REGULAR EXTRA SESSION.

An exchange says that after the ad-
iournment of every session of the leg
islature it is found that errors have
been committed in the drafting of bills
which were not detected at the time
of ratification of such bills and that
there has to be a wait of two years
to have such errors corrected; but be-
cause of this extra session such long
wait did not have to be made. This
being an undisputed fact, does it not
suggest the idea that there should be
an extra session following close on
the adjournment of each regular bien-
nial session, called for the special
purpose and it's business restricted to
the correction of mistakes made at the
regular session. This would save a
great deal OF lingering mental an
guish to parties interested in the bills
III which mistakes had been made and
might help to right many wrongs COM
mitted through hasty legislation in the
closing hours of the regular sessions

YARMOUTH DIVORCE CASE.

any trouble about her property. 1t is
anLou- Ced that he claims her entire
estate will go to him in case OF a di-
yor, e, through the terms OF an ante
nupti:l contract. This has incensed
the countess and the members of her
fanlily-the Thaws OF Pittsburg They
say ,hey proposed to nave the proceed
ings as quiet as possible; that they
wanted no public scandal, but il the
hus band puts up tho claim to the wife's
property they will let the whole case
be gone into ard will make public
some things which the proud Hertfords
would not like to have laid bare. The
countess friends claim that at the time
Of her marriage to the earl he had
a Wife living whom he had married
under the Scotch law some ten years
previously and whom he had shortly
afterward paid sum of money To
agree to a separation, but that there
was never a divorce The earl's claim

worse than that before the winter -
over. our people will have great deal
TO be thankful for. This has been one
o. the pfeasantest winters that we
have experienced n this section in
many years
With such winter climate as Viii
mington can offer TO the residents OF
the bleak, .ice-b bound north We do not
see why the people OF that section
should seek the enervatihg regicns of
the far south.
There is only one thing that sands
in our way and that IS the proper ho-
tel accommodations for the winter
tourists from the north. Could this
section of the south aYer the desired
hotel facilities. much of the winter
travel TO Florida woaId stop here. Our
winter climate would be found prefer
able to that of Florida t. the norrh-
crner fleeing from his winter ice
bound home; for it IS less enervating.
and therefore does not leave the win
ter tourist so Ier-5own after his So
5ourn in the milder climate OF the far
south. While our climate is far less
rigorous than that oil the far north
il is still cold enough to be bracing
north is escaped here and at the same
time the enervating warmth Of the
subtropical latitude is avoided.
AS said above all chat is needed is
proper hotel accommodations Cor those
who seek relief from the severe cli-
of the tide of the tourists this way.
The time will come when some man or
men with means ami full realization
OF the advantages Of our section will
build one or more hotels here for the
accommodation of northern tourists
and the thing will be done, and south
eastern North Carolina will have pe-
come the fashionable winter resort of
the north. 1t is bound to come. Ma
ture has done her part. She has been
lavish in her favors and only waits for
the man with means to come to her
aid and do his part.

NoRRo CASTLE IN DANGER

That Is bad news which comes from
Havana that the famous Moro castle
Is in danger of destruction throuGh un-
dermining OF the sca-walls by the se-
we're storm on the 18th instant. Ameri-
can engineers have made an examina-
ton of the walls OF the castle and they
say that unless repairs are made at
once there is danger OF the seaward
batteries falling into the water. This
famous fort or castle was built early
In the sixteenth century. During tho
early days OF European occupation OF
the island OF Cuba IL was used as
political prison and there are many
gruesome stories OF dark deeds com
mi;ted in its dungeons under the sea"
II would be a pity for this historic
building 10 be allowed TO 60 20 ruin
and become a pile of wreckage. IL II
Is to be preserved IL Will have TO be
cone at the expense oI Ias Ohiteu
States, for Cuba is IN no financial con-
dition 10 undertake the cost of its
repair and preservation. Cuba's cause
has already cost the United States
as much as our people should b. will
ing TO spend on IL. and our govern
ment should not be called on 10 under
go this additional expense through
sentimental desire 10 perserve an his
toric landmark in another country. We
are afraid Moro castle will have to
go into the sea-unless the United
States feels sure that in the near
future Cuba will form part Of her
territory and that in view OF such fact
ii would be economy to undertake the
preservation OF this very important
strategic fertilization.
