FOR FORMER PINEVILLE WOMAN
DIVORCE AND ALIMONY GRANTED

Practically the entire town of
Plneville, n. c., was excited with
curiosity last week over the prog
ress of the suit of Mrs. Nicola
Taylor for a divorce and alimonv
from her husband, Guy Taylor.
The case consumed several DAYS
in the superior court for Mecklen-
burg county and early Saturday
morning the jury returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff. A former
hearing of the case resulted in a
mistrial. The plaintiff and de-
fendant are well known in the
Plneville community, where both
were living when they were mar
ried in Charlotte in August. 1906.
Young Taylor is still resident
of Pineville, but Mrs. Taylor.
who was Miss Nicola Grier, has
made her home with her parents
in Charlotte for several wears.
They have one child, boy d years
old.
The couple have never lived
together, Taylor claiming that he
was forced to marry Mrs. Taylor
by her father, Lewis Grier, and
brothers. He also claimed that
one of Mrs. Taylor's brothers
personated him to secure the
marriage license. Taylor slipped
away from his wife within a few
hours after the ceremony and re-
turned to his home in Pineville.
where he has since lived, working
a part of the time at the Chad
wick-Hoskins mill.
The judge before whom the
case was tried has not yet fixed
the amount of alimony. but is
expected to do so during the
week.
The first issue submitted to the
jury was, Were the plaintiff and
the defendant married as alleged
in the complaint?" The answer
was, Yes"
The second: Was the defend
ant forced to enter into the mar
riage by force and duress as
alleged in the defendants ans
wer?" No"
The third issue was: Did the
defendant abandon the plaintiff
as alleged in the complaint?"
The fact that he had left her was
not denied by the defendant, so
the jury answered this. Yes"

The Weather for January.

The daily mean temperature
for January was above the 32-year
average on two-thirds of the
days, the excess in temperature
reaching as high as 20 degrees a
number of times. The accumu-
lated excess for the month
reached about $50 degrees or
nearly 5 degrees a day; in fact.
there has been but little cold
weather since Christmas, al
though December up to that time
was the coldest on record at the
Charlotte Office of the weather
bureau. There were 18 cloudy
days, with numerous fogs: and
but z clear days. And yet the
total rainfall for the month was
slightly less than two inches
against a normal for the month
of four and twenty-nine hun
dredths inches. giving a defcien-
cy of nearly two and a half inches.

inexperienced Principals"

In his annual report State High
School Inspector Hand has the
following to say of the practice
of putting inexperienced princi-
pals in charge of schools employ
ing number of teachers:
Some successful experience is
demanded in undertaking the
management of everything - but
school. To put a wholly mex
perienced teacher at the head of
school is hazardous and may
be ruinous. To put a principal
without a days experience in a
school room in charge of from
three to ten assistants, as is fire.
quently done, is to invite disaster
to both the school and the princi-
pal. This raw recruit is often
put in charge of the work of
assistants who know more of
teaching and school management
than this novice will know when
he is ready to leave the school
room for some other vocation.
The inconsistency of the thing
becomes the more glaring when
he is paid twice the salary
OF his most experienced and
successful assistant. Here are
two instances for illustration: A
school board put at the head of
its school with ten teachers and
$50 pupils, a young man who had
been graduated from college in
June prior to taking charge of
the school in September. Another
board put June graduate in
charge of 5 teachers and IT'S
pupils. Two of his assistants
had had more than ten years
experience.
Some of the blame for this
playing with fate rests upon
over-zealous and indiscreet COL
lege presidents and professors
who recklessly recommend their
raw graduates for these positions.
Some of their letters of recon-
mendation have fallen into nv
hands, and it is hard to under
stand how men, with proper
sense of their responsibility, can
give such endorsements to wholly
untried men for positions so
responsible. In bold contrast
stand other college professors
who absolutely refuse to recon-
mend any inexperienced young
graduate to any but subordinate
positions. May their tribe in
crease.

DOES BLEASE INTEND TO GUST
COMMISSIONER E. J. WATSON?

Indications seem to point to
the probability of a change in
the Office of commissioner of
agriculture. AS was forecast in
The Times a few days after Gov
ernor Blease received the Demo-
cratic nomination last September.
there need be no surprise if
Commissioner E. J. Watson's
resignation is asked for by the
States new chief executive.
The Times knew from remarks
made by Governor Blease during
the campaign last summer that
the work of the department was
not satisfactory to him. The
governor thinks that too little
has been accomplished by the
department for the amount of
money it has expended. He is
also of the opinion that the most
effective work can be done by a
commissioner who is less a
whooper-up and shouter for him
self and devotes more time to
advertising the Commonwealth
along lines that cannot be charac-
terized as hot air.
Governor Blease has not stated
positively that he intends to ask
for the resignation of Mr.. Wat
son, but if straws show which
way the wind blows it is the pur-
pose of the governor to do SO.
Some days ago Mr.. John G.
Richards, Jr., railroad commits
sioner, called at the governors
office to pay his respects, and
while there the governor is
quoted as saying he was sorry
Mr.. Richards had accepted a
place on the railroad commission,
as the governor had better job
for him. Upon inquiry, Mr..
Richards learned that it was the
intention of the governor to
appoint him commissioner of agri-
culture. Mr.. Watson was ap-
pointed commissioner by Cover
nor Hayward when the depart
ment was created several years
ago. He was reappointed by
Governor Ansel two years ago
and his term of office expires
in 1912.

Telephone Under Your Hal.

The telephone trust" will
shortly be throwing fits of alarm
If the wireless telephone of two
Oregon men is successful COM
mercially. They claim to have
the most remarkable wireless
telephone in the world.
Already tests have been made
which seem to prove that a tele-
phone message can be sent 40
miles without wires, that mes
sages can be distributed from an
automobile in the heart of a city
and that the outfit can be made
so compact that it can be carried
under a derby hat.
Their latest step has been per-
fecting a wireless telephone out

Long Staple in Anderson.

S. A. Burns. prominent An
derson county farmer, has sold
seven bales of long-staple cotton.
grown on his farm in Rock Mills
township, to Lewis w. Parker of
Greenville for 1S cents per pound.
The bales averaged 500 pounds
each. Mr.. Burns says that the
long-staple cotton grows lust as
well as the ordinary cotton. max
ing the same yield to the acre,
and with no more fertilizer and
cultivation than is needed for the
short-staple. He expects to plant
his whole crop this year in long
staple. This particular cotton is
known as Burns long-staple, 5"
and 1t has been grown with sue
cess at Clemson college for two
years or more. Mr.. Burns three
years ago noticed stalk of cot
ton in his field that was larger
than the rest, and with a finer
grade of lint. He preserved the
seed, and from this has been
developed the long-staple cotton.
in which he intends to plant his
whole crop this year.

MESSAGE HOLDS THAT COURT
is NOT ADHERING TO THE LAW

Charging that the supreme
court itself is careless of obedi-
ence to the constitution, and de-
claring that many members of
the General Assembly violate the
constitution by holding their
seats and at the same time serv-
ing as trustees of State institu-
tions, Governor BleaSe sent to
the General Assembly Saturday
afternoon a special message sug-
gesting appointment of a Joint
committee to ascertain what per-
sons, in the Legislature or hold
ing other official positions, are
trustees of State institutions.
Owing to the fact that few
trustees trouble to take out COM
missions as such, the records in
the office of the secretary of
state do not show Just who are
trustees of State institutions and
so are of little help in determin-
ing just what persons are refer
red to by the governor. The
records do show, however, that
State Land Agent d. w. Nc
Laurin is also trustee of Win
throp college. Judge Robert Aid
rich, commissioned in 1906 as a
trustee of Clemson, is still car
ried on these records as a trus-
tee, but in fact he was succeeded
on the Clemson board by Mr..
Rawl of Batesburg. Railroad
Commissioner John G.. Richards,
Jr., is also a trustee of Clemson,
though not SO commissioned.
Another Clemson trustee not
commissioned is Senator Alan
Johnstone of Newberry. Still
another member of the Clemson
board who is without a commits
sion is Senator B. r. Tillman.

"Over-supervised Schools. Z"

Commenting on over-Supervised
schools, Prof. w. H. Hand, State
high school inspector, says in his
annual report:
A few schools are oyer-super-
vised. BY this is meant that the
best paid teacher in the school
spends more time than is neces-
sary in supervising his underpaid
assistants, instead of giving an
inspiration to them by doing
more superior teaching himself.
An overworked woman trying to
manage and to teach forty rest
less boys and girls, is in danger
OF losing her poise when she
remembers that every minute of
the day has it's assignment in her
schedule, and that she gets $40
a month, while the principal
teaches about one-half his time
at a salary of $100 a month.
These over-supervised schools are
usually found in the smaller
towns employing from five to ten
teachers. Here are few rather
extreme cases: In one school
there are 6 teachers. 9 grades.
and about 100 pupils. The princi-
pal in this school is paid more
than twice as much as any one
of his assistants, but has no
regular schedule of classes, all
though he does some teaching
every day. In another school
there are Z teachers, 10 grades
and approximately 200 pupils:
the principal teaches less than
one-half his time. Others might
be cited"

AT LAST LEGISLATURE ENACTS
LAW FOR MARRIAGE LICENSE

Substituting for the Nicholson
house bill the similar measure
already passed by the senate, the
house of representatives passed
Tuesday a marriage license law,
with strict penalties, effective
July l next. There was a long
debate. For 25 years the effort
has been made each year to pass
such a bill. At first majorities
against it were overwhelming.
but sentiment has gradually
grown in it's favor. Governor
Blease advocated such a law on
the stump and presumably will
approve the act.
By a vote of sc to 81 the house
refused to strike out the enact
ing words. The senate bill was
substituted for the Nicholson bill.
the measures being identical, and
various amendments were sent
to the desk. By vote of Ga to
8 the house rejected a motion to
continue the bill until next ses-
sion.
The license fee is fixed at
81. In some of the counties
the licenses will be issued by the
clerk of the court. In others the
probate judge will issue them.

The Spread of Pellagra.

Statistics that are available
Indicate that the disease is still
increasing in the number of cases
and in the territory involved"
In this way Surgeon General
Walter Wyman, of the public
health and marine hospital SER
vice, discusses pellagra in a re-
port just submitted to Congress.
In this report he also says:
Statistics that are available
indicate that the disease is
steadily increasing in the num-
ber of cases and in the territory
involved. 1t has been reported
from at least 80 States and the
District of Columbia. and prac-
tically it may be said to exist
over the entire country. Less
than three years ago there were
only a few cases reported from
two or three insane asylums, and
although the total number of
cases at the present time is un-
known it is significant that the
health officer of a Southern State
has recently estimated that his
State alone carried $4,000 cases.
One officer in the hygienic labora-
tory, who has been designated to
study the disease, reports that it
is undoubtedly increasing.
The nature of pellagra, both
as to its cause and transmission.
is obscure. "
