was brought to the state hospital
fer the insane here last night
from Sampson county. The Holi-

against this sect is developing and
some are advocating legislation

ting divorces. Tim Brown, Indi-
an, has filed suit in the circuit
court to secure divorce from his
squaw. This is the first case on
record in the county clerks Of
fee, where an Indian has begun
divorce proceedings.'
That others intend following in
Bro Sn's footsteps is shown by
the following incident that oc-
Cured few days ago. A full
blooded Indian walked into the
county clerks office and asked
to see the record of the marriage
license issued to Frank Isaacs
some five years ago. The clerk
showed him the record in ques-
tion. He looked at it for a few
moments, then said: "How much
him costs. I want to buy him
back"
Upon questioning him it was
learned that Frank Isaaes-desired
divorce from his squaw. The
method of procedure was ex-
planned to the brave, but he ex-
pressed disgust at the white mans
complicated method.-Klamath

Jude Winston, of Durham, says
that if the deed to your house is
in your wife's name and the in
surance policy in your name, you
cannot recover a penny in case
you lose by fire. If you have a
mortgage or deed of trust on your
house and lot and fail to state
this to the insurance company,
you cannot recover a penny. If
you have no deed to your house
and lot, and fire occurs, you
cannot recover. The insurance
adjuster fits from place to place,
hunting for records in the court
house that will knock people out
of insurance. If he can find any
defect in the papers you are a
"goner." People do know
these things, and they better see
how they stand.

obligated themselves to- pay for

other being that they are guilty,
that circumstantlaI evidence is

that some subtle poison was used.
