Once married, people have a way
of staying married to the same per
son. En, the entire Dominion of Can
ada with its population of some ten
million ppeople, only fifty-nine di
vorces *ere reported during J.923. If
the same ratio bold true in the city
of New York, the courts there would
be granting only three and one-half
divorces a month. But New York
City unhitches twice as many In a
month as Canada 'does in a whole
year. In the United States the most
recently reported ratio of. divorcee to
population was 18.2 percent. Dur
ing the same year England's ratio
was 2>.2 percent, 'New Zealand II
percent and Australia I percent.
This low figure for Australia Is es
pecially interesting since It is only
necessary for a man and woman to
separate by mutual consent for a per.
iod of thre^ years when a divorce
may be otyained by either party. In
our country Ihe laws are much more
strict, yet Quite often a' man moves
to his club on the first of the month
and his wife secures a divorce before
it is time to tear off the monthly page
on the calendar. Perhaps a lenient
three-year mutual consent ruling
would be more effective. In three
years many affections for the 'other*
man or woman, inlght cool off.

ISN'T THE KIND OF GOVERNpR JEI TRY IT
Chief Executive Hits Snag When Economy Program Sees Into Effect
Bet Has Public Opinion Solidly Behind Kin In His Attempt To.
Curtail Senseless Expenditure of State Fends.
In a recent editorial the Wilmington Star ably voiced the opinion of
the majority of the residents of North Carolina when it said: "The people
of the State are beginning to realize the Governor of North Carolina is
daily facing a severe test of his courage and steadfastness of purpose. Mr.
McLean made a pledge that the affairs of the state would be placed upon pi
fair business foundation and the spending of public money limited to the
present income.
True to his promise Mr McLean is
devoting his unusual executive and
business ability to this great task.
Every sane thinking citizen of the
state stands ready to assist him and
lend aid and comfort to the Gover
nor in his determination to rid the
State of excessive spending of money
in excess of revenue.
True to form when the Governor
begin8 his /battle for economy and'
against waste in the money belong
ing to the tax payers of the State,
the snipers appear and begin their
attacks from ambush. Wild tales of
waste and extravagance upon one
band and hungry, starving wards of
the State who are suffering' because
of the economy program of the Gov
ernor are used, seeking to defeat him
in his laudable undertaking. Daily
the majority of the press of the State
is realizing the unfair figB^ being
waged against the Governor, and are
joining the forces that are assisting
him arid are giving him their loyal
support.
CommentiLg upon the fairy story
issued out of Raleigh about an elec

burg Exchange has an editorial
headed, ^'Another Lie Nailed," quot
ing in full from Dr. Livingston John
son an editorial to the same effect
nates, from Raleigh to the effect that
because of the Governor's economy
program, the Caswell Training school
must turn away 30 or 40 of its sever

The institution of the curb-mar

men's Home Demonstration Club of
the county under the direction of
tion agent marked the beginning-of
an entirely new method of selling
farm products in this section.
Saturday when the markdt opened
people from various towns were pre

Farmers all over the county are
urged to bring their surplus produce
of every description to Columbus on
ach Saturday and this includes but
ter, chickens, and eggs as well as

Residents of the towns sui<round

their buying direct from the- pro

tendent of the training school, and
is fully exploded by the statement of
Senator Tapp, a conservative busi
ness man and chairman of the bdard
of Caswell Training School, who says
that no children will be sent away or
, neglected because of the lack of
funds. The Charlotte Observer is
authority for the statement that
it appears from the records of the
training school that Dr. McNary is
spending more per capita upon his ?
patients at the Caswell Training
School than are other slmiliar State
institutions. The general hint 1b dl
? .. :
rected to Dr. McNary that, perhaps,
if he would fall in line with the econ
omy program of Governor McLean
and reduce his expenditures of the
school of other like ' schools, he
would be ablet to care for even Store
children than he is doing today. It
is pertinent to the issue to find the
head of an Institution, whose expen
ditures are larger than similar ex
penditures from other institutions,
criticizing the Governor for his ef
forts to save the people's money.
If Dr. McNary, or the he4d of any
other State Institution, Is not willing
to place sucli institution upon an eco
nomical and businesslike basis, in ac
cordance with Governor McLean's
llleas, and the people's wishes he
should resign his position and let
| Mttaone take chaq? qtt^pro
stead of using his efforts to de&ftt
the purpose of the executive.
A further story is started that it
is not dignified for the Wage Com
mission, appointed by the Governor
in an effort t0 money, to be per
mitted t0 ask the University or other
college professors and workers to an
swer the questionaires sent out by
the Commission which seeKs Knowl
edge As to the duties and wor.k of thp
enjployees of the University and oth
er colleges belonging to the Stat?.. ,
Fanciful tales of spies and detect-?
ives In the departments of the State
government at Raleigh have beqn
used in an effort to prejudice the
work of the Wage Commission before,
its duties are performed.
Mr. McLean needs every ounce of
his energy to successfully carry out
his great program of economy for the
benefit of the, taxpayers and people
of the State. Let every good citizen
assist him. If there be any employ
ees^ of the State who feel that thejk
cannot work in harmony with the
ideas of the Governor, in his efforts
to reduce the tax burdens of the peo
ple of the State, let such persons re
sign their positions as State employl
ees and enter into labors more to
their liking. Let the Governor of
this great State know that the citi
zens are standing four-square behind
him."

"The World War has set a

mon country. Son8 and grand
sons of the men who fought in
the Civil War .fought side by ^

of '61 to '65 passed out of the

' "The great monument at
Stone Mountain should not be
erected in a divided country.
The fat-#, hat has the sympa

evidence of this is the gener

coining memorial money to aid
in the completion of the under

the sale of these memorial coin*
will be large enough to insure
rapid -progress and ultimate,
