OLD DIVORCE LAWS.
Prof. Harper Of Chicago Translates :
Code Effective 1000 Years Ago.

CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-"Graft,' brib-
ance in office, domestic troubles anG
divorce courts are not new things il
the world. They have afflicted The
children of men for 1000 years at least
Hammurabi, King of Babylon in
$3.50 B. c., recognized these evils and
drew up a code of laws providing for
the punishment of "grafters,' bribers
quack doctors, incompetent building
commissioners, carleSS oil inspectors,
dishonest judges, wives who talked too
nsuch and husbands who beat their
wives too often
Professor Robert Francis Harper of
the University of Chicago, is authori-
ty for these statements. TRANSACTIONS
of the code of Hammurabi have been
made by the professor which are now
published for the first time in the
American Journal of Semitic Lang
uages and Literature. published from
the university of Chicago press.
Punishment for Bribers.
Said Hummurabi in his code: IF a
man in a case offers as a bride, grain
or money. to the witnesses, he shall
bear the sentence passed in that case"
About unwise judges, he ruled: If
a judge pronounces a judgment and de-
livers verdict duly signed and seal
ed and afterWard alters his judgment,
they shall eXpel him from his seat of
judgment and with the judges he shall
not take his seat
Seemingly Hammurabi had some
trouble with his building commission
ers also. as the following law indi-
Gates: IF a builder builds a house
for a man and does not make its con-
struction firm and the house which he
death of the owner of the house, that
builder shall be put to DEATH
Old Divorce Law.
The code also had a good deal to
say concerning the grounds for di-
vorce If a woman" reads the code,
hates her husband, and says thou
shalt not have me- they shall inquire
into her antecedents for her defects;
and if she has been careful wife and
is without reproach and her husband
has been going about and greatly be-
lifting her, the woman has no blame.
She will receive her presents and
shall go to her fathers house. If she
has not been a careful wife, has CAD
ded about, has neglected her house
and belittled her husband, they shall
throw that woman into the water"
Hammurabi was a contemporary of
Abraham. He was the sixth king of
the first Babylonian dynasty. He is
spoken of in the old Testament, Gene
sis III, and is called Amraphel. His
code of laws remained the basis of
Babylonian and Assyrian law until the
fall of both empires.
The code of Hammurabi was found
in the winter of 1902 by the French
research expedition at Susa. Assyro-
logists consider that no monument of
antiquity has ever been discovered of
greater Importance than this code.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH

The life of food is the fat
within 1.-THE more fat the
more real benefit from the
food; that is why cod liver
oil is a powerful builder of
flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion of pure
cod liver oil solves the prob
lem of how to take cod liver
oil. That is one reason why
doctors have been prescrib-
ing SCOTS Emulsion for all
wasting diseases, coughs, colds
and Bronchitis for almost
thirty years.
One of the inducements
offered in order to substitute
something else for SCOTS
Emulsion is the matter of
cost. You save a few cents
at the expense of your health.
SCOTS Emulsion costs more
because it does more and does
it better than the substitutes.

Senator Henry c. Hansbrough OF
North Dakota seems to be leader OF
the forces opposed to a repeal of the
three land acts. He will be seconded
by the senators and congressman from
Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana and
other grazing states.
At the rate the public domain is
being absorbed by the cattle and lum-
Der companies, it will be but five years
when not an acre will remain in the
governments possession. 1t is also
discovered by the governments fores-
try division that, at the present rate
of reckless and wasteful numbering, it
will take but forty years to destry
every foot Of timber in the United
States.

ZoIa's Residence PiIIaued.

PARIS, Nov. 19.-On the opening OF
her residence at McDan, which had
been closed for some months, Madame
lola this morning found the place en-
tirely empty. Thieves had carted away
the furniture bric-a-brac and the
curiOs, which the novelist had spent a
lifetime in collecting. There is no
clue to the thieves.

Many We're Killed.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. l8.-An acct
dent bulletin, just issued by the in
terstate commerce commission, gives
an account of railroad accidents in
the United States for the three
months ending September 80, 1902,
and shows that during that quarter
there were 263 persons killed and
2.613 injured in train accidents.
Other kinds of accidents. including
those sustained by employees while
at work and by passengers getting
on or off cars, etc., brought the to-
tai number of casualties up to IL,
OH, being $50 killed and'11, 81 in
jured.
The bulletin shows derailment in
which twenty-one passengers were
killed, and a collision of work trains
in which thirteen employees were
killed Except in connection with
these two items there is no apparent
reason for an increase in the totals
other than in thu well-known fact
that during the three months now
under consideration the traffic o a
large majority of the railroads has
been heavier than ever before, which
necessitat the employment of new
men for service In train and yard
work The total number of coils
ions and derailments was 2.44S, of
which ], 444 were collisions and L.
OO4 derailments, of which 81 coils
ions and 90 derailments affecting
passenger trains The damage tc
cars, engines. and roadway. by these
acct Tents amounted 50, 1885, l2.

Obituary.

Mr.. James Cox died at the home
of his son, Mr.. J. ii. Cox, Jan. 10,
1908. He was born in Bedford
County, Aug. 25, 1924, and mar,
ried Miss Charlotte Temple Horn
April 25, 1914. He was a strong
mem Der Of the Baptist Church at
Salisbury, Tenn. During the past
year he had not been strong enough
TO attend church regularly, but he
took much interest in the cause.
His death came as the triumph of
a great faith. He was aware for
months before that the end was
near and he often expressed a desire
for it to come early. His heart
throbbed with hope immortal and
his faith was ravished with the
vision of the cleaning "crown of
righteousness" What loss to the
community, to his sorrowing fami-
ly, and to the church. He was bu-
ried in New Hope Cemetery near
his old b ,me in Benton County.
Eight children survive him. Bro.
IVA. West conducted the services.
His sorely bereft children are COM
forted by the evidences he left that
his spirit was conveyed by angelic
visitants TO the paradise of God.
