The Divorce Evil Hit Hard-Stringfeld Keeps
His Seat.

The Divorce Evil Hit Hard-Str1ngheld Keeps
His Seat.
The House gave the divorce mill a
severe shock.
A bill passed all of it's readings
which repeats all of the existing
divorce laws save those in the Code.
If TIE Senate passes this bill there
will be only four grounds for divorce
in this State.
The bill as passed is neither the
Gather measure nor the Craig sub
stitute, but a substitute for the
whole, offered by Mr.. Simms, Of
Wake. 1t is more stringent, if any
thing, than the Gather bill. A hard
fight was made for Mr.. Craig's sub
stjtute, which makes abandonment
for three years Il ground for divorce.
The following is the substitute
offered by Mr.. Simms, which passed
ID it's readings in the House:
The General AsSem6ly Of North
Carolina do enact:
Section /. Thatall statutes amend
ing section 1858 of the Code relative
to granting divorce enacted since the
adoption of the Code be and the same
are hereby repealed.
Sec. ?. That this act shall not APP
ply to pending cases.
Sec. 3. That this act shall be in
force from and after it's ratification.
The following amendment to the
substitute offered by Mr.. Hayes, eff
Chatham, was also Incorporated in
the bill:
Amend the substitute by adding to
section 1: Provided, that my per
sol from whom u divorce has been
obtained or shall be obtained under
any OF the laws hereby repealed may
marry again during the lifetime of
the other upon application to the
court showing, in u regular action,
that his or her wife or husband, as
the case may be, has been divorced

pealed.
