Child Wives Are Freed Married and freed at the age of 11, an American record for modern times, is the experience of little Dorothy Taylor-Halseii, of the desolate scrub oak district of Seminole County, Okla. Living in a district where nearly all business is done by barter, she w!as "swapped” by her 52-year-old father, Jim Taylor, to their 67 year-old neighbor, J. X Halsell, for the latter’s 14-year-old daughter, Cary. The two men married the two girls and went on a strange honeymoon, whidh ended when Jim Taylor poisoned ihimself. The men were widowers and had \ been taking the girls out of school to replace their mothers in the kit chen. It was a wretched enough fate for the chldren, but not pleas ant, for the menfolk, either, iwiho had to eat their cooking. Although there is some dispute as to which man suggested it, both men agreed they needed wives more than daughters. The fathers felt it not necessary to ask their daugh ters’ consent. The girls; were in formed of the arrangement, and though they protested1 bitterly, the wedding party was begun. They obtained licenses by mis stating the ages of the children and they persuaded a negro minister to marry them by laying a few shiny silver pieces on the table, even though he was suspicious about the age of little Dorothy. me weaoing rugnt was spent in a tourist camp. All four slept in the same bed. The honeymoon ambled on un til one day another rattletrap car appeared, containing Taylor’s three sons and Halsell’s two sons. The youths had been left to run the farms but liked their own cooking even less than that of Cary and Dorothy. An all-night argument ensued, atid the boys refused to go back The next morning Jim Taylor ended the debate, the honeymoon, and his own career by puttng poison' in his coffee. His death fo cused the attention of the authori ties on the case, and Dorothy’s marriage is being annulled. Will Mrs. Besant Be Born Again? Why the Modern .

QUICKER, BETTER RELIEF from use of Black-Draught *'I have taken Black-Draught, off and on when needed, for twenty five years, for it is easy to take,” writes Mr. George T. Wharton, of Petersburg, Va. “I take it for con stipation and when I have that dull, tired feeling. I take it for colds and other complaints where a good laxative is needed, and I believe it gives me quicker and better relief than any other medi cine I know. It certainly has been a help to me.”' P- S. — If you have Children, give them the new, pleasant-t as ting SYRUP of Thedford’s Black-Draught, I STAR LAUNDRY "The Good One” Launderers and Dry Cleaners Phone 24 114 West Bank St. One Day Service E.

In 1839 Parliament voted! $150, 000 for schools in England and at the same session appropriated $300, 000 for "the care of the Queen’s horses.” In 1807, when it was proposed to establish a public school system this <> argument was made and accepted: "Education will teach the lower classes to despise their lot in life instead of making them good serv ants in agriculture and other labor ious employment to which their rank has destined them; instead of teaching them- subordination it would rendter them fractious and refractory as was evident- in the manufacturing counties; it would enable them to read seditous pam phlets, vicious books and publica tons against Christianity; it would render them insolent to their superi ors.” In North Carolina in 1933 we are doing better than England did in 1839. We think more of our children than we do our horses, but do we think as much of them as we doi of roads and automobiles? In the past year we spent $16, 700,000 of State fund's on roads. We spent $10,000,000 for new au tomobiles. We spent about $3 0, 000,000, not including the tax which is included in the expendi ture for roads above, for gasoline. For accessories, tires, repairs, over $10,000,000. Altogether costs for our horses (automobiles) were in the year over $56,700,000. How about the amount we paid for the education of our children? For the year 1933-34 the Legisla ture provided $1^,000,000 for an eight-months school. It appropri ated $1,129,120 for the University and other colleges. Of course a good sized sum will be spent for private and church schools and col leges but it will not be large in' comparison with the public expen diture. Here is the striking difference: North Carolina "held its horses” to the^tune of $56,700,000. __ North Carolina gives schooling to its children to the tune of $17,129, 120. We are ahead of England in 1839 but we stall spend $39,570, 880 more for transportation (much of it for pleasure) than we do for schooling. "Giddap,” they said in EnglaAd in 1839. "Step on the gas,” is the 1933 like expression. -, Washington in his Farewell Ad dress to the American people said in 1786: "Promote them, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of know ledge. In proportion as the struc turn of government gives force to public opinion^ it is essential that public qpinlion should' be enlight ened.’ The father of his country, a lover of fine horses and a perfect horse man, did not say: "Promote transportaton by horses and other wise.” He placed the highest em phasis upon education as para mount. His admonition ought to be heeded everywhere and particc larly in North Carolina at this time when many North Carolini ans think more about speeding than training the children.
