pecially upon the meaning OF the
words David was man after God
own heart" Senators Henderson and
Justice varied in their construction, but
both wound up with a mutual agree
ment that the other was thoroughly
conscientious and with expressions of
personal regard.
Senator Justice opened the debate by
referring TO his remarks Of yesterday.
SINCE the Bible expressions on the sub
ject had been mainly discussed, he call
ed attention TO the fact that Jesus never
said what penalty any government ut
any time should nfiict upon a Violator
of his law. Christ told the man who
came TO him that il was wrong for him
to put away his Wife FOR any cause eX-
ccpt that one in the Mosaic law but he
never declared in any way the earthly
penalty for such wrong The Master
did say, however, MY Kingdom is not
Of this world" and render unto Caesar
the thin@s that are Caesars" II have
seen books entitled What Would Jesus
DO as an Editor, or Senator, or in va
rious other professions" and they are
repulsive TO me. # the title read What
Would Jesus Have Me Do?' ii would be
very different matter. Our Saviour
rules in the heart and thus governs the
acts"
Senator Justice believed that the
amendment proposed did not allow a
man to put his wife away, but simply
provided that where a man has already
put his wife away for three years, that
she shall not suffer for his wrong The
speaker was against divorces and had
voted in the Legislature of 1897 and 1899
against making two and one years
abandonment, respectively, ground for
divorce. He thought this bill right and
would put North Carolina on record
against divorces but on the ground of
public policy and justice he would sup
port the amendment granting the Wo-
men who had been divorced three years
- or to January 1st last, grounds for

SENATOR BROUGHTON'S SPEECH.
Senator Brou@hton favored the bill
just as it came from the House, because
he believed that it conform I'd most near
ly tc the Bible. These are perhaps new
times, an age of electricity and inven-
tion, hut il these times forsake the old
Bible Of our forefatherS, then these
times" make q fatal blunder Christ
made onl,- two declarations on the sub
iect of divorce, the first was Matthews
<, CHAPTER 31st verse. They are one
flesh and what God hath Joined together
let no man put asunder." The second
declaration says that man who puts
away his wife except for adultery and
marries again then he commits adultery.

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., February e.
Through the efforts of Congressman
| Dovener the delegation from the
Wheeling Board of Trade obtained an
extended hearing before the House
committee on public buildings this
morning in behalf of the bill now
pending in the House providing for
the erection of a federal building in
Wheeling.
The delegation was headed by Sec
rotary S. A. Thompson, of the Board
of Trade, who was accompanied by
]. J. Holloway, Walter H. Rinehart, j.
c.. Brady and George Wise.
These gentlemen were given full OPP
portunity by Chairman Mercer, of the
House committee, to put arguments in
behalf of Wheeling's project, which
they did orally. The inadequacy OF
the present structure, its dilapidated
condition, the increasing amount oil fed
eral business in Wheeling, together
with statistics showing that Wheeling
pays a million dollars or more in fed
eral taxation, were effectively present
ed to the committee.
Chairman Mercer was assured that
all opposition to that provision OF the
bill relating to the purchase of new
site had disappeared and that the
Wheeling delegation, as well as the
PEOPLE of Wheeling were unanimously
in favor of the bill in its present form.
Chairman Mercer asked a number OF
questions regarding the need for FED.
eral building and the possibility OF
securing an eligible site, all OF which
were satisfactorily answered.
Although no positive assurances were
given by Chairman Mercer, the Wheel
ing delegation left the committee room
much encouraged.
I'VE feel sure" said Postmaster
Wise. that the committee will report
the bill favorably probably some time
next week. We made out strong case
and evidently impressed the commit
tee, as there were no manifestations OF
opposition on their part. AS to get
ting the bill through the House, that is
another matter
Capt. Dovener also felt much en-
couraged over the prospect of favor
able report, and promised to do all in
his power to secure the passage of the
bill through the House, although it is
we'll understood that Speaker Hender-
son is opposed to the passage of any
public building bills at this session.
The Wheeling bill is in favorable
position, having already passed the
Senate. 1t appropriates 100000 for
the purchase of a site and the erection
of building thereon, and provides for
the sale of the present federal building
and Site The Secretary of the treas
ury is to determine the location of the
new building.
The Wheeling delegation left for
home at s o'clock tonight.
