UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW.
Conference of Governors At Spring
Lake to Discuss Question.
Next month the House of Go
vernors will meet in its second
annual session at Spring Lake,
and it is devoutly to'be hoped that
something will be done this year
which will materialize' in better
legislation. This is a purely infor
mal gathering and s.its decisions
bind nobody, but some good
ought to result it the time is
spent in earnest work rather than
in recreation. Last year the House
of Governors met at Frankfort
Ky., and immediately adjourned
to go to Louisville, where "every
one had a good time." but nothing
happened.
Thw will he no excuse for
loafing this year. A good many
topics will come before the
Governors, but -by far the most
important is that dealing with
plans for uniform , marriage,
divorce and probate las, ALendy
23 Governors have declared in
favor of such uniformity, four
others have gone on record to the
same purpose, two arenon-com-mittal
in replies and the rest hve
not been heard from. This is a
good beginning. If the Govern
ors are really anxious to do some
constructive work they ought to
succeed.
A single incident in the last few
weeks has stirred the country
more than a thousand other in
the past, many of which were
just as flagrant. This indicates
that public sentiment has reachec
a point where it is beginnine tr
srystalize and this means a gooc
chance for remedial legislation.
It would be possible to secure ar
amendment to the .Federal consti
tution, but experience has shown
that this is a long and tedious
process. Even in that event Con
gress would have to deal with tht
subject and might not come up t(
expectations.
Already there is a basis for
action in the proposed law draftee
by the National Divorce Congress
called some years ago by Gover
nor Pennypacker,. It prepared
measure which seemed to bt
about the limit which it is 'Dossibk
in these days and under such vari
ed conditions and it will accomp
lish very important reforms. i;
adopted. The House of Governor
may improve on this and it car

Marriage of Children and the Combs
Case.
Salisbury Post.
There is no more striking ex
ample of the folly and shame of
children marriages nor of the
crime and absolute lack of a
moral set of duty of ministers
and others who are vested with
authority to perporm the mar
riage ceremony, than the Combs
murder case of Iredell county.
The husband and murderer js
18 years old, his murdered wife
was 16, and they had been mar
ried six months. The couple ran
away and were married in South
Carolina. Some minster or es
quire officiated, giving them the
right to live together legally
The union was not peaceful
there were quarrels. Thep young
wife wanted to visit her parent
the husband objected. There
was a conflict, the woman was
murdered, choked to death lying
across no Knees oi tne man
brute, Was there ever a darker
picture and all because a minis
tor or justice of the peace pro
nounced the words which made
them man and wife?
The State, the law, the custom
all conspired to bring about the
the murder. A clearer sense of
leponsibility on the part of the
ministry and others having the
right to marry couples is needed
and until these have come to un
.lestanc;their full moral duty in
the matter children will continue
to marry and tragedies will
multiply and increase.

Character in the Eye.
Beware of the man who does
not look you clearly in the eye.
3e has possibilties of evil in his
aature. There are eyes which are
luminous, others which seems to
be veiled behind a curtain.
Men and women of the world
are accustomed to judge human
nature by the expression of the
eye. Many people read character
by the eyes, and can thus distin
guish the false from the loyal,
the f rani: from the deceitful the
lard from the tender, the ener
from the inaihvrent.
Next year is going to be an
exciting one politicals in this
section at the very quietest esti
mate. A presidential campaign
will bexm. North Carolina will be
called on to elect state officers and
a Upited States senator-and al
though the former contest is as
yet a matter of guess work the.
latter has already c'eveloped into
a four-cornered fight which is
attracting much attention, Fur
theinure in at least three of the
congressional districts the incum
bents are scheduled to have op
positionand that, too, from
this time on although it is nearly
a year before the congressional
convention will gather.
In the sixth district, Hon. Geo.
H.sBellamy, of Brunswick, is be
ing: groomed to oppose Represen
tative H. L. Godwin and it is not
unlikely that the lively contest of
1910 will be duplicated next
spring. In the third, Hon. Georg
Hood of Wayne who narrowly
missed the nomination last year
is drawing un his lines against
Representative John" M. Faison4.
And now comes word by the way
of the Carolina Democrat tha
Hon. R. N. Page of the seventh
will be numerously opposed. Rum
or is busy with the names of Edi
tor Archibald Johnson of Thomas

For Every Bridge a Drink.
The following story comes
from the mounu tains;
Some aristocratic sports tour
ing it at Blowing Rock made up
a party amongst themselves t(
take, a trip to Boone. None o
them had ever been there before
The New river rises in blowing
Rock and flows northward to the
Ohio. The turnpike to Boone fol
lows the river pretty well all the
way, and one of the party re
marked: ''Now, boys, we . must
not drink too much liquor on tht
road." Another one said: "'W
will take drink every time we
cross a bridge, and onlv when
we cross one." The roadtoBoone
crosses the river ten or twelve
tunes, and the last heard of the
party was tlTat they were scat
tered from the Rocl: all the way
to Boone going both ways and
about all each man knows is when
lie crossed a bridge. Charlotte
Ch ronicle.
The merger germ has now per
meated the furniture manufactur
ing ?orld and the Grand Rapids
of the south offers a combination
representing several hundred
thousand dollars in capital. The
Globe Home Furniture company
the Tomlinson ChairlManufactur-
ing company, two of the largest
plants of their kind in the south,
have just been consolidated. The
chair company has increased its
capital stock to $750,000 and plans
to make chairs and furniture on a
much larger scale. Repcently a
i i . .
number or. cotton mm mergers
have been effected in the south.
Four combinations in South Caro
lina alone represent a combined
capitalization of sonjething like
$20,000,000. It is argued that by
combining their properties under
one management great economy
can thereby be effected. It is fur
ther claimed that heavily financed
corporations are better able to
weather occasional fincial storms
than smaller companies. In addi
tion it is the expressed belief vof
leaders in the merger proposition
that by joining properties new
markets can be opened up and the
industry generally benefited.
The south will hereafter do its
business on a large scale. Big
business is taking the place of
small enterprise, The5,000spindle
mill is no longer looked upon as a
monster. We have the hundred
thousand spindle plant and the five
hundred thousand spindle comp
any. The small furniture factory
nas been succeeded by the heavily
nanced concern. And in the pur
suit of manufacturing there has
been a marked tendency to branch
out. Once the south made only
coarse goods. The result was that
a tenporary depression in this line
if textiles put a crime in the en
tire industry. Diversification the
Dolicy which has blessed the farm
er, is benegting the manufacturer
ilso. Mills, are changing to finer
counts and today almost any fab-
ic made in New or Old England
s made in the south also.
The furniture factory, also of,
today does not confine itself to the
naking of inferior products. High
cass furniture and chairs are turn
d out goods that compare favor
ably with produtcs frcm Grand
Rapids. Th;s means that the mon
ey which once went out of the
south to purchase better goods is
day kepc at home.
V.iu business is the order of the
il ' dav in the south.
Women
Secrets
n
There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard f
more women's aecrets than any other man or -noman in the S
country. These secret are not seerets of fallt or shame, but ttsj
tha secrets of suffering, and they hare been confided to Dr. 3!fL
R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation cf adriee and help.
That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex
pectations is proved by the fact that nmety-eijht per cent, of
all women treated by Dr. Pierce hare been absolutely and
altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable ii the
oases treated were numbered by hundreds only. Bet when
that record applies to the treatmeat of more than half-a- mil
i;nn wamm. in a rirfletice mf over 40 vears. It is ohenomenaL
and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of
specialists in the treatment ef women's diseases.
Every sick woman ' may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. All replies are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without
any printing or advertising whatever, upon them. Write without fear as with

served, was held by Judge Kinead
in the criminal court at Columbus,

A Tribute To Woman.
In a symposium on Woman Col
R. G. Ingersoll was to contribute
his views. He replied as follows:
"It takes a hundred men to' make
an encampment, but one woman
can make a home. I not only ad
mire a woman as the most beauti
ful object ever created, but I re
ference her as the redeemed glory
of humanity, the sanctuary of all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head, lit is
because women are so much) bet
ter than men that their faults are
considered greater. The one thing
in this world that is constant, the
only peak that rises above the
clouds, the one window in which
the light burns forever, the one
star that darkness cannot quench
is woman's love. It rises to the
greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths, it forgives the most!
injuries. A woman's love is' the
perfume of the-earth. This is the.
real love that subdues the earth;
the love that has wrought all mir
icles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song
to the grand closing symphony
bears the soul away Jon wings of
fire, A love that is greater than
power, sweeter life and stronger
than death."
Loss Time means Loss cf Pay.
Kidney trouble and the ills it
breeds means lost time and lost
pay to many a working man. M.
Balent, 1214 Little Penna St.,
Steator, 111., was so bad from kid
ney and bladder trouble that the
coud not work but he says; "I
took Foley Kidney Pills for only
a short time and got entirely well
and was soon able to go back to
work and :am feeling well and
healthier than before." Foley kid
ney Pills are tonicin action, quick
in results anend to the working
man orwOrnan who suffers from
kidney ills. ..." . -
