HOAR OX THE SOUTH. TO CHECK DRUNKENESS. Senator Pliarr's Demurrage Bill Weiit Through Practically Without Opposition Other Bills Passed. Raleigh News-Observer, March 3. The Divorce bill was passed by the House yesterday, but not without a rather warm discussion. It was strongly opposed on the floor by General Davidson, Judge Graham, Mr. Smith and Mr. Off man. 1 Those who snoke for the hill Mr. Murphey, Mr. Guion, Mr. New land and Mr. Self. The bill is a substitute drawn by Mr. Self for the several divorce bills introduced this session. It secured a favorable report from the Judiciary committee after a hard fight. It provides that: "If the husband shall willfully and without cause abandon the wife and live separate and apart from her for two years, the wife shall be entitled to divorce from the bonds of matri mony, but the husband shall not re marry within five years from the date of rendering final judgment in the action for divorce," and vice versa in the case of the wife. The following provision is added: "That in all actions for divorce upon the grounds above mentioned, it shall be alleged and proven upon the trial, that the complainant has been a bona fide resident of the State of North Carolina for five years next preceding the commencement of the action; and provided, further, tjiat after the jury may have found the issue or issues in favor of the plain tiff, it shall be the duiy of the judge presiding at the trial, to carefully in quire into the facts and circumstances An Extract of His Chicago Speech That Touches Race Conditions. Jr. n,Ul. 1 J1 l j.u i3 wiiii pleasure mat we give space to the following words of the ujsunguisnea senior Senator of Massachusetts, in his speech before the Union League Club, of Chicago, taken from the Washington Post These utterances, coming from Sen ator ioar, who lias given more than a quarter of a century of his life to Public Matters, with his ripe exper ience as a statesman added to his great learning makes it the greater compliment, and the Aegus can as sure him that it is thoroughly appre ciated by all the Southern people. Not only does he apply his own lan guage in the praise of the Southern people, but he very appropriately calls to his aid the beautiful words of Ruth to Naomi. May great bless ings attend the venerable Senator.

Coming from a Massachusetts -man, highly honored by the country, the follow ing words have unusual significance: ' "I know how sensitive our South ern friends are on this matter of so cial equality and companionship, and I think I might say fairly and prop erly and that it is not wise for the people of North to undertake to deal rashly or even to judge hastily of a feeling so deeply implanted in their bosoms. Thoughtful Men In All Civilized Lands Are Now Turning Their Serious Attention to This Cause. Atlanta Journal. The question of methods for check ing the spread of drunkenness is one to which thoughtful men in all civ ilized lands are now turning their serious attention.
