Marital Adventures of Whirlwind r Taak Htm Over Six State*. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 27.—N0el Cobb, alias Dupre, theological stu dent and erstwhile “French di plomat," is In North Carolina today recuperating at a sanatorium from mental malady known as “dementia praecox” after marital adventures involving six states. Oibb, son of a well known South Carolina family, left homo coming here where he attfnded the Presby terian Theological Seminary. From there he went to Vanderbilt Universi ty at Nashville, Tenn., where he met Miss Margaret Farmer, pretty Pea body College student. After a whirl wind courtship they went to Jeffer sonville, Ind., where it is believed a fake marrage ceremony was per formed. The couple then returned to the bride’s home at Dothan, Ala., where Cobb filled the pulpit in a Presby terian church for one Sunday. The father became suspicious of the mar riage and asked Cobb to leave. He then went to Birmingham where he presented himself to officials of Bir mingham-Southern College as Nod Dupre, “a French diplomat” in this country to paint pictures “of typical American beauties.” Armed with recommendations from the Birmingham college offi cials, Cobb, still posing as a dip lomat, went to Emory University in Atlanta, where he took up theology. There he met Virginia Hollings worth, another southern beauty, with whom he eloped two day" later to Chattanooga. Tenn., where they were married. They returned to the bride’s home, w'here Cobb was taken ill. While in the hospital letters were found from his supposed first wife, Margaret. Miss Hollingsworth’s par ents immediately had him arrested on a bigamy charge, which was later withdrawn when it was discovered the first marriage was performed by some one in the Indiana town, who posed as a magistrate, and was not legal. Suit for annullment of the mar riage, however, is being filed by his second bride’s parents, while Cobb was taken back home by his mother following his collapa^. Professor Says People Are Now at Mercy of Machinery. , Chicago, Feb. 27. — 04*) —The Amer ican people are now "at the mercy of machinery,” says Dean John F. Clark, of the economic department of the University of Chicago, in a forth coming book on social control of bus iness. “We are living in the midst of a revolution which is transfonuing the i character of every business and the 1 economic life of every citizen,” he j declares. “The penalty for failure I to increase efficient service of the I machines we have developed is ina \ bility to maintain our growing num bers. The human race has become confirmed in the habit of multiplying and unless we first get rid of this i habit, we must go on increasing the efficiency of our producing system.” A well-known explorer tells the story that he asked an Eskimo and later a South Sea Islander, who was President of the United States. Both , answered “Edison.” Omaha Sniper, His Weapon and Man He Shot THE POLITICAL POT HAS BEGUN TO BOIL R. R. Reynolds Runs for Senate.— Women Will Take Active Hand Rnleigh, Feb. 27.—OP)—The poli: ical pot ill North Carolina has begun to boil. Robert R. Reynolds, of Asheville has built up the fire which brought about the boiling point b.v announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate on the Democratic ticket to succeed Senator Lee S. Overman, whose term expires this year. It is generally conceded that the junior senator will be a candidate to suc ceed himself. Secretary of State W. N. Everett said last week when questioned as to the reason for the lull in political ac tivities that “wait till the warm weather and then you’ll see the can didates begin to announce them selves.” Mr. Reynolds’ announcement seems to bear out Mr. Everett’s state ment for it was made on one of the balmiest days of the year—forerunner of the spring which is almost here. But though there is one hat in the ring, the real activities are not ex pected for thirty to sixty days. There will be a number of important state offices open for election to the June primaries. At least two superior court judges have informally an nounced their intention of retiring, a number of others must be elected. 1 solicitors must be named in evers district, the supreme court must stand for re-election in its entirety practically and a corporation commis sioner must be named. The legisla tive ranks must be filled, the entire membership of both houses being re quired to be named this year. Matters are scheduled to start next month on Mawh 9th and 10th when the State league of women voters meets in convention at Charlotte. The women are becoming more and more active in polities and it is ex pected that a number of policies which they desire carried out will be considered at the convention and it is not unlikely that candidates for office will find themselves facing a program for the women before they get the endorsement of the female voters. The women presented a pro gram to the 1925 General Assembly. It was not adopted with any great degree of success and this is reported to have aroused the ire of the women. This year, it is noised about in po litical eireles, the prospective legisla tors will be required to endorse the women's program in advance of the primary if they desire their votes. The next event on the calendar which probably will have some polit ical significance willl be the Social Service Conference at Greensboro’ on March 25-26. This body which em braces the committee of one hundred is expected to furnish some food for legislative thought. Heretofore, the committee of one hundred has had some very definite ideas of certain legislation for the social service work in the state and this committee's ideas have had sponsors in the legislature. It is believed that the same will be true this year and ideas evolved at the conference at Greensboro prob ably will be worked out for presenta tion to the legislature next January. The Republican side of the political situation will be aired at Durham on April Bth when the State Repub lican convention gets underway. This convention will name the Republican candidates for the various offices and also probably will receive the resigna tion and name a successor to William G. Bramham, state chairman. Con siderable political fireworks have been promised by various of the Republi can leaders of the state for this con vention when two factions of the party are expected to lock horns.
