Tuesday, January 29, 1929 A Good Divorce Law The first good divorce law passed in our State in a decade is now about to become a law. It makes involuntary separation, by being sent 16 the |>eniten tiary, for a term of five years grounds for divorce. It has been possible for married people who chose to, to separate for five years and procure a divorce, and many separations came for no other purpose. Yet if a married man or woman committed a felonious crime and was sent pj piuotHor life, it was not ground for the othtT-trT procure divorce. Now, if a husband or any crime and is convicted and sen tenced to prison for more than 5 years, it is ground upon which the other party may procure divorce. No man or woman should be tied Jar,.lift to an im prisoned criminal. y /, United Effort Needed Will Williamston pave, or continue to muddle, is the question which the people are sometimes talking about now. Most of the folks are strong for paving, but they are not saying anything, they are just talk ing. If those favoring paving will put half their talk in to work, the proposal will go over with a whoop It may cost something, but it will be worth all and more than the cost. It will be an investment that will last for ages , Representative McLean's Bill A. I). McLean, the representative from Beaufort County, has introduced the most important and the best bill that has come before the North Carolina legislature for many sessions. It calls for a uniform State-wide eight-months sthooi term, which is the only hope for our democracy be cause no democracy can live when some are trained and others are untrained. No community can prosper when it has to depend on some other community to do its thinking. Any business that a man may have that requires nothing but labor can not prosper. It is the thinking business that thrives. Those who are fighting the proposed eight-months school term claim that the child on the farm and in the factory must work to produce the family living This is untrue, because we are overproducing and breaking the markets on cotton, tobacco, peanuts, and cotton goods, all because we are raising and producing such quantities with child labor. t The bill should be passed because the State is re sponsible for its citizenship, and it should educate all alike, because it guarantees each citizen the right to trade with every other citizen on an equal basis. Then it has no right to give one the long end of the yoke and the other the short end, by giving one a six and the other an eight months school. The cost will, of course, be one of the things to consider, and of course it will cost more to run an eight-months school than- it does a six-months school, but when we consider that we now have an eight months term in three-fourths of the State, we will see ihat the aggregate increase will be small for the State at large, while it will be less in most counties than it now is. Tbe proposed bill taxes the property of the State 5 V. Metal Rotifing MAKE YOUR REPAIRS NOW, BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO WORK THE SOIL. OUR PRICE IS THE BEST IF YOU PAY CASH. * * S Culpepper Hardware Co. WILLIAMSTON * grttPtpn Elisabeth City uniformly 40 cents on each SIOO property valuation, which Is 19 cents less than Martin County is now paying. This would be a considerable saving on a valuation of $15,000,000. " TV difference -would be taken care of by the posed $10,000,000 equalization fund, which is to come from the wealth o/.,the country. Here comes the tug'-of-war, because many wealthy people are unwilling to pay taxes to educate poor peo ple and will do what they can to prevent increasing the equalization fund. This is wrong in principle, be cause no man is entitled to prosper on the ignorance of his neighbor. Yet there are still a few who tl.ink that all the education the other felloW needs is enough to write and sign mortgages. If the proposition fails, it will be because the few wealthy people fight it because they do not like to help pay for it. joined with who are too ignor ant to know they need it. Now is the time for our North Carolina citizenship to stop bragging and go into a real fight for redemp tion from that awful enemy—illiteracy. Fair Election Law Needed Why should the legislature hesitate to pifes the pro posed Australian ballot law? Is there a fear in the would-be office holder that the propsed law would not permit him to get, the full vote of all his friends? Or is the real trouble because somebody hopes to count on the other fellow s friends? So far as we know, no one denies that the proposed bill gives every elector the free opportunity to vote as they wish without fear or favor. Can any party hope to live with an intelligent elec torate without providing a fair system by which that electorate may express itself? Now is the time for our pass a fair election law, and we have no right to go to the voters with any other but a fair and just law. Why Money Is Scarce A few folks are complaining about all the money being gone. Of course, that is an old and a common thing with' many of us. One of the reasons that there seems to lie so little money stirring is that the South is sending all its mon ey to New York for the gamblers. Most of the South ern banks are carrying big balances with fheir New York correspondents, who in turn aif loaning it out at high interest rates for stock speculators to 1 use. When New York gamblers are paying a much higher rate than merchants and farmers can pay, it naturally makes business a little tight here. The stock folks are doing exactly the same foolish thing the farmers ;md land buyers did just ten years ago. When they got their property too high, they borrowed money, so much it broke many |jeopl\ Stocks may go too high and somebody else will go broke, too, especially if they borrow money to buy them. , Paper From Cornstalks What is said to have lieen the first edition of any newspaper in the world to be printed on paper made from corn stalks was issued by the Commercial-News, of Danville, 111., one day last month. And it was an edition of 116 pages at that, using 25 tons of news- print. , The paper was produced in Danville by the Corn Products Company, which has expended $750,000 in the erection of a plant and research laboratory. The process employed is based on that originated by Df Bela Borner, a Hungarian, with suitable modifications, resulting from the labors of Dr. J. E. Jackson, an American industrial chemist. While further research and experiments will be nec essary to bring production of cornstalk paper to the level of that from wood pulp in cost, the technical problems have been practically solved and fear of a future pa|*r famin? through depletion of forests has been eliminated. How this new industry will benefit farmers of the corn belt is forecast by one of the men interested in the new process, who said: "We can visualize in the years to come innumer able small pulp mills scattered throughout the corn belt making pulp ftom cornstalks grown on million? of acres now non-producing " Commenting on the matter, Secretary Jardine de clared that with the rapid progress being made in technical and commercial procedures a new day is at hand when many agricultural wastes will become sources of profit, not only to the farmer, but to the country at large.
