THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1918
A WISE CONCLUSION.

The Senate of North Carolina has
determined that divorces shall not be
made easier by the General Assembly
as at present constituted. The House
had passed two bills relating to the
divorce question, one of which con
templated putting husband and wife
on the same footing in seeking divorce
on Biblical grounds and the other al
lowing divorce after five years sepa-
ration. There is force in the argu-
ment that men should be required to.
observe the same standard of morals
demanded of the weaker sex, but we
believe the Senate reached a wise con-
ciusion in putting the stamp of disap-
prevail upon any further 1axity in the
divorce laws of this State. There
have been, already, too many amend
ments to the laws regulating the di-
vorce evil during the past decade and
We believe a continuance of the
double-standard of morals will be less
harmful than further letting down the
bars would be. The suggestion that
-nien who require their wives to keep
themselves unspotted from the world"
should lead equally pure lives is not
unreasonable and it was pointed out
that only three states-Kentucky, New
York and North Carolina-make a dis
tinction, but the defenders of the pres
n law strongly contended that the
change contemplated might be used |
by immoral men as a means of easy |
divorce. The stand-patters won and
the divorce evil will receive no fur
Their encouragement at this time.
And the point is we'll taken.

1t is little wonder that the State
OF North Carolina has been running
behind in financial matters lately.
The records show that the insignia
can't sum of $4,000 inheritance tax
was collected last year, against $4,000
the year previous. At least 800. OOO
should be received annually from this
source, and several times as much
from other special and privilege taxes
Bring the tax dodgers to books and
much less difficulty will be experienced
in raising funds for current exnen-
ses

The substitute for the Justice State
wide primary bill ought to be approx
ed by both branches Of the General
Assembly. 1t applies only to National
State and District nominations and
leaves optional with the counties the
matter Of including county officers in
the operation Of the act. The pas
sage of the bill depends largely upon
tie support of Western members and
we hope they will permit it to go
through in the amended form.

Neuralgia is a very painful afflic-
ton OF a nerve branch as it comes
out Of the brain or from the spinal
nerves. 1t is usually caused by poor
blood circulation in the nerve.
Neuritis is inflammation of the
sheath of the nerve, the pressure
from the inhammatory deposit in the
sheath causing the pain.
Lumbago is an acute inhammatorv
trouble of the muscles of the lower
part of the back and the hip. The mus
cleS get hard and stiff and the nerves
being compressed, the slightest move
ment causes the most excrutiating
pain.
The same form of atiliction often
appears in the muscles of the neck
so that the head is drawn to one
side, the muscles becoming hard and
stiff.
Rheumatism of the muscles is
a chronic trouble of the same order.

TO PROMOTE GAME INTEREST
CONTINUED from Page one)

/ cans ana an alr-pump and necessary
apparatus so that trout fry can be
taken from the hatcheries and deliv-
cred IN any part of the state where
the railroad runs From these rail
road points the sportsmen are to take
the fish i'll wagons, automobiles or
other conveyances to the streams to
be stocked.
The various railroads in the state
have offered free transportation for
the fish distributing car which is a
considerable saving to the game pro-
lection fund. T. J. Craig, who has
fish distribution in charge, will begin
taking out trout from central hatch
cry at Bonneville, the latter part of
next month. Applications for trout
or game birds should be made i'm
through the sportsmen s |
organization in each community.
Another object of having the
sportsmen organized is to secure
better sentiment in certain localities
IN favor of game protection. 1t is
impossible to secure the enforcement Il
Of game laws unless the citizens of
any locality are in favor of such en-
1t is planned to have at least one

GAYETY.

Plenty OF classy" chorus numbers
with some particularly pleasing dane.
ing turns by Stefi Anderson, are the
features OF Sam Howe's "Lovemak.
ers,' in the Gayety, this week. in a
,wo-act farce entitled, The Missing
Maid" Miss Anderson as a Spanish
, dancer. showed the audience some
thing entirely new in the way OF terp-
sichorean feats.
Sam Howe, as the inevitable ricn
Hebrew of the piece. brought many
laughs and added some original
touches to a rather over-worked role.
Florence Bennett, leading lady. is q
handsome blonde with plenty OF EN-
bonpoint and a good singing voice.
In her passage with Howe, Miss Ben
net shows ability as a coincidence.
The Astor Four, quartet compris-
ing Ed Smith, Earl Woods. Ned Sill
vers and Fred Rite, was well re-
ceived
The work of the chorus deserves
special attention. 1t has been weeks
since collection of girls who dane
ed with such grace vim and abandon
has been seeT on the Gay".y stage.
The ponies, Of which there are a
gcodly number. we're particularly
pleasing. The girls are also possess
ed of good singing voices.
