Habitual drunkenness is a direct
cause for divorce in IS states of the

remainder with great justice to wom-
en- who occupy the unfortunate and
hopeless position of the drunkard's
wife. The supreme court of West
Virginia recently decided a case of
this kind in favor of the wife, the
deciding justice saying: "No woman
is compelled to live with that worst
of all brutes-a drunken brute-to
the peril of her health and life."

HOW TO ELECT SENATOR.


Wadesvoro Messenger and Intelligencer
The manner of selecting the Democrat
ic candidate to succeed Senator Pritch-
ard in the Senate is now being discussed
in various quarters. Three methods are
advocated, as follows: First that the
entire matter be left to the Legislature
second, that the candidates be named in
general primary, and third, that the
Democratic State convention name the
candidate. For a number of reasons we
favor the primary plan. In the first place
it is the only plan that will give general
satisfaction, and then, too. it is the most
Democratic way of making the nomina-
ton. The Democratic State platform de-
clares for the election of United States
Senator's by the people, and the primary
certainly comes nearer doing this than
does either of the other plans suggested.
Another excellent reason in favor of
the primary is that the Legislature will
loose at least two weeks. and maybe
more, of it's time if the election is left
to- it without any instructions, whereas
it will take only a part of two days to
dispose of the matter if the people are
allowed to issue their mandate as to who
they want to represent them in the SEN

Gambler, of Georgia, has invited all the
Southern Governors to join in the move

Every Southerner will agree with the
general propositions of this letter. But
It fosters one great mistake. 1t gives
the impression that the plan for such
publishing house is new one and
that the field has not been entered The
contrary is the fact. For several years
