FIGHT ON NEW CANON
Such Division That it is Believed the
Matter Will Have to be Left
For a Future Con-

Settle.
(By the Associated Press.)


Boston, Mass. Oct. ia marked
division of sentiment regarding the
proposal to prevent the re-marriage
Of the innocent party to divorce
during the life of the former part
ner. developed at today's session OF
the House of Deputies of the Episco-
pal General Convention. The House
discussed the issue all day and many
vehement addresses were MADE Dy
both sides.
Several prominent delegates ex-
pressed the opinion tonight that in
view of the great difference of opin-
ion the present convention would not
act on the matter, but would, like its
predecessor, refer the problem to the
next triennial convention.
commotion was caused by John
C. Buxton. of Winston. n. c., who at
tempted to link the divorce evil with
the liquor question. Mr.. Buxton is
the deputy who. on the opening daY
of the convention, attempted to read
resolution censuring Bishop Henry {,
Potter, of New York. for opening the
subway saloon. In this remarks to-
day he expressed the opinion that it
would be better for the church to curb
the liquor traffic before changing the
canons on marriage. Continuing. he
was saying:
eff instead Of n high official of the
church lending his influence to the
dedication of saloons, when he was
interrupted by a point of order. Mr..
Buxton was admonished by the chair
man. Still he attempted TO make
some further reference indirectly TO
the subway tavern, but was promptly
called 10 order by the chairman. The
| time limit of the morning session eX-
| pired before Mr.. Buxton could con-
t;nue.
James Mcconnell. of New Orleans,
! opposed the adoption of the new

Gods name" he declared. how can
a church legislate to take away the
| protection of the innocent. What
right has any one to change the mean
! ingS OF the words in s.. Matthews
| gospel? Where is the man to explain
| away the written word of the Son of
| God himself?"
Rev. T. ]. Beard, Of Birmingham,
| Ala, was opposed to the adoption OF
! The proposed canon because it COM
| promised the church as p teacher.
George Foster eabody, of Brook

| the present canon should be voted
! down as the church was evidently
emphatically divided on the issue.
| The debate was put over until to-
| morrow.
The House of Bishops today pre-
scented the archbishop of Canterbury
with a silver loving cup. The Eng

LABORERS SCARCE.
Some EdgecOmbe Farmers Fear They
Cannot Harvest All Their Crops.
(Tarboro Southerner.)


The problem of housing their crops
is becoming acute with large major
ity of the farmers. The fields are
white with cotton which opens faster
than the pickers can gather it.
Now the peanut crop is upon the
farmers with pressing imDeratiVeness.
Prices for picking have advanced
without much increase in the number
of pickerS in three weeks
Peanut gatherers are not to be had
for any price. One farmer offered a
dollar a day and board for about a
dozen persons to gather his peas, but
got none. His peas are the Virginia
variety. The best are left on the
ground when the vines are dug. lie
can get no one to gather these. The
consequence is that the ground is
white with them.
Farmers must make up their mind
to one fact that harvest times makes
patent: With improved machinery a
farmer can plant and cultivate more
than the present supply of labor can
gather. A cotton picker that will
pick must be invented. more labor
brought here. or there must be
curtailment in crop acreage.
Many farmers can be heard to
gravely express the fear that the win
ter cold and storms will find large
portion of their crops still In the
fields ungathered.
