TIE DIVORCE BILL.
Biblical Recorder.

TIE DIVORCE BILL.
Biblical Recorder.
Two divorce bills have been
presented 10 the Legislature q t
Raleigh. One allows divorce af.
ter abandonment without just
cause lor Ave years (instead Of
ten years, as the presentla law pro-
vldes) and forbids remarriage OF
the abandoning party during the
life OF the abandoned. Tho other
permits divorce after only two
years separation and allows re.
marriage when a year has elaps.
ell after the granting Of the di.
vorce.
The first of these bills is much
less Objectionable than the sec.
ond, but, in our opinion, neither
should supersede the present law,
which is far better.
We offer the following reasons
against any legislation looking
to easier divorce in North Caro-
lima:
!. It would certainly promote
among ne the di, orce evil, which
il one Of the greatest curses ol
our American lite.
2. There is at present but the
slightest demand or occasion
for such a law; and it would be
calamitous to the State ut large
for law to he passed which
would Increase the demand or
multiply the occasions.
3. Our Code already admits
FIVE causes for divorce, while the
New Testament recognizes but
one. To add to the number or tc
weaken their quality would b.
only to stray farther from th'
standard which we all regard al
the perfect pattern Of our ciyili
cation.
! 4. The passage OF the bills pre-
sented would lead to still luther
.Ilax,ty in our divorce Legislation
Ifor il we admit short-term seper
alton, for example. we soon ma,
he called on to add extravaganza
thriftlessness, or even insanity
or misfortune as grounds o
breaking the marriage tie.
! 5. While there may BE- occas
ional hardships under our North
Carolina law a. it now stands
there would under these suggest.
ed amendments be greater injury
to the general public in that the
total population would be vitiat
ed and the tone of ,civic life de-
cidedly lowered.
] 6. To weaken the present Law
would be q backward step in oul
legislation and our social pro
gress for safety atthis vital poin'
lies rather in greater strictnesl
than in growing laxity.
Z. In short, the proposed leg
ialation making divorce easier is
la blow-unintentional, we sup
pose, but q l,low nevertheless-at
the sanctity Of the marriage re.
lation, the purity OF the hom'
and thu integrity of the race.
We, therefore, earnestly hops
that the Legislature will not b!
the passage Of such laws make
divorce easier. the family more
: unstable, or the homeless secure

Coed Roaa:Bills Intredseel.
81. B. Warner In Lenoir Topic.
! wish to call your attention
to three bills that are now before
the General Assembly relating to
the construction Of good roads
in North Carolina.
The flrst relates to the State
giving road engineering assist
ance to the counties.
The need oi.such assistance by
q majority OF the counties IN the
State, in connection with the
road work. is very apparent to
anyone who has Investigated ev-
en- in q casual way the road work
OF the various counties. On ac-
count Of the road work not hay
ing the supervision OF compe
tent road engineers. there is an
annual loss OF 100000 of the
revenue that the counties have
provided for their road work.
There is no doubt but that this
amount can be saved II the road
funds are spent under the super.
! vision OF men who know how. In
this bill the necessary revenue is
to be provided by q tax on au.
tomQbiles.
The bill was thoroughly dis.
Guessed at thu last meeting OF the
North Carolina Good Roads As
sociation, which was well repre-.
eented by the autolnobilists from
all over the State, and it was the
unanimous opinion that the au'
tomobilists would ray such a
tax, provided the money t b u
raised was used for the better
ment of the public. roads.
The second bill, relating to the
use Of State convicts in public
road construction, is a bill that
also received practically the "
unanimous support Of the GOOD
Roads Association and the unan
imous support OF the North Car
olina Press Association at their
1912 meeting This bill proyidet
that all able bodied convicts sen.
fenced to the State penitentiary
shall be used on the public roads
except such as are required il
connection with the work at the
Penilentiary. This bill does not
interfere in any way with t b
present county convict chain
|gang. The allotment OF convicts
in connection with the county
work is by the Geological Board
Of which the Governor il chair
man. 1t is the opinion Of a larg'
majority of the people o. NORTH
Carolina that the convict should
not be considered Il collateral oi
the State, out Of which they shal
try to derive as much revenue al
possible with which to pay run
ning expenses.
The third bill relates to the
State becoming security for coun
ty bonds that are issued for th'
construction Of public roads. ant
simply means the State lends lts
credit to the county. As is vel
known, q State bond can besolt
as bearing a lower rate oi inter
est than g county bond, this be
ling q difference ot one per cent
This one per cant, put ou q
compound interest, will, at tn
end Of q period offorty-one year,
equal the principal of the bono
issue. Therefore, il the bill is pas
. ed, the State, by accepting tht
county bonds bearing five pei
cent interest, holding these a,
collateral and issuing it's Owl
bonds at four per cent, and turn
ling over the money thus raised
to the counties for public.roat
construction, would be able, By
the difference OF one per cent il
interest, to create a sinking fund
with which tn pay OF the Stat
bonds when they become due
