TO go to there shops and make con-
tracts The Duls amendment allows
exchanges. but not bucket shops.
shMr. Foushec said this twiedllec
and twicdledum, the only difference
being in the names. The amendment
removes speculation. Should the
citizens of North Carolina be refused
the liberty other people enjoy, anu b2
forced TO the alternative of hiring a
private wire? This bill would mean
that the office at Charlotte would be
moved to Spartonburg, s. c., and the
state would lose it while the bust
ness will not be stopped. IL this is
gambling. it is inc OF the specuations

proceed against the gambling and not
against The game.
Mr.. dell said if the manufacturers
and business men of the state should
be punished as the man who goes
into chance for five cents. 1t is not
necessary for manufacturers and
business men to gamble, however.

F.llcr amen lment has been submitted
to several manufacturers and mer-

higher than the word Of man. The
senate should not pass a law giving

1925 of the Code be stricken out and
the following inserted in lieu thereof:
If the husband shall commit forni-

all laws creating any cause for divorce
since the session of 1883 be repealed.
Mr.. Eller said ii was impossible to
enact everything in the civil statutes
proposed. Almost all of the clamof
IN the State in regard to this matter
has been on account of the statute OF
abandonment and the disregard of the

Everything in regard to divorce should
