BRIDEGROOM. 17. TAKEN
INTO COURT; ROMANCE
NOT SPOILED BY FINE.
Recorder Stewart in a Beaufort
County court has fined Albert Jones
for obtaining a marriage license
under false pfetense. But Jones' mar
riage to his 11-year-old bride, who
was Miss Lucy Hodges, will stand
and there is every opportunity for the
couple to live happily ever after. Ac
cording to the evidence the then Miss
Hodges wrote a letter and signed her
foster parents' name to it, giving their
permission to her marriage to the
17-year-old Albert. She mailed the
letter to Jones, and he went forth
with to the register of deeds. The li
cense, was procured and the marriage
performed. The bridegroom's arrest
followed. It developed that the young
couple's love was deep and the judge
declined to spoil the pretty romance.
The bridegroom was assessed the
small fine, made to pay the costs sind
released to go out and receive con
gratulations. CARPENTIER LANDS

Work Health Experts
(By the United Press)
Washington, - May 10. An Inten
sive study of stream pollution with
pecial regard to the establishment of
a general plan by which any polluted
stream in the United States might
be purified at a minimum expense
has been begun by the United States
Public Health Service.
As is will known, a polluted stream
tends to purify itself, but its power
in this direction depends on the
amount and character of tire original
pollution, on the volume and .speed
of the current, and on the extent to
which new pollution is added along
ist course.
The service has selected for study
the Chicago main drainage channel
and the Illinois River (which empties
into the Mississippi), chiefly because
all the , primary pollution, of this
stream originates in Chicago and is
accurately ascertainable, both as to
amount and character.

rison Says Calls for Par

Are Too, Frequent
By MAX ABFRNEITIV
(Special Capital Correspondent)
Raleigh, May Hi. The p. day of
the Adjutant-General's del-ailment in
connection w.'li the vei ls . e;iven by
a Davidson County jury l ist wei k of
.o(l damages against ( oi. .1. T. Card
ner of Shcihv, former Nati.oial Guard
officer, will pr.diably be made known
today with tile return to the capita'
of Gen. John Van 15. Met I-, ie olive
head of the department.
Reports reaching the . apttal and
the Adjutant-General's ofice in II
cate that Colonel Gardner wdi lake
the ease on appeal to tin Supreme
Court. There is nothing of:' . i:J, bow
ever, at ihe department untd ,dju
t an! -( leMera; Mi'ts goe, into the ease
and i oiiioiunieates with C ootid Gard
ner. The office is vitally inieie-ted
in the suit, which is rather novel to
North Carolina.
James li. Allen, a former private in
the army, brought suit for dam igcs
against Colonel Gardner .follow ini: his
airest on the streets of Charlotte in
May lit, BUS. the National Guard of
ficer ordering his confinement in the
city jail there overnight. Colonel
Gardner at the time was on duty at
Charlotte in command of in guard
companies, sent there by the A I-jutant-Genrrnl
to participate in a ii
rade, the occasion being a 2)th of
.May celebration. President Wilson
was tiie outstanding attraction. On
the night in question a disturbance
between soldiers and negroc- at a car
nival brought the order from Colonel
Gardner to (bar the street-.
The guardsmen on the streets do
ing guard duty encountered young Al
ien, who was the;) in uniform bui who
insisti d that he had nini leted his
enlistment in the United States army
and that he was not a member of tin
National Guard. His explanation ap
parently was not satisfying. Tin
oialer was issued for bis arrest and
he spent the night in the Gharlott.
jail.
Returning to Lexington, his home,
the suit for damages was brought. The
Davidson County jury last week de
cided that the .Voting man should be
recompensed, and Colonel Garduei
must pay $11011 plus court costs and
attorney's fees.
That the Adjutant-General's depart
ment is backing the defense is n
borne out bv investigation here. On
appeal it is more than probable that
Adjutant-General Melts may intere-a
himself in the ca'-e and i sk Attorney-
Gcncr.il James S. Manning to appear
hefoie the Supreme Court for the
former guard office. Snine announce
ment from the Adjutant-General is
looked for today.
Vi iiny Requests lor Pardons.
Governor Morrison, reading many
applications for pardon.-, daily, is -con
vinced that something is out ol joint
somewhere , along the line in connec
tion with requests for the return of
citizens to liberty who have been duly
tried and convicted hi the State's
courts.,
The fact that has impressed the
overnor most about applications for
pardons is that friends and attorneys
petition for pardons for prisoners
who have never served a single dav of
heir sentence. To the Governor all
such requests arc groundless and he
is treating them as su. b. The fact
that a man has been tried and con
victed is to the chief ev eutive's mind
some indication that a law has been
violated; he wants to -re the crim
inal and law-breaker pay bis penalty.
Only by refusing requests for par
dons for (prisoners who have never
legun their sentences, Ihe Governor
thinks, can respect for the State's
laws, its courts .and its officers be
maintained.
-egionnaire Censors.
North Carolina posts of the Ameri
an Legion are being a.-ked by the
War Department to censor the "slack-
r list wni.ii will tic sent to the
papers lor publication.
Because of many erroneous entries
on the list, or that portion of it al
ready released for publication in-some
sections of the country, the War De
partment is calling upon the legion to
aid in preventing the names of men
who actually served in the army or
navy from appearing along with those
who were "slackers." Draft boards
are charged with the errors in some
states.
Announcement that the list was go
ing to be published in the State's
papers has. brought many letters to
the Adjutant-General's department
with requests that in the event their
names appear on the list they be per
mitted to "explain their record." The
Adjutant-General, of course, has noth
ing whatever to do with the lists. The
War Department at Washington has.

been written for a distinct purp.i.-e.
The book of Acts alone, he said, told
clearly what man must do to be s;rv
ed and were it. to be destroyed along
with the knowledge of its teachings
that man had acquired, there would
be nothing whereby man could get an
answer to the important question. He
said, however, that he had heard ser
mons on the subject, the text of
which had been taken from the Old
Testament.
Dr. Downey has been coming t"

are conducting evangelistic services
under a tent on North Independence
Street: "I have known Evangelist.-
Hiram and Lizzie McAdams for sev

personal acquaintance with them I
knew of their work in Texas and Mis
souri and that it was excellent. While
I was pastor at Kinston I visited the
McAdams rtieeting at New Bern, and
know that untold good was accom
plished there hy them. I was in the
meeting. which' .they held at Morehead
City several times and took some part
in the personal work.- At the close of
this meeting I was called as pastor to
the church in Slorchead City, and for
the past two years I have been in a
position to appreciate to the highest
extent the untiring efforts nuade by
the evangelists. Fires of religion, of
the sacrificing kind, were kindled
here which in my opinion will never
go out." .

"Big Kill's" disappearance created
great interest in America when it
was revealed by the federal author
ities at Chicago several weeks ago.
Since his arrival in Russia the I. W.
V. boss has been lionized by the
Beds and has been taken into the
high councils of the Bolshevik gov
ernment. Haywood is accused by his
fellows in the United States of hav
ing carried off a large part of their
defense fund moneys.
Haywood's presence in Moscow and
at other Russian cities has occasion
ed some speculation as to what po
lilical objects he might have aside
from the practical one of escaping
from a long prison sentence in the
United States. His unpopularity with
I'ber I. W. W. men in America is
assumed to mean that his "visit" to
Russia carries no significance to
them other than that he has "play
