TONIGHT BRINGS TUE ANSWER.

Tonight win bring the answer to the
agitation begun just two years ago to
repeal all the lax divorce laws of
North Carolina The Legislature OF
1903 was asked to repeal these laws,
which had greatly increased the num-
Der OF, divorces. but, though urged by
some of the strongest men in thar
body, the rcr"aling bills failed to pass.
There was great disappointment and
for two years the people have waited
for this Legislature to repeal all the
loose laws.
Have they waited in vain? Mass
meetings have been held, and petit
tons representing nearly half nall
lion people have been read to this Gen
sral Assembly 10 return to the ways OF
the fathers.
Tonight the House will act. ny a
small MA jority. the Judiciary Commit
tee of the House has presented a re-
port adding one or two new causes ios
divorce--offering the petitioners hlc"d
when they ask for stone. But a
large minority Of that committee have
presented a report embodying bin
that r.ncals All laws slncc The Code
and gives a wife as we'll as husband
a divorce foG adultery.
We lool; confidently TO the House to
meet the high expectations of The good
;.eople of this Commonwealth.

Further scattered Liquidation and renewal OF
sJcarish operations by the trading element were
again responsible for lower prices to-day Like on
preceding days definite and substantial motive
was furnished for the rather urgent desire TO sell
stocks. except that the tendency seemed to point
TO lower prices and this naturally had It's 5enti-
mental influence. 1t would seem. however, that the
reaction has pretty fairly discounted any adverse
contingencies in the market and that any
further recession good stocks should be a good
