THE DIVORCE 'NIL
EPISCOPAL CONVENTION IS
SUES ADDRESS TO
THE PEOPLE.
More Than One Thousand Four
Hundred Divorces Granted
in North Carolina in
the Past Year.
Raleigh News-Observer.
The Episcopal Diocesan conven
tion yesterday adopted the follow
ing resolutions on the divorce evil:
"Whereas, the statistics show that
in North Carolina during the past
year there have been granted by the
courts oi the State more than 1,000
divorces; and,
' Whereas, every divorce granted
in the State for any cause other than
those causes prescribed in The Code
of North Carolina is a blow at the
purity of our social life and the sanc
tity of the marriage relations; and,
"Whereas, the General Assembly
of North Carolina, in each of its ses
sions held in recent years has in
creased the number of causes for
which divoce may be granted, and
has rendered more easy the procure
ment of such separation, and
"Whereas, it is demonstrated by
experience that legislation which
encourages and thereby multiplies
suits for divorce weakens the sanc
tity of marriage, undermines social
and domestic purity, and tends to
the destruction of the best type of
church and State;
"Now, therefore, be it by the pro
testant Episcopal church of the dio
cese of North Carolina, in annual
convention assembled: Resolved,
first, That we do view with alarm
the attack upon social and domestic
virtue that is being made by the
ever increasing number of statutory
causes for divorce in North Carolina.
"Second. That as a church organ
ization we are opposed to granting di
vorce for any cause other than those
prescribed in the code of 1883.
Third. That the Bishop of this
diocese be requested to appoint a
committee of three members, of
which he shall be the chairman, to
be composed of the Bishop, one
clergyman and one layman, to pre
pare and publish an address to the
people of North Carolina, expressing
the sentiment of the members of this
church upon the most vital question;
and that such committe be further
requested to prepare a memorial to
the General Assembly of North Car
olina, urging such legislation as may
be necessary to restore our divorce
laws to their original simplicity.

Only Resin.
According to the best modern au
thorities the so-called amber found
in Syria, India and Madagascar is
not amber at all, but a resin, nearly
allied to opal, which is the product
of leaf-bearing trees growing at the
present day. True amber is the resin
of acicular tree long since extinct,
and there is a good deal of coflict
among scientists as to whi6h geologi
cal period it belongs to.
Life.
The poet's exclamation: "O Life!
I feel thee bounding in my veins,"
is a joyous one. Persons that can
rarely or never make it, in honesty
to themselves, are among the most
unfortunate. They do not live, but
exist; for to live implies more than
to be. To live is tor be well ancf j
i strong to ?rise feeling equal to the'
' ordinary du ies of ihe day, and to re
tire not overcome by them lo feel '
life bounding in the veins. A medi
cine that has made thousands of peo
ple, men and women, well and
strong, has accomplished a great
work, bestowing the ii;he ty.issings,
and that medicine is Hood'9 Sarsapa
rilla. The wek, run-down, or de
bilitated, from any eaue, should not
fail to take it. It builds up the
whole system, changes existence into
life, and makes life more abounding.

SENT TO JAIL
For Sixty Days and Fined $100.00
For Selling Lemon Extracts
As a Beverage.
We notice from the Wilmington
paper, that at the United Slates
Court at Wilmington last week, a
merchant of Robeson county was
tried for selling extract of lemon, to
be used as a beverage. It was a very
intelligent jury that tried the case,
and returned a verdict of guilty. The
merchant was fined $100.00 and sent
to jail for sixty days. The merchant
had beed in business a long time and
proved an excellent character. His
lawyers did their best to get the
Judge to change the judgment to a
fine instead of sending him to jail,
but the Judge refused to do so. Judge
Purnell in his charge to the jury
stated that the selling of malt, ex
tract of lemon and other things of
like character is a plain violation of
the United States law, and people
who sell them as a beverage are
guilty of violating the law, as it is
plain that it is simply a subterfuge to
evade the law.

WHY THEY PUSH IT.
J. H. Hill & Son Recommends and
Aushes Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia
Remedy.
"It's a pleasure to sell a medicine
when our customers come in after
wards and tell us how much good it
has done them," said J. H. Hill &
Son the popular druggists to an
Argus man, "and that is why we
like to sell and recommend Mi-o-na,
the dyspepsia remedy.
"We have so' much faith in this
article that we are going to guaran
tee it in the future, and will return
the money to any purchaser of Mi-o-na
whom it does not cure. That
may seem rash but J. H. Hill &
Son's customers have said so many
good words in its favor that we do
not expect to have many packages
returned.
"Any one who has dyspepsia,
whose food does not digest well, who
has to take thought as to what he can
eat, and when, can leave 50 cents de
posit at J. H. Hill & Son's store and
take home a box of Mi-o-ua and if
the remedy Uoes not regulate hio di
gestion and cure his dyspepsia, he
tan withdraw his mouey ou return
ing the empty box.
This shows great faith in the mer
it of Mi-o-na. It is really a most un
usual medicine and the rapid in
crease in sales since J. H. Hill &
Son introduced it in Goldsboro shows
that it does all that it claims to do,
cures dyspepsia, regulates diges
tion and enables those who use it to
eat just what they want and when
they want with no fear of trouble.
WOMAN'S CLUB COLUMN.
Village Improvement Department
Comments on Our Streets
and Vacant Lots.
Were our streets ever in a more
deplorable condition?
Dirty is not the proper word, nor
is ill-kept; simply not kept at all.
If our worthy Mayor would ride
up and down our streets, he would
be surprised at the amount of filth
waiting to be collected, and it would
be a question for him and his Alder
men to settle, "where will we buy a
plant at once to burn our garbage."
For some of this trash has been out
in the streets so long that a fire is
the only decent remedy for it. Two
or three years ago it was (and still
is) the enforced law for residents to
put out their trash in a suitable re
ceptacle at stated days in the week
and during those days the carts
would collect. It was an admirable
system, well carried out and is still
a law of our town. No one was al
lowed to throw trash in the street,
and one could drive all over town
and not be offended in any way by
sight or smell. What a contrast to
now! To-day, the carts could work
Walnut street from John to Centre
and put in a full day's work.
Attention must be called to the
grass and weeds now" growing in our
streets and if allowed much more
time, some of the streets will be
well-nigh impassable. Again, the
buggies and wagons that fill the once
pretty grass plot lined with what
would be beautiful trees, are a dis
couragement for those who worked,
and are working faithfully for a
"Beautiful City." As to empty lots
they are doubtless beyond the juris
diction of the ordinances, for of what
effect is the fire limit with such
shacks as are up and still going up
on John street next to the Fire En
gine house. These tents are not put
up for beauty, surely, nor do they
improve the moral tone of our city.
The writer feels sure that all the
above nuisances are a direct violation
of the ordinances, and is there no
way to enforce them or to have them
enforced. A penalty for breaking
these ordinances seems to be of no
use with no one to collect.
An office of collector might be
made and the man in charge would
not be asleep for some months. Can
nothing be done toward a Civic Im
provement of our town? The good,
energetic, women of many towns
have taken the matter of clean streets
in hand, when, after much earnest
talk with the officials, these officials
did nothing, and as a result, the
towns have been made clean and are
kept clean.
Our townswomen are ready to
take the reins for clean streets and
with former help andeucouragement
from citizens, officials and residents,
the streets will be clean. Let some
one start this good work and many
will follow.

Not Qualified.
The Hearst activity is steadily
abating. Some have said it is be
cause Mr. Hearst has become sparing
in the expenditure of funds for polit
cal advertising. It is more probable,
however, that the people of the South
and West have learned for them
selves what the people of Mr.
Hearst's own State realized from the
beginning that Mr. Hearst is in no
way qualified to fill the high and re
sponsible position of president.

A REFORMATORY
For Young Criminals ould Be
Great Thing For North
Carolina.
Judge Garland Ferguson is hold
ing a two weeks term of court at
Kinston. The court began yesterday.
There is one capital case to. be tried,
a negro for killing another negro.
Only a few weeks ago a man was
hanged at Kinston for murder. After
all the centuries of experience and
progress, it really seems that the
world is no nearer the solution of the
problem, of what to do with crimi
inals, thjan it was ages and ages ago.
But speaking of criminals, the
Argus hopes that the next Legisla
ture will establish a reformatory for
young criminals.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
"The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away."
The messenger of death has enter
ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
Moore and taken the infant child,
and we stand beside the invisible ea
in which the stieam of every life is

Lord.
Wherefore be it
Resolved: That the members of
Magnolia Camp No. 100, Woodmen
of the world tender to the bereaved
pa rents their sincere sympathy in the
loss sustained; but commend with
heartfelt consolation the following
uttered buy our Savior:
"Suffer little children and forbid
them not to come unto me; for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP,
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure Catarrit
Or Money Refunded by J. H.
Hill & Son.
In addition to breathing Hyomei
three or four times a day through
the inhaler that comes with every
outfit, it is well in the treatment of
catarrh or catarrhal colds to moisten
a piece of flannel with a few drops
of Hyomei, and put it to the night
clothes right under the chin. In this
way, Hyomei will be breathed the
whole night long, curing while you
sleep. In most cases it will break
up a cold over night.
The complete Hyomei outfit, con
sisting of a pocket inhaler, a medi
cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei
costs but one dollar. The inhaler will
last a lifetime, and if more Hyomei
is needed, extra bottles can be ob
tained for fifty cents.
It is the most economical of alt
remedies for the cure of catarrh, and
the only one that follows a natural
method in treating diseases of the
respiratory organs. Physicians ad
vise a change of climate for the cure
of catarrh. With Hyomei, a change
of climate is gained while at home.
Its healing balsams impregnate the
air you breathe, and their health
giving an i germ-destroying powers
go to the most remote air cells of the
respiratory organs.
You take no risk in buying Hyo
mei. J. H. Hill & Son have so much
confidence in its ) power to kill ca
tarrh, grippe, and catarrhal colds,
that .we selL.it under a personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
fails to cure.
