the nomination for himself, join forces
with Governor Hughes or some other
candidate for the sole purpose of de-
feating Mr.. Taft. He would rather see
any one of the candidates nominated
than the latter, and, no doubt, his en-
ergies will now be exerted to secure
his defeat, let the successful candidate
be who he may. That Is the kind OF
war he wages in politics and as he is

New Hanover has only four terne
OF criminal court a year. two Of one

These courts come the latter pert cf
the months OF January. March. Ja!r
and September. On account Of :,iness
in the family OF the Judge now riding
this circuit the January term OF cri-
r,:pal court was not held. The las; err

the only one since last July. vas n

There are prisoners now III lail who
were bound over to court 5ust after
the September term adjourned. The
prisoners in jail now are the results
of work of the mayors AMI magis-
trates' courts for more than feu
months excepting some who were in
Jail before the September term and
whose cases were>continued.

bare statement Of the number of pri-

is not fair to her people to publish
statements calculated to give their city
a reputation for excessive amount ci
lawle ssness and crime which is en-
tirely undeserved and which can be sc
easily explained by the statement

subject of the holding of a peace con
gress here. It's gibes do not hurt, and
il is welcome to get of as many of the
kind on our people as it pleases. OF
the selection of this city as the place
of meeting for the congress it says:
There isn't better place in the
world for the holding of a peace con-
ference than in Wilmington, N. G.
Its very atmosphere is redolent of
peace and brotherly affection. There
is nothing of turmoil, and high finance
and the selling Of gold bricks in Will
mington. When a man in that city
holds out his hand and says, "Howdy;
l am delighted to see you," he means
precisely what he says, and you can
hand him your watch and purse in
perfect safety. Wilmington is great
big village, filled with great big heart
ed people who impart the generosity
and candor of their disposition to all
of those with whom they come in con-
tact. If a peace conference in Will
nington caught the spirit of the ma
tives and it's conclusions could be
made binding. there would never be
war IN this world between civilized
peoples. All disputes would be set

A REMtRKABLE CASE.

The constitution of this state forbids
the legislature granting 1ivorces in in
dividual cases. The legislature at it's
special session passed bill which eth
er violated that clause of the constitu-
ton or legalized case of polygamy-
unintentional polygamy, it is true on
the part of the persons involved. 1t
was one of the most remarkable pro-
ceedings on the part of a state legis-
lature recorded in the history of this
country.
A married woman named Davis was
deserted by her husband some years
ago. After hearing nothing from him
fol four or five years she concluded
he was dead and married man named
Rydehour. Not long ago the first
husband returned. For the woman's
relief the legislature rassed bill legal
izing her second marriage. If this ac-
ton did not work a divorce from the
first husband, which is prohibited by
the constitution, then the woman has
two legal husbands now living il the
act legalizing the second marriage is
va4'd Ths legislature in that act did
che of two things, neither of which
il had the constitutional power to do

case or legalized case of pelygamy.
That action on the part Of the legis-
lature was a most dangerous perce lent

innocently placed herself in a most
| unfortunate and distressing position
and was deserving Of the deepest sym
pathy; but that is no reason why the
! legislature should have violated the ex-
| press mandate of the state consti-
tuition.
