“Obey” In The Marriage Service
Greensboro News.
By changing a word hero and there
but by retaining the entire spirit of
the statement, the views' of the Col
orado bishop in support of the reten
tion of “obey” in the mariage cere
mony are precisely the same as those
of the die hard anti-suffragists. The
entire statement might have been ap
plied with equal force in the North
Carolina legislature when the rem
nants of southern chivmry were de
fending their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor. \
The argument comes down to this:
That the practice is long established
and therefore is right; that the home
must have a boss; and that the boss
ought to be the husband. It probably
makes no particular difference that
the question of a long established
practice has nothing to d;. with a
question of right or wrong—slavery
had a fairly long history und excel
lent authority: that the question of
who is to become boss in the' home
if any, has never yet been settled
and never will be settled by words
in the marriage vow; and that it is
altogether as logical to say that the
wife ought to be boss as io say that
the husband ought to be boss.
| The analogy between the argument
against women suffrage am; the arg
ument here presented with vigor
against doing away with a ridiculous
I practice might be followed at length.
There is no need of it. The word
I: "obey” in the marriage ceremony has
II no form. It baa long since bet-u dis
|j regarded. The only question now is
1 1 whether there is any sense in ask
ing brides to make a promise which
everybody knows they are not goiug
to keep.

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York, Aug. 25.—The cotton
market continues to reflect confidence
that the volume of hedge sell : ng will
presently he sufficiently in excess of
demand to carry prices lower, which
has encouraged such shorts as cover
ed prior to the bureau to put out
their contracts agnin in spite of rath
er numerous complaints received from
eastern belt sources that deteriora
tion through shedding and premature
opening is more severe than is natur
al and is cutting down the prospect iu
various states in that section.
Estimates of the probable yield in
numerous important counties: in
Texas are sensationally low by com
parison with last year and with what
has come to be considered as a rea
sonable expectation for those counties.
Dbtnnnd, ho>vever, of the sort that can
be relied upon to> Stick is not a plapt
bf overnight growth but develops by
gradual'stages and it is not ut all im
possible or .even improbable that prices
will work lower before the buying bal
ances the selling.
' Speculative sentiment on the aver
age strongly favors such a view and
the technical strength of the market
is being rapidly built up agaiu in that
expectation. Trade interests and con
sumers generally continue to take
cotton on all favorable opportunities
which is another factor making for
tccbnwal strength which would quick
ly make itself felt on any really bull
ish news in connection with either
the crop or trade.
Conservative action on the con
structive side at moderate intervals
goes further, looks the best way to
those who can be patient for a time.
POST AND FLAG.
The Water Situation as It Was in
Asheville.
To show t'aat the water situation
was really serious in many western
North Carolina towns, the following
extracts are taken fr.om an Asheville
bulletin, issued by the commissioner
of public works:
“No water shall be used for water
ing or sprinkling lawns, flowers or
gardens.
“No water shall "be used for the
washing of vehicles of any description
or the washing of windows.
‘‘All leaks in plumbing must be im
mediately stopped.
“No water shall be used for bap
tizing or sprinkling in connection with
religious services.”
The bulletin further states: “The
situation today is most serious and
all consumers are urged to co-operate
in the conservation of water in every
way possible. The bottling com
panies have voiuntairily discontinued
business. Are 'they more patriotic
than you? You are urged to cut
your baths to a minimum and to take
sponge baths instead of tubs and
showers.”

Varner.
Whereas; Rev. J. M. Varner is

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
ADMITS THE KILLING
OF AN AGED WOMAN
Mrs. Stevenson Was Killed With a
Blow and Then Hanged in Cabin
- Home.
Greensboro, Aug. 25.—Alonroe Oz
ment, whie man, today was arrested
on a charge of killing Mrs. Eunice
Stevenson, aged Guilford county wom
an, two months ago, at her hermit-
Uke home in the lower part of the
county.
Ozment, who is an inmate of the
Guilford county home for the aged
and infirm, broke down under ques
tioning of the Guilford sheriff, D. B.
Stafford, and told how he knocked
the old woman in the head and then
banged her to a rafter in her huWe
little home. He did that to make
it appear a case of suicide.
That his mentality is low was evi
dent by that trick, as the wounds on
the head of Mrs. Stevenson plainly
showed that she had been killed be
fore she was strung up. In addi
tion, the rope of sacks ayound her
neck fas not long enoughHo keep her
feet off the floor.
Mrs. Stevenson, a widow for many
years, had refused to leave her home
and live with relatives, preferring the
independence of her cabin and her
pitiful possessions. These consisted
of a Bible, a spool of thread, a few
chickens and a few eggs. So pov
erty stricken Was the old woman that
seven eggs were found secreted in an
old bureau, one of the few articles
of furniture in' the house.
Since the body was discovered by
a little boy, son of a neighbor, when
he went to the home to carry some
milk to Mrs. Stevenson, the. identity
of the killer has remained a mystery
until today, when Ozment, in the
county home, talked too much. He
said that a negro did the murder,
but that he was there. It was found
tllht the negro he named was on
the chain gang at the time. Pressed,
Ozmeent broke down and confessed.
Robbery was evidently the motive,
the killer thinking, it would appear,
that the penniless old woman had
money in her home.
MAINE RAZING BILLBOARDS.
All Forms of Highway Advertising
Prohibited by New Law.
State troopers and highway em
ployes of the state of Maine this, week
concentrated upon destroying bill
boards and highway signs following
the signing by Governor Ralph O.
Brewster of the legislative bill pro
hibiting all forms of highway adver
tising.
The prohibition of new billboards
and the demolition of the old, is the
result, of a popular demand for the
preservation of the natural beauties of
the state. •' ' >' ’’ < ' > K
In affixing his signature to the bill.
Gov. Brewster observed that the busi
ness of Maine is pre-eminently that
of being a summer playground for
city dwellers. These latter, he said,
would prefer to drink in Maine 1 # nat
ural beauties rather than be prevent
ed from doing so by signs admonish
, ing them to drink, eat and wear
“Schwarts Pop,” "Gilhooe’s Maca
roni” and “So-aud-So’s Garters.”

Greenville, S. C., Aug. 25.—High
explosives to be used in a rain-mak

of the war department by Representa

The explosive would be set off in

of producing rainfall and breaking the

Representative AfcSwain stated he
