The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1905-04-27

Its spiritual power Is dynamic through
the constructive force of faith In divine
and human righteousness as controlling
elements of the best national progress.
No purely material interests have ever
found standing ground in the conference
eonvocations. Personal ambitions have
not ventured to intrude upon its borders.
It has no fads to promote, no patronage
to dispense, no friends to reward no
enemies to punish, no bounty of popular
applause to bestow, no compensations to
award save such as may come to its indi-
vidual servants and helpers in the effort
of the enrichment OF other lives through
social betterment by the means of higher
intelligence.
Character of Conference.
'''nhe character of the conference has
already been considered at some length.
but to answer the requests for informa-
ton some historic facts are needed. 1t
passed the three earlier years of its life
in the calm and beautiful repose of Ca
pom Springs Earnest spirit, strong express
sion and large intelligence marked the as
semblies of these early years. but the
conditions were rather academic than ag
gressive. Nevertheless the seed that was
sown there fell upon prepared ground,
took deep root, and later brought forth
mncn tfult. WITH the tOurtn year at
Winston-Salem the conference found
itself The ringing words of Curry. Dab
ney. Dickerman. Ayeock. McIver and 9TH
ers. presented a panorama of appealing
conditions that kindled flame of earn
estness which burns with more warmth
and brillance each passing year. At
Winston Salem in 1901 the thought of the
southern education board took form. In
November of that year it was created un-
der most interesting circumstances. Six
of the eight original members were south
ern men by birth or residence. BY simple
and forceful methods a systematic cam
paign for education was inaugurated that
stretched from the Potomac to beyond the
Mississippi and from the Ohio to the sea-
board This board has no money to give.
1t is simply the evangel of the public
school. carrying forward persistently a
to awaken in the minds especially of
rural communities. a knowledge of educa-
tional needs longing for improved con-
ditions and willingness to pay by contri-
button taxation, or both, for the advan-
tages which are the right of American
childhood. In this appeal no voice other
than that of southern men has been heard
prominent among the errors Is the no.
ton that the conference makes appropria-
tions for the aid of education. The confer
ence has always been insolvent. Never
owned a dollar If its debts were paid It
lives upon the bounty of it's friends and
its hosts Therefore the oft repeated story
of its gifts is inaccurate in all respects

Tribute to DR.. Curry.

Grateful for welcome and hospitality
some people from the north have attend
ed the conferences from year to year.
Out of the associations thus formed have
grown sweet social ties that have broad
ened sympathes, enriched lives, and
moulded sentiment for noble aims. But
It is entirely mistaken notion that this

NEW DIVORCE LAW.
All Lax Legislation Was
Repealed.
The Present Act is a Better Law Than
the Law as It Existed When
the Code Was
Adopted.

No action of the General Assembly
will meet with greater approval than
it's record with reference to the di-
vorce question. Since the Code of
1888, in order to meet cases of special
hardship, several new causes of di-
vorce have been added, and successive
statutes granting divorce for abandon
ment, have multiplied until the righte-
Gus public sentiment of the State was
aroused. During the past year near
ly every religious body in the State
had declared in favor of repeating all
lax laws, and the legislation enacted
the Legislature nobly responded to the
just demand of the people.
OF course there were varying opin-
ions as to the exact way to secure the
reform needed. and the bill that be-
came a law was substantially the law
that had been advocated by all the
opponents of lax laws. The Stewart
and the Graham bills only went back
to the Code. The McNinch bin differ
ed in that it gave a woman a divorce
for the same cause for which man
can obtain a divorce. The bill that
was adopted contains a provision that
is middle ground between the two, Of
fered in the House by Mr.. Biggs, of
Durham, and in the Senate by Mr..
Filler, of Forsyth as substitute for
the McNinch bill which passed the
House FPL IJo,,ea oo,,o,,rra5 apd the
Eller substitute became the law.
There was an earnest fight to Sc
cure one or more new causes for di-
vorce and there was no little senti-
clause, but the sentiment was so
strong for repeal of all laws since 1883
and for stringent laws that the fight
on the floor of both houses waged only
posed by Mr.. McNinch should be
adopted or to go back to the Code.
Heretoforel the fight has been unsuc-
cessfully waged against more lax laws.
The success of the fight for better
divorce laws shows thatswhen aroused
the moral sentiment of North Carolina
is more powerful than anything or any
other forces in the State.
The New Law,
Here is the full text of the new
law:
