have been in the habit Of play ing

Ia this way the home organizations
seldom made anything, while the city

Oklahoma Probate Divorces Illegal,

GUTHRIE, o. T., July 3O.-The suit
to test the divorce granted by the pro-
bate judge of Oklahoma has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court adversely
to the judges and the Divorces, the
court confirming its former decision
on the subject, denying the right OF
probate judges to grant divorces, and
declaring all such null and void and
any subsequent marriage of the par
ties illegal. Hundreds of Eastern
people who have secured Oklahoma
divorces from Probate Courts will be
compelled to have their cases tried in
District Courts.

CONVENTION POSTPONED.
To the Sunday School Workers OF
North Carolina.

For several reasons it has been
deemed best to postpone the State
Convention, appointed to be held at
Goldsboro, August 9th to Goth, until
November, the exact date not being
yet determined upon.
This will enable many more counties
to hold their local conventions and
elect delegates to the State Conven-
tion. Notice will be given as soon as
the date has been decided upon. In
the meantime county officers are urged
to hold township and county conYen-
tions and select their best representa-
tiyes as delegates to the State Con-
vention. The program is now being
outlined and will be announced as soon
as completed. We promise the Sun
day school workers of the State one of
the best conventions we have ever had.
Help us to make it the best. In His
name. N. B. BROUGHTON, Pres.

named Floyd Cox came up behind
him and shot him, killing him in

the dead man had on his person
(about S190) and skipped out. 1t is
supposed that robbery was the only
motive for the murder.

Jud ge Ewart Imposes Heavy Penalty
on Mr.. Robinson.
In the contempt proceedings against
Frank e. Robinson, editor of the
Asheville Citizen, Judge Ewart fined
him $3.50 and sentenced him to thirty
days in the county jail. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court.
The contempt proceedings were the
result of an editorial in the Citizen,
criticizing Judge Ewart for removing
the Sumner murder case to Hender-
son county. The editorial stated that
the case was not removed on it's merits
and that the Judge should explain his
action. Four lawyers appeared foI
Robinson at the trial and claimed
that the editor did not intend to re.
fleet on the integrity of the court.
Judge Ewart read the editorial,
made his own comments, aud said il
was useless for any man to claim that
no contempt and Misrepresentation
was intended.

To Form white Republican Party


The recent conference in Durham
between DR.. Mott. Maj. Guthrie and
Marion Butler is now said to have
been for the purpose of forming a
white Republican party, and the re
port is that two prominent Demo-
Gratis were present. 1t will be re-
membered that when Senator Pritch-
ard was serving his first term in the
Legislature he was enthusiastic on
the subject OF a white Republican
party. He said the time was ripe for
it in the Western part Of the State
and that if it were formed and the
negro eliminated numbers Of young
Democrats would join it. Col. Fred
Olds, of the Raleigh Visitor, says
that a message was sent from Durham
for a Raleigh newspaper man to go
there and look into the matter Of this
alleged conference of the members OF
three parties. 1t may be that it all
grew out of the fact that the two
Democrats were courteous to the
visitors.

Section of the Count,

DR.. r. j. Anderson, of Martinsville,

with three deaths.
There was special meeting of the
Town Council of Martinsville yester-

the infected district. Steps will also
be taken to prevent the disease from

to coHffne the smallpox to Patrick
county, and even prevent its spread
ing there. Fortunately, it is confined
to remote and small section of that
county.
DANVILLE GUARANTEES.
The Board of Health Of Danville,
after hearing the report OF DR.. James
regarding the smallpox in Patrick,
prepared the following:
''The Board of Health of Danville,
Va, would recommend to the Council
to establish a quarantine against the
stations along the Danville and
Western railroad and the country con-
tiguous thereto west Of Martinsville,
Henry county,"
At the meeting of the Council last
night the recommendation Of the
Board of Health was unanimously
adopted, and the Mayor has issued his
proclamation to the above effect. The
