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.

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.
