MANY DIVORCE CASES
Matrimonial Woes Will Burden
Court During Next
Term.
THE LAWS ARE DEFECTIVE

twenty-five divorce cases docketed
for hearing during the October term of
court, will be carried over to the jan
uary term, SO the divorce question will
be one of the foremost to confront the
court during the coming term.
There is a growing tendency among
the people Of Wayne county to settle
petty domestic quarrels in the divorce
courts. Many men and women alike,
have been chatting beneath the yoke of
married life. Many cases are filed on
ridiculous complaints, which, when
sifted by the divorce court mill, are
found to be without ground and, in
some instances, are the direct result of
a mutual understanding between the
parties affected, to discontinue their
marital relations.
The court is puzzled and the minis
tiers of Richmond are guessing. They
| have preached against the practice,
| but there seems to be no remedy to
| stop the many suits that are filed. As
long as there are laws which make II
| comparatively, easy to secure divorce
decree from the courts, just so long
will they be filed, is the opinion of 10
| cal attorneys.

the one hundredth anniversary of the

The proposed exposition will run
for several weeks, during the latter

For the best scores made on the

with 22S. Mr.. Lichtenfels did not
find himself in the same predicament
as did his more successful winner. He

POLITICAL EXlLES RETURN
CASTRo'S VICTIMS, MANY OF
WHOM HAVE BEEN IN CHAINS,
ARE GIVEN WELCOME BY THE
DUTCH.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Dec.
2s.-The United States battle ship
Maine and the armoured cruiser North
Carolina, have arrived here enroute to
La Guaira, Venezuela After coaling
in this port they will continue their
voyage.
On board the cruiser is W. I. Blu
chanan, special commissioner of the
United States to Venezuela.
Political exiles are returning to Ca
racas at the summons of President
Gomez, who, in order to unite all par
ties and factions in Venezuela, has or
| dered the prisons to be cleared and has
| invited those long since banished from
the country to come back.
The steamship Zuela arrived here
from Maracaibo with eighteen former
political prisoners aboard. Among
! the number were several who had been
as long as eight years in letters
Gen. Bello, the commander of FIT

stated that number of criminals were
liberated at that place at the sac tame
the political prisoners were given then
freedom, but later 1t was found neces
sary to tmprison them again.
Exiies Given Ovation.
The Zuela left here for La Guairs
with the exiles, who represent all pc
htical parties. They were given ar
enthusiastic ovation by the people o.
Curacao and before their departure
were presented with a paper bidding
them adieu on behalf of the entire pop
ulation. In this document it was stat
ed that only one man was the enemy o
the exiles and Of Curacao and he hat
now lost his prestige.
Gen. Gregorio Riera, who for ,
number of years has been working
here in conjunction with the revolu
tionists against President Castro, join
ed the exiles on the Zuela and is nov
on his way to Caracas. He issued
statement in reply to the people O
Curacao, thanking them for the atten
tions bestowed upon him and declaring
that they could consider him always a
the best friend of Curacao.
People See Peace.
, Latest advices from Caracas stat

ed by Gomez, is excellent. The ne,
presidents policy has been directe
toward repairing the injustice suffere
by the people of the interior, and in es
