Special to Tha Tribune. - . r
Baleigh, N. C, February 10, 1911.
Every. session of the General As
sembly , of recent peers thetne has
been more or less excitement Created
orer attempts that are regnlarly made
to -change the existing stringent di
vorce law of the State.
A few days ago the House .passed a
bill placing tha man on Che same
equality in the proving of a single act
of aduXery as that applying to the
woman, and aa that was tightening
the bonds there was not registered
the usual protests from minister and
others who have figured as opponents
01 any change in the present law
.Now, however, the kick baa eorae
and and it is a vigorous one " from
that element, beacuse of the passage
tn the House on the second readme
ttiis week of the Roberts bill reducing
the time couples living apart contin
uously shall be entitled to 'divorce
from ten to Ave years. . Consequently
there is the liveliest sort of fight on
and the Senate is commanded to kill
the bili when it reaches that body. At
this writing it looks like the flood of
oratory that is booked to be turned
loose on the. subject will surpass even
that of several other sessions in re
cent years. .
Taxing Owners of Property on Premi
ums la Companies Outside the State..
Another bill which this week passed
the House sifter a hard fight, is due to
run against a snag in a few days
when it is taken up in the Senate,
namely the committee substitute for
the Turlington Insurance bill. This
measure requires owners of property
who shall choose to place policies on
rneir property in companies who are
not licensed to do business in North
Carolina (by sending premiums to the
offices of the companies or to. agents
in other states), to notify the Com
missioner of Insurance that they have
done so and to pay to the Insurance
Commissioner a tax of five per cent.
on the premiums so paid. The penalty
is a fine of fifty to two hundred and
fifty dollars for violations. ;
It was argued by the-opponents of
the bill that it would tend to compel
property owners to. patronize Hho
i woecner tney so willed or not
.... .. ...
The
margin by which it passed the House
was small,
The newspapers of the State have
been- commenting on the alow pro
gress of the rucus among the fire in
surance companies and. their agents
agents which the Koonee bill threat
ened at the very beginning of the ses
sion. It seems on investigation, that
the proposed inquiry . is not dead but
simply sleepeth (for the time beinga
state or affairs partly due to the fact
that Mr. Koonee has been ill for two
or three weeks (but is now ajrain in
his seat, and that the committee in
charge of his bill appointed a sub-com
mittee to inquire if such an invetiga-
tion as the bill commands is neeessarv
or. advisable, and the latter has not
yet made up its imind definitely, on
the subject. It is regarded in some
quarters aa a very rigid sort of pro
ceedtng that is proposed and tha ten
dency seems to be to moderate it at
least before finally reporting it back
wirn a reconunendauoin. -
Legislative Live Points.
- During the debate in the Senate on
the Boyd en bill providimr fo a mew
State Administration Building .i was
very evident that,, although it was
deemed proper by its author to first
have the bill go before the appropria
tions committee, although it had an
unanimous report from the committee
on public buildings'and grounds), the
sentiment of the Senate was entirely
ravoraoiy towards the proposition, the
only points of divergence being the
amount to be so expended and the
modus operandi of securing the neces
sary funds. But a bond issue is the
only practical method and it will be
authorized later. ' ., v, ,
now me ssenate . and mouse are
holding (frequent night sessions this
week earlier than usual in tha ses
sionsand a great deal of work wUl
be crowded into the remainder of the
present session of the Legislature.
Tha near-beer bill whinh naftsed th
House will be materially amended as
it leavea true senate and must
back for concurrence. Tha chances
are enieny made as to tha per cent,
auowed in sales or certain medicines,

Since Dr. MeCormack 'a sreat ad.

it is not only the purpose to get the
city clean but keep it clean and sani
tary.

Toang Man from Tennessee Marries
i Miss Easterly la Salisbury, After
Experieacing Much Difficulty in
! Eeacriag thai Ottr.
A marriage that was intermingled
with romance aad . unusual circum
stance waa solemnized in the ladies
reception room of the 6onthern Bail-
way passenger station in Salisbury
Thursday night, a few minutes before
train No. 35 on the Western road left
Salisbury. Miss Brutus Easterly, a
musie student at Mont Amoena Semi
nary, Mount Pleasant, and Mr. B. D.
Caton, of Newport, Tenn, were the
contracting partes. ;
Mas Easterly left Concord yester
day morning for Salisbury where she
and the groom had arranged to meet
ahd be married. Bnt when she arriv
ed there the groom was not to be
found but th fact that be was not on
the spot was no fault of big own, as
he was several miles away eon tending
with the cruel incka of an unkind
fate, at which many a man would have
given up in despair. While making
the trip on the western train from
Newport, and just after he arrived at
Barber Junction he discovered that
his money was gone. He at once be
gan, a strenuous search and while so
engaged 'the train for Salisbury pull
ed away.- While this was transpiring
the bride-elect was waiting in Salis
bury without a word from the man
she had gone to meet and wed. Luck,
however, was about due to "come
back" and come back it did, as he
succeeded in recovering $30 of his
money,, and immediately began to
continue his journey, but in a manner
altogether different from the usual
mede of transportation. Another ob
stacle arose to increase the number
he" had already encountered as upon
an investigation he found that the
last train to Salisbury for the day had
gone. Adding this discomfort, is it
any wonder that he did not abandon
all efforts and let his hope die in an-
guisht But not so with this gallant
young swain from the hills of Ten
nessee, who, .without a murmer of
C6raplaint, began a cross-tie counting
contest from Barber Junction to Sal
isbury; arriving; at the latter place in
tbVaiernoon, somewhat covered with
mud, and otherwise visibly displaying
the effeds of euch a journey. And
still manifesting an undaunted spirit
he began at once to accomplish what
he set out tq accomplish marry the
girl he came there to marry. ' Little
time was lost in procuring the neces
sary license and in a few minutes -the
young couple were pronounced man
and wife by Rev. Mr. Knhns, tha of
ficiating minister, in the presence of
quite a number of self-invited guests,
two of whom were Concordians. , Im
mediately after the ceremony 'Mr. and
Mrs. 'Caton left for 'their home in
N'ewport, Tenn,
Miss Myrtle Pemberton has gone to
