She Striate Judiciary Committee
last afternoon had a stirring de-
bate on the divorce question and
it arose over the bill by Senator
Henderson, which grants a wife
alimony even if an absolute di-
vorse is ebtained. Thobill won
bv a score of five to fuor.
Mr. Henderson thinks this is a
step towards an equitable solution
of the divorce evil in the light of I
Christ iati civilization. The bill
encountered strong opposition,
Senator Woodard contending that
granting alimony when she had
obtained absolute divorce would
be encoui aging some women to be
lax towards their husbands and
increase divorces. Mr. Ward op-
posed it vigorously.
After much discussion the com-
mittee decided bjf a vote of 5 to 4)
to report the bill favorably. Those
supporting the bill were Senators
Henderson. Vann, London, Mor-
nson and Warren, and those
against it were Senators Woodard,
Ward, Webb and Foushee.
Tho bill will now be fought out
on the lloor of the Senate. This
w w
is a most important measure aff-
ects society, and is a departure
from common law,aud its full text
isas follows:
An Act to allow Alimony in cases
-
of Divorce a Vinculo Matri-
monn:
Whereas, at common law where
a divorce a vinculo, matrimonii
was granted, no allowance for the
future support of the wice was giv
e ), and,
WiiiTi'MS, ih. ntntsite in this
State has changed the
commou
law in that re6pect, and,
Whereas, thn Legislatures of
many of tie States of the union
have nd.pted statute? changing
the common law in this respect,
and allowing alimony to the wife
in casss of absolute divorce; which
policy seems to be just to the wife
and. in harmony with our advanc
ed civilization ; .
Therefore,
The Ceneral Assmbly of North
Carolina do enact: -
Section 1. That where a di
vorce a vinculo matrimonii is
granted, the wife may be allowed
such limony, in solido, or in in
stalments, as the court granting
the divorce shall deem just and
proper; considering the estate of
the divorced husband and his
means of paying the same; Pro
vided. That when alimony is
granted in solido it sball not ex
ceed on:-thirdof the husbands estate-
And when the allowance is
to be paid in installments, it shall
not exceed o e-third of the reason
able income and earnings from
his estate labor and employment.
Section 2. That the court
grafting sucb divorce, shall have
tin power to make provision for
the custody of any child or cbil
dre the said husband and wife
may have, and shall also have the
power to provide for the support
of such child or children out of
the estate, income and -earnings
of sa d father as shall be reasona
ble and just.
Stction 3 That ill laws and
clauses of law in conflict with this
act are htreb repealed
Sect tod - 4. That this Act snail
be in force from and after its rati
ticstion. A LtQfi-rj Agencj at Spencer-
Messrs. Dr. J. S. Bryan and J.
C. Henley, of Spencer, have be
come agents for the Leon SteamJ
Laundry, of Charlotte. A basket
will be left at Dr. Bryan's drug
tort to receive all kinds of wash
able frabrics. where also orders
can be left to call for and deliver
articles. Basket will be shipped
Wednesdays and returned on Fri-
days. Orders may also be left at
J. C. Henley'i publes.

Washington J Jin. 83. A.pirited
incident :-ocea
in the senate
this afternoon when th legislative
bill was taken tip.
Mr Rawlins, of Utah, read a
Dswspaprr article saying there was
combination formed in the Utah
legislature to elect a Mr Kearns
senator, and that it was being for-
warded by the Mormon church
which was now working with the
Republican party
'
He intimated that the church
had received certain prmises from
the Republicans, relative to the
nractice of nolveamv and he said
he thought aVoice should go out
. ... .
from wasninexon in conaemna-
tion of the program.
Mr Hale; of Maine, replied to
Mr Rawlins vigorously. Mr Hale
said there ought not to be any ex-
nrpsainn of frifl United States
genate upon a matter ,ike a sena-
torial election. It was highly im
proper to send a "voice from
Washington," while a legislature
was performing its constitutional
duty.
It was paternalism of the worst
sort.
Mr. Chandler also took occasion
to say that he was of the opinon
that the action of Mr. Rawlins
was not in good taste and that the
senate should not attempt to in
fluence a state legislature.
In reply Mr. Rawlins charac
terized the action of the legisla
tura of New Hampshire, where
Mr. Chandr was defeated, and
said the result was, according to
Mr. Chandler's statement, brought
about by combinations similar to
those proposed in Utah.
Mr. Chandler smilingly retor
ted that while the result in New
Hampshire was greatly to be de-
plored and the methods of the late
senatorial election In -that state
to be candemnedr yet it would
have been ery bad taste if his
colleague. r. Gallingor. hnd
- - - - n w
made a nrotest while the elt.ci
was going on.
This allusion, owing to the well
known differences existing betwen
the New Hampshire ssnators.
raised a laugh among senators and
the galleries.
