IS DIVORCED FROM "HOLY JUMPER. /"

DANvILLE, Va, May IS.--In
the Corporation Court to-day.
Judge A NJ Aiken presiding. two
unhappy wives were granted d.
vorces from erring husbands.
They were Mrs. Sallie w. Hall
from Marshall Hall and Mrs.
Mary Mamie Tate from Wallice
Tate. In neither suit did husband
appear to fight the proceedings.
Marshall Hall will be remem-
bered as one of the leaders of the
Holy Jumpers" a queer band of
religious enthusiasts. whose DEM
onstrations on the public streets
caused considerable attention.
and resulted in several of the
band being placed in Jail for crea-
ting a disturbance, Hall was con-
tinually in the limelight and. like
his followers. declared that he
was pure from sin and evil, Some
years ago his name was connected
with a fight in the Tenderloin dis
trict, and shortly afterwards he
left the city. Later he was in
dicted by the grand jury for en-
bezzling the funds Of his employ
er, and is now a fugitive from jus
tlce. His presents whereabouts
are unknown.
Mrs. Hall, in her bill of COM
plant, declared that her maiden
name was Miss SalIic Banks,
and that she was married
to Marshall Hall September
%, 1898. and that in De-
cember. 1904, he wiltuIy deserted
and abandoned her. leaving her
and their two children without
means of support. She also
charged that while they lived to-
gether he frequently abused her
and would remain away from
home visiting other women. The
court awarded Mrs. Hall the Gus
tody OF the two children, one a
boy OF eight years and the other
a girl aged five years.
Mrs. Tate, in her bill OF COM

She charged that he deserted her

THE PRIMARY.

Poor fellow If he has any loss
the burning sensation must poster
hin fearfully. for day in and day
ont and week ia and week out.
without hardly an exception, the
hundreds of newspapers through
out the State are after him one
way or another. while we look on
and wonder where we are at"
Yes, we frankly confess we are
lost-in the whirlwind of brilliant
writings from our brothers-of-the-
Quill and to bless us we could not
800 YOU this moment where we
stand ON the question. It's true
when the primary plan was first
Sprung III on us we took to it be-
cause 1t looked good, but since
rubbing up against it we have, in
part. changed our opinion; /. e.
Ne think It has one good feature
along with many bad ones. i;
cannot be denied. it seems 10 US,
mat iLEis breeder of party dis
cord, ard no people have felt this
more keenly than those of this
Senatorial District. Now, We
favorers of the primary. don't
80 SO up iii the air " over this re-
g!latll,; 1t is fact and we refrain
from producing the argument to
prove II only. because the doing
50 would freshen up old sores
made by the primary of one year
ago. Again! it is Objectionable
because it brings about two many
election days and many of the
voters, who do not keep so well
posted, get the two mixed and
they frequently miss one or the
other of the two on this account.
Again it is expensive, as is evil
'denCed by the fact that one of
the. candidates in the last Guber-
material contest spent over
$IS. 900 and then missed the lob.
But a small part of this went as

things too numerous TO mention.
Had he secured the nomination It
would have necessitated the ex-
penditnre of about this much
more money to defeat the Repub-
lican nominee. We mean by this
that it costs as much money to
conduct a campaign in the gem
-eral election as it does in the pri-
mary when opposition IS up; at
least it is reasonable to suppose
that it does. and if this does not
make the primary a very expen-
:sive luxury CD then we give it up.
On the other hand. and as we
have before said. the primary has
one good feature-a most excel
lent one. indeed; it gives every
voter voice in the selection of
the nominee of his party. and
that, as we understand X. is all
that is claimed for the system.
his is truly saying a great deal
IN favor of the primary. We like |
Ane idea OF the people. all of the
people being given a hearing on
A'i matters concerning them, but
ior the life of us we cannot settle
IN our mind whether the primary
with its good and bad features
should live or die in Virginia

PLA1N-SPoKEN PASTOR OUT.
Clergyman Said Church Was Ruled
bv Arrogant Boss.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, September -
The resignation of the Rev. DR.. Frank l..
Goodspeed was read in the First Congre-
gational Church yesterday. DIR. Good
speed had a salary OF $1,000. his church
being one of the largest and Weathiest OF
the denomination in the state. 1t is I'M
derstood that DR.. Goodspeeds resignation
is the result of pressure on the part OF In
fluential parishioners.
The relations between the pastor and
individual members of the church have
been strained for some time, principally
because of feeling engendered by Dr.
Goodspeeds insistence upon speaking his
opinion boldly. In May DR.. Goodspeed
delivered a radical discourse. in which he
asserted that the church was ruled by a
boss, and that oftentimes the church boss
was both arrogant and ignorant. and en-
tirely lacking In the better qualities OF
some political bosses 1t Is understood
that this sermon was the last straw
DIR. Goodspeeds letter of resignation. a
decidedly interesting document. states
that he does not care to continue the
work of the church single-handed." 1t is
said that a split in the First Church,
which was organized in 1886 may result
if DIR. Goodspeed's resignation is &C.
cepted.

CALLS HUGHES GREAT MAN.
DR.. Macarthur Says Leaders CAM
Refuse to Renominate.

NEW YORK. September THE Rev.
DR.. Robert s. Macarthur spoke on
Morals and Politics" before the Current
Events class yesterday at the Calvary
Baptist Church. He took occasion to
commend In high terms the adninistra-
ton Of Gov. Hughes. After paying trib.
ute to the executive ability of Gov. John
son Of Minnesota and Gov. Folk Of Mis-
souri,, he said:
We do not have to go any further
than our own state to find a man who
has fought vigorously in behalf of the
moral issue. Our own executive, Charles
Evans Hughes, offers the most striking
example of what man Of moral force
can accomplish in public matters.
Gov Hughes is good man. a courage
our man, in fact. q great man. In this
state We recognize that. but outside our
state his work is known. His speech yes
terday at Youngstown has gone ringing
through the country. 1t Is g remarkable
speech. and will be one Of the greatest of
the whole campaign. 1t Is particularly
important because OF its high moral tone.
its spirit Of loyalty and its common sense.
In the face Of it the republican leaders Of
this state dare not refuse to renominate
him for governor"
