Raleigh, Sept.41. The statement
was made by a court officer here to
day that there were . more . divorce!
suits In this county under tbenew law
than formerly. He remarked that the
lawyers made the evidence to fit the
case. The United Stales government
has had a man at work ' here,, some
days, looking over, tha lists' of mar
riages and divorces, in this, county. A
number of marriages, "average about
600 a year and the average number of.
divorces about 35. The man who wants
a divorce is posted, that is, told exact
ly what to do and divorces are grant
ed in fully three, fourths of the cases
tried. Such Is the statement made by
the official la question. ' . 'J. .
Practically all yesterday session
of the supreme court -was devoted to
argument to the case in Craven coun
ty in which three men were convicted
in the . lower court of selling intoxi
cants in violation of the law, that be
ing a dry town, in name at all events.
Before It was dry there were 13 sa-
loons and of course each of these had
a United States license. Now there
are no saloons and yet last year 18
United States licenses were Issued and
every one ot these was renewed this
year. The question is being .asked
whether at New Bernlprohihltiou pro
hibits. This sort of "i ' " Vbat the
Estate is trying so ha break up.
Possession of a Unite states whis-
key license is prima faces evidence
that the holder is a seller. - ' "
It was to be noted that these people
are always very careful to put up the
$25 for the United States license. In
the case of the New Bern men refer-t
red to, it Is said by officials here that
they have gone right on Belling Intoxi
cants since their conviction, they hav-;
ing given bond tor their appearance.
They -were convicted In the superior'
court and were given two year's sen
tence. ' On their part they contented
that the trial was not fair and that
public . sentiment was worked - - up
against - them, but the state says that
this is a bluff. j
In the superior court today 3rd dis
trict appeals were argued and among
the attorneys was Dr. Hughes of Nor
folk, who appeared in the case of
Branch vs. the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company. - , ;
The Inspection of food stuffs by the
experts of the State Agricultural De
partment has been finished. The law
requires that after October 1st there
Is to be a heavy penalty for having in
possession any adulterated goods . of
this kind, for man or beast There Is
some adulterated stuff on hand by
dealers, but it will all be gotten off by
the date named. It Is' said that none
is being shipped. In now( the Inspec
tions being very sharp indeed. '
The rumor was current here today
that Mr. Shea of the Seaboard Air
Line with his offices In Hamlet as
division superintendent, is to be pro
moted and made general superintend
ent of the entire system and that Mr.
Nix will go to the Tidewater Railway.
There is some demand for a police
census of this city. All sorts ot gues
ses are made as to the population of
Greater Raleigh but nobody knows. (
An Investigation is being made of
the methods of some of the guaranty
companies, which it Is claimed es
caped taxation. A stockholder, sub
scribing say $10,000 stock, does not
put up the money but takes stock In
some other company and puts that up.
This stock being taxed, it Is claimed
only for the company In whone name
It stand. It was remarked that thla
sort of thing might, be cminued lu
ll '" : .'a.!y and half dozen enterprises
t s V;,q t sine stock, if cue could not
l!.' si t'.e "whole outrt, event the orl-

Nest week In the Supreme court
there, will be argument in the case
from Franklin county which Involves
the right of a county under the consti
tution to levy a special tax in order
to bring the terms of . the ; public
schools' up to, four months in each
year. Just twenty years ago, In the
Barksdale case the , State , Supreme
court decided; that taxes could not
be levied in excess of 66 2-3 cents on
the $100 and $2 on the polls. That
decision gave a black . eye to . taxes
for school purposes. But things have
broadened since that time and now It
is contended that such a tax is not
only necessary but must be levied to
keep pace with public improvements
In an educational, as well as in a
material way. The State is therefore
confident that it will win in this new
endeavor. The State itself has tried
to aid in every way In keeping the
schools openjto the four months pe
riod, but as a matter of fact that duty
properly .devolves upon the counties.
The constitution, is remandatory.
Nothing can be clearer,, '.' '. . '.:
The new city superintendent of
schools, Francis M. Harper, is very
hard at work making all the arrange
ments for the opening of the, eight
white schools and five colored public
schools, on the twenty-third instant
There ar In the white schools 36
teachers and 2,300 pupils and In the
colored schools 27 teachers and 1,340
pupils. One new school will open on

Greensboro, Sept 11. Unlike many
things here, the opera house manage
ment Is simply bum. Whether this is
due to lack of housing facilities, or is
the result of a theat leal trust man
agement or both Is & question, but
there can be no question ot the out
rage of a packed mass of people,
ladles men and chili' ren being com
pelled to be in a crush for halt hour
at least as was the case last night to
gain admittance to the opera house
through one door, whin there are two
doors built for entrance.
Another instance oi inadequate fa
cilities can be seen a ay day or nlghi "
at the Southern Railway ticket office
Owing to the ten cents penalty pas
sengers have to pay for not having a
ticket, those who havo been bitten try
to get a ticket With the crowds who
buy tickets at the sation here now it
is next to impossible for the lone tick
et seller, try as hard as he can to get
around.. ."' : ,".'' ",.'''
This morning one t.-aln had to wait
for him to get ticket for the crowd
going to Jamestown, tnd another train
the one leaving for Raleigh at the
same time, carried several passengers
who were unable to Let tickets. The
railway company considering that this
city Is twice as big as it was when the
station was built, and the travel three
times as much, shou dtry and have
an emergency wlndo and an extra
ticket seller. The trrnslent purchase
of tickets, Is so heavy, the uptown of
fice affords but little relief, especially
with the hours obsened there.
