JEWlSh DIVORCE
osa0ssA AcooraiAg 10 tAs u
Law Of the TAlnaA.

A scene in real life recalling n some
respects the famous divsrosasot d.
picted by Israel zangwili n Aas 'Uhii-
drea of the Ghetto" WAS ssastsd in
Baltimore when Mrs. Lena q. woai
was granted divorce according to
rabbinical law from her husband,
Maurice Wolf, says the Baltimore
sun.
The trial took place at 6Ss West
Lombard street, the residence Of Rev.
Dr.. 8. Sharer rabbi Of the Green strsst
synagogue. A suit for divorce betwesa
the couple is now pending 1. the civil
sourts of that city. The old Talnudis
law. however, requires thoss Dersoaa
who have besn married according t.
the orthodox Hebrew ritual to be d.
vorced also by the religious law. Toa
this reason Mrs. Wolf insisted ON -.
curing the religious divorce
Had Mrs. Wolf neglected to get the
religious divorce she could not be re-
married by an orthodox rabbi, even II
the divorce had been granted in tho
civil courts. The judges were assured
that the action in the civil courts
would result in Mrs. Wolf being
granted divorce. Mr.. Wolf was much
affected by the proceedings, and, be-
fore the trial was concluded, was 60
overcome that he tainted.
Ten persons are required to be pres
ent at the trial for a religious divorce.
Three Of them serve as judges. The
judges at the trial were Rev. DR.. Shat.
fer. Rabbi H. Bearman and Mr.. L.
Strauss. The law requires also that
tho writing Of the enforcement be in
ancient Hebraic characters. A. Mr.
Wolf was unable to perform the task
skilled Hebrew writer, Mr.. Isaac
Cohn. wrote the decree. Ono Of the
remaining persons served as a substi.
tute for the husband in delivering the
writing of divorcement from him to
his wife.
Two of the witnesses were required
to sign the decree. and the three re-
naming persons served a. witnesses.
The judges did not hear the evidence
IN the case in detail, but confined
themselves to accepting the general
statement made by the wife, who said
she had found 1t impossible to live
with her husband. The husband ~.
sented to the granting of the decres.
After considering the case the Judges
decided to grant the divorce. II civil
decree II also granted both will be per-
mltted to marry again. The trial
lasted about two hours.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Pretty Marriage In the Presbyterian
Church Last Thursday.

The Presbyterian church last Thurs
day was the scene of one of the pref
test day weddings ever witnessed in
Henderson. The contracting parties
were Mr.. William Fletcher Medearis
and Miss Margaret Freeborn.
1t was an event that had been look
ed forward to with pleasurable inter-
est, owing to the prominence and
popularity of these young people and
the church was crowded.
Just before the arrival OF the bridal
party Miss Sudie Watkins sang 80,
Promise Me-" displaying her sweet
and sympathetic voice to good effect,
A few minutes after one o'clock the
first notes of the wedding march,
charminglv executed by Mrs. c. A.
Lewis, pealed forth from the organ.
AS the thrilling strains rose higher
and higher Rev. A. h. Shaw, the
officiating minister, took his position
and the ushers moved down the front
aisle and stood on either side of the
altar. Following them came the
the bride leaning on the arm of her
sister Miss Martha Emma Freeborn,
maid of honor. The groom and his
best man, Mr.. r. L. Pickett, of High
Point, entered from the lecture room
and advanced down the opposite aisle.
From the point of meeting the
betrothed with graceful bearing step
ped to the front and the marriage
relation was appropriately consum-
mated. 1t was Il strikingly hand
cop,o ocuplo q nd y,,ory ,roro bo
able remarks on the beauty of the
bride and the manliness of the groom.
The bride was elegantly clad in a
going-away gown of blue camel's hair
cloth and carried an exquisite bou-
quet of Marechal Neil roses and ferns
The maid of honor wore a very be-
coming gown of hunters green and
pink satin, and held in her hand a
bunch of lovely pink roses.
The acknowledged accomplishment
of the bride, her gracefulness of per-
son and carriage, her elegance of man
ner with her nobleness of nature, and
true, womanly, Christian character
combine to render her personality in
deed charming.
The fortunate groom is from Win
ston. He is a most estimable gentle
man and a popular and successful
travelling salesman who has for some
time made Henderson his head
quarters. His uniform courtesy and
gentlemanly bearing have won for him
place in the esteem of a widening
circle of friends in our town who con-
graduate him most sincerely upon
the good fortune that has come to
him.
The pleasure of the occasion was
enhanced by the presence of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. A. Dean, of Winston, Mrs. J.
A. Medearis, of Greensboro, and
others from a distance.
Messrs. l.. K. Gooch, Henry Macy,
J. NJ. Young, w. T. Watkins and K.
S. McCoin were the ushers, and most
admirably did they perform their
duties.
The floral decorations so tastefully
arranged, showed that this feature
had been entrusted to worthy hands.
The gifts to the bride were numer-
Gus and beautiful. embracing the
useful as well as the ornamental in
character.
From church Mr.. and Mrs. Medearis
drove Immediately to the depot, where
after chorus of cordial congratula-
tions they boarded the P. M. train
for a brief sojourn among relatives
of the groom in Greensboro and Win

JOHN T.. BRITT
For Commissioner of Labor and Public
Printer.

IHIS1s
To THE EDIToR-There are few men in
the State who for more than a quarter of
a century have worked more faithfully
and effectually for Democracy and White
Supremacy than Col. John T. Britt, edi-
tor OF the Oxford Public Ledger The fight
instituted in 1874 and unwieldingly
prosecuted ever since was made against
very great odds At that time Granville
county was one of the blacklist negro
strongholds in the State, having a negro
majority of 600 or 800.
To overcome this ma jority and to place
that grand old county on the white list
was the labor that the Public Ledger APP
piled itself to; and at the expense OF
actual boycotts and threats of personal
violence and every conceivable meanness.
the negro was marshalled to fight this
Democratic organ-all to poor effect be
yond the cutting off from the paper some
300 subscribers within few months.
To the Public Ledger more than to any
other factor belongs the credit of a county
redeemed from negro rule-fOr Granville
county now stands boldly and detantly
where she rightfully belongS-in the
Democratic ranks-thanks to the efforts
OF John T. Britt.
In recognition of, and as a token Of
Democratic gratitude, his nomination
and election to the office of Commissioner
of Labor and Public Printer, would be,
to put it mildly, a merited compliment,
creditabe alike to Col. Britt and the
party he has served so well.
Apart from this consideration. he is a
practical printer Of life long experience, a
thorough business man. deservedly popu-
lar among the editors OF the State and
the people alike.

DIED IN BALTIMORE.
Bright and Promising Career Sud-
denly Ended.

Friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin
stephens were shocked last week to
learn that their son Eddie had died in
Baltimore hospital News of the
young mans sickness was known to
but few outside his immediate family
and the announcement of his death
caused all the greter surprise.
Mr.. Stephens was a student in the
dental department of the University
Of Maryland, having gone there last
August. Some weeks ago he began
to suffer intensely with his head, but
it was not until Sunday that he was
brain trouble the disease being rare
one. The patient grew rapidly worse
and an oppertion was determined
upon. Mrs. Stephens was telegraphed
for on Wednesday but the operation
had been performed before she got
there.
DIR. Tiffany, head surgeon of the
Maryland University Hospital, was
the operator and it was entirely sue
cessful. Mr.. Stephens came out in
good shape, his mind perfectly clear
and his spirits cheerful. For time
he appeared to be doing as we'll as
could be expected. When his mother
arrived he was able TO recognize her
but could not speak. About noon
Thursday he died.
Mr.. Stephens was in his goth year.
He was a young man of bright mind
and gave promise of great success in
his chosen profession. He was max
ing very rapid progress in his studies
and stood well in the estimation of
his instructors. His fellow students
esteemed him highly and regarded
him as one Of the most promising
men in his class. He was working
hard for a scholarship which he hoped
to win and it is possible that overtax-
ing his strength brought on the
trouble which ended fatally.
The body was brought to Hender-
son for burial. The funeral was held
from the Episcopal church at 5 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Green,
of Virginia, conducting the service.
The large number of persons present
attested the estimation in which the
family are held and the sympathy felt
for them in this sad bereavement.
The floral tributes were numerous
and appropriate.
