE FOUND ILLEGAL Asheville — —One hundred and thirty-two divorces were granted in Buncombe county since 1900, and on the strength of which many of the persons have married again, are in valid and technically without stand ingf ASy»* of1'the■ law, it 4m disclosed Saturday in records of the Superior Court. The invalidity of these divorces arises from non-payment of court costs in the cases. Under the laws of North Carolina a divorce decree is not in effect until all costs have been paid. This law holds even in cases where the court has decided in favor of granting a divorce and the judgment has been signed by the pre y-residing judge, for the bill of costs must be satisfied in full before the verdict of the jury or the decree of the judge legally becomes affective and valid. In the 132 invalid divorces on file in the office of the clerk of Buncombe Superior Court, the fault in the fail ure to pay costs and make the di vorce effective has sometimes been c>r» the part of the attorneys and ,sometime on the part of the parties in the case. The non-payment some times has been the result of neglect end sometimes of ignorance, depu ties in the clerk's office explained ou luruaj . Regardless of why the Costs in the 132 invalid Buncombe divorces were not paid, persons involved who have remarried are technically and legally if not morally, guilty of bigamy. Mirny “bigamists” unaware of their predicament, are living in Buncombe county, the records indicated. The situation is at once ridiculous and se rious because although the unwitting bigamist,undoubtedly had no intention of violating the law, they technically are liable to indictment should any cne want them indicted. Some of them are dead and some have grown children. Of course, all these persons whose divorces are mere counterfeits have ; not remarried but should they de- j sire to do so they might be embar- | rassed by being confronted with the announcement that they are not di vored, however ^much they might think so. (There are parties in Lee conuty who have obtained divorces but the costs remain unpaid. According to ivbat is said above, they are not le gally divorced and without a legal iivorce thev cannot legally "marry again, should thev wish to do so.— Express.) PARKER WARNING TOBACCO FARMERS ABOUT NEXT CROP .Lee county tobacco growers who ire now turning their thoughts to ward tobacco seed beds for the 192b ’•on. will perhaps be interested iti he comment of Frank Parker, agn :u Rural statistician of the crop re >orting service of the State and •'tderal Department of Agriculture, on last yetufa trap Mr. Parker'J warns of the danger of over produc tion in the following manner: *The tvbacco 'crop record has been broken for the bright leaf type. North Carolina did the deed this sea son with the probable production of ever 406,000,000 pounds. The rig-' arette cf*>p probably also made a rec OIQ. At an average price of 23 cents, the crop brought to the farmers over $111,000,000 or about $1200 to the rverage of 79,’000 tobacco farm own ers. “With an average yield of 720 pounds of leaf tobacco for the past season, the return was $105 per acre. This compares' with about $51 for cotton. This tells the story of why Georgia has gone tobacco crazy. It also tells why the farmers from Vir ginia to Florida will put in a greater record crop in 1928. That they will be disappointed in the price received is easily anticipated. The supply will probably be greater than the de mand. “Kentucky twice made more tobac co than North Carolina has just dis posed of. The record year was 512, 000,000 pounds in 1014. It was in I 1020 when North Carolina went bust ed, with 433,000,000 pounds—the rec ord until now. "the Tar Heel’s crop is now about twice that of Kentucky. “That there were several markets that sold twice as much tobacco as daring the preening season is sig mficant. Five markets sold more than 35,000,000 pounds. Winston Salem, Oxford and Henderson of the . old belt made, notable increases in their sales. Tarboro, Rocky Mount ’ and Greenville made the largest in creases in the new belt excepting markets closed in January.” LOWER PRICES SECURED ON SCHOOL BOOKS Only in two 'subject* are the adopt ed public school books changed for the 1928-1929 school year. These are the Healthy Living series and the language series, some four or five books in all, scattered over several grades. In families where there are sever al childm in school the practice of handing books down from one child to another amounts to a considerable saving. For the most part this can be continued next year, it is point ed out, since only a small per cent of the total number of books have been changed by the State department of Education. Below will be found a list of the newly adoptedwbook s and prices, as reprinted frdra'a story sent out from Raleigh. Small reductions are made in most of these prices from the adopted price#? formerly prevailing. However, a goodly number of these reductions vre i*|J^ actomlfy In- «# feet, it is pointed out, as some re cuctions were agreed upon several months ago. The State Board of Education Thursday announced a list of 57 books adopted by it at reduced prices lor school children of the State. The hooks will be used for from cne to fitfce year periods. The lan guage and health are the only ones to be used for five years. They were newly adopted . Of the 57 books adopted, all but eight may be bought at a cheaper contract retail price than the retail price of August 1, 1926, or before the adoption. One new feature in all the con tracts for distribution of elemantary books is the provision that county and city boards of education may purchase the books direct from the publishers at wholesale price, f.o.b., tht publisher’s nearest point or points of shipment. “This makes it both possible and feasible for such bodies to set up their own depositories.” Superin tendent A- T. Allen, of Public Instuc tion, member of the board, said. “They will also be at liberty to sell the books to the patrons at cost by absorbing in the school budget the handling -charges. Or, if they pro fer, they may retain the retail profits to cover the cost of distribution. It is within the power of the local boards to make a considerable reduc tion to the patrons by absorbing the cost of local distribution.” Mr. Allen said the prices obtained arc as low as the prices in any oth er state except in cases where boards of education absorb the local distn bution charges. He added that the State Board made every effort known to it to secure the lowest possible retail prices to the children, and that it was found that a better price could be obtained from a majority of the companies on a retail basis through a central depository. The following books were adopted, contracts signed, at these prices: Arithmetic, First Journeys in Num berland .4T»; School Arithmetic .50 « and .59: History .74, 1.05, .07 and .75; language .51 and 58; Geography 1.21 and 1.00; Literature .40, .44, .43 and .53; Child’s World .40, .45. .50 and .55; Studies in Heading .67; .'/0, and .74; Spelling .37, 3i; Music .51), .63. and 60; Hollis Pann Music .06, .45, .52, .02, .87 and 1.04; Science 1.00; Healtli .03 and .61); Civic 1.03; Writing .01), .18, .13 and .19; Drawing .25, .34, and and .19. All the books show reductions from the retail prices of 1926 except arith metic, history of U. S. First and Sec ond Readers and science books which ! 1 prices were the same.
