LAWNS OF MARRIAGE AND
DIVORCE.

A great deal is being said of late on
the divorce question, especially since
:ke decisions of the highest courts hat
a divorce is not valid in the state OF
residence of a person who goes to an
other state n secures uch a divorce
upon only a temporary residence n
then returns to the state Of his former
citizenship. This makes a divorce
valid in one state and invalid in an
other. Under these decisions there
will soon begin to arise grave ques-
tions of the legitimacy of children n
he title to estates. The same prin-
ciple applies to marriages between
certain classes Of people who go into
another state to have performed the
marriage contract in order to evade
The more stringent restrictions in the
laws Of their own state. There should
be uniform laws of marriage n d.
vorce for all the states; SO what is a
lawful marriage or a valid divorce in
state may be so in all others.
There is a steadily increasing de-
nand all owe the country for uni
formity in these laws. The question
is how to get it. Such legislation, We
should think, is not within the juris-
diction Of the federal government.
There is no clause in the constitution
which can be stretched to cover the
matter-even by those loose conStruc-
tionists who deny that the constitu-
ton follows the flag and who hold to
the absurd proposition that congress,
the creature of the constitution, has
the power to say when and where the
constitution shall be in force.
The only safe and proper way to Sc
cure a uniform law of divorce is to
base the statue upon the divine law.
Let each state return to the law of
divorce as laid down in the Bible and
refuse to enlarge upon them.

Goldsboro, N. c., August At is
stated here on good authority that the
| Atlantic Hotel, at Morehead City, will
be kept open this year until the first of
October. The hotel has had the best
season this year in the history of that
famous summer resort, which can be
accounted for in no other way than
that the improvements before the be-
ginning Of the present season give
| guests all the comforts to be obtained
in any first class MOTEL. 1t is under
stood that the decision to keep the no
tel open until October 1st was made
because Of several requests from prom
inent guests who desire to finish out
the warm season at such a comfortable
and pleasant summer home.

there came up a case in which the de-

live together ana work in the tobacco
sternmeries in his city. Some days
aSo, according 10 the evidence, Brown
gave Jennie some money to keep for
him. Yesterday he was drinking and
went home and demanded the money,
which his refused. Brown
picked up a brick, the negro's favorite
weapon outside of the razor, and would
have struck the woman had she not
ran into him. He grabbed her and bit
her severely several times on the face,
infictirg ugly wounds from which the
blood flowed fercely. In court this
morning the woman's face was badly
swollen and she was suffering much

ed by the canal, to defray the expense
of building the canal. The commission
ers of Wayne county yesterday repeal

Twenty Claims at

$4,000.

from San Francisco and closed the larg-
est actual mining deal that has been re-
corded in Humboldt county, Nevada,
for several years. Tho transaction in
volviug twenty claims and a considera-
ton of $4,000. Of which purchase price
a substantial cash payment was made

facturer, and George p. Scliober, a
wooden manufacturer, who, after a crit
ical personal examination OF the property
aud the inspection Of smelter returns
amounting 10 several thousand dollars,
decided to purchase the property. The
splendid gold values of the ore ranging
from $40 to 500 per ton along with S12
10 sl5 per ton 10 silver proved to be the
attractive feature OF the property.
Mr.. Vadner who served his time under
the tutor-ahip OF the late Marcus DAILY,
at the Anaconda smclters, Montana, has
been retained as Superintendent Of the
company's entire holdings, with orders
to spare no expense in opening up the
company's domain in the most approved
fashion.
1t is the company's intention OF pro-
vidiug the property with a splendid
plant in the future. In the meantime
the high grade ores wiz be shipped to
Salt Lake and the low-grade ores kept
at the mine.
Mr.. vadner has put twelve men TO
work and as soon as bunk-room can be
provided the force will be increased to
fifty.
Tho outlook for Kennedy at the pres
ent is very bright and the possibilities
that it might be one of Nevada's large
gold producers are very assuring.
