Tne facts of relation ship as given the attorney are these; OiT'May ,"iyCB,fhereived'in the town of Day, Saratoga county, a farmer and his son, the mother bt uig dead. At the same time and a short distance away, in Fulton coun ty, lived a widow and her daughter. The son on that date married the widow, whereby the new wife's uau&hter became her husband's daughter, and at the same time the son's daughter became the boy's father's daughter, and nhe young daughter of the son's wife, who hau become daughter of the son's father also became the son's iatner's grand daughter. Tnen, to complicate matters still further, in July. 1906, the father married the son's wite's daugheer, wnereby the son's wite's daughter the son's motner and the ton's wite. oecaine the son s iatner s mouiei . t urtheimore, the son's lather hav lug maiiied the son's dauyiiter, she oecame the son s motner, and the con's mother's mother, who is the soii'a wife, is the son's grandmother and thereby the son became nis own grandfather. The son wants Mr. Miner to figure out the proportionate share to which he is entitled from an uncle s estate. The North Carolina Conference for Social Service has just held a great meeting in Raleigh. As a re sult of discussions of mnny matters affecting the State's welfare the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: 1. Favoring the organization of church and social service leagues in every North Carolina city and town. 2. Favoring a campaign to teach grown-up people to read and write as has been done in the now famous moonlight schools. - 3. Urging colleges to give more attention to economics, sociology and the race problem. 4. Favoring compulsory vaccina tion against both smallpox and ty phoid fever. 5. Endorsing a civic -irvice week and urging that, conrv iity surveys be made all over ti. - . e. 6. Favoring farm women's clubs, community social centers, and the steady devel ment of homogenous communities from the racial stand point for the better support of all social agencies. 7. Endorsing the uniform chiid iaoor law, tne iourteen year age omi with adequate inspection. 8. Ei dorsing the indeterminate s. tence, pai o.e system and giving prisoner's earnings to his famiiy. 9. Favoring State-wide ad op ion of the Guilford county public morals : tvv, making property owners re- opon iole wno rent houses for i ru in i al purposes. 10. Uiving Legislature to ap point House and Senate commitiees o i scifd welfare., 11. Favoting a law to make co habitation of tne races a -crime. Within one year the conference has grown to a membership of near lv 1000 of the foremost thinking people in the State. It would seem taut when such an organization as tois agree on such a set of resolu- f : '.ivk epr een tJig- the Jfct? ! ed do w n crystalized ideas of the conference on social service work needed in the State, that these ideas should be given very seiious consideration by the public generally. Farmers Union members all over the county are making preparations to attend the next county convention to be held at Halifax on Saturday, April 11th. There will be some questions brought up for discussion that we have never had before. Dr. J. M. Templeton, the State Vice-President, will deliver an ad dress the equal if not the best ever heard in Halifax countj. All who have heard Dr. Templeton saj' he is one 'of the best orators in North Carolina. There will also be a number of fchort talks by the county officers. We have now about 75 lady mem bers in the county and we under stand there will be a good many of them present also. The membership is increasing faster than we hoped it would. In the 15 days, between March 1st and March 15th, there was an increase of 89 members.
