County Commissioners in Session Yes
terday Request the Cabarrus Rep
resentative in the Oeneral Assem
bly to Draft a Bill Providing for
Authority to Call an Election for
$100,000 and Not More than $200,
000 Other Matters of County In
terest. The boa nl of county commisKioncri.
were in session yesterday and quite a
lot of interesting business was trans
acted. Among other things that the
commissioners had under considera
tion was the matter of securing funds
for the payment of the outstanding
indebtedness of the county. The com
missioners made a request of their
attorney, who is also the Cabarrus
Representative in the General Assem
bly, to prepare a bill and introduce it
in the legislature now in session, pro
viding the commissioners with author
ity to call an election for bonds, to
ascertain the wishes of the people !
to whether the issue of bonds be up
plied to the payment of out standing
indebtedness of the county which is in
the neighborhood of $100,000. The
bill was fo to rend as to give the com
missioners the authority to name
whatever amount may be deemed nec
essary at their discretion for s;id
purposes, the issue not to be less than
$100,000 and not more than $200,000.
It was also the wish of tne board that
Senator Means and Representative
Williams do all in their power to
bring about the passage of such an
enactment. There is no doubt but
the bill will go through all right, for
the county is in a hole, and the bonds
are sorely needed for the squaring in
accounts.
The usual routine of passing on the
monthly bill occupied a great portion
of the day, many bills coining hcfoie
the board for consideration.

The Cannonville Night School.
The opening of the t'annonvilh'
night school will he about t lie loth
of the month in the room over the
store of Ifobhouser on Franklin Ave-
e. In this school its promoters
propose to jrive young men and boys
an opportunity of attending school a
few hours four nights in each week,
the same to be in charge of a teachei
of experience and ability. It is
thought that with this opportunity a
good many young men and hoys will
be enrolled. The hours will be so
arranged as not to interfere with the
work during the day and will leave
ample time for rest and sleep. Already
a good deal of interest has been shown
in the movement and it is thought
that the school can be operated to
much advantage and at small eost.
What Roosevelt Has Done.
Kansas City Star.
President Roosevelt has not been
infalliable in his judgment, nor hat
be always been much less sought to
be diplomatic in his methods. But
his administration has been fraught
with tremenduous good for the peo
ple. He has accomplished things that
waited and waited and waited for
the right man to secure their accom
plismenl. He has raised the stand
ards of political official, and business
morality and lias given the nation
high social and patriotie aspirations-.
Although not claiming to be a con
structive economist, be baa opened, the
eyes of the people as no other man
before him did to the greatnest- of
the country and to its obligation to
the present and to future generations.
Correspondingly, M -. has aroused
the animosity of the beneficiaries of
special privilege everywhere, and this
class cannot conceal its atisfa'ction
over the nearing end of hisadminis-
tration, Jind tome of them bave not
even taken the pains to hide their
malice.- ,'. V-'V-

'Iiarles A. Kllwood, irofi--or of so
i.dojrv, I'niversily of Mis-oini. say-:
'Divorce is not an evil which Ihe
loreiun born and the neirro ia.
roii!:hl to us, for it espeeia II v :'liai
iclerizes hie native while, that is,
he ire-etnineiitU A niei ir;i n clement

me to -uspecl that divorce ha- some
thing to do wilh the individualism ,,
the American people, the leinlciir.
among us lor each one lo do a- li
pleases, lo be a law unto himself.
This is borne out by the fact that in
those sections of the country in
which individualiMii is most Ii'il'IiIv
levokiped, the divorce rate is high
est, namelv in New Knglaud and lie
sieni states. It is borne out also
by the fact that divorce is more than
four time? as common among Prot
estants as among Catholics. The
Protestant element in the population
is the element in which individualism
more highly develoied; beside-.
the Roman Catholic church refuses to
sanction absolute divorce upon any
ground.
Finally, two-thirds of all divorces
are granted upon demand of the wife.
This suggests that the standards ot
morality of the male element of the
population are not what they should
be, and that husbands too often give
ground for divorce bv immoral con-
luct. Higher standards of morality
are necessaiv as civilization advance-
mid conduct which the wife over
looked in the husband a half-cen
tury ago, or bore in silence, now be-
omes a ground for divorce.
This last statement suggests another
cause lor increasing divorce in tins
country, and that is the emancipation
of woman. Woman has now almost
equal rights with man, and has
achieved her economic, linteUcetuaJ
and moral as well as legal indepen-
ience of man. This has been a good
thing in itself, but many women have
used their freedom to emphasize their
rights, rather than their duties, and
consequently have rendered Ihe fam
ily life less stable. In mi far as the
movement for "woman's rights" has
been simfily an expression of growing
individualism or selfishness on the
part or woman, it has tendered like
all individualism to destroy the
home."
