Inebriacv Law Aida Divorce.

A new use for the inebriacy law has
been found in Des Moines. 1t is sus-
pected that the large number of cases
recently filed wherein women accuse
their husbands of being inebriates,
have divorce proceedings In view. A
number Of such cases have tSen
started where 1t is known that Ndi-
vorces are desired. It is found to be
very easy matter to get a man sent
to the state hospital as an inebriate on
the testimony of members Of his fam.
lily and interested persons. Once sent
there the way to divorce is easy.
Where habitual drunkenness is alleged
as ground Or divorce there is some
difficulty in proving it, but judge who
has just sent man to the hospital
under three-year sentence for being
an inebriate would find it hard to re-
fuse divorce to the wife Of the inc
briate.

get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?

The Inland Waterway.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

NOTTOlh A1TSlHldn-I uOt.
According to the dispatches print
ed in the Tirginian-PilOt several days
ago, the engineers named to survey
a route for an inland waterw ay from
Hampton Roads to Beaufort inlet
have reported in favor of an ocean
level canal.
Most people, doubtless, who had
studied the matter from the CONNER
cial, geographical and strategical
points of view felt confident that the
report of the engineers would be in
favor OF the waterway, but the re-
port is none the less gratifying on
that account.
And now comes the tug of war in
securing from Congress the necessary
appropriation for the construction
of the waterway. AS we have
pointed out before, there is likely to
be strong opposition to the making
of the appropriation for the reason
that the committee that will pass on
the bill in the House is dominated by
members from the Great Lakes,
Ohio river and Mississippi river
States.
Nevertheless we believe that if the
Virginia and North Carolina delega-
lions in House and Senate will come
together in a common purpose to
have the waterway cut, will agree
upon a defiuite plan of action, and
then all stand together. the appro-
priation can be secured: because the
facts adduced justify the cutting of
the canal.
But it is necessary that the Con-
gressmen and Senators should have
the determined support of the bust
ness organizations of the two States,
and steps should be taken now to
organize and institute an active
propaganda for the waterway before
the next session of Congress All
useful data should be compiled, liter
allure prepared and arrangements
should be made to keep representa-
tives of the project in Washington
for the legitimate presentation of its
claims SO long as the matter is ac-
lively up.
We have referred to the necessity
OF Virginia and North Carolina Con-
gressmen and Senator'S getting to-
/ gether in this matter only because
these two States are more immedi-
ately interested, but there is in reali-
ty no reason why the support OF all
the Atlantic Seaboard Senators and
Congressman should not be actively
enlisted. AS is we'll known, it is CON
templated that the waterway shall
be extended NOrthward until there
is an inside route almost continuous
through the Atlantic Seaboard
States. And if proper effort shall be
made, VS. see no reason why the CO.
! operation of the Congressional dele.
cations from all these States should
not be brought about. And that
would assure the success of the un
dertaking.

PUBLIC SYMPATHY WITH THEM.

The editor of the Concord Tribune,
who has been to Salisbury since
Thomas and Chalmers White have
been in Jail as a result of shooting
and killing young Sheriff. at Mt
lila, says:
They (the White boys) have friends in
Salisbury and these have done every
thing they could to make the young men
as comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances. Public sentiment is decided
ly with them in Salisbury While all
conservative and law-abiding people de-
plore the occurrence and are hearing all
sides, they are free to express good
wishes for the two young men who in
honor proved the spirit of Southern
manhood, which protects the woman
hood and the helpless of the country.
Several good citizens were heard to say
that Rowan county should return the
White boys to Cabarrus with profound
thanks for having checked the course OF
a libertine.
The White brothers made a good i'm
preston on the people of Salisbury. They
acted so openly, fair and honorable as to
impress the public that they were de-
serving OF profound sympathy in this de-
plOrable occurrence. There is no reason
to believe other than that they were
forced to shoot as last resort. Their
sole purpose at the Sheriff. home was to
argue the matter with him and demand
justice for the ruined girl for whom they
spoke Since her fathers death Tom
White has been the young girls guardian
and the appeal of the helpless girl came
| to him as duty call.
People who know these young mer
know full well that to shirk duty OF
evade an obligation does not agree witt
their nature.
Young Sheriff. was in Salisbury The
day before the shooting He sold severa
horses and other effects, and some hav,
an idea that he was getting ready tt
leave the county until the affair blew
over, as he might hope.
The Sherrills are very prominent PEG
pie. Albert Sheriff., father of the young
man, was the most prominent and veal
thy man in that community.
! While the young man killed was prom
inent and popular, he was a sport
wreckless-one who looked upon womel
| as prey.

The Grand Army and the Statue of
Lee.

Ashoville Citizen.
An IdiaHapolis encampment OF the
Union Veteran Legion, has passed Il
set of resolutions protesting against
the proposal of the State of Virginia
to have statue of Robert f. Lee in
Statuary Hall of the Capitol at
Washington
The resolutions are very volumi-
nous, but the following clipping
gives the gist of their contents and
the burden of their complaint:
"That we feel this great wrong
more keenly, that our own time to
work and to protest is daily drawing
near the close, that we are unwilling
that the children, and the children S
children, who shall i'll time come to
view the statues of those who Wrested
with gigantic difficulties in the max
ing and maintaining of this our be-
loved nation, shall be met with the
incomprehcnsibI action of putting
in the midst OF the statues OF noble,
loyal men and patriots, the statue of
one who deliberately branded himself
as an arch traitor
The term ''traitor' applied to
Robert E. Lee, or any of the soldiers
of the Confederacy is both indefensi-
BILE and ridiculous
If Lee was a traitor, the great
State of Virginia., whose destinieS he
followed. and whose cause as a loyal
son he undertook to defend, was also
n traitor. Ii Virginia was Il traitor
for seeding from the Union, which
she voluntarily Joined and in part
helped to organize, she was also a
traitor when she rebelled against the
mother country and put her sons in
the field to overthrow King George S
rule and dominion. Then, was Wash
ington, and all the rest, and all of us
traitors, and the kettle must not call
the pot black.
The enemies of Lee can Justly say
nothing worse of him than that he
chose to obey the call of his own
State rather than enter the lists in
behalf OF those States which remained
in the Union. Although Lee did not
favor secession he was finally com
PEELED to take up arms either for OF
against Virginia, and he cast his
lot with his brethren and fought fol
the State which had been the home Of
his ancestors for centuries. Was he
wrong? Who can rightfull.v answer!
1t was mOOted question. 1t re
quired four long years of bloodshed
OF hardships and heroic sacrifices, O
fratricidal strife to decide it.
1t was settled by the ancient law
of Trial by Battle"-a law ante
dating civilization-a law of might
rather than right. The same law
settled the revolution the other way
Which was right?
Since the question is settled anC
we are all willing to stand by the set
tlement, does it matter so much any
way? Suppose we now leave it set
tied for all time, and forever cease
condemning the motives of the he
rOes on either side, who so nobl,
gave of their LIES blood for whar
they conceived to be right.
Let Virginia honor her Lee just al
she would have the nation honor he
Washington; and let charity an(
brotherly love invoke silence upol
all who cannot share in her paterna
devotion to Il loyal son.

THE WOMAN AND THE DOG.
A Nauseating Spec,acle-And "There
are Others"

Wade II. Harris in Charlotte Observer.
Nobody who goes to Blowing Rock
this summer will fail to hear about
the woman and the dog. 1t is a
most remarkable case, unbelieved eX-
cept that it has been seen OF all peO-
pie there The woman has a young
baby which she has never had in her
arms. She has never touched her in
FAINT but commits it solely and en-
tirely to the care Of a nurse. She
has a dog, common yellow cur,
which she calls "Darling,' and which
is her constant companion. She
takes the dog out walking and driv-
ING and fondles it publicly, address,
ing it in the most endearing terms.
She came down the mountain Tues
day on the home trip. She and the
dog and hubby had the rear seat in Il
surry. The nurse with the poor,
neglected little baby, sat by the
driver. The woman carried a pillow
for dOggie to rest on and a bowl
from which to drink. At every stop
the dog was watered and led about
lOf exercise, lllc woman anu her nus
band being Indifferent to the jeers of
people in the other vehicles, all of
whom were familiar with the story of
the woman's infatuation for the dog
and neglect OF her baby. Come,
Darling, get in she said, as she
picked up the yellow cur in her arms
and deposited him in the seat of the
carriage again. | looked at the
front seat The nurse was holding
the little baby in her arms and the
hot sun was beaming in its face,
which was grimy and dusty, and
water was streaking in pitiful little
streams down its cheeks. 1t was
perhaps hungry; certainly it was
fearfully tired and consumed with
heat. 1t had not been noticed by
its mother-had not even been given
a drop of water during the long tire
some ride, while doggie had been
petted and fondled, held on a pillow
in his mistress lap, and given water
from bowl at every stop. | was
looking at the little baby when ]
saw her pick up the dog and call it
"Darling,' and-pardon the inele
