AGENT SAMUEL p. BENNER Ac-
Quilted.

The friends of S. P. Benner learned
with interest of his acquittal by a
jury in Superior Court Saturday. The
case was in the hands of that able
lawyer, L. B. Williams, and was won
in an odd fight
1t seems that according to the origi-
nal bigamy statute of this state if a
man already married contracted a
second and bigamous marriage inside
the state Of North Carolina or else
where he was guilty of bigamy. The
supreme Court, however, in State vs.
Ray of Isl North Carolina reports
held that the part of the statute in
f1ieting punishment for the bigamous
marriage contracted outside of the
state was void and that the man con-
tracing such marriage and living in
this state with his second wife was
only punishable under the charge
commonly known as immoral conduct.
As result of this decision the leg
islature of 1913 enacted law provid-
ing that if a man being married con-
tracted a second bigamous marriage
outside of the state and lived in the
state subsequent to his marriage he
was guilty of felony and punishable
rs in bigamy. It, was proved that
Samuel Pugh Benner was married the
second time, the marriage being a
bigamous one, in York county, South
but this marriage took
place six months prior to the time the
act of 1913 became effective No law
can be retroactive and thus a verdict
Of not guilty was ordered by the
Judge.

ANrI-HoG.

Not Question Of Politics, but of Feet
We rather like the quadruped hog,
but "May the saints presarve us" from
the biped variety! He's worse than
vagrant.
Both are supremely selfish, but only
the se1fshness of the former serves
the interest of man.
Both have been known to devour
their young, the former in the more
human way.
The former will fight for its young
The latter wants the operation re-
versed. Did you ever know So
called man who loafed while his chill
dren worked in factories anad happen
ed around regularly to pocket the pay?
Do you know manufacturers who have
been and are getting rich quick by
using underpaid child labor?
Those are the kinds Of -biped hogs
referred to in this article; and, if the
ouadruped should be penned a regu-
lation distance from human hablta-
ton what should be done with the bi-
ped vampire?

THE SECRET OF A FAILURE.

When your employer put you to
work, there was mutual agreement
that you should receive stipulated
amount for each hour, each day, eacn
week, or month of labor.
Therefore you are not bound to de-
liver any more than is paid for. That's
right, isn't it?
Keep your eve trained on the clock
and when the hands point to quitting
time, be sure you are ready to get
out If the particular job in hand
looks like it might require couple Of
minutes overtime, you had better not
start it until the next day. Better
be an hour early and stand and wait
than to work a minute late. -:
And if you are a few minutes late
getting to work in the morning. be
sure you are ready to stop when quit
ting time comes-or even a few min
utes before. It is the deepest of folly
to become so deeply engrossed in
your work that you forget the time
of day.
Bear in mind that you are paid for
your time; your time is your only
stock in trade.
If YOUR co-workers seem inclined to
occasionally throw in a few minutes
overtime talk them out OF it-on the
boss's time, of course. Fhe boss is
making a profit from your labor.
Of course, if you approach your
boss and suggest that you are worth
more money, he may tell you to prove
it.
And if you should be offered bet
ter position elsewhere, the man who
employs you may hesitate before rec
ommending you.
But, after all, even though you stay
right where you are today, at small
wage, watching the clock, seeing the
other fellows climbing upward and
on, getting more money and all that
don't bulge. You have the. salts
faction of knowing you are not
mark" and can give the laugh to the
old saying: Industry is the price OF
Success"

TAKES, STILL ON SUNDAY.

That eagle-eyed deputy, known here
as 81" Wagner, captured his 'steenth
still Sunday in the E. T. Corbit bot
toms. It was a crude affair, six
gallon lard can with a hole cut in the
top and a gallon lard bucket solder
ed therein to serve as a cap. The
spout on the outside came through
the cap and there was a funnel on
the inside to catch the steam. An
CrdinaSv water pipe served as the
worm or condenser. It is curiosity
and shows to what ends people will
go to manufacture the juice of the
forbidden fruit.
